The Police - Bring On The Nigt (live in Paris '79) 

Is there anyone listening to this extraordinary song in 2024?

There will never be another band like The Police. Only Stewart ,Sting, and Andy could create that music.

Love Stewart and Sting, but I've always especially admired Andy Summers. There's a HUGE amount of space in a trio for a guitarist to use, and Andy - like Alex in Rush - always put exactly the right amount of subtly blended stuff in precisely the right spot to make the songs work. Clever guy. 🙂

It's no mystery as to why the Police became a worldwide phenomena, touring and playing in nearly every corner of the globe for the five or so years they were together; three talented musicians, each one bringing their unique gifts to each and every tune. They are a master class in how a trio works best ~ great songs, brilliantly arranged, with enough movement and space for the music to really breathe. The Police were a beautiful blend of rock, pop and reggae with jazz sensibilities tying it all together.

Stewart Copeland - one of the most unusual and interesting drummers to watch play

Love Copeland's playing. It's so unique, different, recognizable and musical. One of the finest drummers ever.

In this band everybody was special. Copeland,Summers,And Sting . This whole music worked only this way

Andy Summers chorus still gives me chills

Andy Summers is possibly the most underrated guitarist in rock history. Not sure why. Maybe because Sting carved out a hugely successful solo career and Andy just wanted to play. Whatever, he is up there with greats imho.

Ah, when real musicians made music. Superb.

I absolutely love this song. One of The Police's best. All the parts are extremely well thought out. That guitar part is pure genius, the reggae drum part, the jumpy bass line, and on top Sting's marvellous vocals.

COPELAND, COPELAND, COPELAND. OH YEAH COPELAND.

Possibly my favourite ever Police song!?😮👍

The police is one of those bands where you take one member and everything falls apart. Andy, Sting and Stewart are all key members of the band. They're all amazing and I'm so glad my dad introduced me to The Police when I was a child. I absolutely love this band.

Andy Summers is truly a great great guitarist, a real musician, playing guitar is not about plying fast and fancy riffs though Andy can do that, its about creating music that resonates with the listeners soul. No one can do that as well as Andy, thanks for the music and happiness and joy you have brought to so many people. xxx.

So much talent on one stage

This is what happens when you get 3 of the most talented people together in a band. The odds of that happening are 1 in a million, especially today.

Stewart Copeland probably had the best Hi-Hat cymbals in the history of drums from Regatta to half way into Ghost.

I love Stewart's get-up--Mickey Mouse t shirt, short shorts, and tube socks. It all suits his style of playing. This their best live version of this song.

Police was great because of the freaking economy of means - just 3 young dudes, each with their incredible unique sound, pulling out all the stops. No slick session musicians, no studio tricks, no studied crossover schmaltz. Just rock n' roll - of a new kind.

I was 12 years old when Regatta de Blanc was released- I bought it on cassette tape and loved it to bits - this song being one of my favourites . Impressed with my taste now I’m 51 . What a great band.

The drumming The drumming The drumming. No wonder many of the worlds finest Jazz drummers hold Copeland in such high esteem for his "rock drumming" . It takes great musicians to carry off very successful Trio's. No keyboards or Brass section to hide behind with 3 up

Even if Sting had a bad night with his voice, It didn't matter. It didn't fucking matter. That's one of the reasons why I admire him.

Sting singing while playing a fretless bass so cool

In the presence of Sing and Stewart Andy tends to disappear, but make no mistake, he is the glue that holds them together!

That voice, so raw and beautiful at the same time. Then the songs, the drummer, the guitarist, the bassist, the whole package. The Police changed the way I thought about music and it was all for the better.

Andy starting at 3:06 woooshhhhhh! and plays the most beautiful chromatic chords after 3:45 - and the audience seems asleep! Stewart playing the hell out of the drums - one of the best live bands ever around!

I was at that concert, 40 years ago (sigh)

there are high mountains, and then there is the mount everest; there are great bands and then there is the police.

FmeR...just seeing "79" makes me sad but lovingly nostalgic at the same time!

Sting lucked out with Andy and Stewart. One of the best guitarists ever plus a drummer who was one of the ten best of all time.

One of their best songs. Sounds even better Live., great set. ❤️

Never get tired of this jam

my God what a band.

Surely, the best three piece band with highly skilled individuals. Unique!!!

I love how this was filmed. The circular pan, the slow zoom in...basically 3 angles, not too cutty. To me it's really effective and stands up to anything. Of course it's my favorite song too.

The best 3 piece ever to grace the earth. Completely phenomenal in all areas.

The performance and creativity from Stewart is just from another dimension.

I saw Sting yesterday at NORTH SEA JAZZ FESTIVAL and I remembered why I still am in love with him since 1979💜

Play that solo, SIR!!!! Andy is BRILLIANT!!!

The most amazing guitar arpeggio in Rock' story... Thanks Mr. Summers!

WTF, what power, what energy, what voice, Sting at the time! Thanks for sharing!

The thing about The Police is that they were all brilliant musicians! Add into the mix astonishing songwriting by Sting and you have a band that were way more than the sum of their parts! Definitely in the top best 5 bands of all time!

