Yeah. I can't get either the RealPlayer or Quicktime streams to work (and, with all due respect, I'm not putting Windows Media on my Mac...it won't work anyway.)

Yeah, Stewart seems to get the most screen time. Talking about his drums, "...so beautiful. And I will smack them and hurt them because they are so beautiful. That's how much I love them, that I will whack them and beat them." Ha ha ha!

get flip4mac.. it allows you to play windows media files through quicktime... and it is free. Windows media Player for the mac is awful. Actually, microsoft bought up the flip4mac thing, and are going to distribute it officially instead of windows media player from now on (for mac).

They fixed it fast, I posted over there and in minutes they responded and then it worked.

Can I just state here and now that I think I'm going crazy. I watched that Grammy video and it gets me so pumped up, I am just heading home to fire up my delay unit and start drumming. It is very motivating to me. I still watch the Monserratt doc from that anniversery DVD with Jools Holland...I can't, I can't...can't get enough of this stuff.

I hope this new footage will be on a DVD...Please!!!!!!!

I could watch a documentary like that for hours and hours. I think it is simply subconciously (sorry spelling) living through them, dreaming of what it would be like to have sucess in music, to be with your buddies fighting and all. The whole thing.

Maybe it's just how Stewart talks about his drums....he is sooooo right....my chariot!!!

Best video clip ever!!!

Cheers!!!!!

I hope the burger wasn't too cold, Stewart Copeland.

Yes, I call him by his full name. If Jesus had a last name, you would too (pending if you're religious or not, I'm not but for example it works.)

Heh I sure hope so--you can say I called it if it happens (grin)--was just the background score to like the first 1 min of the clip though--it would indeed be kinda cruel for them to do that and not play it (giggle)

So, you're saying you were hearing the studio version? I assumed they were jamming out on it by your post, sorry to misinterpret. So it's *not* really proof, but yet another tease! :roll: I still keep catching all these references and hoping! I'm even keeping a scorecard of clues:

1) It popped up twice in the movie

2)Stewart has referred to it specifically in interviews as overlooked.

3)Stewart mentioned at the Whiskey they would be playing songs they've never played live before.

4)It was one of three tunes in the mix on policetour's stream that day.

5)It's in this new video clip! :shock:

Alright, I'm convinced! :) Stop the press and declare a holiday!! That's the smoking gun to me, baby!!! :lol:
