Its great seeing a young Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland make their way across the U.S. for the first time in 1978. The Police seem to be having so much fun in the early days, like three friends on the vacation of the lifetime. Watching all this rare live footage, only makes me wish that there was an accompanying soundtrack to go with this documentary of some classic live music from The Police.
It seems like in no time at all that The Police quickly rose from an opening act to headliners, as the audiences continued to grow all over the world. Highlights of the documentary for me, include seeing rare footage of The Police working together in the recording studio and how relaxed they seemed to be in this environment. Copeland's monotone, spoken-word descriptions allow you to focus on the visuals, as he provides input to each situation to the best of his recollection.
As The Police finally reached the top of the hill of success, the band disbanded and each member went their own direction, but at least we have this footage of what it was like during those eight glorious years together.
