We’re eschewing our regular The Kidzz Are Alright end-of-the-week segment of ‘Tubes in favor of the following video, which can only be described as “sweet ass sweet,” or “fantastically bitchin’.” Let’s start
This post marks the end of The Police Week here on Hidden Track. But we have one more treat to share before signing off: We’ve got full audio of the band’s opening gig from Monday night in Vancouver, as well as a review of the band’s first disaster gig in 23 years from Stewart Copeland himself.
The choice is yours: You can download the entire show in two separate segments, or you can go song by song below. Color us fairly impressed with the new arrangements of old songs, but these guys clearly need to get a few more shows under their collective belt before they hit a groove. Hopefully they’ll tighten up and fly right by the time they come through the East Coast…
Setlist: Message In A Bottle, Synchronicity II, Don’t Stand So Close To Me, Voices Inside My Head > When The World Is Running Down…, Spirits In The Material World, Driven to Tears, Walking On The Moon, Truth Hits Everybody, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Wrapped Around Your Finger, The Bed’s Too Big Without You, Murder By Numbers, De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da, Invisible Sun, Walking In Your Footsteps, Can’t Stand Losing You, Roxanne
Encore: King Of Pain, So Lonely, Every Breath You Take

For the life of me, I can’t think of a single thing that connects the artists on this week’s Mix Tape to one another, or each song to one another, for

The singer in the Police jumps like a "petulant pansy," the drummer is making a "complete hash," and who knows what the guitarist is doing? Notes from a bitter critic?
Supergroup Awesomeness ain’t just for the first-tier all-stars. Whoever said the lesser-known jazz and funk musicians of our generation can’t have some fun, too?
The unheralded but probably pretty fucking awesome Fully Loaded resurfaced for a show out in San Francisco recently, and now they’re taking their “six shots of deadly funk” on the road. The band, formed by saxomophonist Cochemea “Cheme” Gastelum, features GBA’s Chris Stillwell on bass, Will Bernard on guitar, Chuck Prada on percussion, Anthony Farrell on keys and perpetual free-agent Adam Deitch on the kit. The potential for nastiness is on its way eastward…
Let’s take a quick listen to Fully Loaded rip a mean Bidi Man, a song written by Chris Stillwell and made famous by those lovable Greyboy Allstars.
Everyone’s favorite new-shirted keyboardist returned to his familiar perch last night in support of the release of his eponymous album. Page McConnell gathered his four new bandmates and kicked off a brief 13-show tour of the East Coast, the Midwest and Georgia last night at Higher Ground in Burlington. You gotta hand it to the guy for really checkin’ out some new venues…
His ol’ bandmate from the popular rock band Phish, Mike Gordon, sat in on Back in the Basement (click here to watch the jam on YouTube), probably causing some serious “We’re Halfway to Phish” erections from the Vermont faithful. We’ll be seeing Page on Monday night when he rolls through Irving Plaza (sorry, it ain’t the Fillmore to me, yet), and I’m sure we’ll have a full report on whether he’s still sticking that foul thing in his ear.
