We’re gaining momentum as we approach the end of The Police Week on Hidden Track, and today we present a special edition of The B List: We’re featuring 10 amazing Police videos from our friends at GooTube. Check ’em out…

1. Let’s start with a clip from the opening night of the reunion tour. King of Pain has always been a favorite song of mine — the studio track on Synchronicity is full of layered vocals and all sorts of percussion instruments, making this song a challenge in concert. For this tour, The Police are playing it straight: The major difference between King of Pain from this tour and the Synchronicity tour is the lack of background singers. Sting changes the phrasing of his words, as apparently Andy and Stewart aren’t capable of backing him up vocally.

Check out the full version of King of Pain from opening night, as well as nine more great Police videos from their prime, after the jump…

We’ll start the morning off with some lighthearted douchebaggery. Our friend bcrider dug up this video of Built To Spill‘s Doug Martsch performing I Would Hurt a Fly on the

The Police Week rolls on at Hidden Track with a special edition of Grousing The Aisles. As we mentioned a few weeks ago, the fine people over at the forums on thepolice.com have been assembling the mother lode of Police bootlegs.

Wade Ellis Wilby has experienced many angles of the music biz. He’s written songs for Rane, headed up production at Higher Ground, and his latest gig has him working for Umphrey’s McGee. This past weekend Wade served as a jack of all trades for the Summer Camp festival, and he was kind enough to share his thoughts on the weekend…

If I ever thought Summer Camp was this great growing up as a kid, my parents would have had many more carefree summers.

As for the adult version, JAM Productions and Jay Goldberg have put together a great entertainment package at a quaint little site in the heart of America. It’s no wonder their numbers continue to grow — a huge thank you to them for all the hospitality and hard work. What a great weekend in Illinois.

This summer’s lineup was headlined, once again, by moe.‘s three nights, with Umphrey’s McGee opening on Friday and Saturday. This set-up makes for a great situation: moe. and UM have a great rapport with one another, and UM’s sharing the stage with them is not only very professional and easy, it’s also a blast. It also lends itself to both bands being extra comfortable, allowing for much better sets musically. Now, about those incredible sets…

Read on for the rest of Wade’s recap of Summer Camp, including the inside scoop on why Brendan Bayliss showed up to play in a dress and a feather boa.

A report in Monday’s New York Post cited Liv Tyler as the source of a rumor that her father Steven will be leaving Aerosmith due to the way the band’s been treating him.
