Sting Live 1985 - I Burn For You (Jijitally Remastered)

Sting and his 'Blue Turtles' play "I Burn For You" live in Paris (new HQ audio), 1985. Great song and fantastic band, especially Omar Hakim on drums!

STILL one of the sickest drum solos of all time. 🤯🔥🔥🔥A drum solo with the band. That's some African bush holy trance. Branford is giving me baby Coltrane. That bassline. Kenny on them keys. The nasty, slow burn of this song. Sting is a bad man for getting these musicians 👏👏One of my fav Sting joints.🔥🔥🔥 I love every version.

Am I the only one who cries when they see this drum solo???and I can really play dem drums!!!!

I have this on VHS. As a lifelong drummer I remember sitting with my dad when I saw this at 11 years old watching over and over loving the performance of this concert but this song in particular

[onend]

Kenny watching Omar in total disbelief of what he's witnessing, amazing.

[DEEROCKNZ]

I'm 48 and was at my full capacity in drumming till I seen this. Awesome song still till this day.

Damn, this just never gets old...Omar Hakim is f**king awsome.

There are a lot of great drummers out there... But in this moment live... Omar Hakim created one of the greatest drum solos ever... MASTERPIECE 💎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I have watched this over 100 times probably and I have the video even and I STILL will watch it on You Tube... Goosebumps the sh&t out of me EVERY time.

I remember seeing this back in the 80's and being blown away and then here comes Omar Hakim with the most powerful "Give the drummer some" moments I have ever seen. Even the late Kenny Kirkland can be seen chuckling. OH absolutely assaulted the skins in a crescendo of pure power that was also graceful.

I saw Omar with sting( first tour) best drummer i have ever seen

[SorrySonny]

I know of not many drummers, but once I met Hakim, he was all that I needed to know.

[LotusPhotoStudios]

I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO PLAY DRUMS LIKE OMAR HAKIM!!! HE'S LITERALLY ONE OF THE GREATEST DRUMMERS OF ALL TIME!!!

[LotusPhotoStudios]

I remember watching this documentary for the first time on VHS. Yes, VHS, remember those things??? Lol!! I was just blown away at Omar's incredible drumming. I started drum lessons mainly because of him, and still play. After 30 years of playing drums, I STILL HAVE NOOO DAMN IDEA WHAT OMAR IS FREAKING DOING!!!

[sultana]

Everytime I watch this clip....(and I have watched it too many times to count), I shed tears at the end of Omar Hakim's solo!! Thank you Omar!! That drum solo and your performance on the entire gig will surely live beyond your days!! SAVAGE!!!

[chipwillis]

The greatest drum solo of all time. Period.

Omar Hakim is one of most important modern drummer and this solo in "I burn for you" remains historical ..of course!
He "bewitched" many drummers (and other musicians) in the world.. amazing drumming!

[CraigStephens]

Omar and Marseilles and Sting....I cry everytime I watch this. Gonna jam drums tomorrow with as much passion as I can muster!🙌🎶❤

[tmelitta]

This drumming is otherworldly!
I.saw the movie in the theatres in 85and bought the VHS the second it came out.
i watch this every six months or so and it still delivers goose bumps!!!

God has a middle name and His name is Omar Hakim. Bravo my man. Love kills. ❤️
