@@MrsNefertari Hi there. I was 20. Crazy trip from Roermond to Essen. Hitchhiked and stayed with friends overnight somewhere in the Ruhrpott. We smoked pot and drank. Hell. Then this crazy Rockpalast concert. Graham Parker & The Rumors, Police and Jack Bruce. Six hours full music! The return trip was hell too. Great memories!
MY big brother was in Germany 80 & 81 Stuttgart ( lol) wish he was still here ...he liked these boys, stones, john Hammond & the boss bruce, the 80's were quiet a time
Yup! I watched this live on tv (from Sweden) and vividly remember the raw, vibrant show. The way the German emcee calls out the name of the band at 0:17 has remained with me as a soundbite memory for more than forty years (though I recalled it as "Und grüssen wir dann herzlich den--- POOLIIIIICE!!" 😃 (my knowledge of German was kinda sketchy at the time)
Das war eine Party ! Klang auch gut auf dem Fernseher. Ein Album später war ich selbst auf einem Policekonzert. Eine Klangkatastrophe ohnegleichen. Von Andy Summers hat man gar nichts gehört. Stewart hat nur noch stumpf 4/4 geklopft. Eine schräge Blechsektion war dabei und ein grauenhaft dumpfer Bass von Sting. Als er zum Kontrabass gegriffen hat, war endgültig Sense. Als ich mir die Mannschaft am Mischpult angesehen habe, war mir alles klar....
my elder brother was recording this fantastic concert in 1980 ( in parallel, it was broadcasted on radio), using a Sony FeCr-tape...I still have this tape today, but because of age and it was played so often the quality is...hm...modest at best :-) Thank you so much for uploading this!!
My dad recorded this on vcr, but also on a 2 track recorder. He was a musician so he had a couple of these things. It was broadcasted both on tv and radio.
I recorded it lice from Broadcast an MC - and took this Tape everywhare - to friends, vacation, in the car aso... for decades. I lost it in the late 90th, when i moved to another city and had to crunch my stuff. I changed to CD, but was still missing this Record for a long time. Some Month ago i found it in a newsgroup as mp3, 320 kb and was so happy to got it back again-. now i carry it everywhere again - on my mobile :-)
Habe ich damals vom Radio aufgenommen und auf einem 54 cm RöhrenTV gesehen. Gesehen habe jch The Police in Wiesbaden mit der dritten LP für sagenhafte 14 DM! Und als Vorgruppe The Photos (kennt wohl kaum noch einer).
Haha ! Ich habs genau so gemacht und die Kassette gibt es immer noch ! Nur mein Fernseher war s/w und miniklein . 1000 Dank für dieses fantastische Upload !!!!!
He referenced many old songs. "Daylight come" is from a song about bananas, you may remember Beetlejuice having that song in a scene. Sting also sang the melody from the song Tequila by The Champs, another one was a line from Sgt. Pepper's album, (fixing a hole), at Hatfield Polytechnic.
Nils Lofgren ist bzw. war auch klasse! Ist natürlich auch eine Geschmackssache. Ich habe Police 1980 mit 13 gesehen und da ich selbst Schlagzeug spiele, hat mich Stewart Copeland`s damals umgehauen!
Du sagst es, 39 Jahre, irre. Hatte die Nils DVD (Live 1979-hergestellt in 2005) mit nem grottenschlechten Sound. Ist wohl der Fernseh-Sound verbaut. Soll ja 2 Versionen geben, einmal mit dem TV-Mix und mit dem Radio-Mix. Vor paar Tagen habe ich mir dann "Cry Tough", DoDVD bestellt, UK-Import, Made in 2010. Ist noch nicht da. Mal schauen/hören, hoffe daß da der bessere Sound drauf ist.
Hartmut Wolters I can honestly that I did just that very thing...with the audio cassette I made of this show for my two month holiday in England and France circa summer 1995. A great one for walking the streets of London...
Crazy how EVERY live performance i see of Roxanne, he always sings "Told you once i won't tell you again" twice in the second verse instead of "I have to tell you just how i feel" weird
So big! Before Status Quo, barclay,..,we were stupid, and then they… cool and stupid, heard before elvis beatles, bay cities…, being home right next door.. monday buying regatta de blanc
It's amazing to watch this back to back with the Markthalle one earlier the same year - czcams.com/video/F4VjsqR5Vbc/video.html. Completely different energy levels (by the time this one rolled around they were pretty overtoured and even Stewart was probably close to absolute exhaustion), yet both utterly remarkable.
Sting was a fantastic song writer, but his Songs sounded without The Police totally boring ... without Copelands weird ingenuity and Summers genuine guitar playing Sting only made bland Pop music ... yuppie shit ...
@@tufty7026 You didn't like "The Soul Cages"? I'm surprised. As much as I enjoy the first two solo LPs by Sting, I find the third more powerful, personal, consistent and darker from beginning to end.
Although a bit quiet, one of the best concerts ever. The Police PURE, no tricks, no gimmicks. The Police how good they really were.....

