The Police ist eine 1977 unter anderem von Sting gegründete englische New-Wave-Band, welche die Pop-Rock-Musik in den 1970er- und 1980er-Jahre entscheidend beeinflusste. The Police gilt als eine der erfolgreichsten Rockformationen der New-Wave Bewegung. Vier von fünf Studioalben von The Police belegten Platz 1 der britischen Album-Charts und sie gilt als Karrierestart von Sting. Ihre Musik ist von Reggea, Punk und Ska inspiriert, enthält jedoch auch Elemente von Jazz.
Nach einer Auszeit gab The Police am 12. Februar 2007 anlässlich der Grammy Awards 2007 ihr Comeback bekannt. Anschließend ging The Police erneut auf Welttournee, veröffentlichte jedoch keine neuen Songs. 2008 gaben The Police ihr letztes Konzert.
Die Aufzeichnung des Konzerts fand am 11. Januar 1980 in der Hamburger Markthalle statt. Bevor The Police im Oktober 1980 bei der 7. Rockpalast-Nacht in Essen auf der großen Bühne standen und via Eurovision in unzählige Länder übertragen wurden, hat The Police hier schon einmal im Rockpalast bewiesen, dass ihre Live-Auftritte in Erinnerung bleiben. Zwar noch im kleinen Rahmen, aber auch da schon mit ihren großen Songs im Gepäck: So Lonely, Roxanne, Can't Stand Loosing You und Message In A Bottle standen schon damals auf der Setlist von Sting, Summers und Copeland.

Copeland is the reason I became a drummer.
Between the 12 & 13 tracks there's Reggatta de Blanc.
I would legit buy a DVD of this performance.
Sting is the reason I became a bass player. I wanna look so good !

Stewart was my hero growing up.
I had his Modern Drummer articles all over my room. He’s the reason I became a touring drummer. Years later when I started playing for Tama I got to meet him at a Tama event at NAMM. Out of nowhere I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes while talking to him. He was cool af and said, “it’s ok man” and he gave me a quick hug. I was so flustered but that’s what Stewart meant to me.
After the event, he went out of his way to find me and said he liked my playing and we should hang out sometime. Of course everyone says that and we never did. But I subsequently did became good friends with Jeff Seitz, his drum tech that same day. Also a legend. Great dudes. And that’s my Stewart story. Peace.
Sting was the reason to beginning bass playing😁
Red haired matter
Nice! Sting’s bass playing never gets the attention it deserves. He’s one of my musical heroes too.
So true. Sting is such a solid but yes, underrated bass player and freak of a musical genius. He HAS chops.
Lovely story.
Great story.
the hi-hat show: featuring The Police
lol
👍
Wow, good drummer
Best drums guy I heard
hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Copeland is such a physically strong drummer. Most people would be exhausted after a few songs playing like him.
I'm a 23 drummer from Belgium and Copeland is one of my favorite drummer !
He gives great hugs too.
For sure! That's what's been freaking me out thru 2 hrs of shows. I'd never actually watched them like this. Did you see him LEAP over a speaker or whatever it was when they came back from break? Holy shit!😜🤘🏼
That was a epic leap, he could of really gotten hurt if he landed wrong there
Would charlie benante?
The Police had the perfect guitarist, the perfect drummer, the perfect singer and the perfect bass player 🤟🏼
Absolutely ! And the perfect songwriter
You are right!
Perfect band anytime
This night their soundmixer sucked though.. Where's the bass in the mix???
@@SirG145 absolutely right!…the guitar was extremely higher compared to any other video around (good for me since im a guitarist) 😉
Andy Summers really shines in the live performances. Gets to stretch up more than in their studio output.
that first song i can read his face "Fucking hell that g string is WAY out!"
Stewart Copeland = Legend
Manuel Mantero “Copeland”
Is number one number one
Oysterhead ;)
Copeland's drumming is unreal. Amazing how three individuals could fill up so much space.
Sting = egomaniacal prick
It's June 2023 and I can't believe I can still watch this and feel pumped up
2024 now lol feel same 😂
3 unreal musicians. Just wow. Andy is killing it on guitar, Sting shreds the bass and sings like a madman, and Copeland - well just watch. One of the best 3 man rock bands ever.
