Sting drives the song with his machine gun-like bass, Stewart locks in with Sting and plays his ass off, and Andy is a phenomenal guitarist with a long resume from the early Sixties who plays smokin' riffs that fill in the atmosphere of the song. This is a great performance.

As a bass player, I am in awe of Sting's ability to play off beat and sing complicated words at the same time. Using his thumb to fret the E string is sheer talent.

If you took anyone piece away and they don't work but Copeland could bang silverware around on mash potatoes and is watch him!

Stewart was a student of Jim Marshall, who was one of England’s great drummers, before he started making amplifiers. Many others got their basics from Mr Marshall.

Sting loves it when Stewart over plays the drums ( most of the time)

Still one of my most favored bands. Each guy is an absolute master of his instrument. This level of talent seems to be lacking these days. Still listen to these guys almost everyday. The snare sound that Stewart gets is epic. Just love these guys.

They still rock after all these year, Sting with his soulful approach to his vocals, Stewart still an animal behind the drums, and Andy Summers playing guitar "Like A Boss".

Stewart Copeland plays the drums like nobody else!

Stewart Copeland was the first musician to make me want to play the drums. I remember being impressed with his style as early as age 8, when I was just starting to explore music.

An combination of incredibly skilled and creative musicians - I am forever in awe.

This is one of the greatest bands of all time !!!! All the members have amazing talent!!

Synchronicity was a wildly original and sonically stunning record when it came out. It still is today.

Unbelievable! Great great group of musicians. This composition will never get obsolete never. 👍🏻

I got to see them in November 2007 during this tour. Sting had a cold the night before and there was talk about them cancelling the show. His voice was on point and the performance by all was nothing short of amazing.

These guys knew what they were doing. What a fantastic musicians...

That's great that you can appreciate a band from before your time because too many people under a certain age are obsessed with pigeon-holing everything and not liking music outside their own era and calling everyone who's younger than they are 'boomers' and they seem to just dispose of music soon after they hear it. I started listening to the Police back around 1982 when I was about 20 and my guitar playing was influenced by Andy Summers. The Police were a band that came screaming out of left field at the time because there was a lot of crap on the radio back then like The Eagles, so the fact the The Police were so fresh and different and actually ended up getting on the radio (even if it was only Roxanne), was like a fking miracle because most good music back then was never played on the radio, bands like The Clash were never on the radio. Back in those times, the only way you heard about interesting music was from other people who were into music, other musicians and university radio stations. Anyhow the Police have done a lot of great music. I really like the Ghost in the Machine album. Cheers man

What a particularly balanced band. Stings vocals, Andy Summers hauntingly beautiful energy on guitar, and Copelands sweatband.
