- Sting and his 'Blue Turtles' play "I Burn For You" live in Paris (new HQ audio), 1985. Great song and fantastic band, especially Omar Hakim on drums!
DESCLAIMER: I do not own the rights of this video. This is just an ex-fan's homage!
STILL one of the sickest drum solos of all time. 🤯🔥🔥🔥A drum solo with the band. That's some African bush holy trance. Branford is giving me baby Coltrane. That bassline. Kenny on them keys. The nasty, slow burn of this song. Sting is a bad man for getting these musicians 👏👏One of my fav Sting joints.🔥🔥🔥 I love every version.
No doubt...whew!
I feel your comment brutha
Am I the only one who cries when they see this drum solo???and I can really play dem drums!!!!
Damn, this just never gets old...Omar Hakim is f**king awsome.
Goosebumps, enlightenment & tears
Kenny watching Omar in total disbelief of what he's witnessing, amazing.
Kenny realizes that Omar just went orbital and didn’t want to miss it.
There are a lot of great drummers out there... But in this moment live... Omar Hakim created one of the greatest drum solos ever... MASTERPIECE 💎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I have watched this over 100 times probably and I have the video even and I STILL will watch it on You Tube... Goosebumps the sh&t out of me EVERY time.
As much as I love Sting, its Omar that brings me back to this over and over.
I love Sting in my soul, but it is Omar that brings me back to this. Its just normal. Life. This was a moment I cannot explain in Human existence. This was Omar's moment. It is pure and true.
Omar Hakim! That solo man! I’m with you! The movie was good too!
Agreed...I can't get enough of it!
I saw Omar with sting( first tour) best drummer i have ever seen
I remember watching this documentary for the first time on VHS. Yes, VHS, remember those things??? Lol!! I was just blown away at Omar's incredible drumming. I started drum lessons mainly because of him, and still play. After 30 years of playing drums, I STILL HAVE NOOO DAMN IDEA WHAT OMAR IS FREAKING DOING!!!
That is literally the same thing that happened to me. Sounds like about at the same time too! Nuts! From this exact song. Couldn’t fight the feeling.
John Coltrane talked about this level of playing, long after music education had been completed, after countless hours of practice, thousands of jigs, where you could just shut your conscious mind off and solo without thinking about it. You can be sure Omar was thinking in terms of staffs and measures and notes even though all that was perfect for him.
@@alexbaum2204 I went on to buy the dvd and Blu-ray of this!!! I’m 46 now, and I’m STILL trying to figure out what he’s doing!!!
@@LotusPhotoStudios I hate to take the romanticism out of it, but I’m hearing a lot of rudiments in what he’s doing. It’s just at a super fast tempo. Nuanced accents and dynamics. Completely in control. He’s a true artist.
Bring On The Night. It documented Stings first solo tour in 1985 and the birth of his first child with his future wife Trudy Styler.
I remember seeing this back in the 80's and being blown away and then here comes Omar Hakim with the most powerful "Give the drummer some" moments I have ever seen. Even the late Kenny Kirkland can be seen chuckling. OH absolutely assaulted the skins in a crescendo of pure power that was also graceful.
I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO PLAY DRUMS LIKE OMAR HAKIM!!! HE'S LITERALLY ONE OF THE GREATEST DRUMMERS OF ALL TIME!!!
The greatest drum solo of all time. Period.
It's not actually a solo, bcuz the other band members are playing too, but they REALLY need bees to STOP.....and let Omar do his thing......ALONE!!!
I have this on VHS. As a lifelong drummer I remember sitting with my dad when I saw this at 11 years old watching over and over loving the performance of this concert but this song in particular
I know of not many drummers, but once I met Hakim, he was all that I needed to know.
Omar and Marseilles and Sting....I cry everytime I watch this. Gonna jam drums tomorrow with as much passion as I can muster!🙌🎶❤
Everytime I watch this clip....(and I have watched it too many times to count), I shed tears at the end of Omar Hakim's solo!! Thank you Omar!! That drum solo and your performance on the entire gig will surely live beyond your days!! SAVAGE!!!
Omar Hakim is one of most important modern drummer and this solo in "I burn for you" remains historical ..of course!
