Police/NY,USA 1983 Complete

The fateful show where Sting decided to end THE POLICE. Here is a live album that lets you experience the whole story in the best way. The fateful show was the “August 13, 1983 New York City performance”. It is a super clear audience recording recorded at the legendary “Shea Stadium” of the Beatles. This show is famous for the fact that Sting felt “Today is the Everest of THE POLICE” during the performance and decided to leave the band. When was that? Let’s take a look back at the whole view of the “SYNCHRONICITY Tour” and see for yourself. 1983 {June 1st release of “SYNCHRONICITY”} July 23rd – September 11th: North America #1 (31 performances) ←★Here★ September 17th – October 14th: Europe (18 performances) October 28th – November 28th: ​​North America #2 (21 performances) ←※Official December 8th – 31st: UK (16 performances) 1984 January 30th + 31st: Italy (2 performances) February 4th – 25th: North America #3 (14 performances) February 29th – March 4th: Oceania (3 performances) {THE POLICE stopped activities} This is THE POLICE in 1983/1984. The Atlanta performance, which was also the official work “LIVE!” and “SYNCHRONICITY CONCERT”, is famous for this tour, but the New York performance of this work is much earlier than that. This was the 16th concert of “North America #1”, about two and a half months after the album was released. This work, which vacuum-packed a very special show, is also of special quality. It’s simply clear and vivid. As is familiar from the Beatles’ footage, the “Shea Stadium” where the show took place is an open-space baseball field, and it’s easy to see that the PA’s sound is picked up with zero echo. Of course, if the outdoor venue is far from the PA itself, it will be sparse, but there is no need to worry about that with this work. Although the tone has a sense of space, the dense core response, the tight contours without a sense of distance, and the detailed details of the bass are all outside the standards of audience recording. Such an ultra-tight sound depicts a set that sums up the career and a full show that exudes a sense of accomplishment of climbing Everest. As mentioned above, the official work “LIVE!” is famous as a live album of the “SYNCHRONICITY Tour”, so let’s organize it by comparing them. Synchronicity (9 songs)・Synchronicity I／Synchronicity II／Walking in Your Footsteps／O My God／Wrapped Around Your Finger／Tea in the Sahara／King of Pain／Every Breath You Take／Murder by Numbers（★）Others (11 songs + α)・Outlandes d’Amour: Hole in My Life（★）／Roxanne／So Lonely／Can’t Stand Losin’ You (incl. Reggatta de Blanc)・White Regatta: Message in a Bottle／Walking On the Moon（★）・Zenyatta Mondatta: De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da／Don’t Stand So Close To Me・Ghost in the Machine: Spirits in the Material World／Invisible Sun（★）／One World (Not Three)（★）※Note: The ★ marks are songs that were not heard at the Atlanta performance of “LIVE!” … and so on. “LIVE!” was incomplete because it was to fit on one CD, but this work is a full live album that goes through all at once. You can enjoy four more songs of the repertoire that you couldn’t hear on the official version. In particular, “Murder by Numbers” is a video version of “SYNCHRONICITY CONCERT”, and you can enjoy a true full set seamlessly. And the wonderful performance that spins such a set. Although we deal with countless records of artists of many bands, there are very few shows where the artists themselves declare that “this is the end point”. Of course, we listen to it after knowing Sting’s words in advance, but the performance that flows out proves those words and does not allow any objections. And the MC of “We’d like to thank the Beatles for lending us their stadium”, which has now become legendary. Yes, what is packed into this work is the moment when the journey of the young man who roared at the time of his debut, “I will rewrite all the world records made by the Beatles in three years” ended. A super-realistic cultural heritage recording that allows you to enjoy a historical show that goes beyond the realm of mere performance with the best sound. The best audience recording of the “August 13, 1983 New York City performance”. The super clear and vivid tight sound is intense. Shea Stadium, famous for the legend of the Beatles, is an open-space baseball stadium, and it is easy to see that the PA output is picked up with zero echo. This is a cultural heritage album that allows you to witness the legendary full show where Sting realized the arrival of THE POLICE and decided to leave with the best quality.
