Recording information

There's a (partial) recording of this concert. There are pauses between (sometimes incomplete) tracks. It seems that this recording is a mix of two sets performed on that day. After the first Next To You Sting says "See you later on...". Peanuts is announced to be played later on, as is Can't Stand Losing You - but they're not on the recording.

It might be a recording from 1978-10-29 as Sting thanks someone for the past three days and says good-bye to the audience until "next year".
