Comments: An ALD recording from relatively early in the Police's 2007-2008 reunion tour was posted on DIME in early 2008; it was discovered that the ALD was out of phase -- I don't fully understand what that means, but essentially it means that one of the channels was somehow reversed, resulting in a sub-optimal sound. A corrected version was posted by "hildie" in March 2008 to address the issue. I admit that I don't fully understand the lineage, but this version sounded quite a bit better than the original and in fact, I think it's one of the better-sounding recordings from the Police's reunion tour.

In terms of performance, I have a hard time distinguishing one night from the other. This was a great nostalgia show, and the band was well-rehearsed and did a good job reproducing their hits from one night to the next with few deviations. I like the early part of the tour because the setlist was longer (roughly 120 minutes) than the end (about 105 minutes), by which time they'd cut some of the material that appears in this show.

Now that we're a few years removed from their reunion and the excitement has worn off, I don't think it's necessary to have more than a couple shows from this tour -- but I think this one should survive the cut. The sound, for an ALD recording, is very good.

On August 26, 2005, Dutch Radio2 [as part of the program 'Zomerfestival'] re-broadcasted the live recording of The Police at the Pinkpop festival 1979. This was a MAJOR upgrade (based on sound quality) to the various recordings I already had of this performance!

Also, this broadcast included two songs which were never broadcasted in the past: 'Truth Hits Everybody' and 'Peanuts.' This recording still misses the very first song ('Can't Stand Losing You,' which was performed twice). According to the DJ (which you can hear at the end of this recording) this first song was not recorded or is no longer in the archives of the radio station.

Comments: 
This show was recorded for FM broadcast and has appeared in trading circles many times over the years. It was torrented in this form in spring 2006; the recording was used for a weekly syndicated radio show called "Studio Jam" in the 1980s (the bands were not necessarily in the studio, which makes the title somewhat confusing) and this recording was cited as a pre-FM for that source. The quality is excellent....

This is straight from the mastertape. The only editing I did was that in the first 21 seconds of the Track 1 the right channel had static, so I pasted in a bit from the left channel. I have not done any other editing, EQing, filtering, or any kind of tampering with the sound.

This isn't pristine FM but it is enjoyable. This is the last show of the 1979/1980 world tour, and a sort of home comeback for Sting. BBC broadcasted this show a bit less than a week after the gig took place. The band played two shows (hence the short duration of each single gig) and this is the late show.

runtime: 81:01 (minutes/seconds) 

notes
it's most of a high energy show. there is some crowd obstruction and loud clapping in a few parts but most of it sounds pretty good. a section of walking on the moon is missing but spliced, so it's probably not even noticable. Sting mentions playing there a few months earlier and screws up the lyrics near the end of Roxanne. overall it was a good performance though. recording was said to be made on a boom box type recorder.

The Police were so good this night that the audience would not let them leave. As you will hear Sting explain, they ran out of songs to perform so they played "Can't Stand Losing You" twice. The final encore is a killer. Enjoy this one.
