Rocketing to stardom and worldwide fame in the early 1980s, Andy
Summers, Stewart Copeland and Sting - better known as the Police -
boldly revitalized the 1970s rock 'n' roll scene with their
signature fusion of punk, New Wave and reggae sounds. Despite a
host of hit singles, including "Roxanne," "Message in a Bottle" and
"Every Breath You Take," five smash albums and six Grammy Awards
between 1980 and 1984, the Police parted ways in 1986, with
frontman Sting embarking on a successful solo career. More than two
decades after the break-up and 30 years since the initial release
of "Roxanne," Sting, Summers and Copeland teamed up one last time
in 2007 to launch the band's farewell tour. GREAT PERFORMANCES
captures the Police in this once-in-a-lifetime concert from Buenos
Aires, Argentina.
