Andy Summers signs Throb books and leaves with a shopping bag full of gifts, such as flowers and cookies. As his limousine got lost on its way to Randhurst the real Chicago Police escorted him back to the expressway.
The Police went into Universal Recording Corporation (studio A) in Chicago and recorded their live set.
Jeff Seitz remembers: "I recall that on a day off during the Synchronicity tour, we loaded in to a Chicago recording studio with the entire stage setup: risers, monitors and all. The idea was to capture the band's onstage performance in their prime, with minimal vocals, with the intent of adding them later. The date was 02/18/1984. Sting was not singing at performance level to save his voice. We were in the middle of the tour and had a show the night before and two back to backs coming up."