Them Cream and Rush 3 piece magic.
@@ALF782 I think to play at trio shows simply everything. Good or bad. These three you have mentioned are the best examples not for good, but for excellent.
His singing isn't at his best here.
Unfortunately, shredding isn't something that elite bass players do. I love the Police; I was an early fan in 1976. But watching this after recently going back to watch some early Cream, and late Beatles, I've realized for the first time that Sting's playing was merely very good, but wasn't on a par with McCartney or Bruce. A three piece band presents unique challenges for a bass player. He has more responsibility for playing melodically, providing more chord structure rather than just bottom end. Here, in "So Lonely", Andy's solo is so spare that it demands much more from the bass, but Sting leaves him hanging. I can only wonder what Jack Bruce would have done here. Not too much, most likely, but enough that Andy wouldn't sound like he was playing alone.
@@OslerWannabe
good point
Stewart Copeland is absolutely awesome
Oysterhead ;)
Keep it in your pants, Sergi
AND finds time for some background vocals!
Ich war 20 Jahre alt.......was für ein geiles Konzert damals. Ich stand ganz in der Nähe von Andy Summers, kann mich aber leider nicht auf dem Video ausmachen. Seit diesem Gig bin ich absoluter Fan von Stewart Copeland, was für ein genialer Drummer.........das ist jetzt schon fast 44 Jahre her, meine Fresse, wo ist die Zeit geblieben???????......TOLLES KONZERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
40 years later, gold is gold.
Copeland is just mesmerizing.
Oysterhead ;)
keep it in your pants, Guido
Brilliant soundscapes by Andy Summers! Guitar 🎸 Phrasing second to none.
Drummer has some of the best percussion skills going, unreal
City Kid: He does what Peart can do but on a smaller kit!!
Oysterhead ;)
Copeland's drumming almost defies physics. He does fills and incredible feats of dexterity where they shouldn't really be possible.
That's an American who grew up in Egypt and Lebabon and cut his teeth in UK progressive rock bands through the 70s. His drumming was influenced by everything he saw around him. Inimitable.
Stewart's drumming on Walking On The Moon is incredible. I have absolutely no idea what's going on there.
The beat is more like reggae isn't it?
It's hard to ever hear Copeland play the same thing twice.... he improvises a lot.
drummer became a living legend by playing Punk music with Jazz hand posture, genius 🙏🙏🤘🤘
I've never seen The Police as urgently rocking as this before. All members just killing it. What musicianship.
AND! no egos (or ego), just 3 dudes playing together as a band, putting their all into it
@@vincenzollamas im a huge police fan but I wouldn't be so sure about that, especially considering Summers. For being the oldest member of the band (circa 10 years older than both sting and Copeland), he acted like a child. He literally threw a tantrum-ultimatum that if they didn't fire the first guitarist they had he wouldn't join the band. They are great musicians yes, but saying that they have no ego is just false lol
@@AbyanAdhi i was just talking about this performance; they all had/have massive egos, sometimes it's more apparent on stage, this show & many of their early shows, it often seemed like they were still working together as a band
The Police: now with 40% more hi-hat...
The Stewie mix -
@@hippojuice23 "Can I have less hi-hat, please?" "Shure!" :-D
@@momazero I see what you did there.
its like Stewart is having a personal battle with the drums and no one is letting up. only one winner, extraordinary drummer to say the least
Stewart is god
This performance is particularly impressive because there are almost NO breaks in between songs. An incredibly cohesive set.
Eric Sandoval ‘’tis a fine jazz set indeed.
That was a standard during the "punk" era.
And lots of blow.
@@mdavis2703 There's always one of you knobs
Andy Summers is so unbelievable underrated. His playing, his sound - not hiding dirty playing behind distorted sounds. He is sooo good.
Here we go, the 'underrated' tag. Who says he's underrated? Just because social media doesn't blab on about it doesn't mean he's underrated.
@@seltaeb9691 Thanks for saying that. That 'underrated' tag is overused. A Summers has an incredible right hand. It's a s tight as Stew's snare. If anyone was underrated it would be maybe be Sting's Bass playing. Fantastic bass player back then. Love the part where AS does the solo in 'Bring on the night', and the Bass switches to this single note thing.
