The Police at Day on the Green Sept 10, 1983 at the Oakland Coliseum - Message in a Bottle, Walking on the Moon, Wrapped Around Your Finger, Every Breath You Take, Roxanne, Can't Stand Losing
My first concert. Incredible Day on the Green with The Police, The Fixx, Thompson Twins, Madness and Oingo Boingo. Saw The Police 24 years later at the Oakland Coliseum again and they were great but not as good as this amazing concert.
I was also there at this show and I was such a huge fan of Sting and the Police. I was one of those screaming girls especially during the closeup of Sting when he changed his shirt. Lol. It was like a preview of him in the movie Dune, kinda.
What a sensational rendition of Roxanne. Its rare to see them going into serious reggae mode during Roxanne on their tour of 1983 which captures the feel of their early tours
Stuart Copeland is a madman. I'd listen to ANY band he was in, even today at ~70 years old. Quite a charismatic raconteur too. I didn't appreciate how good he was back in the day. I think an extended 'behind the scenes' documentary of their next comeback tour would be a hoot. The 3 personalities are perfect for comedy-drama gold. (Make it happen please guys).
