- The Police playing live in Japan, Kyoto, University West Auditorium on 1980.02.20 during their around the world tour.
The Police:
Sting - lead vocals, bass guitar;
Andy Summers - guitar, backing vocals;
Stewart Copeland - drums, backing vocals
I was there! I remember every single moment in that venue. The next day of the gig, I came across the members in front of the gate of Kyoto bullet train station while I was on my way home from school. I got Andy's and Stewart's autographs and exchanged my school pin with their Police pins. That was a fantastic memory.
That's an incredible story. Thank you for sharing!
Lucky you ! Thank you for your related story 👍(you could attach some pics of your meeting)
I envy you! 😄😄
So rad you got to meet Andy. He’s one of my favorite rhythm players of all time.
Woo!
A bass player, a guitarist and a drummer to keep the beat. It’s all you need to make great music. How refreshing.
Welcome to the Stewart Copeland show...
Yawn!
Yup. Definitely the Copeland show. He's a beautiful freak of nature!
Copeland's reggae crossover drumming technique is mesmerising in this track! Genius!!!
On the top of Mars
one of the best bands in history
The best rendition of the song ever.
That is the song that really saves people.......
THE POLICE EST UNE LEGENDE MUSICALE.
what a genius combination ! ----- the drummer is quite impressive ------
the bass is excellent!
Back when some bands actually deserved fan hysteria.
So fucking true
Stuart is an absolute animal
Another kick ass and take names creation How i wish we could be back in that time!
For sure
The Sum of 3 Great Musicians = Excellent Performance!
great crowd
Stewart would just take over their sound.
This is being remasterd ! hope they release this on bluray and not just DVD
I hope to see one day the complet version concert video of the walking on the moon of that time, without comments..
Best version of this song . Wish they had made it like this for the album
OMG REMEMMEEMMBB ! THE POLICE FOREVERŔRR
... also Kyoto Kaikan, early 1980,...Great Show... had the Pleasure...
Crazy drums...
too dope
Goode for Andy.
Looks Fun!
Do you think the Yakuza likes the Police?
Westerners' tours are always best when in Japan
Sting starting off a sumo wrestling bout....Classic.
Is Stewart human??????
Interesting comment. He is a bit surreal. I've played drums and what he does is quite amazing. He plays rhythms within rhythms. Very very few drummers can do what he does. He's driving the beat, while offering a counter-melody.
+Mark ONeill He also puts the groove to the forefront of his playing
definitely not
I have never heard anything as amazing as Copeland's drumming on this song. Just blows me away every time.
Pretty sure he's an aardvark or maybe a lemur or lemur-aardvark hybrid... This is what the signs are pointing at, anyhow.
Has to the rowdiest I've ever seen a Japanese crowd 😂 awesome 👍
I want a time machine
Guess they were big in Japan?
BOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!
?
Copeland going to work
Was that a young Kim Jong-un in the grey jogging suit?

結構 ステージにあがるくらい 荒れてたんだ
京都で以外
Ibanez Musician!!!
Just K : yes, but the sound you ear here is not the ibanez track. That' s the next day sound with double bass. . There were two videos with different recording sound at this time.
日本にもモッズなんていたんだな
merde j y etais pas
What is going on with Stings voice here though?
Wondering the same thing. He's either singing along with a backing tape (unlikely, unless he was willing to sing the song exactly the same way every night--unlikely, because Sting) OR they had some kind of fancy studio device like an Eventide harmonizer capable of simulating a doubled vocal in realtime. Would've been expensive to tour with but not unheard of.
Only other possibility--and now that I think of it, the most likely scenario--is simply adding things to the sound in post-production. That was really common, especially with "live" albums. Many of the great live records are not as live as the bands would've had us believe.
@@NikFarr Go watch The Police In The East. 1980. BBC Documentary ( around 14:31)
Thats a cleaner version.I think they post edited stings voice and andy delay/flanger to create more space
@@Spartyculo It's funny, in the year since posting this reply I've seen a lot of raw, un-official clips of the Police playing live. And I've realized that ANY live footage that was released in even a semi-official capacity had a fair amount of work done to it in the studio in terms of audio post-production.
In the case of the Police Around the World, the documentary from which this clip is taken, that mainly meant the addition of vocal overdubs. I think what we're hearing is a combination of the original vocal recording from the live performance and a studio double and harmony track, each of which have a very slight echo effect added.
@@NikFarr they really spent a lot of time on marketing and image,thats all im starting to understand now. Id appreciate more raw material of the early days
@@Spartyculo Yeah, they sure did! It's really sly how they did it, though. Obviously some people saw through it at the time. But right up until 1982, they managed to maintain the illusion of being a scrappy DIY-type of band (at least to most of the outside world). That in itself is kind of impressive.
For a much-less polished performance, I'd recommend the Rockpalast appearance (ua-cam.com/video/F4VjsqR5Vbc/v-deo.html). Or for a more polished performance but without any post-production added to the audio, the Gateshead (ua-cam.com/video/RgE6F-Aj1PY/v-deo.html) concert is really revealing.
京大
Sounds like tin cans for speakers.
ステージに上がって抱きついたりしてる人達、同じ日本人として恥ずかし過ぎ⤵︎⤵︎⤵︎
楽しんでもらえた？ようではあるので良かった、日本を嫌いにならなくて本当に良かった
おおきに(ookini)🙏

Possibly thee worst audio on YT.
Quite a claim. Totally inaccurate, of course.
What the hell is going on with the sound in this video? It’s god awful.
