the quality of this is INSANE. kudos for the team that kept the film prints and transferred them over to digital.

Andy Summers got killer tone going on in this performance. I would expect nothing less.

[TagusMan]

One of the best bands of all time. Great on record and awesome live.

[Joaquinonbasstheelectriklovein]

Andy kills it!He can even drop out & keep the vibe.This band played using the space between the notes.

I have seen several versions of this live, and Copeland changes the rhythm every time his improvisation is amazing. I am a drummer myself and he's th biggest influence on me, his mind is wired differently, he knows he has to provide the rhythm for the song, but it's almost like he is not capable of providing the same beat for a song two nights in succession, just a totally astounding drummer.

Message In a Bottle is Smells Like Teen Spirit of 1980s!😊

[DirtyWindshieldSeries]

To me, 1979 will always be defined by 3 Albums, Regatta de Blanc, London Calling and Damn the Torpedoes. Rock n Roll was so healthy back then. This Performance is Beyond Awesome!

[jacquelinecraven]

Was crazy over this trio when I was a teenager. Saw them twice and they were awesome. Will forever be a fan of The Police.

love how the fans are right up in their faces - such a visceral looking performance. Stew was off is nuts on those octobans and I'm here for it!

[antonio_qp]

If I'm not mistaken this is the fastest live performance I've seen and heard of this song, the drummer is insane.

[James-buyz]

damn that guitar is beautiful. Andy is a great guitarist! Very under appreciated!

[elCaxi]

as per usual Stews drumming is something from beyond this universe.. GD Genius

I actually got to hang with them, in the early 80s when I was in HS. My Aunt worked and dated the late great Hawaii Concert Promoter Ken Rosene. Rode with them in a limo from Honolulu Airport l. Got to their gig at UH Manoa campus. Watch them do blow before they hit the stage for about 200 fans, did their Outlandos songs, but played their Two new song Message in a bottle and walking on the moon. Nice guys joking around like tourist about luaus and beaches, never at that time, knew how giant rock icons they would become. Still a huge fan and I'm 58.

[DC-mvgt]

Three years ago I met this gem of a song And I don't stop listening, I liked going to a concert of you I'm 18 years old and I really like your music.

[CribNotes]

To this day, I don't think Sting understands that Stewart Copeland's drumming made him an international superstar. NO OTHER DRUMMER played like this back in 1980. Exotic punk????

[gubatus]

I thought most high quality videos about the police live were already released, happy to say im gladly surprised with this one :D

[lauraandreozzi]

THE POLICE best band ever! 👮‍♂️❤👮‍♂️❤️👮‍♂️❤️

[sdh]

The set list is right behind Stewart. Hard to believe this is the only song they filmed.

[chrisblay]

Still got all my Police vinyl from when I was a teenager back in the eighties. Never saw them live though. Loved all their music.

[Riverratminiatures]

As polished as all the Police videos are, this is a welcome glance into when they were really just gigging musicians still figuring it all out.
