What a truly fantastic drummer colaiuta is 🙏👍

To this day, Vinnie's groove on this song is one of the most deceptively complex drum parts ever recorded. Sting has always been fortunate with drummers. Copeland, Hakim, Katche, and Colaiuta.

It might also be said drummers are fortunate to get to play with Sting. Probably their best paydays. And Sting is a masterful musician and songwriter.

This is not deceptively complex, it's merely odd meter. Count it out 1,2,3,4,5...practice, make sure your accented high hit notes are very contrasted with the unaccented one and that's where the feel is.

I'm a rocker by heart but I love this song Vinnies playing is brilliant 👌👌👌👌

Man, this is such a beautiful tune! And Vinnie is just fantastic!

I’m sure that was an amazing concert. Was that with Jeff Beck?

I was introduced to this song and project whilst traveling by train through Ukraine in the early 1990s. As I hear this song now, so so many years later, I reflect back to what I saw when first listening to Sumner’s tunes. I remember the fields passing amongst the small bodies of water. And the two lovers hidden amongst the weeds who were witnessed only by us, the bored passengers passing time as life passed by. The beats of this tune correlated with the rhythmic pattern the moving train played. It was a delight to hear then, as it is now. Gorgeous song.❤

Colaiuta, one of the finest drummers around

Sting n the boys killed it with this song❤

Well that was easy. Or it felt easy, rather. My God what a song played effortlessly by fantastic musicians. It took me 11 years to come across this version but I thoroughly enjoyed the last 5 minutes of my life :-)

After watching Tiger Woods I decided that I wasn’t really a golfer. Now watching Vinnie I am not a drummer either

This version has more interesting little licks (especially the keys) in it than the studio version that made the album.

And my heart is filled to the brim with joy. Amazing talent on display. Vinnie is one of the GOAT'S.

Totally brilliant, Vinnie is just perfection!

One of my favorite solo Sting tracks. Exceptional musicians all around.

Damn, flawless playing by All

Vinnie , what a great combination with Sting

I say this guitar player/backup vocalist who is always there with Sting is an awesome musician.

You are right about that.

Work of geniuses. This song hits me hard as one of the best I have ever heard in popular music culture. These chords are weird and at the same time they make sense in such a unique way. It brings me joy. A whole lot of.

By far, the popular song with the most original drum feels ever created. Favourite drummers song. A song to study and play beat by beat.

Colaiuta, master inspiration for drummers and musicians

Vinnie, Vinnie, so Vinnie. Bravo!

Amazing performances all around, but you've actually got two singers here - Sting and Vinnie. One is mostly melodic, but also rhythmic - the other is mostly rhythmic but also melodic. Vinnie adds the punch and dynamics which accentuates and brings out the contrast in Stings dreamy vocals, but also leaves an incredible amount of space and openness. There's not one unnecessary note or sound here. ** Love that "ow" growl at 4:25, then the laugh and then another "ow" few seconds later. The first one almost looked it it was Vinnie (unlikely but I saw his mouth move). It's those little things that take things from great to classic.

1:39 David Sancious with the tasty run. Love it.

This fits the title more than perfect. This makes Sting soo unique. Just a simple idea, 7 days, 7 bars. That's it.

You had me from the first note... soooo good.

Keeping the 5/8 groove strong!

Cool. Different version than the album. At least the drums.

1 of a kind,...: Vinnie!!! I see those smiles. Ox

An stunning disposal of monster musicianship. What a session. Sounds awesome and what a player Vinnie is, Wow!

The fact that this recording is a "rough track" is astounding! But it's a blueprint of what would become the studio masterpiece puts it on par as a masterpiece of it's own. It's like a slightly looser version of what it would become. Man, do I love this era of Sting.

I can't believe I never saw this version of it before today. Awesome!

Just incredible, on a different level, love this track so much

Awesome! Magnifique! Bellissimo! The best from Sting!❤👏🙏

I think it's more that Vinnie as a session guy would follow Sting's direction without much/any resistance unlike Stewart as an equal (very outspoken lol) bandmember - if Vinnie is playing a lot of notes it's because Sting okayed it, not really the case with Stewart haha Also the album version is far less busy than this live recording (compared to Stewart being very busy in studio and very very very busy live), him noodling more here isn't really reflective of his playing in contexts where restraint is more important.

@@thomaskennydrums ok this is a very nice answer. Makes perfect sense. But to Stewart’s credit, his playing made those police songs so beloved which inspired how Vinnie shaped Stings solo music.
