    Absolutely the greatest live performance band ever.
    You could see 10 shows on the same circuit and never hear the same version of a song twice.

    • @DrGray_Drummer
      @DrGray_Drummer Год назад +1

      I completely agree. I don't think Stewart Copeland could play a song the same way twice if he wanted? He's just groovin', busy and at the same time playing for the music. The only other drummer I've seen play like that was Bonham. It's amazing how Copeland and the Police fooled the masses into believing they were playing "Pop" music.

    FYYC, I'm an avid, Dutch fan of The Police and saw them for the first time back in 1978, in Amsterdam. At that time I started to play drums and so, like every starting musician, I was looking for examples and inspiration. Then there was Stewart Copeland playing at The MilkyWay in Amsterdam and my faith was sealed. This was the man to follow! Still nowadays, I'm always scanning RUclips for TBTBWY-live versions and especcially because of those jamming/improvisation parts. I'm always mesmerized, almost hypnotized because of those magical moments. Such chemistry, so well gelled, they feel and communicating with eachother in such a wonderful way musically during those moments. This mix is awesome and yes, bring the 33 minutes version on!

    • @fyyc

    • @dynjarren7523
      @dynjarren7523 2 месяца назад +1

      I too have always listened for their incredible improvisation in the middle of songs how they jam and expand the musical ideas. Absolutely brilliant how they do that! Because they jelled together and have good musical chemistry.
      The two other bands that did this well were the Doors and Led Zeppelin! Both would expand their songs by adding a Jazz like improvisation in between the Chorus or Verses and then return to the main themes afterwards. It takes skill to do this as well as chemistry!
      Thanks for everything you do!

    Andy was never known for blistering solos, but the sounds, vibes, and moods he could get out of his guitar were so mentally and spiritually transporting - especially when he was allowed to let loose in concert like he does here.
    I really enjoy his guitar work on live versions of 'Walking in Your Footsteps' from the '83 '84 Synchronicity tour

      Well, not sure I fully understand your question. As I wrote: most of the audio used is not captured on film, so what you hear is (mostly) not what you see. This applies to all audio, except for the Rockpalast performance. So it was quite a puzzle to produce a matching video... hope you liked it, though.
