Trivia
The Police arrived at the venue in separate cars around 4:15pm. The soundcheck started at 4:35pm.
Andy Summers played "Freude schöner Götterfunken" (Ode to joy) on his guitar, being accompanied by Sting and Stewart Copeland for a very short time.
Together with Elvis Costello and his band The Police rehearsed the songs they would perform at the TV taping on 2008-08-06 at the Apollo. Sunshine Of Your Love was played three times until everybody was satisfied with the structure and performance. Then they all played a combination of Costello's Watching The Detectives and Walking On The Moon a few times. The problem was finding the right way to blend those two songs together. At one point Sting addressed Stewart: "Stewart, why don't you - and I don't believe I'm actually asking you this - why don't you one of your big Copeland fills there...?" They worked it out and began playing Purple Haze around 5:05pm. The soundcheck ended at 5:15pm.
Immediately after the soundcheck Stewart Copeland met nutters backstage. Andy Summers was joined by his sons and their friends.
