Last night, former Police members Stewart Copeland & Andy Summers joined Saul Hernandez of The Jaguares on stage at the House Of Blues (in Los Angeles) for a sold out show that marked the first time Summers and Copeland have performed on-stage together in over a decade.
After their highly energetic two-hour performance in front of an eager audience, The Jaguares who have acheived multi-platinum status in Mexico and whose music is profoundly influenced by The Police, invited Copeland & Summers on-stage to perform three songs from the critically acclaimed Outlandos D'Americas: A Rock En Espanol Tribute to The Police, including Does Everyone Stare (the track The Jaguares vocalist Saul Hernandez performs on the album), Demolition Man and Message In A Bottle. On the latter song, Ekhymosis' vocalist, the highly charismatic Juan Esteban Aristizabal, stepped into Sting's role for what was to be the truly stunning performance of the evening, Jaguares bass player Sabu and Papa from Bloque also augmented the lineup.
The night's show proved that Stewart Copeland is arguably one of the greatest drummers in the world with his intense visceral and powerfully energetic performance that was as vigorous as it was enthralling to watch. The crowd roared and the audience, predominantly Spanish speaking fans, became almost uncontrollable and security in the mosh pit had an intense time quelling the audience's fervor that emanated after witnessing all the performers take to the stage. It was only when Andy Summers arrived that a more reverential mood descended, as the audience beheld one of the world's most talented musician's. One could tell it was history in the making. The show highlighted the timelessness of the songs of The Police, one of the most successful bands in the world of the past 20 years and showed that these songs categorically transcended time or language.
