I've recorded the whole song on video
with my small camera recorder.
I can e-mail the link to you if interested.
All the best, Seb

: [Police] It Happened! Padovani On
Stage With The Police
I just checked YouTube and sure enough there
were two "Next To You" footage from the event. Even though the
second footage is only 42 seconds, you get to hear Henri playing a little
bit of solo while Andy's holding the riff. It's not a life changing experience
but hey, it's history. I so wish they took a shot at "Fall Out"
instead, though. Why not take the risk for a couple of nights for a change?
PARIS (AFP) - The rock band trio The Police on Monday received a French
award for their contribution to the arts after playing two sell-out concerts
in Paris.
French Culture Minister Christine Albanel conferred the Order of the Arts
and Letters on Britons Gordon Sumner (Sting) and Andy Summers and American
Stewart Copeland.
Albanel praised the 80s group for the "new sound" that they generated
and expressed "France's full admiration and recognition" for
the band's music.
"We are very touched because we deeply admire French culture,"
Sting told reporters in French following the brief ceremony at the culture
ministry in Paris.
He jokingly commented that as British subjects, he and Summers found it
"very exotic" to be made "chevaliers" of the order
of the French republic.
Albanel praised Sting's "charisma and uncommon character" and
noted that the first guitarist recruited to be part of the initial group
in 1977 was Frenchman Henry Padovani, who was ousted after Summers joined
that year.
Padovani joined the trio on stage in Paris on Saturday to perform "Next
To You", marking the first stage appearance of all four band members
since the tour was launched in May.
Thirty years after the band was formed, The Police -- now in their mid-fifties
and 60s -- are back on stage, performing such vintage hits as "Roxanne"
-- about a Paris prostitute -- "Message In A Bottle" and "Every
Breath You Take."
Close to 80,000 fans packed a stadium north of Paris on Saturday and Sunday
to hear The Police, who will wrap up their European tour this month before
heading back to the Americas ahead of concert dates in Australia, New Zealand
and Asia next year.
Shortly before noon on Monday, Sting, Summers and Copeland caused a commotion
when they arrived at the culture ministry on rented bicycles that are part
of the city's newest environmentally-friendly scheme.
