Ironically amusing how so many seem to think he was being serious. He was having a good laugh along with the audience. It's English humour for fuck's sake.

Exactly. Sting even gave the guy a second line and was looking directly at him when he did so. He even smiled as he made his comment. If Sting was annoyed, pissed or as smug as some seem to think, he wouldn't he wouldn't have smiled, he would have been dead serious. If the audience guy wanted to piss Sting off he would have continued. So yeah, it was clearly done on fun. But this is the modern internet so everything has to be about hate, bitching and celeb egos, right?

I think Sting's reaction is one of genuine amusement. He repeatedly looked toward the guy, as if expecting more. After the second interjection, the guy knew he'd had his moment and to let the show go on. One human, caught up in the moment, and another one recognizing it.

Oh absolutely, he is having fun with the guy. Watch his reactions to Ross Viner in his video of him singing with Sting. Exactly the same amused look on Sting’s face when Viner was unexpectedly good and hamming it up a bit. He is enough of a showman to know when something unexpected like that spices up a live performance. And the guy singing it knew when to stop, which shows he wasn’t completely plastered. I saw Sting in concert on this tour, and the guy absolutely knew how to give the crowd their money’s worth.

YEP! As a long-time fan, I can tell that Sting is amused and tries to see if the guy is up to the challenge. Sting is a great singer, and a nice human being in private and on stage. BUT he loves to WIN a battle and wants to have the last word - or note, as he says to the guy "Try this!" and sings his famous 10+ seconds long note on "SENDING OUUUUUUUUUUUT" @ 3'37 ;-) Hillarious moment!

A rare moment indeed when one of the crowd added more life to the performer, his performance and all those paying attention just by having a bit of tasteful timing and guts to put himself under the spot light. Obviously Sting had a brief moment finding him self as now part of the crowd during his own concert as his expressions towards the audience attest. Even he seemed impressed by the fan in the response "You got some fucking nerve in you." Thanks for sharing the video.

Sting is partly pissed because of the disrespect, but he is also cracking a smile. The somber aura Sting was going for with "message in a bottle" done in minimalist fashion for the entire audience was transformed into comedic absurdity by one guy, How could he not crack a smile at that?

Sting gets the laugh @ 3:36 when he looks again at Roger and says, "try this," and then belts out the near final note for 12 seconds.

***** But there is another point here: all of your students at the college together wouldn't be able to sound like this performance here, because Sting sounds like the whole Police. Classically trained guitarists are notorious for speaking all the time about chords, speed, tune-out of tune etc, but this is rock'n'roll. One note - and you are a legend, but no one could do it like him. This is like comparing an Italo-Disco keybord player with 2 fingers with Rick Wakeman. I vote for the Italo.

He's having a laugh with it, that's all.
Lol - very funny ! I've been playing live for nearly 30 years and it's these little fun moments that stick in the mind more than anything - I doubt sting minded that much ;)
That is the most hysterical Sting video! You got some guts but looks like he got you!!
That’s hysterical. Sting wasn’t angry! He was impressed and couldn’t believe the nerve of the audience member! 😂😂😂
Couldn't have said it any better Surpata2. hats off to you.
Sting's voice is still really good!
2:53 --> dude, you rock! Sting's face is epic
This was a great gig! A good laugh there for us at the end too! Thanks for posting :-)
This stuff as a performer is normal. He was actually playing to the crowd. Shows that he knows what he's doing. :)
Wow he still has power in his voice. I expected to hear that monotone drone.
Wahoooo!!! That was fun! Everyone enjoyed that exchange, hehe.
I saw this tour in Phoenix when it came through. Sting is the best!
3:36 "try this" classic!

