Summary: EVERY LITTLE THING THEY DID WAS MAGIC
Review: I was lucky enough to get a copy of this show on tape while in college (many moons ago). Sad to say, the only copy I have left is a 3/4" master that I don't have a machine to play it on. Aside from the cheesy video graphics and a sometimes shaky (on purpose) camera shot, this is an excellent concert that showcases the raw talent of a very young Andy, Stewart, and Sting. I was lucky enough to catch them a few years later at the Warner Theatre on December 3, 1980 and at the Capital Centre (R.I.P.) on January 16, 1982 before they unfortunately pulled the plug on the whole affair. Truly a shame. I can't wait to add this dynamite show to my DVD collection. It is a definite message in a bottle (on a disc?) waiting to be enjoyed. Be sure to pick it up.

Summary: A great early performance from The Police!
Review: This is a fantastic early live show from one of the best live acts ever, and it's obvious that the bands chemistry was there early on. The boys sound great! The only negative is the short set list.(At this point,The Police had only released one album.) One point of interest here, is that the band plays "Message In A Bottle" for the 1st time ever in public. Sting calls it "A sort of babtism". Picture and sound quality are top notch. If you are any kind of Police or Sting Fan, you'll want to pick this one up as soon as it becomes available. I was lucky enough to get a hold of the Japanese version, which has already been released. Enjoy the show!
