Setlist

Recording information

There's a recording of this concert.

Trivia

This concert was taped for PayTV. Only parts of it were broadcast.

As it was a small intimate venue 700 people in the audience sold it out.

The Police played a different version of Demolition Man, like with most of the early shows on this tour.

Sting completely messed up the bass line of De Do Do Do De Da Da Da during the first verse of the song.

Invisible Sun had Sting sing a few lines of Wouldn't it be lovely from My Fair Lady towards the end of the song. The band then left the stage with Sting saying "We are going for a tea break, we will see you in 5..10 minutes, bye-bye"

The band came back on stage for One World (Not Three) with Sting's voice giving way at the first accapella line where he sings "One world is enough, for all of us", at the begining of the song.

King Of Pain on the second Universal In-House time-coded VHS Master Tape, does not feature the recorded Sting vocal of "There's a little black spot on the sun today". It is completely silent, with just the music backing track playing, only upto the point where Sting sings "...sun today....what?" On the PayTV broadcast, it has been cleverly added in!

Roxanne is actually played before the last song So Lonely.

Only 2 single camera angle reels (Rushes) exist of this concert, in Universal Music Groups US Library. The 2" Master Video Tape, is signed off as missing. However the 2" Safety Master Video Tape (From the studio Godley & Creme were working at) survives, along with 2 Universal In-House time-coded VHS Master Tapes. First VHS tape - Synchronicity I to Invisible Sun is Sting & Stewart's camera angle from the right side of the stage. The second VHS tape - One World (Not Three) to So Lonely is Sting head on and occasionally zooms out to see all 3 members of the band head on. These 2 In-House time-coded VHS Master Tapes, came directly from both camera angle reel tapes.

It also worth mentioning that Demolition Man, O My God, Murder By Numbers and Tea In The Sahara woud make up the bonus Montreal footage on the Synchronicity Concert DVD, but sadly the rushes of these tracks (from the 2 single camera angle reels) were rejected by Sting's management and were removed before going to press. However, the backstage tea party (which was a single camera angle which followed the band backstage) remained on the commercial DVD release.