@@seltaeb9691 Thanks for beating me to it. Comments using that term add nothing to the discussions under every music video on UA-cam.
brilliantly put, never thought about it that way, distortion-y bands do seem to ide behind the chord and not think about innovative melody lines, don't get me wrong, there's a place for distortion, but it gets a bit dull..
He was one of best guitarist in world in early 80's!
In my opinion,this was a beautiful period for the police.Their energy was off the charts.Stewart's drumming was amazing.
They were a group, at that time, and not three musicians
Indeed!!!
I feel like most groups are best right before making it big.
One of the greatest bands ever.
For sure!
Every member is genius at his instrument
This is the band I saw at the 3,000 seat Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on 17 May 1979, after the first album (Outlandos) came out and the second (Regatta) was about to be released a few months later. Only six months later, my roommate and I drove to see them at the San Diego Civic Theater on 20 November 1979 just after Regatta was released. Sting was on FIRE in those days, as powerful a performer as I've ever seen.
The band was ferocious - their music took on a different hue entirely when performed live. This is a full concert and a glimpse of what the band was like in those days. They also played Madam Wong's about the same time as the Santa Monica gig, and the Palladium right after the San Diego gig. The theater in San Diego was acoustically perfect, which made Walking On The Moon absolutely surreal.
What awesome shows to have attended, nice.
This Was the Greatest Time In Music History. I was 14 and a Young Drummer at this time. Stewart was SO Influential to Me. It was Such a Happy Time.
I'm exhausted just watching Copeland drumming a few songs. How did he pull off playing the whole set without showing signs of exhaustion.
Years of endurance practice
he's not human, a demigod
He has a jazz type of playing, if you look at his left hand he’s quite light on the snare drum, that’s an energy saving technique…
... and maybe some coke too. But he's extraterrestrial, indeed
His dad was in the CIA so he is probably a super-soldier (human-alien hybrid)
I was born in 1987, but thanks to my mother I've been listening to them since I was a baby, I adore this 3 guys, I feel like they're my uncles.
I love Stewart Copeland plays the drums! It’s almost as he was infinitely furious at his kit.
Stewart used to have writing on his drums. He used to have stuff like F*ck off you b*sterd on the drums and pretend he was thumping Stings head. He used to take out all his anger over him on the drums.
The advant garde-like interlude in Bed's to Big is crazy. What a band.
When I watched this show on German TV in 1980 I was thunderstruck and I knew a new era had begun.
Stewart Copeland - Greatest drummer ever. Unbeatable!
Stewart for ever and ever
These guys changed the 1980s. Their approach, look, sound, etc. had a profound influence on so many musicians and bands. They're all monster players, too.
That drum kit had a cigarette after Steward Copeland was finished with it.
He was beating on that thing like it owed him money.
and needed therapy.
so did that guitar, holy smokes
"F... You" written on it was for Sting.
Stewart's drum sticks, the only thing Chuck Norris is scared of.
My adventure with The Police started with this concert. I became a drummer practicing from a cassette tape made from this gig. I must have heard it hundred’s of times.
Thanks for uploading this :-)
As a kid, I use to use drumsticks to this on my bedspread.
Well if you are going to start learning drums by listening to a tape, the police, specifically the drumming of Stewart Copeland is a good teacher to use!
same story mate first found the police in 78 when I was 11yrs old to my father discussed, went to 3 nights on the trot to the synchronicity tour at the NEC Birmingham uk 1984 age 16 met sting outside gave him my very early demo tape from my Fostex 8 track.. 6 years 7 years later I had my 1st number ! in America All because of sting. Possibly the best British songwriter of the last 40yrs..... a fucking GENIUS
@@MrSandalwood Who are you ?
I'm a man who's owes everything to sting... you are clearly a fan of sting yourself. ..let's just say I'm 5hrs behind GMT and I'm about to sound check that a little clue.. I'm such a barstard
Copeland is mindblowing
Don't come too quickly there, Ceccavara.
The song 'The Bed's Too Big Without You' was sublime in it's entirety. Mind blowing!
