Video summary
The Police played at the Théâtre de l'Empire in Paris on 1979-12-03. This partial recording of that concert was first broadcast on December 23, 1979 on French TV.
The 3 DVD set also includes concerts by The Clash and ZZ Top, as well as shorter performances by Dire Straits, The Pretenders, Elvis Costello, The Cure, The Jam, Madness etc...
Production
The Police played a very loud soundcheck. Miles Copeland was told that they had to lower the volume for the actual performance as the presenters of the Chorus TV show cared about the health of their audience and staff (concerning the noise level). He didn't care. When The Police's concert was even louder several cameramen protested by pointing their cameras towards the floor and stopped filming.
There were about 600-700 people at this concert.
After the concert The Police received a critic's award. The last scene in Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out (with handcuffs on the rooftop) was filmed in Paris on this day.
