Setlist
Recording information
There's a (partial) recording of this concert. There are pauses between (sometimes incomplete) tracks. It seems that this recording is a mix of two sets performed on that day. After the first Next To You Sting says "See you later on...". Peanuts is announced to be played later on, as is Can't Stand Losing You - but they're not on the recording.
It might be a recording from 1978-10-29 as Sting thanks someone for the past three days and says good-bye to the audience until "next year".
Trivia
There were about 200 people in the audience.
The Police had to share a dressing room with support band Tracks. Their members and the Rat's sound engineer were impressed by The Police's concert. Sting didn't talk much to the support band, while Stewart Copeland was entertaining them with a mock British accent. Andy Summers was impressed that American bands owned real Fender or Gibson guitars while back in England people were settling for the cheaper copies.
