The Police ist eine 1977 unter anderem von Sting gegründete englische New-Wave-Band, welche die Pop-Rock-Musik in den 1970er- und 1980er-Jahre entscheidend beeinflusste. The Police gilt als eine der erfolgreichsten Rockformationen der New-Wave Bewegung. Vier von fünf Studioalben von The Police belegten Platz 1 der britischen Album-Charts und sie gilt als Karrierestart von Sting. Ihre Musik ist von Reggea, Punk und Ska inspiriert, enthält jedoch auch Elemente von Jazz.
Nach einer Auszeit gab The Police am 12. Februar 2007 anlässlich der Grammy Awards 2007 ihr Comeback bekannt. Anschließend ging The Police erneut auf Welttournee, veröffentlichte jedoch keine neuen Songs. 2008 gaben The Police ihr letztes Konzert.
Die Aufzeichnung des Konzerts fand am 11. Januar 1980 in der Hamburger Markthalle statt. Bevor The Police im Oktober 1980 bei der 7. Rockpalast-Nacht in Essen auf der großen Bühne standen und via Eurovision in unzählige Länder übertragen wurden, hat The Police hier schon einmal im Rockpalast bewiesen, dass ihre Live-Auftritte in Erinnerung bleiben. Zwar noch im kleinen Rahmen, aber auch da schon mit ihren großen Songs im Gepäck: So Lonely, Roxanne, Can't Stand Loosing You und Message In A Bottle standen schon damals auf der Setlist von Sting, Summers und Copeland.

Stewart was my hero growing up. I had his Modern Drummer articles all over my room. He’s the reason I became a touring drummer. Years later when I started playing for Tama I got to meet him at a Tama event at NAMM. Out of nowhere I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes while talking to him. He was cool af and said, “it’s ok man” and he gave me a quick hug. I was so flustered but that’s what Stewart meant to me. After the event, he went out of his way to find me and said he liked my playing and we should hang out sometime. Of course everyone says that and we never did. But I subsequently did became good friends with Jeff Seitz, his drum tech that same day. Also a legend. Great dudes. And that’s my Stewart story. Peace.

@OslerWannabe 2 года назад

Unfortunately, shredding isn't something that elite bass players do. I love the Police; I was an early fan in 1976. But watching this after recently going back to watch some early Cream, and late Beatles, I've realized for the first time that Sting's playing was merely very good, but wasn't on a par with McCartney or Bruce. A three piece band presents unique challenges for a bass player. He has more responsibility for playing melodically, providing more chord structure rather than just bottom end. Here, in "So Lonely", Andy's solo is so spare that it demands much more from the bass, but Sting leaves him hanging. I can only wonder what Jack Bruce would have done here. Not too much, most likely, but enough that Andy wouldn't sound like he was playing alone.

This is the band I saw at the 3,000 seat Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on 17 May 1979, after the first album (Outlandos) came out and the second (Regatta) was about to be released a few months later. Only six months later, my roommate and I drove to see them at the San Diego Civic Theater on 20 November 1979 just after Regatta was released. Sting was on FIRE in those days, as powerful a performer as I've ever seen. The band was ferocious - their music took on a different hue entirely when performed live. This is a full concert and a glimpse of what the band was like in those days. They also played Madam Wong's about the same time as the Santa Monica gig, and the Palladium right after the San Diego gig. The theater in San Diego was acoustically perfect, which made Walking On The Moon absolutely surreal.

@krollpeter 4 года назад

He liked to change timing and Sting has to play according to him. That was a constant source of conflict. Otherwise, Steward Copelands role as a drummer of The Police can not be overrated. He plays in another league, and he is 50 % of the sound.

@dthorne4602 4 года назад

@@krollpeter Yep, I'm a huge Copeland fan, but if I were Sting I'd be pissed if he played "Next to You" that damn fast. It actually doesn't work at that tempo, steals all of the feel. He seemed to do it just to get under Gordon's skin.

@krollpeter 4 года назад

@@dthorne4602 That could be. I do understand him, and I don't think he is that pompous as what many believe. They both have their moments.

@richardfairlamb9728 5 месяцев назад

Maybe, but Sting is a master songwriter. So much of their greatness comes from Sting’s unique songwriting. Stewart says Sting would come to the studio with fully formed demos before Stuart and Andy even added to them.

This is a really vocally revealing performance from Sting. He’s hoarse and sounds like he’s been touring for about two years straight...yet it only manifests as hoarseness. A lot of other singers would be cracking and struggling when tired but he’s just a bit gravelly. You can tell that he’s generally SUPER comfortable in that higher range of his. Very interesting...

@simonespanu7768 3 года назад

You nailed it. Though Sting spent years with jazz masters and superstars, and recording on deutsche grammophon long after this period, I still find his years with The Police to be far more mesmerizing.

@@MobiusBandwidth during Walking On the Moon, you can see Andy asking the monitor mixer for more bass on stage.

@mancuniancandidatem 3 года назад

I agree. His job was hard enough singing and playing bass. Why did he make it harder by using a fretless? Still enjoy this but the guitar and bass are continually out of tune. He actually pitches his vocal to the guitar thankfully.

This and the Poytechnic show are two of their best live concerts! It’s high energy and Stu has those long arms. It’s like he was born to drum. Tall, strong and lanky! And Andy is brilliant with his echoplex and soundscapes. Then Sting playing bass and singing the lead which is harder than you think. Try it sometime. I used to play the bass. No way could I sing anything other than a backup vocal and play accurately at the same time much less sing entire songs and play. No way! So I’m glad this was filmed for posterity so new generations can see and hear what a great power trio band this was! 💥⚡️🔥😎🎸

@seafield41 2 года назад

what an amazing piece of film, just as they had cracked the big time. It's great that Stewart is getting lots of cool comments, he is my hero too, his tuning, his style, his energy and in particular his Hi Hat work, He is a very smart guy, he used a delay on his snare and hi hats, I remember Rhythm Magazine trying to write out the score to message in a bottle, and they even admitted it was as close as they could get, as they weren't sure what was delay and what he played straight in some parts, if anyone loves this era of the police, look up Stewart's Film, DOES EVERYONE STARE, filmed on his own camera on the USA make or break tour, just around 6 months before this Rockpalast film. What a truly unique band I also have to mention Andy's guitar part on Bring on the night, Guitarists correct me if i'm wrong, but surely more in common with classical technique than Rock, you have to be brilliant A, to think like that, and B. to pull it off, Oh and sting is ok too LOL

@ShaunArmstrong965 3 года назад

If you ever needed an example of what made The Police so special, without the added weight of one of their famous "hits", look no further than the sublime "The Beds Too Big Without You" at 00:34:00 - every element a showcase of unique talent. This and Shadows In The Rain Live (Gateshead 1982) my two favourite tracks.