He "bewitched" many drummers (and other musicians) in the world.. amazing drumming!
Omar and Branford are just unreal dudes. They were the core of Sting's premier years and the staple of that era. Just mesmerizing levels of music from both of them.
In this one song Omar is the man!!!
@@gibrancaballero, yes, you ain't lying but Branford's contribution was sublime as well. I am no musician but the connection between them is awe-inspiring. A lot of drum solos can get boring and static...this one pushes Omar to the fore but all the other bandmembers and singers stay connected and contribute to it in every measure.
And Kenny Kirkland...and Darryl Jones...too...
i remember seeing this sting tape (vhs) in high school, this song and omar completely blew me away, i think i broke the tape rewinding and watching so many times
I love Sting but I just watch this video for Omar!
✊🏿
I dunno how many time i have watched this particularly for the solo, maybe 30-40 times. Just got goosebumps again
Omar. Beast.
Good Lawd ! That drum solo still kicks my ass everytime.
This is truly a perfect love song.
I totally miss the late 80's into the early 90's. Music was a continuous epiphany.
well in the 80s coming from hair bands and then going to see this live...and me being a drummer...i lost all respect for metal drummers at the time.......this just blew me away and have always been inspired by Mr Omar Hakim
TRUTH!! I saw a live drum clinic with Omar Hakim & it was unreal!!
There are only 2 drummers alive, I know of, that can play with ANY band and take that band to a whole other level.... Omar is one of them. He is an Orchestrational Genius.
who is the other?
Vinnie Colaiuta, maybe?
I would say either Copeland or Peart as the other.
The other would have to be Simon Phillips…
@@jackhammer_au9961 good call. Simon’s work with The Who was phenomenal
I wore the video out. Love it. Omar Hakim one of my 1st inspirations.
Glad to say I saw this band configuration at the NEC Birmingham I think in 1982, completely memorable incredible gig, and this song a highlight of the night. Hakim at his flying best, just such a spectacle of cool.
I saw Weather Report live in 1983, Hakim was the drummer and he made a "call and answer" solo with Zawinul that left me speechless...
Not taking anything away from Sting, but he was hanging with some seriously great musicians here!
That was his genius , bringing the best!
@@gibrancaballeroAnd giving them the vehicle!
Never gets old is right
0:39 Love how Sting looks over that little girl. The look on her face is absolutely priceless!!
Every week I come back to this video. Before youtube I would watch my vhs copy of this every other day... I still get goosebumps and emotional when the crowd stands up applauds for omar during his solo. Godly it is.
Thank you!
At 54 years of age, I can watch/listen to this every day for the rest of my life and never tire of it if God allows me to live to 100. This was an awesome documentary, this was an unbelievably awesome song and Sting's first solo album was an absolutely awesome collection of talent, making an awesome contribution to music and life.
I own the DVD. I have seen this song a million times, and I get hard nipples each time. Never gets old. Undoubtedly the greatest band, talent-wise, in the history of rock.
Omar Hakim is incredible love this song
Its been so many years over seeing this over and over. Omar, I will NEVER get enough of watching this. Your rays blotted out the sun. How can that be? How small the rest of us...
Omar just rules. My god. I remember actually seeing this show in 85 in Berkeley and being totally stunned by him on this song (not to mention the whole show).
remember watching this in like 1988 when I rented the movie... still blown away by the drumming...
If this is Bercy, I was at this performance! I recall Omar being upstage right and elevated, and his solo on this song is what I remember most. Was an amazing performance! I do not remember seeing those upper seats, though :(
For me Sting gathered the best musicians ever played with him in this era... ufff
Just check this out...
I saw this show in Brighton uk,I forgot how good it is.omar hakim!!!
Damn! STING SHOULD HAVE KEPT "THIS" BAND TOGETHER!!!
Michael Dean this band are too good for Sting - they wouldn’t stay around to play his drivel for much longer.
@@carygson or deal with his shit.
I went to see Sting live for his Nothing Like the Sun tour because of this video and hoping Omar was playing with him. He wasn't and they didn't play this song which was sad, but I got to see Kenny Kirkland and Branford and I think Manu Katche was playing for Sting then and it was still an amazing show. NO regrets but this Omar solo is an absolute pinnacle of Sting's live solo work.
