Trivia
Earlier that day Stewart Copeland talked to the BBC's Andy Hudson. After lunch and soundcheck The Police returned to Sting's parents. Phil Sutcliffe attended the concert.
Photographer Howard Sherwood had seen Sting many times when he still performed with Last Exit. He was surprised to see him in Cherry Vanilla's backing band and talked to him after the gig. He bought one of the first 50 Fall Out singles - autographed by Sting - for 50p.