Tryied it and it sounds like shit if I do
Brilliant!! and what a note!
That's classic good humor. The guy even sounds like Sting and I think that's what Sting liked.
legend ! the bloke who sang as well as sting, !
that guy in the crowd sounded ok the 2nd time he sang out loud. lmao Sting>"got some fucking nerve dudnt he"
It happens near 2:45
fricking 60 years old when he sang like this! awe
Handles it like a champ. Funny, outsings him, love it!
Sting must've been drunk when he gave this concert.
My favorite!!!
priceless....finally caught Sting with his guard down!!!!
Well, my top three favorite Sting things. But the sexiest performance of this song was on the Policeman’s Other Ball. Swear to God, I’m old now but he still gets my message.
great performance and funny
Andy Summers is a great guitarist
I think it worked out great for Sting as he was having trouble with the riff progression...a bit rusty...I know that feeling. But he's a heck of a musician. One of the best.

and you can play it faultlessly fingerstyle whilst singing full-on?
HILARIOUS!!!
Great song and great video!!!
Still got it man, still got it....
That's so good!
totally agreed. he was playful and right in saying "you've got some fucking nerve".
Apologies to you Alys in regards to my previous negative comment. It is a well shot video and has some historical value.
This video made my day! :-)
Yes! good one!
Awesome! Yeah, he cussed at the guy, but he seemed pretty good-natured about it. Made it cool. Great version of the song.
This is very funny !
One guitar , one voice. Wow.
This ls gold!
Jesus ppl calm down he was only having the craic with your man! He was smiling at him for crying out loud! Some ppl just love any excuse to tear a man down!
legend !
Andy Summers did a good job teaching Sting how to play that.

Sting was just being sarcasticcc hahahaha!!! Its actually pretty funny!
The guy in the audience singing is not annoying at all!! lol!!!!!!
I’m an old school rap fan but I’m even an older school sting fan!
Audience participation!
This is a really good camera
That old man can still belt it out, son.
You can see it in Stings face... as a guitarist myself you have to not make funny faces that says you made a mistake on the guitar, because it is unprofessional, but it is funny seeing that happening. ; D

I could not disagree more. Rock & Roll is a far more loose, raw art form, and pretending you didn't fuck up when everyone knows you did is phoniness that should be saved for vaudeville. Your way of thinking is straight out of 1940.

Joel Mc I guess that came from my music lectures at college... "Just keep playing and don't make it obvious you made a mistake". I wouldn't say they were born in the 1940's, but maybe whatever their lectures taught them also passed down that idea.

There are no rule to Rock \m/. I am a guitarist myself. Just get up there feel the music and rock out and mkae whatever faces you want. Hendrix made made faces all the time. Hes a Guitar Wizard! \m/

***** But there is another point here: all of your students at the college together wouldn't be able to sound like this performance here, because Sting sounds like the whole Police. Classically trained guitarists are notorious for speaking all the time about chords, speed, tune-out of tune etc, but this is rock'n'roll. One note - and you are a legend, but no one could do it like him. This is like comparing an Italo-Disco keybord player with 2 fingers with Rick Wakeman. I vote for the Italo.
you've gotta check out Kyle Jones Wave Drum Oriental -- he's the bad boy of Tabla and World Percussion --- EMMY award winning too... I've known him for decades...possibly the best guy I know...
The next 30 June in concert in Tenerife Island,Spain!
LoL!! That made my night!! :)
Hey that's Hisham!
aaaaaaand...You've Got Stung!!!
you've got a point
Too funny!
Sting was always creative innovator and made it long time ago and still exploring,making masterpieces and progressing in his art ... The wild old school of music is not X Factor where ,almost, all finalist sounds the same at the end of the stage and the end up as slaves of their producers , loosing their personna and their identity .
assuming this is from his back to Bass Tour, I'm glad he didn't play this version of the song when I saw him on that same tour.
Hahaha that shit was pretty funny when the dude first sang out.
Hello, This is a great clip! please could I use this in a media gallery I am compiling for the University of Sunderland news website. You would be credited as the content creator and your yourtube channel would be linked also :)
Great ! He has the guitar 3/4 scale ? I got the same but in other colour. Beautiful voice and I like when he made the mistakes hehe, cool performance.
He was just having a laugh. Fucking sarcasm and the good old english piss take sense of humour is lost on so many people. Check out the guys range though. Not the guy in the crowd.......Sting

Carlibengarli Well he had a much better range back in the police days, but while it had dropped drastically in the 90s, he seems to have recovered some of it recently. Maybe it's just compensating via improved technique.
Everyone who is saying that Sting can't play the riff: sting &%$£ing wrote it!!! Check out the first time they played it live at Hatfield and Andy &%$£s it up
he sang very good on that
Can't stop laughing lol
so damn funny
Haha brilliant
playing his home town