@@carygson Just a loud though, Martin. It could've been Lawrence Welk in the video, I'd said the same thing. Just an expression after really focusing on the musicianship. But, you're right. The level these cats are on, they wouldn't stay too creative engaged after, maybe, a tour or two. (R.I.P., Kenny. )
God bless you all, amazing!!!
Sting, Omar Hakim, Branford and KENNY
Never get tired of seeing this Omar the beast
I love this song, can listen to it over and over !!! 💜💜💜
I could and would, listen to any song Omar played drums on.
I was at that tour 85 in Hamburg. I remember Omar had another solo. Sting was watching it from the side, shook his head in disbelief. A solo on a its own level. Never forget this excellent concert which was one of the best ever in my life
Perfection... Nuff said...
This is still so inspiring Omar !!
Chills up & down spine.
Omar SMASHED IT!! Awesome.
Sweet memories...
Omar is amazing.
awesome!!!!!!!!
This is one of the best drum solo I've seen in my life,GREAT....
Burning!
THIS is the version that should be on the CD!!!! It would be fabulous to release this audio track for Spotify etc. One of my absolute favourite solos ever. It's graceful, technical, and with so much heart. Omar is so kind. At a drum clinic years ago, I took my djembe (Other than the shell already being carved from Ghana - I put on the goat skin, shaved it, tuned it etc). I wondered if he might sign my drum. He said "of course, but would you mind if I played it first?". Would I mind?!! Such a great experience.
I've seen this a number of times and it's every bit as passionate and moving as the first time back in the late 80's. An absolute gem.
Omar was working on that! Beautiful...
I saw that live lads in Montréal.in 85..for a teen it was greeeattttt
Mr Omar Hakim
The wonder Man...
-"Dad, why is my sister's name Rose?"
-"Because, your mother loves roses."
-"Thanks, Dad."
-"No problem, I Burn for You's Drum Solo."
Was there for one of these 85 gigs... 2nd year at Uni. Birmingham NEC. Incredible. Till then not really heard of Omar. Never forgot. Marselis wasn't bad neither.
Maestro Hakim :)
Brandford was killing it too and will take any Jazz drummer like Hakim any day of the week as his chops are off the chart
Them together....omg
OMAR!!!!
That hi hat is begging for mercy!
I searched "sting live omar hakim" and found this. Great minds think alike, Thank you ror noting omar hakim!
OMAR HAKEEEEEEEEM! Note to producer: why were any cameras focused on anyone other than OH in this number?
OMAR!!!!!!!! BRANFORD!!!!!!
Geeeezus Christ !
Woah !
OMAR HAKIM!
Omar!
0:36 "You and I are lovers" - he looks directly at that girl, and you can almost see her heart jump out of her chest.
Omar. Omar. Omar.
Anni indimenticabili
Omar............
Sorry Sting, Branford, Kenny, Dollette, Janice, But Omar stole that and the crowd from that moment, understood the solo Sting.
🔝🙌🏻👊🏿
Omar.....
I've been watching this vid since I had it on VHS in 1986 and I still can't figure out WTF Omar is playing and I used to be a semi-professional drummer.
I really think, he’s not “thinking “ he’s letting it flow!
@@gibrancaballero nah, he's got his licks worked out and dialed in, there's no wingin' it here.
Thought it was John Farnham's song. This is jazz
What kind of ride cymbal and hi hats does he used here???
#omarhakim #onecoolcat
Omar carried the “weight “ of the song…
Jijitally Remastered ?
Yeah, "Jiji" is my nickname and since I remastered the audio of this clip, it's "Jijitally remastered". ;-)
DVD版は音が硬くてミュートされたようで良くない。VHSビデオの方が遥かに生きた音がしてた。
スティングのベースが聞こえないのは私だけですか？
Am I only person cannot catch Sting’s base? I believe that base is played by Daryl.
How nasty is 2:10
You're right. There is a sort of "cut and paste" in there.
Burning!
Sorry Sting, Branford, Kenny, Dollette, Janice, But Omar stole that and the crowd from that moment, understood the solo Sting.
The genius of Sting was to ensamble this band…
