My favorite Police song that never makes the greatest hits collections.

They kicked off with this song when I took my dad to see them on their final tour (he was a life long fan), he was on his last legs by the time it came around and died of C a couple of months later. I cried through the first six songs. He had a blast. Miss you dad.

@Stinger You must have misunderstood my comment, If you're not used to hearing anyone playing in the pocket or in a pocket, it's a term musicians understand and has to do with timing. One can be mechanical and precise to the point of sounding like a machine or one can progress past that point and add the human element which takes great talent to perfect. Stewart's developed that ability as did Neil Piert and many others. This also applies to other instruments. My son can play in the pocket with his bass guitar, but is still developing his own style on the six string. I too play and started in a marching band in the early 70's. Everyone strives to be precise at first, then either on their own or with the help of a mentor learns to loosen up and let their style dictate deviations from strict tempo always returning to tempo on the accent. Others can explain much better than I can. Google it and some KZread videos should pop up.

He sights the incredible Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the greatest rock trio of all time, as his major influence. His drumming is lights out one of the best ever in rock music.

Absolute excellence, these three gentlemen!

A principios de los Ochentas nadie sabía para dónde iba el Rock, hasta que apareció The Police,una perfecta síntesis rítmica y el arpegio de Andy Summer,el ritmo y fuerza de Copeland,y la Magia de Sting....Grandes hasta hoy.

I got introduced to this band my freshman year in college in '81 been a huge fan every since

Sting. And. The. Police. Are. Still. Awesome. !

These songs back to back !!! Also "voices inside my head" ...awesome!!!

Saw them in Houston with the Cars..best. concert. EVER

one of the most innovative and imaginative bands!

One of the coldest drummer ever!

Glad I grew up in the 80s.
