Just a cast away an island lost at sea-o
Another lonely day, no one here but me-o
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair-o

They opened their reunion shows, a few years back, with this one. FAR superior to this track from '83 when they had the trio of chick backup singers.
Copeland one of the best drummers of ALL time

Cool
The faster tempo on their live songs is great. Who wants to go to a concert and hear the exact studio version?!
Favorite song by them!

Man I wish I had someone to rollerskate with!
OK if I hear another person say how young they are and that they like a band that was around before they were born...
Music like this is supposed to be enjoyed by people of all ages so there are people your age that like enjoy it too

http://www.y o u t u b e . c o m / w a t c h ? v = V x X C S 1 8 R Y K Q Love this version.
Hmm, judging by the repetitive comments below, this MIGHT be a little fast.
Loved hearing it live at last years CURACAO North Sea Jazz Festival
Don't like too many live recordings, but I love the Police live. They liberally overdubbed additional instruments on the studio recordings, and usually performed more sparse arrangements of their songs live since it was only the three guys. The live versions sounding even remotely like the studio versions proved that those cats could really blow.
Thumbs down. Don't like it live very much. It's a great song, though, and I will listen to this live version this once, but I don't like it.
its not as good as the recorded version because the police were not that great live

a studio band for sure
Yeah this sounds and is too fast. A common issue between the members of the band was to play fast or slower. Nonetheless a great band and songs.

This recording is not very good. The Police are good but this recording just sounds dissonant and you lose the melody of the song.
im 12 and the police r one of my favorite bands!!!!!!! !

I'm only 9 and I have the whole album on my MP3, I love it, so does my dad.
piersoe3
this is faster than the studio version
this song is realy good Im only 11 but Ithink THE POLICE are really cool
i like it its up beat and really cool im only 15 but there still really cool
This version is way too fast. I dunno if copeland was on speed or what, but I cant even enjoy the song when its played this fast.
bobthewonder d u c k
the sparseness of Andy's guitar is unlike the recorded version
This version of the song feels rushed. It's playing double speed... lame
