Trivia

This date is not sure. 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.

So maybe there were two concerts. Maybe The Police: A Visual Documentary by Miles is wrong again and there was just one concert on 1977-10-21.

information from a Phil Sutcliffe article:

When The Police arrived in Paris they checked into a flea-ridden hotel behind the Gare Saint-Lazare. In the foyer, Sting noticed a poster for a Comédie Française production of Cyrano de Bergerac.... 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..."
