Trivia
As the ad in Rock & Folk (November 1977) shows a concert in Lyon was planned for today at the Palais d'Hiver. This was cancelled as well as the 2nd Paris concert on 1977-10-21.
By this time Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland had already joined Eberhard Schoener in Germany while Sting and the Electric Chairs travelled back to England.
Wayne County drummer J.J. Johnson:
"Sting and myself travelled back from Paris to the Sea ferry in Calais in a small Citroen car hired by 'The Police' for the " Tour " and were really "Pissed off" and debated the situation for most of the journey, praising each others playing even debating about getting together for a " Musical Jam", (Obviously it didn't happen ! )
I think, Stewart and Andy Summers travelled from Paris on to Germany to do some work and gigs with a German Composer, and Sting was going to travel from England to join them later.
Sting drove on to the Ferry, and I left Sting at the Dockside as I had to wait for the rest of 'The Electric Chairs' to travel back to a later Ferry in Calais in the bandwagon, as they had my Passport, Ticket, etc, after several hours, "by sheer chance" I spotted the Bandwagon over in the distance and chased it for about a quarter of a mile, running through several checkpoints and onto the Ship !
And we all returned to England !
What a Mess !"
