The opportunity to see Sting in the '70s, fronting the band that brought him to prominence, is the main attraction of this hour-long, no-frills concert DVD. At this point (it was February 1979; the Police had released just one album), the onetime Gordon Sumner was 27 and something of a working-class ruffian, a far cry from the deep-thinking, rain forest-saving, refined world musician he would become. But he was already an outstanding singer and bass player, accompanied by a superb drummer (Stewart Copeland); a tasteful, atmospheric guitarist (Andy Summers); and a clutch of smart, catchy tunes. Those songs--like "Can't Stand Losing You," "Message in a Bottle," and of course "Roxanne"--are all here in this Hatfield, England, performance, with the band's irresistible blend of pop, punk, and reggae. You can see where the Police were headed, with albums like Synchronicity still to come, but they were pretty cool from jump. --Sam Graham
