Quotations and trivia

In his book Wild Thing Ian Copeland mentions that he booked The Police for three shows at the China Sports and Cultural Center in Taipei, Taiwan. These shows were cancelled due to Sting's throat infection. There's no place in the concert timeline for these shows, but it looks like the booking process was always a work in progress...

The Kit Kat Club in Bangkok and another club in Singapore were considered for concerts as well - probably for 1980-03-22 and 1980-03-23 respectively. These concerts were not played, probably because the rescheduled Australian dates were considered more important.
