  • The Police

    One of my favourite aspects of the Police live, was their use of digital effects in combination with their accoustic playing. Stewart would trigger these drum effects live with delays. He’d use them on all the drums and symbols and the high hat. Essentially, he’d use them to continue rhythms that he started playing. This version of Walking on the Moon is one of my favourite examples. It’s most obvious on the high hat here.

    And the song that follows, Bring on the Night, is my favourite version of the song I’ve ever heard from any show, and is definitely better than the studio version which was a few years older. It took me forever to find the 1 in the rhythm, and I love Andy’s guitar part. Try counting as it switches from the verses to the choruses, and you realize the whole chorus sounds transposed by half a beat.
