I've listened to Sting as both a solo artist and with the Police. I gotta say, I like his stuff with the Police better. I don't know it just has different energy, perhaps Stewart and Andy added a different kind of energy and passion than Sting's current band. GOD bless.
Holy shit I can't believe it's Andy Summers. I loved the police so much...1st band that made me listen to white music. I remember I was 13 I stole Ghost in the machine. From my local library by wrapping the album around my leg...my sister put it in the oven to straighne it out....still listen to the police daily I'm 56 yo.
Andy,Stewart & Sting, I don’t think it could have worked if one of these guys was not in the Police. Just bought the albums again, great to listen to after all the years.
Wow, amazing footage of these two streching out. Stewart's time has gotten amazingly better, staying in the pocket, but giving it the fire in the groove!
They make it look super effortless!!! The best part is that they just look like they are enjoying this and let the music soar. I'm not worthy!!! Thanks for the video!!!
Wow! What a treat! You can't even find stuff like this on the extras on DVD's... I was a bit confused at one point here because they weren't showing Stewart, but it sounded like he started playing a beat with double bass. He's never played double bass.
This reminds me that Andy was supposedly originally part of Animal Logic. If Wikipedia is accurate, Andy was concerned about comparison to the Police. Who cares... It was a golden opportunity to perform new songs and to show off Stewart’s and Andy’s songwriting skills which never scratched the surface in the Police. With his vocal album Andy showed he is an excellent lyric writer. And with a permanent guitarist, AL might have been able to endure longer.
Well, looks like I stumbled onto Andy Summers' very own channel. Can I ask you to re-release XYZ? If it came out again and included Carry Me Back Home as a bonus track, I would gladly add it to my music library.

Not sure who would say this. He was a R&B blues guitarist who played with a version of The Animals. When I saw him on the reunion AS had a solo section like this...it was very impressive.
they don't need Sting if they want to form a band without hits songs and albums, sold out arena, many millions more fans, many millions album sales, great charismatic smart frontman, great melodyst, great lyricist, great musician, great vocalist with great unique voice and appearance, great improvisator too... the list goes on
Andy’s special famous tele was once left leaning against a boiler or something and he claimed it messed up the pickups and it never sounded the same. That was many many years ago.
That's wasn't really Sting's doing. The Police started off by jumping the punk bandwagon, where "rockist" or "prog-like" solos were frowned upon. Thereafter, I suppose that one could argue that they became associated with New Wave, where many bands, critics and so on thought likewise. The Police format didn't really allow for long, ripping solos, since the essence of it was to distill things down to the three or four minute "pop" song - at least on record. The only occasion I know of on which Sting (and Stewart, I believe) objected to one of Andy's few LP solos was during the recording of "Omega Man". As Andy himself has said, he eventually settled on the solo that we know, which was "less hairy" than the original take(s). Moreover, I would posit that Andy is more interested in tone, textures and unusual, interesting chord phrasings than soloing - even if he can do the latter brilliantly.
Stewart Copeland addressed that point. (Paraphrasing) he said that both he and Andy would come up with songs and then Sting would present his material. Both Stewart and Andy would reply “F*ck doing our sh*t, let’s go with Stingo’s songs”
Sting probably doesn’t do soundchecks or jams in case people think The Police will get together to produce new material and taint his “Oh, so amazing solo career”.
-ya' know.. they made a big mistake... after Sting left the Police, Summers and Copeland should have picked up another Singer/Bassist, and formed another band
With which songs? 80/90 of Police hits belong to Sting ...You should pay him for the use eventually..The only way is to produce new material with the new frontman...But it's no longer Police...It's another band... Easier said than done
??? the drumming style come from this traditional grip. Thats why he sound like stewart copeland..like no others ! You feel completely different with this grip on the left hand. you find some space in the bars, new fills and chops..i try this since few weeks..great style !
i dont care how rich and powerful Sting got as a solo artist he NEVER had a band like these guys
I've listened to Sting as both a solo artist and with the Police. I gotta say, I like his stuff with the Police better. I don't know it just has different energy, perhaps Stewart and Andy added a different kind of energy and passion than Sting's current band. GOD bless.
Sting without the Police is elevator music.
Too True
Agreed
At this moment Sting has some boring ( very good )musicians; he had better stayed with Andy and Stew and made new Police-work....
Andy is so good highly underrated
yesss
He's not you fking clown
He's one of Robert Fripp favorite guitar players and Steve Hackett ( ex Genesis guitar player on the 1971-1977 era Gabriel /Collins).
He is not underrated!
Can I ask your royal highness what this man would have to achieve? Think before you spout...
Two beasts, literally. Total proficiency on both their instruments. It's unreal!
Nice good to see you two together.
This man was/is/will always be one of my guitar gods. Yes sir.
Andy and Stewart - without Sting or any other bass player - are better than everything in any given day’s Spotify Top 100.
Holy shit I can't believe it's Andy Summers. I loved the police so much...1st band that made me listen to white music. I remember I was 13 I stole Ghost in the machine.

