😀Why do I own 15 guitars, 7 Synths, countless drums, bells, wind chimes and other musical instruments. These guys, that's why. How did they do that? The best band ever for me. And live, you'll never see better inprov. Stew, Andy and Stingo are geniuses. These songs are timeless. The best act ever, Full Stop.
Absolutly correct saw them Sync. And Reunion where I met the All!!! What absolute thrill to have followed them since 80 and then stay in the same hotel and speak with them all!!!! Drummer by the way Stewart was my all time greatest influence Funny story now but back during the Ghost in the machine tour I had tickets and wound up getting grounded and my parents would not give in..
@@JayBuff19I would have been 5 years old would when this concert was played. 😂 I wish I could have been there. But I've been a huge Police fan ever since I was old enough to start hearing their songs, starting around maybe 7-8.
Sting and Stewart are an incredible rhythm section, but the way Andy fills in with the melody and the harmonic flourishes is mind boggling. He’s a master of digital delay.
@@QuotenwagnerianerBy that point though, for some reason, Queen's popularity had faded in the US and I think they stopped touring there. I think possibly, the Hot Space album was not well received.(I personally really like it). The Police were playing stadiums as well as large arenas in the US in 83. I know Queen still maintained a massive fan base in Europe and South America. They did have a miniscule dip in popularity (by their own standards)though until Live Aid and the Kind of Magic album was somewhat of a comeback. I don't really think they regained their popularity in the USA until Bohemian Rhapsody was used in the Wayne's World film.
When you become master at your craft, you shine like a bright star, like Sting at the the time. These moments are short and precious and they never return.
But they did return in 2007-2008 with the reunion tour. (5th highest grossing tour ever) Without Stewart and Andy their would be no Sting. One of the best 3 piece bands in history!
@@WThomas66 You're wrong! without Sting there won't be any Stewart and Andy, anybody can be a drummer or anybody can be a guitarist but there's only one Sting. Look at Sting now, without those two he's still famous and popular. So, look at Stewart and Andy now, where are they?just vanished? they need someone called Sting 😏🤥
@@sydkibweterer2719rubbish. Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland are doing quite well scoring movie soundtracks and composing orchestral concerts. The three guys are all exceptional musicians in their own right but the alchemy of the Police is greater than the sum of it's parts.
This was the night before an enormous stadium gig with 60,000 tickets sold. It was a secret concert that was announced on the radio starting around 3 pm and by 6 pm the Spectrum was full....the sound in that place was about as good as you can get, having been specifically designed for live music....I did not see the show but I heard the announcement on the radio...oh and it was free
Watch him on Letterman’s drum solo week…and understand he wrote every note of every instrument played…he was fucking great here……nowhere even near his peak….he just gets better as a musician….year after year.
@@goranekstrom708 dont be so hard on the man, i was there too, and from my musical point of view he wasnt that bad, at all, i ve heard really bad ones, be thankful u got the chance to hear them once more, just like Rush, can u go see them again? No right! . .
El soporte musical-coros, también tienen mucho que ver con el desarrollo y armonía de las canciones, en este concierto las primeras canciones estaban con mascaras, debe ser la estrategia del concierto. Police gran equipo.
What a composer.. sting always created another universe, invited us in and tour guided us through a mansion of familiar furniture to golden rooms and crazy kitchens brewing up soul food and excursions of the mind. A band that was meant to be.
I just pick up tickets for his 24-25 tour going with a bunch of friends down here in South America , i saw the tape of his tour in Boston he just turn 73 he is in good shape hahah. I am 70 . I was 29 when he was doing this concert. Check it out . Yes Dominic is on guitar and the guy from Buford & sons on drums. We all get older but i still have fun.
All the audience footage from this wound up in the officially released police synchronicity concert live in Atlanta. Filmed by the same people. This is a better concert. Stimg’s voice is so much better here than in the officially released one.
In 1983 there was no live record of The Police. I recorded that concert from TV show on VHS and every day after school I used to played guitar on it trying to reproduce Andy Summers' playing. I still remember the girl dancing in the audience at 18:16
Saw them on this tour. One of the best concerts I have seen, even all these years later. They were a tight, passionate band with great songs. Sting had a great voice.
I rented a set-top box for two weekends from my local Cable provider and recorded Bowie Serious Moonlight and this concert the next week off First Choice. I watched that Beta tape SO many times. I love this concert.
