Police,The Police/UK 8.24.1979

Since their debut, they have toured the US energetically, and on August 24, 1979, just before their breakthrough with their second album, “White Regatta,” they appeared at the annual Reading Festival in the UK, and this is a complete recording from a good audience master for the time. While there have been many live recordings from this period, it is still a pleasure to be able to listen to a complete set of their youthful, wild performances, centered around numbers from their first and second albums. The re-encore performance of “Next to You” is also a gem that can be said to be unique to this time. 01. Introduction / Deathwish/02. Next To You/03. So Lonely/04. Truth Hits Everybody/05.
