I saw this tour at Blossom(near Cleveland) in 1985. The band reworked studio tracks (including Police) into new creations. Tremendous show.

Reminds of the first time I saw Sting. It was in his hometown on the Soul Cages tour. His best album I think.

I did not now sting was so full of shit, this band as racial as it is… he is the only white folk…. Color won’t ever stop music touching the Herat of everyone when it’s well made. So he was woke in the 90’s good thing has come for that.

1:17:56

One of my favourite music documentary. I was a jazz sax player and loved this.

Not a word about Daryll playing the bass in the greatest rock'nroll band of all times ?

Look how young he was..

Dolette McDonald is very attractive.

The only double album I ever bought.

What a musician!!!!

I think Branford and Darryl are far smarter and are certainly better musicians than Sting ever was or will be. I also think the film on the whole shows what can happen if an artist has too much creative licence/smoke blown up their rear end.

I remember sitting front row centre at festival hall in Melbourne watching this gig and the 1st time I saw the most incredible drummer and I was so lucky that I was able to meet the whole band including sting and got photos and autographs from the whole band!! A memory that I’ll never forget

Thanks for sharing.

I was so enamored with Sting and the Police at 11. I went to Blockbuster and rented this. Ya, I'm old. And yes I was jealous because that other woman got to have his babies 😅😅 I'm older than he was in the documentary now. I'd still like to have his babies 😊

Shakespeare reincarnated! Sting disbands the #1 Band in the world the Police '84 & begins a new chapter writing & playing with accomplished Black Jazz Musicians & bit risky & it all paid off

Does anyone know what the name of the piece that Kenny is playing at 22:10 ?

What a gorgeous band ❤ And he made this masterpiece album just few months after finishing the Synchonicity tour with his bandmates of Police , what an accomplished artist he is.

What an incredibly talented bunch of people. Great to see a load of like minded players in a room having a good time making music regardless of race etc. beautiful

Musically I don't think this has dated well

これを見たかった私の青春ですアップありがとうございます❤😂

I wonder if he paid his bandmates the same money? Just a thought.

Directed by Micheal Apted : )

4m05s~ Unheard by the microphones but, the reporter must have addressed Sumner by "Gordon." My Goodness! What a song & dance Gordon then makes of the dirty, gritty little fact that nobody calls him "Gordon!" Shock, horror! Not even his mam! Not even his children! Woah! WHO IS THIS Gordon CHARACTER , Sir . . . ? What an altogether mithering non person Gordon Sumner can be.

Musicians have their own unique language and it transcends race etc. Who would have a rock star like Sting would play with jazz musicians.

Great channel but not sure the pc 9 flights full speed 😊

I still have this on VHS. I was given the cassette back in 1988 and as a13 year old new drummer it was the best thing to happen to me. It taught me to be versatile and musical and to use my ears. Omar! I was already a Police fan but Dream of the Blue Turtles sent me on the right path. This is a great documentary. Ya gotta love the Daryl Jones giant turtleneck sweater!

Ух ты. Даже не знал, что такой фильм есть с ним. Спасибо!

Imagine a JAZZ group 1:31:00 getting that kind of reception. It just would not happen now.

Blue Turtles remains one of my favourite albums ever. I was 13 when it came out. I love all the stories on it. Russians has sadly become pertinent again. I'm glad that people are giving the 80s their due now. It was a time when artistry, world music, jazz, blues, and pop, all came together. The fact that it was also the age of Reagan and Thatcher was overplayed, it was irrelevant. This album re-enforced my desire to explore jazz. After Nothing Like The Sun came out (Gil Evans ffs!!)I went up to London, to Farringdon Records, and bought the Branford Marsalis album Renaissance, and Courtney Pines Journey to the Urge Within and a lifelong journey began. I had a chance to go and see Sting in 1987 on the Nothing Life the Sun tour, for some reason i didnt go. My friend came home telling me his mum was waiting outside Wembley Arena and she could hear everyone singing Message In A Bottle. I really missed a moment in time. If Blue Turtles came out today, even if it was Sting, it would be seen as 'leftfield', or 'pretentious' (lol it was then to be fair, by the NME crowd). Everyone is lost in their social media silos and they've closed their minds. Fortress Around my Heart always reminds me of my first proper girlfriend oddly (not for a lyrical association, just the song). She bought me Nothing Like the Sun when it came out. I'm glad to say we're still friends, almost 40 years later.

Gosh. This is a 1985 (1986) taping and we thought THIS was Sting’s mastery. Wow! How much more did he level upon this earth via his artistic lens???❤

Sting the best...i love this movie🎶🎵🎸

Estuve en el estreno ( Argentina)

My favorite sting song, grew up in a seafaring village, love this one

Большое спасибо за этот фильм!ни разу не удавалось посмотреть его целиком…И наконец-то это случилось.

J'ignorais que le début de sa carrière se lançât en France.

Sting 3.0 ❤

Such a pleasure to watch all of these masters. But especially Omar for me. RIP Kenny. ❤️

Great documentary; very well made;all gifted musicians in their own right.The back-up singers were magnificent as well from very different professions- they all came together for this unforgettable collaboration; Stings musical life, giving birth to his solo project and his wife giving birth to their son were completely parallel and not lost on any spectator. I have so much respect for Sting-his good heart, his poetry, his calling out racism in the music industry, his visible and palpable love for what he creates and for his fellow musicians. Creativity beyond measure. “ Fragile” is his best song . Kudos. MBT 7/5/24

Amazing and unexpected footage of Baby Jake coming into the world; now nearly 40 yo. Time flies; even if you're not having fun....

Back when art, pop, jazz, etc. could all exist in the same space. Even the cinematography - it was shot on 35mm! Still a great joy to watch this after all these years.

Sounding fantastic, a hidden gem but always one of my favourites since 1991

The evening spreads itself against the sky is a T.S. Eliot poem. It's stolen. Music is plagiarism

What a wonderfully edited film ... the old Sting Meister's charm speaks for itself and the band banter is pure craic , 90 sure , thanks .

I didn’t know Stiffler could sing!

Cool video! Omar Hakim is amazing. Darrell Jones (bass) went on to join the Stones for 30 years now. I saw Sting with the Police in 2008 - one of the best shows ever! I could not believe I was in the same room as Sting!

Saw this band at the Albert Hall in London. They were astonishing. Every time I've seen Omar Hakim play he's blown me away.

yo that old lady in the wheelchair was being HAULED lmao

I had this on vhs. Oh my god, where did that go.

Reharsals much better than the gig.