I got very lucky and saw The Police live in Chicago at Wrigley Field just before cell phones invaded society. I have been to Montreal three times for Footbag Competitions, twice to compete and once just to hang out with fellow kickers and see the level of play. It would have been an outstanding upstanding everlasting experience to combine the two experiences together. Taking nothing away from Chicago but Montreal is unforgettable. Just as The Police live are too.......❤❤ Thanks for the memories Montreal........
Sheer brilliance.... their perfect performance and meaningful lyrics gives me goosebumps! The best western culture had to offer these days... skill, craftmanship, spirit, high energy and pleasure combined!
Superchannel featured this concert back then. I had cable running into our home receiver, and recorded this and the interviews on a BASF 90 minute cassette.
Grandiose, le groupe au sommet de son Art ! À mes yeux, sans doute un de leurs meilleurs concerts, avec celui du Chili et du Shea Stadium, que j’ai eu de surcroît la chance de voir retransmis à la télé pendant l’été 1983… inoubliable pour moi !…Je me souviens de cette jeune femme dans le public, qui danse, comme si c’était hier…Police, l’énergie positive et communicative , le rythme toujours le rythme !!! Dommage que ce Synchronicity Tour était déjà leur dernière tournée avant la séparation, malheureusement… Ils me manquent énormément ces 3 Magiciens la !!!… ❤️❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Fabulous treat. Never got to catch The Police live. Still totally electrifying. And such powerful songs! 💖 Thank you for uploading this treasure, Obi Wan Kenobi 👍
How is it that the same audience members who appear here also appeared in the concert footage from the Atlanta show that was eventually released on video?
Cool, thanks for posting! We all saw The Police, three days later, Aug 5th, 1983, in Toronto at the CNE Stadium. Great line up, Blue Peter, King Sunny Ade, Peter Tosh and Simple Minds!!! I'm staring at the poster, here in my office, as I listen to this. Went to all of The Police Picnics, a a couple Sting shows too, Great Great Band!!!
I've never seen a better performance by the band. Wow. Studio-like vocals by Sting. Less ad-lib. And that phone call recording at the end was just hilarious.
It’s sad, on these soundboard recordings you don’t get the full effect of the delay on stings voice and stews drums, it was one of the best things abt the concert and tour bootleg tapes
Probably because they were playing in a much smaller venue. By this time they were selling out stadiums and arenas everywhere, playing a club like Le Spectrum was probably a nice break from the massive shows.
Alchemically boiling rhythm, harmonics and composition down to three essential players, mining a surprising communo-reggae cultural ethos, putting out progressively more self-confident albums culminating in this macro-supernatural conceptual peak, then stopping cold. A wholly unique, inspired, and phenomenal band defining the best of the 80's.
Wow, at the Spectrum. Great venue. Small enough that every seat is perfect. I saw Siouxie and the Banshees, Sarah McLaughlin, They Might be Giants there. That's treat.
I think they different styles and contents; in that level I think the word "better" add up, they're all great in their respective arts. Now if you use "better" but in comparison with nowadays music, I take it.
I swear some of those crowd shots were inserted into their Atlanta show video. I recognized that guy from the opening tune. I mean, unless he followed them to Atlanta and did the exact same facial expressions.
I'll never forgive myself for missing this. Tickets were free but you had to phone to a local radio station to get them. My friend and I didn't have tickets, but we briefly thought about going anyway, then we said "Aahh... no!" The next day, we read that, when it was show time, organisers realized that they had not given enough tickets so they let in people who were in the street in front of the venue (Le Spectrum.)
@@mrJimCharles yep he was the very first act onstage that day...nobody knew who he was and he had just put out Texas Flood and was getting a tiny amount of airplay on the radio at the time...Talking Heads blew everyone away
if it was rating pure energy and drive... yeah. He may win. otherwise.. not nearly the greatest, and the conversation is kinda sad in all cases. Most musicians, and I've heard most of the drummers (the only ones you likely know) say that they hate the fan hero worship when the words "best and greatest" come in. Because as musicians, they know the truth. They're NOT~ So, i will restate your comment: Stewart Copeland is my favorite drummer. And the guy who likes bruford... same thing. I've heard more than one producer that worked with him a lot say how bad his meter is.. and it is true. But still amaazing at his little slice. As a drummer, producer and Bruford and Copeland lover, it's all sad the hear that stuff. They do what they do. Let them have their super tiny slice of drumming. So many ca do, and or are better than them and the things that "drummers" are. More true today.
Quand un extraterrestre ( Sting ) decide de descendre sur terre , rencontre deux génies et décident de jouer de la musique ensemble cela donne le groupe Police..un des plus grands groupes de l'histoire du rock...jai vu ce concert en France en 1983 j'avais 16 ans .. énorme souvenir..jai toujours leur 5 albums..mes idoles pour l'éternitée ♥️🎸🇲🇫

Just trying to wrap my head around Andy Summers guitar work is impossible, he fills in those rhythym spaces with unfathomable textures

Thanks so much.
I saw the Police in Oakland, CA one month after this. Unforgettable show. So happy to see this video! I was 19 then and now I’m pushing 60. Jeez.
Fantastic day on the green Green it was
I was at that show!
I remember Sting ‘I think’ pulling a table cloth out from under a bunch of plates on a table on the stage.
People forget just how big the police were in the 80’s.. One of the best bands ever in my opinion. And always sounded good live💪🏻🤘🏻🎸
The Police were the biggest band in the world the first half of the 80s. They literally handed the baton off to U2 at a huge charity gig in 1986
@@007ndc I beg to differ. The biggest band in the world at that time was Queen. Uncontested.
And when they came back in 2007 they aged BUT still sounded amazing!!! Long live the police!!!!

Stewart Copeland just kills it here!!!!
Elevates it more accurately..... The only killing going on is the Egos out of Whack they dropped them off the Tracks..... ❤
I saw them in a bar in the 70's
You gotta love how they walk on stage and one minute later they're playing an incredibly tight song. Sting is all business. What a band.

@@lleblanc2357 i made the sound in this place, for Louis Winsberg ( Jaleo ) in June 2003, it was magic !
Best I've ever heard Stewart by far he was at his peak at this point in time. Unreal drummer he's so damn great in this concert!!
Police are great but Jimi Hendrix Experience says hi.
@@JeffreySykes heehe!
Agree!!!
Watch him on Letterman’s drum solo week…and understand he wrote every note of every instrument played…he was fucking great here……nowhere even near his peak….he just gets better as a musician….year after year.
Stewart is my favourite drummer, largely because he's such a minimalist. He's so damn precise, but makes it look effortless.
I was lucky enough to see The Police on their 2008 reunion tour. To say they were a special band is an understatement.
So did I, unfortunately Andy was really crap and ruined the concert to the point I wanted a refund.
I caught their Seattle show from that tour, and it was incredible. Really enjoyed it.

I went to the Police 1983 concert ❤❤. What a concert. Simply magnificent
oui oui
It must of been INSANE in such a small venue ! ! ! !
I was only 5 years old when this was recorded. I had to wait untill the 2007 Réunion your. 😊
I was thrilled by the album when it first came out -
I still am!
I think Andy Summers' guitar is what makes this band (I love Sting and Stewart is one of my favourite drummers)
you are correct.
Sting and Stewart are pretty tight though?
@@alanrobertson5602 of course! Stewart is one of my favourite drummers 👌

They were all such interesting players they couldn't help but create unique music.
I was there the next day at olympic stadium! Spectrum concert it was live in tv via musique plus & much music
So was I ,Stevie ray vaughan ,Peter Tosh,Talking heads AND the police.What a show!!
What a composer.. sting always created another universe, invited us in and tour guided us through a mansion of familiar furniture to golden rooms and crazy kitchens brewing up soul food and excursions of the mind. A band that was meant to be.
Sting's vocals are unreal...such a unique band...what huge band has no "normal" guitar solos? Copeland was controlled chaos...pure energy...
The BEST ROCK trio in music 🎙🎸🎙🎸🎙🥁

The Police, just like the TV series Fawlty Towers, reached a state of perfection and then just quit; leaving us with gold.

Great music times, nowdays they look even further away. Andy is an amazing guitarist, he should have more credit. Cheers man!
In 1983 itwas the album of the year....!!! So many souvenirs!!!!
Saw them on this tour. One of the best concerts I have seen, even all these years later. They were a tight, passionate band with great songs. Sting had a great voice.
And by now, everyone in this episode is 40 years older... Some are in old folks homes, some dead... That's how fast it goes !
Frightening AF 😢
I'm 62 now lol love Police always have, Sting lived few miles from me when he was born.