As a fan of the Police, I must say that this concert is a sublime one where the technical capacity of the three members is demonstrated in its maximum artistic spelendor: Sting with his unique voice and precision on the bass, Stewart Copeland in his powerful percussive reign of details artistic, and the ultimate painting of colors woven by Andy Summers ... what a band OMG!
Ultimate painting colours woven by Andy Summer.......................
PERFECT description!!👍👍🎹🎼🎵🎶🎵🎼
Damn how good is the live version of bed’s too big? I’m totally mesmerized, what a gem.
I was thinking the same. They seem to fuse reggae, rock and jazz effortlessly. They were so tight as a band too. Incredible.
..except for Andy messing up the timing during the staccato Spanish guitar section at the end of each chorus. It almost seems they had a hard time playing it like the album (which stays in time), so they tried playing it in this accented "off the clock" way, which sounded like a train wreck to my ear. Otherwise, I agree, the rest of it sounded good! One of my favorites.
..or maybe it was Stewart playing it wrong, but something is amiss timing-wise during that part.
The main reason I click on old Police concert videos is to hear that song. One of the best they did yet one of the few that Sting didn't carry over to any meaningful extent in his solo shows.
This is the era when The Police ruled the music world with their new wave reggae rock sound , and no one could come to their level...pure masters 💯❤️
I've come to understand it's miraculous when musicians this uniquely talented happen to find each other.
High tempo, lots of energy and talent. Excellent recording!
The Beatles and the Police: my two favorite pop bands of all time!
both great bands indeed .. but they were both much more than pop bands
The beatles the best of the history....police the best trio....stewart??? God!!!! Of drums
I was 14 and watched this live on TV, secretly because it was very late. I already was a fan but after this I was hooked for life. EPIC! ❤😂
I did too. I was 7. I remember my big brother's girlfriend saying "the drummer is hot".🙂
It’s Stewart’s world and we are just living in it.
Three musicians. Rapid key and rhythm changes. Tight. Wow. What stands out...Sting vocals sounding like the album while playing those bass lines.
Only three musicians but it sounds like a whole orchestra. What a band! Everyone does their job at his best!!
Copeland has to be the smoothest (coolest) drummer ever or certainly up there. Just such a great, swinging style
Keep it in your pants, Rusty Nuts
Andy summer is so underrated him and Stewart are so in synchronized get the hint
Stfu
Sting wrote most of his lines.
He’s not underrated, please.
I hope that he doesn't wear one of these shirts anymore though. It made my eyes bleed.
Stewart Copeland,one of the best drummers ever!!!!
@Jimmy Durex Bullshit, you know Jack shit
The best for ever
The perfect storm. Talent, timing, chemistry....
A fabulous band. Notice that Andy Summers played the same guitar for the whole show. Skill and musicianship are what counts.
He was adjusting the guitar tuning between the songs, no electronic tuners or guitar changes…
Yeah a Telecaster with a humbucker for the neck pickup, and a single coil for the bridge pickup.
What a great little band. Lucky guys who had the chance to see them at this point of their career. Pure energy and excitement. Sting`s vocals and bass are awesome, Andy Summers is brilliant and Stewart Copeland is simply stunning, he`s a wizard on the drums.
Orsm band
...
"Great Little Band?" Understatement . . .
@@SuperRoo_22 True !
It's like I'm always waiting for it to fall apart, but it doesn't!! Thrilling raw energy.
that moment when technically gifted jazz and rock musicians decided to mash punk, pop and world music and blew our minds
That was a Band.all analog and greatest quality like we don't see anymore, after 40 Years still just incomparable.
Probably the tightest of all new wave bands I ever heard. First, we have the god himself, Copeland, the octopus that drove the band with his awesome drumming. And then, Sting bought the best song-writing, and the stellar vocals to the table. Finally, the secret weapon that is Andy Summer, had the siren playing with lots of virtuoso in his playing that made The Police sounded unique and original.
Well said Zack! Perfectly spot on.
Long live New Wave! 🎸🎵💋🎶💖💞🎵
Well said, my good man. Well said indeed!
I’m glad to see all the love for Stewart in particular… he shreds! My all time favorite drummer.
I was there can't believe im still alive.