I love Summer's guitar work. I was hearing some Cream in here.
I thought the same!
Well, they were contemporaries. AS did some tasty demos with Jack Bruce you can find on UA-cam.
Wow I didn't know a strat could sound like that.
Look at what's on the floor...
Andy can get any sound!! In fact Andy is pure sound!!!
Andy and Stewart are so good.
Sooooo amazing!!!!!! Andy is an incredible guitarist!
Every little thing they do is magic.
...sorry, couldn't resist!
Andy Summers - the most under rated guitarist in Rock history.
Yeah , right. I bet your'e better than him ? in your dreams pal.
Yes, thats absolutely accurate! Hell, Sting is not even there and they are still kicking some major ass.
@@Michael-Philip Overrated Hell! If it wasn't for him or John Bonham, I wouldn't have even picked up a pair of drumsticks.
@@kathyloveless6525 well, then! good thing the critics were as kind as they were, haha!
What’s his rating?
Thanks for the memorıes (1978 thru 1983) Andy!
He's still cranking at 81.
Almost 13 years since the Anaheim concert! Went with my dad, got decent enough seats. Still have my shirt and the commemorative bag lol. What a time.
Two amazing musicians
Absolute control of dynamics!!!
These two should record together, maybe get a singer??
Why I learnt to play guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion, hell Music. Wish I'd had room for a drum kit.
Andy. The Master. Amazing
Andy,Stewart & Sting, I don’t think it could have worked if one of these guys was not in the Police. Just bought the albums again, great to listen to after all the years.
That's pure music! Great jam!!!
I didn't realize Andy Summers was this good.he sounds awesome.first time I heard Stewart on a double bass pedal too..impressive
a dozen solo albums....
@@XanAxDdu Very good albums indeed. Especially "Mysterious Barricades" and "World Gone Strange".
I love Andy's guitar strap.
Wow, amazing footage of these two streching out. Stewart's time has gotten amazingly better, staying in the pocket, but giving it the fire in the groove!
time? better? the older stuff still *pops*, man! and very snappily, i must say! time, is just a concept anyway!
And you know , you twerp
Bloody brilliant stuff Andy. ❤ 💪
HEAVEN
deberian ser eternos!
Love love love it 😊
Hendrix Experience vibe. Very cool!
Pero señor andy summers usted se está luciendo
They make it look super effortless!!! The best part is that they just look like they are enjoying this and let the music soar.

So savage - love it!
Impresionante 😎
Wow! What a treat! You can't even find stuff like this on the extras on DVD's... I was a bit confused at one point here because they weren't showing Stewart, but it sounded like he started playing a beat with double bass. He's never played double bass.
Robin Thrower sound. Love it!
Unbelievable. Thank you SC!
Nice jam session 👍👍👍👍👍
The greatest thing on UA-cam? Me thinks so!
Wow!!
That's hot!
Damn!
they play for love of play and feel good when do. they love when play
👏👏👏👏👏
❤
Two genius !
Hell YES!
Like wow!
@ 2:15 he starts with what has to be double bass pedal. I never knew he used one.....
He doesn't he alternates his big toe and pink toe on his right foot.
Send the master a happy birthday
Amazing !

Agreed. With Sting off the stage, Stewart and Andy could have shone a lot more. I'd have loved to have seen an AL show with Andy as a member.
The band should have been called Rush Hour instead of Animal Logic with the female lead singer in 1987...Andy preferred to go solo...
Jamming with the Giants !!
grandi!
A proper jam
Andy and Stewart on aniham jam
Sonic!!
Hendrix with a shuffle groove !

