DVD The Police - Every Breath You Take
All the evidence that Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland deserved their 2003 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is right here in this two-hour (including bonus features) DVD package. Unfortunately, not a lot of that evidence is visual; the Police's videos--at least the 10 directed by Derek Burbige--seem thrown together and uninspired, consisting mostly of the trio half-heartedly lip-syncing or merely horsing around (the four later ones by Kevin Godley and Lol Creme are a considerable improvement). We do get to see Sting at his most punk (a '78 live version of "Can't Stand Losing You") and most iconic (the "Every Breath You Take" video), and the 48-minute Ghost in the Machine-era documentary is interesting. But it wasn't MTV that got the Police into the Hall; it was superb musicianship and wonderful songs. And here in their digitally remastered glory, they all sound great. --Sam Graham
If you like the band or just one member of it you must get this.
Their classics with all their music videos which are now hard to find. Well worth the money, great sound quality as well.
I have this DVD playing in my car and at home.
Great 5.1 DTS Sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just finished watching this DVD on a 50 inch widescreen TV, with a Yamaha RX-V1400 amp. As many people point out, the videos have not been re-processed, but I have seen worse out there. For the age of the material the transfer was not that bad, and was not so distracting. The videos are full screen, but do not look overly stretched on my widescreen TV
The best part is the DTS 5.1 remix on the videos, which is superior. The quality stands next to the Sting DTS Music DVDs. There is the obvious separation of instruments and backing vocals in the surround speakers, and the .1 bass is done very well. NOTE: The special feature live music does not have the 5.1 remix. There are also interviews in the special features, for those interested. Overall, I enjoyed the DVD, and will watch/listen to the videos again. Just listening to the 5.1 mix of the videos is worth the price of admission. Great Sound!!!
I picked this up locally for less than the on line price, and recommend this DVD.
Disappointing
I loaded this DVD and immediately cued up "Don't Stand So Close To Me", my favorite Police song. The sound seemed a bit off, and the video was surprisingly bad. Reviews here warned me that the video hadn't been cleaned up, and it hadn't, but it was something else. I put in my copy of "Every Breath You Take"; a collection of videos on VHS released in 1986, which also includes "Don't Stand So Close To Me". I picked a random frame, and did a freeze frame at the same spot on both my VCR and DVD so I could switch back and forth between the two. I was amazed at how much better the VHS looked than the DVD. And this tape is *19 years old* and has been played many, many times.
As for the songs being sped up, I did one quick check. My DVD player reports "Don't Stand So Close To Me" as being 3:53. My vinyl copy of "Zenyatta Mondatta" lists the time as 4:03.
It's been available on audio CD since 1985 (now in a newly-remastered edition), but the long-awaited release of the DVD version of Bring on the Night will be a cause for celebration for fans of both Sting and the Police. Directed by Michael Apted (Coal Miner's Daughter, Gorky Park, Enough), the film observes Sting and his new band as they rehearse and then perform their first concert, in Paris. The musicians, including Branford Marsalis (sax), Kenny Kirkland (keyboards), Darryl Jones (bass), Omar Hakim (drums), and two backing vocalists, are all superb, all with strong jazz backgrounds but a good feel for rock as well; and Sting's then-new material, drawn from his The Dream of the Blue Turtles album, is among the best of his solo career,...

I was really impressed when I originally saw this on WKAR TV. However, I must say I am even more impressed since purchasing this DVD for my collection. What I really enjoyed as well as the concert was how they captured the rehearsing and arranging of the music prior to the concert. This is something you don't often get a chance to see or hear and it truly was exciting. I'm impressed that Sting was able to pull this off with such a short window of time with band members who have never actually played with him.

I still remember the micholob commercials for this tour. The invisible touch tour was one of the highest grossing tours of the 80s along with phil collins's own tours. This was a phenomenal tour but, just like every other tour dvd, the entire show is featured. What is shown is incredible mixture of pop and rock. Regardless if you liked the album invisible touch this dvd shows the extent of the genesis musicianship. There is 2 forms of genesis. There is the studio side and there is the live side. 2 very different bands. This dvd caputures genesis at the height of their popularity and musical ability. the dvd has great acoustics and has multiple sound options for you. Listen to the guitar work on los endos. Phils drum work is incredible and he uses a mixture of electric and... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 23 March 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours
