Trivia
It's not sure if The Police played one or two concerts in Paris, or any concert at all. Several books follow The Police: A Visual Documentary by Miles' information that The Police played here tonight. This night Sting supposedly walked through the red light district and had the idea for Roxanne. Literature mentions that there was ONE Nashville concert - but there's a ticket for both bands for a concert at the Nashville - this is for 1977-10-21. And there's an ad in Rock & Folk (November 1977 issue) with an ad for both nights + an ad for a third concert in France (Lyon, Palais d'Hiver on 1977-10-23).
information from a Phil Sutcliffe article:

Later Sting passed an alley full of prostitutes, some quite young. In his hotel room at night he combined these impressions to: "Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light..."
