Trivia
The Police drive from Newcastle to Cambridge. They sell 31 Fall Out singles today. After the concert they notice that they lost the key for the truck, so they drive home to London in Sting's car.
The concert's organizer Lee Wood paid 60 UK pounds to The Police for this gig (which was in fact organized to promote a record by local support band The Users).
The Police played first, followed by The Users and the Cherry Vanilla band.
The Users thought that The Police's drummer was good at the soundcheck - the singer sounded rather like a donkey singing. The Police seemed very much like school teachers forming a "rock band". They were serious and didn't really talk to each other. Stewart Copeland read a paperback when not playing. It seemed like a career job for them - they were proficent & professional sounding... but without much spark or flair !
