No discredit to Sting. He was more than talented enough to have a great career by himself as we've seen. So talented. Voice, while playing intricate baselines, and incredible songwriting. But his ego couldn't handle that Copeland was better at his instrument than he was at anything he did. Summers was probably his equal. The most underrated gitarist of all time. It's a disgrace actually. Summers knowledge of music surpasses most if not all. Such a shame. The Police. These three were pure magic together.

I saw Copeland sitting behind a huge kit in Curved Air in 75 - just a fantastic drummer.

First things first: I absolutely adore Stewart Copeland's drumming. Have done so through all the decades that I've known The Police. But whenever I look at the comments section of basically every single Police video here on KZread I get the feeling that the majority of people are almost compulsively heaping praise on the man. And rightly so, that fella deserves the praise, don't get me wrong.. But so many people are very often ignoring Sting's and Summers' contribution to the band. I mean, think of Sting whatever you want but he wrote almost all of the songs they ever recorded (and I absolutely love Stewart's songs, especially on Reggatta), his bass lines are essential to the songs and his voice is, well, the voice of The Police. Without the amazing soundscapes Andy Summers created with his guitar, The Police wouldn't have been The Police. Not as we know and love them. Between the three of them they made this band, egos clashing and all. True, Copeland formed the band and had the good sense to get that bass playing and singing fella from Newcastle involved in it. So there's that. But once again: it was the three of them that created the inimitable energy and creative force that was The Police. Take one single guy out of the equation and you're left with nothing. At least not with The Police. Appreciate the contribution of each of them. Only together they were The Police. Only together they were one.

Copeland is the police. . As well as being the best drummer in the world

This was a brief reunion for the Amnesty International concert, after The Police had broken up in 1984. There was hope of a sixth studio album, but Stewart Copeland broke his collarbone, so it was shelved. Instead the band would not do anything of significance for another 20 years until announcing their 2007-2008 Reunion World Tour. I thankfully got to see them play in sold out show in Atlantic City on November 4th, 2007. Having grown up listening to their music but never seeing them live. This was an awesome experience.

I was 16 and could be biased but the Police and the 80s were magical haven’t seen/felt this since !!!

It was the first of their mini reunion performances and a massively great surprise to me. I was a fan but had never had the chance to see them when they were still together. I’m pretty sure I found out via the radio on the way to the concert that The Police would be there. What a great memory.

Stewart definitely was making his mark, explosive and absolutely enjoying himself. He always hoped for a reunion. I'm a drummer myself and Stewart Copeland was and is my main inspiration. I saw them play in Amsterdam, back in 1978, in Paradiso. Since then, I was hooked... Okay, Bono suddenly enters the stage, because 'Invisible Sun' deals with Ireland... People who are a bit up to date with the ins- and outs, know that Andy isn't such a fan of Bono and his mates. The expression on his face when the singing penguin enters the stage, tells it all.. Story goes, that after they finished their gig, they handed their instruments symbolically, over to U2, because then they were the greatest band. But just before Andy turned his guitar over to the U2 guitarist, he de-tuned his guitar in a proper way.... Always fun...

I graduated from high school in 1981. Back then I had grown up with a lot of 1970's bands(The Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Boston, Zepplin, ect) and did not like the direction muisc was going in the early 80's. How could Gary Numan or Culture Club hold a candle to The Doobies? But most of the bands I liked in high school seemed to dissolve around the time I finished high school. Making matter worse was my younger brother becoming obsessed with The Police. He had all their albums and wouldnt shut up about them or stop playing them. Gradually, I started liking SOME of their songs and wound up loving Sting's Dream Of The Blue Turtles. Fast forward to this concert. My younger brother had to work when this was shown on MTV. I promised him I would record it for him. When he got home, I started raving about how good they performed. My brother blew up and shouted,"I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU THAT FOR YEARS ASSHOLE!" Did I become an avid Police fan? Not really. But I will say these guys are talented.

Thats funny. Same thing happened with me and my brother. He loved U2. I eventually warmed to them for a while in the early to mid-80s.

Bloody hell. Gary Numan or the Doobie Brothers? The choice isn't too difficult... or shouldn't be... .

this is absolute bliss

Still one of the best bands ever - Sting Andy Stewart all equally talented in their own right

I never knew they were still going as late as 86

Lightning in a bottle. That’s describes the police, and all the bands and acts from the 1980s. We will never see it again. Sad, but I am glad I got to experience it as a young man in my 20s.

Love this first song. Message in a bottle They make me recall my teenage. Good music that brought me happinnes. Just 3 guys playing with much energy 💕🤩🎀

Stewart Copeland AKA...The atomic clock!!

Sting, a true gentleman !!!!! Thanks Sting for sharing a moment with me in 2007… Stewart same love ya man….

This performance was one of about 20 from various bands on 6/15/86 to honor Amnesty International’s 25th Anniversary. I’m surprised and disappointed that this isn’t mentioned in the description. It was an all day concert broadcast internationally.

Sting never ever played with this intensity in any of his solo concerts.

Wow! The opening song Copeland just explodes! Amazing energy! 👏🏻 Very Impressive. The whole reunion was great! 👏🏻😎🎸

Seen them two different times in Montreal. Legendary !

Simply the best of the best.

Heard this on the radio live! The best set EVER. When Sting hands it over to Bono …. Amazing!
