Around the world

"Despite the remastered audio and video specifically upgraded for this documentary's first appearance on DVD/Blu-ray etc., nothing can be done about the slipshod editing, sophomoric camera angles, fuzzy video, cut-aways to the threesome's silly off-stage shenanigans, and overall dated quality of the production. Most egregious though, few if any songs are here in their entirety. Instead, the editors frustratingly decided to cut away from the concert footage in favor of following Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland mingling and clowning around with locals at locations as far-flung as India, Egypt, Australia, Greece, Japan, and other places ... However, the package also includes a CD of previously unreleased live versions of eleven tunes, all from the outfit's initial two albums. These are well worth hearing as they capture the trio charging through the songs with crackling energy and intensity even the classic studio versions only hinted at".