It's great to have this early, barely controlled energy and excitement they had at playing together captured.
Jan 1980, so this is the Regatta de Blanc tour. Love the set list & of course the energy here, Stewart is on another level playing here, so fast!
Sting got pissed when he did it.
He liked to change timing and Sting has to play according to him. That was a constant source of conflict.
Otherwise, Steward Copelands role as a drummer of The Police can not be overrated. He plays in another league, and he is 50 % of the sound.
@@krollpeter Yep, I'm a huge Copeland fan, but if I were Sting I'd be pissed if he played "Next to You" that damn fast. It actually doesn't work at that tempo, steals all of the feel. He seemed to do it just to get under Gordon's skin.
@@dthorne4602 That could be.
I do understand him, and I don't think he is that pompous as what many believe. They both have their moments.
Maybe, but Sting is a master songwriter. So much of their greatness comes from Sting’s unique songwriting. Stewart says Sting would come to the studio with fully formed demos before Stuart and Andy even added to them.
Incredible! Stewart Copeland is such a freaking beast!
It is great to see that so many people appreciate what THE POLICE did. Makes me happy when quality is being recognized. And what people say about Copland is true, although I'm not drummer myself, I totally understand what those drums meant for the band. One of the best rock trios ever
34.30. The Beds Too Big Without You. One of the best songs and performances - live - by these guys.
This is a really vocally revealing performance from Sting. He’s hoarse and sounds like he’s been touring for about two years straight...yet it only manifests as hoarseness. A lot of other singers would be cracking and struggling when tired but he’s just a bit gravelly. You can tell that he’s generally SUPER comfortable in that higher range of his. Very interesting...
You nailed it. Though Sting spent years with jazz masters and superstars, and recording on deutsche grammophon
long after this period, I still find his years with The Police to be far more mesmerizing.
I have never heard him sound like that. He was really struggling in some parts.
Might be a touch of coke-throat too...
Just a tad...
Listen to Hole in my Life though... that's a LOT of strong YEAHs.
@@villehytonen7279 Yea, and yet, not really struggling!
One straight into another. Stewart can hardly wait.
Best drummer on the planet!
What?
If u want to do a 3 min song in a minute half.
unmatched.
best coke from another planet...
Together with Neil Peart (RUSH). And let's not forget Lombardo and Bostaph.
goddamn sting and that fretless bass on walking on the moon
He has remove the frets...
@@Tolbens no that's a fretless Ibanez bass, there were no frets on it for him to remove. he started as an upright bassist so he was used to that. I don't think he was hearing his bass too well in the monitors though because his intonation was out several times. it happens.
@@MobiusBandwidth during Walking On the Moon, you can see Andy asking the monitor mixer for more bass on stage.
I agree. His job was hard enough singing and playing bass. Why did he make it harder by using a fretless? Still enjoy this but the guitar and bass are continually out of tune. He actually pitches his vocal to the guitar thankfully.
The Police are definitely on the best bands that ever came out and so tight especially with Stewart Copeland , he's a rhythm master!
Love the early punk Police songs. Stewart ‘Beast Mode’ Copeland wow…!
The arrangements are so incredibly good, just the three of them together and it never sounds empty 🤯
The Bed’s Too Big Without You-SPEECHLESS!!!
Dear god! I never go out any more. What is the point??? For free I watch incredible stuff like this. FREE!! half way thru and I keep listening over and over to the first 3 songs. So tight, so good.
At the same time there is a huge difference between watching a video and being in the crowd and experiencing it directly.
Mark Wilkins but there are Zero bands like the police these days.....that’s the point
True, but we’ll never be able to see them live. This, is the next best thing.
I live in a small town in Argentina, it's 30 minutes to 2021 and I'm celebrating in advance for having survived. I confirm each and every compliment to The Police when I was 19, and here was only one vinyl of them. They have been simply great, wonderful. Thank you very much for uploading this gem and happy 2021.
Yo tengo 19. The police es anacrónico!!!