Thanks time chad
Was barely 16 when we went to this concert.
I can still remember how the floor was vibrating from sting's bass.
I was 16 as well - one of my first concerts. I was completely taken off my feet.

God bless! It must have been ascension Day
Andy Summers playing is Cosmic to the end
I remember watching this concert live on West German TV from behind the Iron Curtain.
Just brilliant! I saw them in 1983.. they were the biggest band in the world but they had lost the excitement by then!
Stewart copeland Great the best
God i miss when gigs were like that, bloody mobile fones!
I saw this LIVE on TV at the time and it hooked me forever...
Yep! I skipped a class in school one day and went home just to hear Andy‘s solo on Bring On The Night again. I recorded the TV show on tape.
I was there, 15 years young!!
Bonham, Peart, Bozzio, Rich, Grohl - doesn’t matter. Copeland is masterful and unbeatable.
Love that Sting is playing that badass upright.
Stuart ..... man he's so lit up, love his energy so is Sting , Andy has to concentrate
Legendary!!! Because of the Conzert I got to know and love The Police.
MY big brother was in Germany 80 & 81 Stuttgart ( lol) wish he was still here ...he liked these boys, stones, john Hammond & the boss bruce, the 80's were quiet a time
One of the best Rockpalast recordings. The Police live, amazing!! Thank you for this TV post.

German TV Show --- Rockpalast --- supported
The Police
many times without limitations!
Bamm

Wo und wann war das denn? War das ne offizielle Police Tour oder ein Open air concert ? Was war denn mit der Mannschaft am Pult?

This concert made me buy my first VCR ! "I'm not gonna miss recording further jems like this one" !!!
Love seeing a band young and hungry. Fantastic
Best memories at this concert ever!!!
Live dabei gewesen vor 42 Jahren jedes halbe rockpalast unvergessen

Eyo Eyo Yo Yo Yo! Sting came up with some great sing a longs! One of their best shows!
Dayo! Daylight come and me want to go home. Eyo Eyo Yo Yo Yo!

So strange living in a world without them now
2024❤
Then and now!
Watch Gateshead live performance in 82 they are fab
Thanks!
Neben ZZ Top und Mothers Finest das Beste (Für mich!!) was der Rockpalast gebracht hat!! Viel mehr Power geht nicht...
"Nils Lofgren" (1979) mal gesehen? Den fand ich mit am Besten. Das war / ist extrem gut.
Nils Lofgren ist bzw. war auch klasse! Ist natürlich auch eine Geschmackssache. Ich habe Police 1980 mit 13 gesehen und da ich selbst Schlagzeug spiele, hat mich Stewart Copeland`s damals umgehauen!
Cool, ich war 15 als ich Police gesehen hatte, in 80 und spiele auch Schlagzeug und Stewart hatte mich auch umgehauen. Wenn das nicht gut ist...
Ist ja geil, dass du auch Drummer bist! Ist echt der Hammer, dass das schon bald 40 Jahre her ist...
Du sagst es, 39 Jahre, irre. Hatte die Nils DVD (Live 1979-hergestellt in 2005) mit nem grottenschlechten Sound. Ist wohl der Fernseh-Sound verbaut.

Rockpalast ...klasse
Zenyatta Mondatta Indeed!
This is Police but watching them in 2008 they are to polished and Sting looks like a mannique, stiff. Loved Police
this concert its f*cking AMAZING
I love this Video so much
Hartmut Wolters I can honestly that I did just that very thing...with the audio cassette I made of this show for my two month holiday in England and France circa summer 1995.
A great one for walking the streets of London...
Best concert ever for me
i made a casset tape of that vhs tape in 1981 still my favorite drums and the version of roxanne
Jahr dabei gewesen
Stu Copland always speeding songs up lol.
It's damn exciting though.
@@robin_holden Copeland: the spark plug firing The Police's engine
Just to fuck up sting
@@djoudjou01 F... Off on his drum kit was for him. Sting was always arguing with Stu
and he did well, songs became so exciting!
❤
Crazy how EVERY live performance i see of Roxanne, he always sings "Told you once i won't tell you again" twice in the second verse instead of "I have to tell you just how i feel"
weird

Liked his first two “solo” albums and Summoners Tales, but otherwise agree
@@tufty7026 You didn't like "The Soul Cages"? I'm surprised. As much as I enjoy the first two solo LPs by Sting, I find the third more powerful, personal, consistent and darker from beginning to end.
Every time I see the Police live I can't help thinking they would be 30% better if Copeland played 25% less. Amazing band though, no doubt.
You clearly are Sting under a fake username.
The are best at drums and guitar, but singing isn't their job for sure.😁
Audio is poor. Try The Police Tokyo 2008. 100 times better.
its the feeling you have with this, it brings me back to that day, i was at home and looking at this. i remember every note.
The audio is not poor, just a little low. Try turning it up!
You're a young guy, right? That gig captured a moment in time. There is no "100 times better"...
This Tape is nearly 40 years old!
The audio may be better, but they're 100 times older. I prefer the youthful energy of this performance.
