Trivia
Apparently The Police intended to play in Auckland's Town Hall today, but this was re-scheduled to 1980-03-04. So the band was planning a 2nd concert in Christchurch today, which was officially cut short as Sting lost his voice.
This concert probably never happened at all. Sting really had voice problems, but Andy Summers also had to face the law after yesterday's incident at Christchurch airport.
