The last real Police album. I’m partial to Regatta de Blanc, though.
Regatta de Blanc live 1979. They were on fire then. Stewart Copeland changed drumming.

I played bass in a bar band back then on Long Island New York, 1981 a looooooong time ago when I was 17. I had to lie how old I was, and one of the songs we played was “Driven to tears” which was a great song to jam on. I can’t believe it’s been 44 years. Back then it was ridiculously easy to get gigs, nowadays I heard it’s almost impossible. I haven’t played in a band in years, at least 20 years.
Those were the days.
Wasn’t she in Spiderman?
In, I think, 1979 a friend snuck me into Summers on the Beach in Fort Lauderdale to hear this awesome band - three guys, one on guitar, one on bass, one on drums.
They were okay, but there playlist was thin. A song they played early in their set was repeated towards the end...I Can’t Stand Losing You. I got the impression that most of their songs were minor variations on each other. I was less than impressed.
Within 5 years I had bought all of their albums and actually wore out Outlandos d’Amour.
Agreed. It was groundbreaking.
