| | | | Great DVD. Especially when he picks up the EUB in Walking on the Moon. Also, I always thought Stuart Copeland was a terrific drummer but what a treat it is to see him play these songs live. Do my ears deceive me though, or is Sting not playing the same line during the verses of Spirits in the Material world that he plays on the studio recording? Granted, this probably falls into the category of "almost impossible to sing it and play it at the same time" but the Ghost in the Machine version is soooo perfect. I will never be sick of that song (and I've already heard it a billion times by now) and it's all because of that bassline...

ps. I'd never seen Copeland's "Klark Kent" project- http://www.stewartcopeland.co.uk/stewartcopela-16.html
the clip of him doing "Don't care" on TOTP is funny- he's holding a old P bass- while Sting and Andy Summers are behind wearing monkey masks

Anybody know more about his family? OK - so Stew founded The Police. Isn't ther an Aaron? He did something with the name FBI in it and there's one other too. Maybe his dad or some other brother had yet another law enforcement related band name or record label or something. Pretty weird, eh?

Broken Music, which I enjoyed quite a bit by the way.
Oh, and regarding Spirits in the material world, at least on the live cd,
he plays a simpler line, and if I recall correctly, a fourth higher
than on the studio version. And during the chorus goes back to
the same as the studio one. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
