It all provides a rare glimpse into the combustible chemistry that made The Police the biggest band in the world in the 1980s. In addition to illuminating talk, there's plenty of amazing music: Sting illustrates the original incarnation of 'Roxanne'; Sting and Elvis harmonise together on an Elvis gem; Andy and Elvis team up for a bit of jazz; and, for the finale, Elvis and The Imposters join forces with The Police for an unprecedented mash-up of a Costello classic and a Police essential.