コープランドのハイハットワークはいつ聴いても 心地いい🎉

The Police was a great musicians! Stewart Copeland is a beast on drums! Late 70's and early 80's beautiful years. Thanks from Italy for this gem!

Who knew that a bass and a guitar and drums would become one of the best band's on the planet

Andy Summers .........Fantastic !!!!!!

they were such an incredible collection of talent, it's such a shame they broke up but then again they have one of the most "perfect" existences of any group ever

That guitar by Andy is sublime ❤

このライブ映像を見る度にアンディのギターに言葉に表せないとてつもない感動を覚えて、鳥肌が立って眉間にしわを寄せて涙が出てくる。 書いていて何を言っているかよく分からなくなるが、スティングのヴォーカルの後ろに天才アンディと狂気神スチュワートとという唯一無二の二人がいてポリスが出来ていると思う。

The dolly camera moving in the back makes this video something magical. What a magnificent performance.

Something about this song makes me want to cry and fall madly in love at the same time. It just wrecks me in the most delicious way.

This is The Police at their best...

The Police, for me, were especially the best in 1979/80. Love the Regatta de Blanc and Zenyatta Mondatta albums especially. Massive fan back then!

An awesome live version of a great song!

I look at all the comments, hardly any love for Sting and I get it. However, he is the leader and songwriter. A brilliant one at that.

One of the greatest power trio rock bands of all time. So privileged to have lived and enjoyed their music in their time.

4:07 The cherry on top of the cake: Psychedelic semitone descent from Andy and Sting!

No question about it. I wish they were still together.

The Police were an incredible band. No surprise they were as huge as they were!

Gotta be my favorite Police song. I remember seeing them live at the Budokan in 81. This vid makes me feel nostalgic and lucky.

Playing a fretless bass alone is difficult. Sting's singing, playing the fretless bass and playing the Taurus pedals at the same time!

Remember first seeing the Police on countdown around 78' or 79' with the song "can't stand losing you" . Still going strong

Such musicianship. Where can you hear a band like this now? God, I miss them so much.

This band becomes bigger and more as time goes along. Only three people of unusual abilities. It's so good, it defies gravity.

This song stirs my soul!! Love the reggae sound!! So thankful I grew up with this amazing music!! Thanks Police!! 💖💖💖💫💫🔥🔥

Never will be a three piece like this EVER again!! Great full that they came together to create iconic rock music!!! 💯🎸🎼🔥🔥💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

BIG YES..... on EVERY level, in EVERY way. I will always come back to this - vocal wise, bass - gorgeous Andy Summer's exemplar performance --- soaring above - below and in between xxx

It's all perfect: performance, technics, creativity, very personal styles and sound...all three of them. I think only god was able to bring together these guys...

Three incredible forces that came together and caught lightning in a bottle

Andy Summers is so under rated . Awesome .

1/29/22 MY LOVE FOR THIS SONG BROUGHT ME HERE TODAY!!!

such a melodically rhythmic band... great live band... no need for gimmicks... so solid

There are not enough words to describe The Police, its too good to be True... amazing

Best version of what is a phenomenal song. Intensely done! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Copeland like a nice Swiss watch on this one it's a great song

it's no coincidence that power trios seem to have the world's best drummers you could argue till the cows come home on who is better ,truth is they both listen to each others music Stewart Copeland is an incredible drummer

Yeah Sting was a bass man, I know that Stuart Copland was a large part of song writing! Andy Summers was a jazz man also! The police were one of the best band's in the world!

Another example of a trio of musicians who are each masters of their craft. Truly amazing to see.

We loved them forty years ago, but really didn’t appreciate how good they were.

The quality is pretty good for being in 1979.

I'm on a live Police jag the last couple of days, they were just so good and tight, love "em !

I saw them on January 30 and 31, 1984 in Rome, a mystical experience.♥♥

Completely brilliant. 3 brilliant musicians in communication with each other. No other band can touch this.

What an awesome backshot of Stewart Copeland at 1:08..so much groove!

It doesnt get much better than this!

The Police...The Best group. Great singing.

Fantastic Drummer and fantastic rest...

Sting’s voice... wow!!

Le "riff arpège", la voie éraillée de Sting, la jolie cuisine de batterie de Coppeland préparant la montée insistante de la basse à 1'29, avant le solo de guitare, super morceau !

So rare to have a right-kitted drummer with such a powerful left hand. That’s Stewart Copeland’s secret weapon. What a drummer!

fantastic guitar solo in this one.

Sorry but .. I have no words to describe the uniqueness of the sound of the greatest band ever ...

Yes stewart drives the ship...wonderful...

Me here 2024 Fan when i was 11years❤❤❤

Happy birthday, Andy Summers!

Underrated song from what I think is the bands best release. Love the energy of the band. Best band ever!

This is one of my favourite songs of all time and I’m a big police fan. I was 12 when R D B came out and remember buying the vinyl and still have it now. Fantastic band Stuart Copland wow.

Always fascinated by a trio of musicians that sound like 4 or 5 on stage. Police, Rush, ZZ Top, etc. Something special about that.

Such a good band. Who wants to see the Police record a new album ? One of the very few bands that ended things at the height of their fame when there last album was great and they were still on top. I think it is time for the Police to record a new album. it's been a long enough break from them hating on each other. who wants to see them record a new album ?
