Certifiable (Live) [Audio Version] – The PoliceView More By The Police Our ReviewCertifiable boasts a whopping 19 songs from the Police's 2007 reunion concert at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Right from the first verse of "Message In a Bottle," Sting is singing with the well-preserved voice of a young man, hitting his high-notes with an effortless cool even more noticeably on the opening howls at the beginning of "Synchronicity II." Similarly, Stewart Copeland's drumming prowess hasn't lost any luster as evidenced by "Walking On the Moon" and technically he's a better player in that those live tempos don't speed up when letting loose on his signature reggae and ska-inspired fills. (If you've ever seen old live footage of guitar player Andy Summers yelling at Copeland to slow down, you might notice this right away).

What is most satisfying is how The Police have managed to make these songs w Mistake in the official iTunes Review (4 stars) Who wrote this iTunes Review?!! Andy Summers is the GUITAR player in the Police, STING is the bass player. Even someone with a passing knowledge of the Police knows this. Sheesh! BiographyFormed: 1977 in London, EnglandGenre: Rock Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s Nominally, the Police were punk rock, but that's only in the loosest sense of the term. The trio's nervous, reggae-injected pop/rock was punky, but it wasn't necessarily punk. All three members were considerably more technically proficient than the average punk or new wave band. Andy Summers had a precise guitar attack that created dense, interlocking waves of sounds and effects. Stewart Copeland could play polyrhythms effortlessly. And Sting, with his high, keening voice, was capable of constructing...
