This week sees "Spectacle: Elvis Costello with The Police" on Wednesday, January 7.
Elvis Costello and The Police reunite after touring in an action-packed hour that includes individual interviews with Sting, Andy and Stewart, as well as a fantastic group session.
The show will reveal the chemistry that made The Police the biggest band in the world in the 1980s.
From Sundance:
In addition to the illuminating talk, there's plenty of great music: Sting illustrates the original incarnation of "Roxanne", the song which put The Police on the map; Sting and Elvis harmonize together on an Elvis gem; Andy and Elvis team up for a bit of jazz; and, for the finale, Elvis and his band, The Imposters, join forces with The Police for an unprecedented "mash-up" of a Costello classic and a Police essential, as well as a surprising cover of a time-tested hard rock anthem.
