You said it.

And the part that this video cuts off is even more symbolic of that passing of the tourch. U2 closed the show that night, and came on after The Police. When they finished this song, u2 started onto the stage. You can see in the last second of the video. Sting takes off his Bass and hands it to Adam Clayton, Andy takes off his guitar and hands it to The Edge. Larry takes Stewart's drum sticks , the Police don't play together again (till R&R Hall of Fame 2005) and thus U2 became the biggest band of the 2nd half of the 80's.

They should not have pased torch, and instead continued to play and record to this day. Police are best at least in music

U2 is not even a close 2nd to The Police.

@@waynemontpetit8181 I agree I think the police were one of the best bands every I wast was speaking to the commercial aspects of the band. Following this performance, U2 was the bigger band undoubtedly

U2 a bad Corporate sellout group now but 80s U2...☝

you're making up a story,lol

Great narrative

@@Vincemachado bro machado?

There was also a rumour of them doing a covers album of 50s and 60s classics, the would have been great.

Yes it’s like sting doesn’t care he has no emotion when bono cares

Yes Bono songs with much more emotion but the words sting more to an Irishman than an Englishman. I don't want to spend the rest of my life Looking at the barrel of an Armalite I don't want to spend the rest of my days Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say The “soldiers” likely killed friends Bono grew up with and I’m sure he heard plenty of stories of friends imprisoned trying to “keep out of trouble”. He probably had friends that killed soldiers too. I don’t think Sting, although he wrote the great words, could really emote them with the same “lived” passion. Great show though. I was there and absolutely flabbergasted and thrilled when Bono came out for this.

Probably because Bono was living in Ireland at the time and experienced The Troubles (what the song is about) firsthand.

I agree with what Ghost Ninja said. If you watch the official video you'll see why.

I think sting was straining his voice a bit after singing too much so he was protecting it. Bono was fresher but I prefer sting's voice

what is the best band suppose to be? but honestly, the police ,each of them are elite musicians ,not just great song writers but really top level musicians on top of being great song writers...

Nope

True. But U2 literally took over the world the following year...

Amazing band, but underrated af. They have no bad albums in their discography. But I have to disagree with you lol

@@dfk09 the police left a vacum in music where many bands became big after

En 1988 à 16 ans j’avais toute les K7 de police Alors que j’écoutais de la musique punks 😜✅

I also love how weird it sounds, that's what the taste is sometimes

Exactly. Young Bono and The Police.....extremely rare.

He was a great singer

Followed by Bono coming out and ruining things per usual.

@@moncorp1 Come on. Bono did a great job here. And I'm a huge police fan, especially Ghost in the Machine.

I was - it was hot & Yoko Sucked - Peter Gabriel stole the show!

😪🙏

Yes. Hilarious. Like who's this annoying shit?

He's into his guitar, you think too much, lol

Incredibly successful?

U2 had already come out with Pride (In the name of love) before this show so they were already very popular. About as popular as the Police were prior to Synchronicity.

The Police were an international band before Synchronicity- Ghost in the machine was a global hit and so was Zenyatta M. The Police were truly an international band. U2 became an international band after Joshua Tree…

U2 were massively popular at this time! This was a year after Live Aid. The whole world knew them! The Police had already disbanded by this time. This was a reunion performance for them.

Very similar for me. I also saw U2 in April of 1985 (in Hartford) and then was at this show in NJ also. And I agree with you on all of that. U2 was definitely already blowing up on the prior tour. I also think they've got the date for this wrong. It says 6/15/1986 but I could swear it was deep into Summer, like July or August. When Santana was playing, we were treated to a quick shower and I remember it being such a relief from the heat. And I remember Yoko got booed so badly on her first song, but then she sang Imagine and order was restored in the Universe LOL But the main reason I was there was that I had never seen Peter Gabriel and it had been at least three years since he toured last. My friends and I were all super excited to see him and he of course never disappoints.

This was at the end of the Police's set and it was the next to last song of the night. After this all the acts came back on stage for the finale of Sun City.

Keep listening to it until you get bored of it

They still don't. Theybthinkbthe A stands for assault.....a salt....asphalt....

There were six shows on the Conspiracy of Hope Tour. U2 headlined the first 3 shows with Sting performing solo. After Copeland and Summers joined Sting for the reunion the Police headlined the second 3 shows.

Never thought of that. Amazingly well spotted. The Great Reset !!! 🙏

Wow it's just so relevant today all of it. To me it's amazing music but so much more.

Has Bono ever drabbled in drugs? I know Sting has, as he talked about his cocaine use, and also had to have a nose job after the abuse his nasal cavities suffered.

Hard to know either way. Bono claims he never did drugs but searching online I found another person on Quora who said Bono was clearly stoned or drunk when u2 performed "Bad" at Live Aid.

Just watched that live aid performance. Bono looked like he was trippin balls. Check it out and decide for yourself. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HvBgRSSlVBA.html

@@squirrelattackspidy Yeah, that does look pretty convincing. In that he is high as a kite there. I think he has trouble remembering the words.

Bono is not now and has never been a druggie. Why would he be stoned singing a song about losing friends to heroin addiction?

I thought the same thing - or High as a Mofo

looks like heroin

@@zeramoke I think just some really strong weed
