Clip from a German TV show "Bios Bahnhof" 18-5-1978

[@haysfordays]

Stewart playing in 6/8. A first to hear for me!

[@tomtrana3449]

OMG! Guitarist Andy Summers will be 80 years old in a few days on December 31, 2022!

[@deeroberto2]

2024 anyone here, fan from 10years old ,52 now,this Project with Eberhard sxhoener... Wasnt there also a vinyl release??? Anyone ❤

[@pizzalordmarv07]

Awesome video. This has to be my favorite look for Sting out of all of the different looks he's had over the years. I absolutely adore his hairstyle, this is a very cool and obscure clip. I love stuff from this very early era of the band.

ur caught lil bro💀 GO BACK TO YOUR CAGE

[@blackblue9721]

...the natural Sting

[@ajh180]

I really like Andy’s playing on this! Wish it was longer.

[@joseantonioalonso9904]

Gran solo de Andy!gran voz de Sting y el incombustible Copeland!

[@caitlynmartin5950]

The Police were originally part of Eberhard Schoener's backing band. This track appeared on Schoener's 1978 album "Video Magic".

[@johanponin1360]

apparently it's from Flashback (same year) www.discogs.com/Eberhard-Schoener-Flashback/master/352259 ps: apparently it's an original composition from Schoener too, it's surprising that it didn't get a little fame, it's a beautiful song.

Great find tx for posting

[@deco-edesiojairwittkowski8883]

amazing

[@dE3Lov]

This song is most unlike any of their others.

[@joseantonioalonso9904]

Brutal,gracias por compartir!

[@ivanbarria1714]

La historia cuenta que Eberhard tenia una mujer como cantante (Stew dice que muy pretenciosa) pero ella no pudo asistir a una presentación asi que fue Sting quien la reemplazó. Nadie en la banda tenia conocimiento de la voz de Sting. Todos se quedaron mirando incluso los musicos de Eberhard. Lo demas es historia.

[@fabiangarcia1178]

Como siempre! GENIAL!

[@Plexpara]

they made 3 full albums together

[@jobsgarage]

Thanks so much for posting this

[@LucioPalmaJr]

Sting on the other side of the stage... Not usual

[@PoliceBoy465]

that was my first thought.

[@ivanbarria1714]

No, like "hatfield polytechnic concert" 1979

[@NorsoundCanada]

But with a keyboard player, he's in the CENTER, lol.....

[@jeniferallan6693]

Good spot.

[@enricosimonato6431]

Only one song live? Natural hight?? Thank you!

[@markportier5466]

The singer, guitarist, and drummer are pretty good. They should think about forming a trio.

[@right-hand1388]

Ooooonllllyy the wantit too ! What a scream !

[@popitinpete]

Is that Schoener on the Rhodes? Belting rock guitar from Andy!

[@amilcarvalenca3381]

What a hell . . . ??? Nice posting man...

[@headford265]

Wow, Where did you get this? Do you have the rest of the show? Do you know what month in 1978 this was from? This is the first time I have heard this song. Is it a Police original or is it a cover? Thanks for posting!

[@torstenclau936]

18th of May 1978

[@right-hand1388]

Full version?

[@riveroforchids]

christ were they a talented band. my goodness

[@JohanBVandenblinkTaselaar]

Actually it's Eberhard Schoener.

[@lauraidini4859]

Se si avessero dubbi sulla voce alta di Sting😎...

[@user-dt6jp4hx4v]

立ち位置がアンディと逆になってる

[@docfaceful]

Why does he sound like sting?

[@pizzalordmarv07]

Because it is, he was with The Police at the time.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

And on that night, their reputation as a punk band shattered into a million pieces.

[@PatrickBaele]

idiot it's from before that

[@RichV20]

Man, they had a hard time pretending to be punks, no matter how hard Stewart tried. They replace punk Henri, with British Invasion veteran Andy. They release Fallout, then record this on TV. It was futile keeping up the charade.

[@dinopappous6639]

You could see the pomposity in Sting's eyes....Brutal..next

[@JKLeScH777]

Cry

[@diegomorales8616]

Where's the terrible jazz singer with the snarl who's out of tune (...and likes it that way)?

[@pizzalordmarv07]

I was wondering this too, I read about it in Stewart's memoir and thought she would've been in this clip

[@mancuniancandidatem]

Haha! That comment cracked me up too.