No cell phones no attitudes just a bunch of kids having fun.. thank God I remember those days
Interesting because my brother was jumped at the Synchronicity concert
Bull. there were plenty of drugs. I know some who died from them, and yes, they had fun listening to The Police.
I was a senior in high school and saw them on this tour. Good times!
Experienced the Synchronicity Tour in Orlando, FL.
Concert fabuleux au Spectrum de Montréal, production audiovisuelle exceptionnelle, et la touche finale avec cette auditrice de CHOM. Un classique.
What a band !!!
Pure nostalgia!
For a brief, i'd forgotten my age.
The talent that this trio had is something to be recon with.
High quality!!!
Thanks for the journey

great memories of Ingelston Market, Edinburgh 1983.
When they came back to Montreal in 2007 for come back tour at the bell center i got to see them!! AMAZING!!! My number one group!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Copeland was a master of pushing the beat. It gave their music an unmistakable liveliness.
A forward momentum.
It is hard to put into words why some drummers bring bands to another level, Copeland certainly did.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
@joesaxon6566 Then give your cocaine to nowdays drummers, that way maybe they could save music from the sh!t that has become.
Saw them in 83 in KC with Stevie Nicks opening. Amazing.
A formidable band that never goes out of style. Thank you for the film.
brilliant band , all three super talented
Yes very much,but they don't show off and go over the top like some 3 piece's we could mention 😊
Recorded for early Pay TV ("First Choice" Rocks and a Japanese partner) with Blue Peter as the opening act
They were on top of their game in this show and we're just fantastic sounding all around, great great concert for ages,..thanx for sharing this

Yes. I remember the first time I ever saw a clip of them live playing Walking On The Moon. the echo on from the drum sound was magical.
One of the rare times where Sting seems to be in a relatively good mood during a live show! Actually cracked a smile a few times…
Probably because they were playing in a much smaller venue. By this time they were selling out stadiums and arenas everywhere, playing a club like Le Spectrum was probably a nice break from the massive shows.
Stewart Copeland in absolute peak form
And believe it or not, he's still performing exactly like that today, he's a truly master in his art.
so many songs over 150 bpm. Synch 1 200+ bpm. Stewart is great physical shape.
I saw them three months later in November '83. It was great!

Stewart!!!!!!! What a legend.
Jesus Christ what a treat! Very nostalgic
Can't believe this is 40 years ago!
Synchronicity Amazing tour!!
Police are one of very few bands who “batted 1000”, meaning they were 5 for 5; each one of their albums was fantastic.
You must be a real fanatic, as I doubt even the band would claim that. Lots of filler tracks on every Police album.
@@musicandfilms9956 wrong. Only one bad/filler song, “Mother”
The Other Way of Stopping? Be My Girl - Sally? Just a couple of additional fillers (and I'm a Police fan-atic since 1983).🤨
Every little thing they did was magic.
@@rossydvI love Mother! 😂
Perfect musical simplicity!
Sting counting how many people in the beginning as the producers were afraid there wasn't going to be enough people as it was a secret surprise show!
After The Beatles, The Police was the most great band in history of pop-rock music.
Wrong way around pal.
Agree with Rodrigo.
Beatles and Police are totally different species in every way, it's like saying "after apples orange are the best"; a total non-sensical comparison.
Queen better than the Beatles I think you'll find
I think they different styles and contents; in that level I think the word "better" add up, they're all great in their respective arts. Now if you use "better" but in comparison with nowadays music, I take it.
Sooooooo good. Grew up obsessed with this album, learned to so much musically.
I swear some of those crowd shots were inserted into their Atlanta show video. I recognized that guy from the opening tune. I mean, unless he followed them to Atlanta and did the exact same facial expressions.
As others have commented, many audience shots are identical. Which from which show?
Just goes to show, don't believe everything you see!
Damn, I knew Stuart was good, but this is amazing!!! 😍

they usually have a few backstagers helping
What a find! My favorite group growing up.
The audience shots are the same as the other Syncronicity concert! great show!
Wait, what?
_falls in the live Police’s videos rabbit hole._
This was a dress rehearsal show for Godley and Cream going into filming the Atlanta show that was used for the Synchronicity Concert video.

Quand un extraterrestre ( Sting ) decide de descendre sur terre , rencontre deux génies et décident de jouer de la musique ensemble cela donne le groupe Police..un des plus grands groupes de l'histoire du rock...jai vu ce concert en France en 1983 j'avais 16 ans .. énorme souvenir..jai toujours leur 5 albums..mes idoles pour l'éternitée ♥️🎸🇲🇫
