      they had the stove on HIGH & BROIL w/ this LIVE version. cooking up some serious funk; this is how u take a great track and make it... groovier w/ REAL instruments, a lost art on pop radio now: 0 drums or basslines or lead guitars... a shame: there was a time bands combined instruments w/ keyboards, but not anymore; this is the video u show those who don't know any better what REAL Rock & Funk is all about

      Are you kidding me?? Stewart never plays the same thing exactly as before because he has to keep up with the quality of declining vocals. And Sting? In tune? Have you not heard this song sung in the 1980's? It kicked ass in that era. Sometimes things are best laid to rest. Get the album out instead.

      This is how u expand a song, and give it Extra Groove w/ a lead guitar fueling the funk; it's a stunning revision of the Studio track; young artists, particularly in pop music, have no clue or ambition to make music w/ a real instrument approach; it's all 2 programmed & homogenized now, versus the "Prog" rock / funk/ New Wave bands that could COMBINE keyboards & Synthesizers w/ the instruments ; when's the last time u heard a Top 40 type song on the radio w/ REAL drums; or basslines ?
