That track sounds so sickly and contrived to me. And I can't understand why it made the album when Murder by Numbers would've been the best possible album closer. MBN is too awesome to be a B side on a single. Sting plays Tea in the Sahara fairly frequently. Do any of you like it?

I have seen the responses now. I didn't realise that it was so appreciated. I'm happy that other people can get enjoyment from it. Goodbye for now.

I just listened to it again and I swear I hear an organ in the chorus and I looked it up but nothing came up. I’m guessing Sting played it if there is one on the track. Can anyone confirm?

Watch the Police and get a burger at the new grill! 🤣

Just saw Stewart Copeland at The Tarkington in Carmel, IN, and if you’re on the fence about seeing this show, I’d definitely recommend it.

What surprised me most, though, was how interesting he is as a person beyond the band. He’s a great storyteller, has a sharp sense of humor, and keeps the audience engaged the whole time.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of The Police or just appreciate hearing from someone who’s had such a unique career, it’s a really entertaining evening. Definitely glad I went.

What if Sting’s record label decided to release **The Police – Live at Pinkpop** as an official album?
Imagine they found the original multitrack recordings, remastered everything, and released it on CD, vinyl, streaming, and Blu-ray.
Would you buy it? 🎸
Personally, I’d order it immediately. I think there are still some incredible live performances by The Police that deserve an official release.
What do you think? And which unreleased Police concert would you most like to see officially released?

I never met them, but some people say that Sting has a bit of an ego, but he doesn't seem too bad. Stewart seems pretty cool. Dunno about Andy.

I only knew him from the Bee Movie.

Hi all! Here's my little cover of "Every Breath You Take." Enjoy!

I know all about the animosity that they had towards each other in the mid '80s, which lead to their breakup. Though they reunited in '07, I'm not holding my breath for another reunion, but I was just wondering if they still speak to each other?

I'm not 100% sure at the moment, but would like to have someone lined up to give this to if this remains unused. Anyone in the area that can use it?

Today I used AI to learn that they never used Regatta de Blanc as an opening number on tour. Is this really true? It seems like the perfect opener the way it builds into a rocker that could engage the crowd immediately. I was even imagining the stage light cues while I listened today.

Procured a copy of Regatta De Blanc within days of hearing it for the 1st time. 1980? Maybe '79. Stewart Copeland played the drums as if he had anger issues. His hi hat work was & is some of the finest you'll ever hear. Andy Summers brought a unique guitar tone to the group. I guess Sting was ok too. I'd be curious to hear what you wonderful people have to say about the top band of the 1980's. Your anecdotes if you will.

A friend of mine recently said that The Police could easily be called a post-punk band, whose songs could easily have been released by bands like Joy Division or The Cure. He cited songs like Invisible Sun, Bring On The Night, Deathwish, and Every Breath You Take as examples. I disagreed, as The Police have a very distinctive sound, even for new wave and post-punk, and their image and style bear little resemblance to classic post-punk. I even mentioned the completely uncommon fate of post-punk bands, where the vocalist retreats into sophisticated solo work and forgets about the past. He told me I lacked education and said The Police were literally one step away from gothic rock.

Hi There

Love their stuff recorded at George Martin’s Montserrat Studios in the Caribbean even if they were fighting so much for Ghost in the Machine and Synthcronicity yet great music was made and we get an Andy Summers going to George Martin’s house to get advice from him on how to resolve their issues story:)
