This is a flawless cover, and maybe Copeland’s best work.

In the mid 1970s, I formed a three piece band (guitar, bass & drums). Our style was a fusion of rock and reggae. We gigged quite a lot, but nobody really, 'got' what we were trying to achieve. At one gig at a US Air Force (in England) a guy in the audience slipped a note onto the stage, saying, 'Play Yellow Ribbon, or I'll kill the power supply'. We obliged, but we still played it in a rocky/reggae style. And then The Police came along and showed us how it should've been done. BTW, on the original record, right at the end of the fade of the repeated, 'Sending out an S.O.S.' you can just hear Sting singing, 'Sending out an Esso Blue', which was a heating oil at the time. Good old British sense of humour.

Totally agree. The only reason I clicked on this video was to make sure the sound on my phone was working, and I ended up watching the whole thing. Simply incredible.

By far the closest cover to the original I’ve ever heard, awesome job!

A spotless cover!!!

Perfection. Right down to the rim tap. 👍👍

Yes!

Very impressive! 🤩👍 Copeland himself had done loads of overdubs on the studio recording, like the Ride bell in the verses, the descending toms in the chorus and the fill-ins in the outro 🙂

awesome, Thank you very much.

Totally blown away. That was just a superb cover. I'm 58 and The Police were a huge part of my life growing up. Never ever did I think I would see a cover as good as yours. I have just watched this 6 times in a row, your work is flawless. Well done young man. I look forward to seeing more from you.

Nice job! Stew admitted that he added another track for the cymbal bell in the third verse, but you did it all by yourself without overdubbing. Nice!
