    lol. Sting checks out the size of the crowd at 0:45. Then he looks back at Stewart with shock, only to realize the camera is there and quickly smiles at it. - They were so young. Great band. Even Sting could have a little stage fright.

Already a huge Police fan for the studio versions at that moment, this video enriched and enlarged my admiration to a maximum in just a few seconds: 'ROXANOOOOO' since then never left my memorie.

    Sting really is an impressive musician. To play a fret-less base and being able to hit the notes is impressive enough then add singing on top of that and the real kicker is not looking at the bass' fretboard and frets and hitting the notes.
