Trivia
The Police did not sell out the original venue (Zentralstadion). Instead of cancelling this concert they changed to the smaller Messehalle 1. This is not really a concert hall as its name indicates. Although it looks ugly and the sound wasn't perfect everywhere The Police and the audience had a good time. Sting was clearly surprised about the audience's performance during Roxanne.
The band didn't perform perfect, but they were able to laugh away a few obvious mistakes.
Sting arrived in Leipzig only about an hour before the concert started - being the only passenger of a private jet landing at Leipzig's airport. Clearly a waste of fuel...
The support act wasn't Scouting For Girls as was announced on tickets and in the press. Arno Carstens performed instead.
