This excellent video covers the band's career up until the 'Zenyatta Mondatta' album. Featuring extensive coverage and highlights mainly from their famous 1980 world tour, and many candid behind the scenes footage, this truly is a superb video about a groundbreaking band on a groundbreaking tour - and that's no hype. Some of the highlights include concert footage from Hong Kong, Japan, India, Egypt, Greece (the two minute Greek holiday), the boys riding camels around the pyramids, dressed as gauchos in Argentina, and a wild-eyed Sting losing it completely at a French show with someone in the audience - perhaps a security guy - calling them "you fuckin' bastard", prior to gobbing into the audience then leaning forward and hitting someone with the neck of his bass. Watch this video and then immediately watch the 'Synchronicity' Concert video. It's like watching two different groups.
