Gadzooks! I dimly remember that. I'd love to know how on earth it came to pass. (Rowan Atkinson's presence is explained by the event, but everyone else?!)

This is the best live rendition of LOVE LESSONS, one of my favorite tracks! Probably the only live performance, am I wrong Jeff?
I have it on vhs tape...I love it!!!!!
Thanks for sharing the link, it's good to remember such great stuff!
Were you there as well?
Gio

By the way, did you took pics while on tour with The Police and Stewart solo tour? Why don't you release a picture book???

Gio,
I believe this is the only live performance of Love Lessons.
I was not at the taping.
Regarding a picture book??? I am considering a photo and tour stories collection.

I've posted this before in another thread about this video, but it's probably worth showing again.

Got to ask Mark King about this years ago. Here was his response: (Sorry if I'm an annoyance about this).

"Oh yeah................. This was on the Wogan show and was one of the first Children in Need nights, 1985 I think. We had a call from Stewart Copeland’s office asking if I could play bass in a band he was putting together for the night.
I jumped at the chance, as like you I thought Stewart Copeland was a cool drummer and we could really get our teeth into something here – but wait! Stewart wanted to play guitar, not drums – bummer!
Anyway, we were joined by Mark Brzezicki on drums, Rowan Atkinson on tambourine (he is quite a ‘fusion’ fan and plays very well), and Nick Kershaw on guitar. I had a good time."

How many songs did Stewart and Derek Holt write when they wrote the Droids theme? Besides the theme and "Love Lessons" I remember hearing at least one other song used in one of the Droids episodes (the Great Heap).

And more importantly, who is going to play Jeff Seitz when the books is optioned as a movie???!!

amazing...simply amazing... I remember won Danny's photo book "THE POLICE CONFIDENTIAL" at Outlandos Fan Club answered the question who are the roadies of Stewart, Andy & Sting 8) ... A tour stories collection will be a superb collective item of The Police... Like Conroy said, why not transfer it into a movie script :roll: Who knows what happened with Tam Fairgrieve (Andy's roadie)?

I'm sorry, I just had to laugh when I thought of Mr. Bean jamming with Stewart. :lol:
