    The song with one riff, with no traditional structure, also Copeland's most straight performance devoid of fills & accents, all capped off with Summers' scorching one note guitar solo. How The Police could turn such a basic concept into a complex work of art was part of their genius.

      It's one of my favourite tracks by them. There's something in it's relative simplicity that hooks me every time I hear it. Then there's the live sequence in the middle of this video where Stewart and Sting's playing gives it a whole new dimension.

    I’ve probably watched Police Around The World a thousand times since it came out.
    That part where Sting and Stewart are locked with Sting riffing high on the neck and then Andy’s long 16th note single string scream bringing the whole groove back still blows my fucking mind. One of the best live recordings of all time. Long live The Police.

    Nice video...thanks for uploading..unfortunately for me, this tour, off of what I think is my favorite of any album of all time, ghosts, had way too much up-tempo, sting improv Rearrangements of such great songs, it was actually a very difficult concert to listen to. The horns, that were so great on the album were really awful. Almost every song they played sounded different from the studio recording. I get that artist s get bored, but people don’t pay to hear completely different variants of their favorite songs. They got slightly back on track with the synchronicity tour, probably because of all the negative feedback. And unfortunately they were completely different for the reunion. Favorite band of all time and there are some really fantastic early live performances....for those who felt they weren’t really a good live band, well that was not the case. There early stuff is dazzling with each of them unbelievably talented in their own way and as a trio, magical. Unfortunately we never got to hear some of the most interesting tracks from ghost, Omegaman, darkness, etc. live.
