Setlist

Recording information

There's a recording of this concert.

Trivia

Around 12:40pm The Police flew from Berlin to Düsseldorf. They arrived around 1:40pm and drove to Dortmund. They stayed at the Parkhotel very close to today's venue.

Support act A Flock Of Seagulls had to cancel at the last minute.

The result was that a group of roadies played as the support act on that day only:

They played four rock classics in about 15 minutes, one being The Who's "Can't Explain".

There were (only) 8.000 people in the audience.
