😀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..
40 years later, this album still holds up. Oh to be 14 again and cranking it all summer long on my boombox.
Come on! Be 14 again every once in a while! 😊👍
Same here.
@@ronaran8420 ha ha ha you are right!
@@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.
40 year box set coming out soon!
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.
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.
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
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.
icl steward copeland andy summers
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!
well said. everything is fleeting.
@@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.
Stewart Copeland is my drum God! Never get enough of him!
YES. STEWART FOR EVER ...!!!!GOD!!!!!@
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!!!!
@@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.
Yeah, no argument from me here. But the U.S. is not the world, even though some people from there seem to believe so. ;)@@mancuniancandidatem
Its a time machine , I am a teenager again.
Thanks so much.
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.
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.
Holy crap Sting’s voice is amazing here.
Well, he was only 32 here.
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 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.
@@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! . .
To me it was more Sting that ruined it. He just could not stick to the melody.
Ihr seit Dummschwätzer....
The Police, just like the TV series Fawlty Towers, reached a state of perfection and then just quit; leaving us with gold.
I love The Police . One of the best bands ever.
@Anne Woodward You trolling everyone? Let people like what they like.
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. 😊
Sting's vocals are unreal...such a unique band...what huge band has no "normal" guitar solos? Copeland was controlled chaos...pure energy...
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
That is unheard of today . How great a free concert with the police!!!
I was there.
I loved Le Spectrum. very cool concerts in a magical space...I bet the artists who played it remember it well.
@@lleblanc2357 i made the sound in this place, for Louis Winsberg ( Jaleo ) in June 2003, it was magic !
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 👌
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.
They were all such interesting players they couldn't help but create unique music.
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!!!
Glad you're enjoying this one, thank you for stopping by!
Simple minds canceled James Brown filled in he was better than all of them
Stingo: Plays the bass and Taurus and sings at the same time. His voice is like a siren that doesn’t lose a bit from studio to stage.
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.)
I saw them in a bar in the 70's
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.
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!
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.
Stewart Copeland is the greatest drummer.
Wrong!
Bill Bruford is the man.
@@ricardooliva4034 Well! Their are many drummer that you can say are the greatest. But I do agree that Bruford are better then Copeland
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.
Let the world to be, state your own thing without messing with others words and thoughts. Cheers.
@@morbidmanmusic you say all this and not even offer a name for rubuttal. But yet you "restate" my thoughts. Lol.
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
Music has the ability to take you back in time.
My god, to think that Rolling Stone rated Andy Summers at #250 in their last compilation of the 250 best guitarists of all time. What wankers, Andy Summers is a feckin genius. They're all pretty damn good, for that matter.
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!!
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........
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
Great music times, nowdays they look even further away. Andy is an amazing guitarist, he should have more credit. Cheers man!
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
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.
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 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'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.
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 ♥️🎸🇲🇫
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.
The Police and Rush , the BEST three piece bands EVER!!
Cream?
@@jakubbielak7273 ELP?
Hüsker Dü (Nirvana doesn't exist without them), Cream , ZZ Top
Brmc
Police is Police
A week later they sold out Shea Stadium and they said to each other, “It doesn’t get any bigger than this”. And Sting decided on that night that it was over for him in the Police after the tour ended.
And I was there that night!
@@marcsaunders8599 Me too!
And Philly and Atlantic City. ❤️
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.
Concert fabuleux au Spectrum de Montréal, production audiovisuelle exceptionnelle, et la touche finale avec cette auditrice de CHOM. Un classique.
Obi Wan, the force was strong with these ones!
Damn, I knew Stuart was good, but this is amazing!!! 😍
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!
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.
Thank you for posting. I have never watched the full Montreal show. It’s quite an entertaining counterpoint to the Atlanta video, which obviously went through extensive post-production and dubbing. I really enjoyed the rawness of Montreal- classic Police live power. I know the Police were not happy with this performance, and that’s why they recorded Atlanta. I can hear the mix is dodgy, at times. It would be interesting to know if this video was a rough cut that was never finished. Anyway, thank you. I feel like I watched a new Police release. I just wish Sting would cut the BS and just give us another magical Police album.
A formidable band that never goes out of style. Thank you for the film.
Sooooooo good. Grew up obsessed with this album, learned to so much musically.
LOVE "EM BOTH!...I'm inclined to say, FOUR-WAY TIE between The Police, Rush, Cream & The Jimi Hendrix Experience!
ALL. PURE. CLASS.
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! 😂
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.
Copeland on Message in a Bottle is a mind-blowing driving force.
Peak of their powers. Saw this show at the Orange Bowl in Miami. Amazing! The Fixx and The Animals opened. Fantastic too.
He drum s like jazz musically trained wow!?!
He is mate 👍
I was a senior in high school and saw them on this tour. Good times!
In 1983 itwas the album of the year....!!! So many souvenirs!!!!
Fantastic❤️❤️👍👍👍my first concert 1983 in France...57 years today Always Police fan 😀🇲🇫🎸
Thanks for putting this up, the police are my favourite band
Same here! Police was my first favourite band! Thanks for the visit and comment!
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?
It must be some kind of fill used by original editor.
Perfect musical simplicity!
Sadly on that night at the SPECTRUM i wasn't there shocks the POLICE were 3 on stage and sounded like 13 now that's a BAND ❤❤😊😊jpp Québec city
they usually have a few backstagers helping
Sting really flourished as a solo artist
so many songs over 150 bpm. Synch 1 200+ bpm. Stewart is great physical shape.