Stewart and Andy rock! Grab a new bass player and continue before it's too late! You guys are God's!
God's what?
@@kipperfeast Jesus🕯 did say "Ye are as God's" but most give everything(personal creative power) over to chase the mighty dollars💲 of fiat paper created by satanic banking cabals💰
Yes but get a bass player you can hear this time. I could never really hear sting in a live mix.
@@si5883 I believe Geddy Lee is available 😁
Shit yeah. Get a great bassist and play some cool fusion.
Ah now, there's the old faithful "horse" and cowboy working hard jammin.🎸😉
Where Is Stingo..??????
Who cares
Peeping out from backstage, mouthing, "Sonofa bitch!"
Counting his millions.
For those who say, "He can't play solos."
Who would say that who has ever heard them perform live.
Not sure who would say this. He was a R&B blues guitarist who played with a version of The Animals. When I saw him on the reunion AS had a solo section like this...it was very impressive.
His part in "So lonely" is one of the greatest in music history.
I mean...didnt he play with King Crimson or Robert Fripp back before the Police?
@@garyfarris1370 he also played on david bedford’s the odyssey before the police and also played on the orchestral version of tubular bells
this two, joking, are better than many musicians around sting after Police. hope one day sting understand that in musical terms only
to those who believe that the Police sound could not be achieved without pre-recorded bases...
See? They don't need Sting.
Wait! .. Who's Sting??
Sting Who Leftee can fill in for him!
Sting is the singer and the bass. His voice always were amazing!
@@TheKinoEye he have a bad voice.

That all they need a singer
Andy playing a strat? what is going on? where is the tele?
Andy’s special famous tele was once left leaning against a boiler or something and he claimed it messed up the pickups and it never sounded the same. That was many many years ago.
Where the hell is Sting?
Y porque no... Summers, copeland y stanley clark
Too bad Sting never let Andy rip into these long guitar solos !!
And also not let Andy write more songs..

Saving his voice for the show. Not uncommon
@@robertk2007 You know he also plays bass guitar right?
@@robertk2007 Even at the show, he can't hit the high notes anymore.
Andy was spotted by Jim Hendricks .. who he jammed with when he was a Kid.. ... it shows here
They killed kenny!
Bit of Clapton in there
No fuking sting even betterment
Unless they want to be a jam band
andy, taking care of business/
Channeling Hendrix...
Sounds like me learning to play guitar, it wanders all over the show in a aimless direction.
Not good to my ears, and I like Andy Summers on vinyl.
Yeah right, it’s a travesty The Police didn’t get you in for those reunions instead of this Andy Summers guy
Ok, j'ai écouté jusqu'au bout, 4 min en mi, ils ont fait mieux heureusement

Large hands for a small man
And then Sting walks in and proceeds to boss everyone around. ... jerk 😑
Keep the flagolet dissenting forever.
Ahí es cuando ensayaban para la gira q" hicieron el 2007,fue genial ese recital,ahí estuve
Just leave this like this, there is no need for a bass player
Bring in Bruno Mars or John Mayer as a replacement front man and Sting would become just another David Lee Roth
No Colin Hay would fit their sound a lot better imagine them doing 'Who could it be now' or 'Overkill' would sound amazing!
Bruno Mars' cover of So Lonely alone is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Why these 2 didnt carry on and get just get Billy Sheehan and maybe a good singer I will never understand.
Could have added a new unknown singer and a bass player who only plays bass. A 4 or 5 piece band instead of just a 3 piece.
Too Rolling Stoned?
not that feel-------------------------------------------------- the police
The police are rich
really nothing special here...meaningless playing
Apuesto 2 pesos que ni tocarías mejor
If Stewart would hold his sticks differently he probably sound better. I could have come up with better beats and fills than that.
I know!....dude!!??..... if only 'you'd...been the drummer for the Police, Huh? Lol!
??? the drumming style come from this traditional grip. Thats why he sound like stewart copeland..like no others ! You feel completely different with this grip on the left hand. you find some space in the bars, new fills and chops..i try this since few weeks..great style !
And he's naturally left-handed but plays a kit set-up for a right-handed drummer. Could this be another contributory factor to his unique style....???
Yeah I guess Buddy Rich should have changed his grip too and all the other great drummers because you're better than them I bet lmao!
Traditional grip in my opinion is better. Stewart does this very good especially when he is hitting his snare and doing his thing on the hi hat
Wow!!!