@@tomgat6314 Claro, suele suceder con esos grupos integrados por músicos extraordinarios, fuera de serie y dispuestos a ser vanguardia o nada. Coincido con vos, The Police fue un súper trío, menospreciado y subestimado por algunos críticos que no tenían ni idea de lo que estaban escuchando. Saludos
Arnaldo, saludos de Brasil. Estás sano e salvo, todavia?
@@paulorobertofrazao Sí, si. Trabajando ahora mismo. Muchas gracias por preguntar! Saludo afecto
@Fernando Cunha Yes, you are right. Cheers and happy. Thank you
Here you can see the amazing drummer that Stewart Copeland is
Oysterhead ;)
He also achieves what many musicians dont achieve. You can tell its him playing drums because of his unique sound and style. CHEERS!
@@ThePauseMenuVlog Great band.
Keep it in your pants, Eldra
Love all the love I’m seeing in these comments for Copeland. He really is in a league of his own with the unique blend of influences and styles.
To the older crowd here- He is what my generation refers to as “a whole ass unit”.
The Police where the perfect storm of talent. The cymbal master, the chord master and the song master.
That drumming though...just epic
I LOVE Deathwish. Could listen to that intro a million times and never tire of it 😀
I love the little Bo Diddely part thrown in to match the Diddely riff. Stewards hi hats!!!! I've been listening to this version for years. Never fails to amaze.
Walking on the moon. Damn. What a song!!
He shouldnt use fretless though
@@nestormachvo - Fretless LOOKS cool, though ;-))
Andy sounds out of tune on it here btw😜
I never heard the live vibe so nice - the bed's too big KILLED IT ....to an next level.
What a fun band they were .
Stewart Copland was just awsome
Andy is fantastic guitar player. He is in my top ten.
Keep it in your pants, Matthew
The Police at their Best! Amazing musicians. All the energy of talented youth!!
zoom, und 40 Jahre zurück! So heftig, so geil, die vermisse ich sehr.
amazing gig. early days of the police, still raw and furious. one of the greatest power trio ever. miss that band so much!
This is such a GREAT show. Love Sting's energy, Stewart's wonderful tempo and Andy's...EVERYTHING. Simply AMAZING guitar work here!!! Love The Police!!! 😁
Amazing ! Copeland is really on his usual explosive fire 🔥, what a great gig , nice to see sting really enjoying himself too. RIP The Police
This and the Poytechnic show are two of their best live concerts! It’s high energy and Stu has those long arms. It’s like he was born to drum. Tall, strong and lanky! And Andy is brilliant with his echoplex and soundscapes.
Then Sting playing bass and singing the lead which is harder than you think. Try it sometime. I used to play the bass. No way could I sing anything other than a backup vocal and play accurately at the same time much less sing entire songs and play. No way!
So I’m glad this was filmed for posterity so new generations can see and hear what a great power trio band this was! 💥⚡️🔥😎🎸
He is built like a goalkeeper - but we are lucky he is a drummer. (Well, no soccer in the US in those times anyway). Edit: He is THE drummer.
Born to drum ABSOLUTELY !!!
For the ultimate (imho) in playing bass while singing try a live Turn the Page by Rush. Now THERE'S a bassline and a half! SLing in a few keyboards, why not.......
Man, these guys play so tight, it's very impressive.
Andy, Stewart and sting , what else is worth listening to , amazying trio , that will never happen again ❤️💯 Andy's playing is just too good in this concert. Stewart is equal to two drummers ❤️💯,
Sting with his bass brilliancy and amazing voice is untouchable 💯❤️
Roughly 5 years, 5 great albums and done. Not many could pull that off.
What a blast it was to see these guys in concert. I was lucky enough to see them during the Synchronicity Tour. I couldn’t take my eyes off of Stewart Copeland. His energy was off the charts.
(Hell ALL of their energy was off the charts)
If you ever needed an example of what made The Police so special, without the added weight of one of their famous "hits", look no further than the sublime "The Beds Too Big Without You" at 00:34:00 - every element a showcase of unique talent. This and Shadows In The Rain Live (Gateshead 1982) my two favourite tracks.
the magnificed trio! wow....Sting's so outstanding! Andy's wonderful guitar work! Copeland's master of Hi-Hat!
Copeland is absolutely amazing
Limitless energy and fantastic musicianship here.
This is amazing and incredible footage