What a band !!!
The women in Montreal are amazing
Saw this tour in Baton Rouge, LA; it was amazing! The speakers were so powerful I could feel my internal organs bouncing around inside of me.
😀💜👍....Thanx 💕for the "get me through Monday " Muzik ....xx ~M (Waiting for some RUSH )🙏
@@micheldaubigne7629 Take note of that, thank you so much for your kind words Michèle!
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 !!!… ❤️❤️💕❤️💕❤️
See kids, THIS is what a LIVE CONCERT looks and sounds like - NOT the talentless, autotuned, mimed excrement that's everywhere today !!!
Couldn't agree more!
Thanks dad. But how come grandpa says only crappy 80 bands would ever use prerecorded vocal tracks on the synchronicity chorus and all real music died with frank sinatra?
@tombiby5892 Prerecorded? Looks like you didn't watched the video very well, and you missed the three backing singers in the rear of the stage.
@@tombiby5892 Yes son, as you know, we had recording technology going waay back...and which guitarist had a huge influence here?
Thus, the ability to perform to a backing track was always available, and in some TV airings, the production crew had no way to incorporate a live band, so they used backing tracks. This has never been in contention.
The difference between today and then is that in the past, well over 99.999% of ALL live music was...completely(!!) LIVE, and today, almost 100% of every live concert will have pre-recorded elements - and in many, MANY cases, every 'live' musician will be miming. Throw in autotuning(Melodyne) vocals + instruments into virtually every recording (and mime act) and you have a population for over 20 years who has been increasingly indoctrinated into accepting this excrement.
--> Music as an Art is, 100%, dying !!!
That, son, is where we stand today ;)
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
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.
Copeland was an outright beast on the drums
He still is. - check out Gizmodrome.
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!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
There is no mystery here, it is just one bloody great song after the other non stop, very hard to match.
Synchronicity Amazing tour!!
Great post! Thank you! I had this concert on VHS tape (taped off of a local TV broadcast) and watched it so many times! If I remember correctly, the Spectrum concert was a warm up to their Montreal Olympic Stadium concert which was on the next night after this one. I believe this Spectrum concert was a surprise / last minute concert.
Same for me !
I was at the Olympic Stadium show and all 4 bands were awesome!
Saw The Police in 1980 after their 2nd album and i thought they were at their peak then.
Was a fantastic show in Sydney.
They far more raw than their bigger commercial albums that came later.
to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and/or PROBABLY will really LOVE the police
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.
Yes, great club. A shame it was torn down a few years ago. I saw Miles Davis there in 1990.
That video crew had a good director. Great collection of shots & effects.
Un concierto espectacular, aquí esta la mejor interpretación en vivo de “Synchronicity II”.
Thank you for sharing!! Great show, great album, great three-piece!
Recorded for early Pay TV ("First Choice" Rocks and a Japanese partner) with Blue Peter as the opening act
Can't believe this is 40 years ago!
Ya había comentado en este video, pero había olvidado agradecerte por tan maravilloso aporte, esto es una reliquia, ya que eres el único en haberlo subido, eres mi maldito héroe, ¡Espectacular!
Me alegro que lo estés disfrutando, en cualquier momento publicaré otra versión de este mismo video que remastericé especialmente. Saludos y gracias por el comentario.
@@TheForce_Productions Estaré al pendiente, nuevo suscriptor, un millón de gracias.
Gracias a vos por el interés y el apoyo!
Thanks for the post!
FINEST BANK OVER MANY DECADES, I CANNOT NAME A BETTER GROUP. VERY TALENTED AND SUPER NICE PEOPLE - LOVE THE LYRICS, MUSIC, ATTITUDE, I MUST HEAR THEM EVERY DAY. JUST AMAZING TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY UNDERSTANDABLE FANTSTIC MUSIC FOR SO MANY YEARS. THE VERY BEST OF THE BEST.
FINEST BAND.... NOT THE BEST TYPIST, BUT I AM GREAT AT CHOOSING AWESOME MUSIC. TIMELESS, KEEPS ME YOUNG AND HAPPY.
The Police the best band ever!!!
I remember missing this on tv and DESPERATELY hoping it to rerun.
I was at the show the next day at the Olympic stadium which also included SRV, Peter Tosh and Talking Heads.
You sure Stevie Ray played that day???
@@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
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 😊
Jesus Christ what a treat! Very nostalgic
Saw them in Edmonton, AB on this tour. Unreal and loud!! Best concert ever. Taped this version off CBC onto beta and played it a zillion times. Often wonder who the mystery bearded guy with the knapsack was lol Looked like he was enjoying the show
That's the Devil! He's also on Van Halen's Live Without a Net.
Why is this not an official release it’s bloody awesome probs was a laser disc in Japan at some stage
I saw this tour a month earlier in Chicago, outdoors at the old Comiskey Park. Full day line up, Ministry, The Fixx, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Flock of Seagulls and The Police. Arrived late... missed Ministry and The Fixx (was bummed!) Joan Jett got pelted with trash from the crowd and cut her set early, flipping off the crowd as she left the stage. I always felt bad for her - they didn't deserve it. A Flock of Seagulls went on and the crowd went wild! Then the Police went on, and they were fantastic! Oh, to be young again...
Joan Jett sucks. Lol.
that was the time of the police ,and sting best of all my evrytime favorite style/album
Thanks for posting. I had no idea this existed. ❤
