The Synchronicity Tour began in Chicago, Illinois in July 1983 at the original Comiskey Park, and on 18 August the band played in front of 70,000 in Shea Stadium, New York. Near the end of the concert, Sting announced: "We'd like to thank the Beatles for lending us their stadium". By 1st October ’83, the band were back in Europe and performing at Camp Municipal Narcís Sala, in Barcelona.

The show coincided with Sting’s 32nd birthday, and at the concert’s culmination the band and audience in unison sang “Happy Birthday” to the esteemed group’s leader.

Notes:
This one just turned up a few years ago and the sound
is amazing.I got this show in a trade a couple years back from a friend in Boston. It's the earlist Police show available with them as a three piece band and the only known recording where they played "Dead End Job". This one's essential for any Police collection.
About the show:
Here's an early show from The Police in Boston in the fall of '78. Recorded at The Rathskeller in Kenmore Square just a stones throw from Fenway Park, this Basement Club was the premier venue for Punk and New Wave in Boston in the late 70's. A friend of mine's band played "The Rat" often so I can testify that it was as Intimate as it was Rowdy! This show is originally listed as soundboard, however the sound is in Mono and was probably EQ'd at sometime (samples below) . All praise go to the Original Recordist & Seeder, and as always Your Comments are Appreciated!!!

Sting - 1974 to 1978

As requested... Originally posted December 13, 2014  

A Dave Sez contribution...

Sting - 1974 to 1978

Last Exit, Police - The Nashville, London , Fast Breeder and the Radio Actors

Live, Studio sessions and Demos

From the Dave Sez archive:
I rapidly went off him in 1978 when the Police went big-time. Nonetheless, "Fall Out" redeems Sting, one of the best early punk singles. This is all I have of him before then, all extremely rare.

Last Exit - Sting´s first band
(15 tracks, excellent prog jazz demos from Impulse Sound Studio, 1974 and 1976, @128 and @160)
.....
Police - 1977.03.06 London Nashville - the only recording I know of of the original Police line-up with Henry Padovani on guitar.
7 tracks @ 320
.....

Fast Breeder and the Radio Actors - "Nuclear Waste" 45, 1977
A one-off cooperation between members of the Police, Gong, Hawkwind and the Edgar Broughton Band, featuring Sting on lead vocals, Steve Hillage on lead guitar and Nick Turner on sax.

Last Exit - Sting´s first band (demos 1974 - 76)
(excellent studio demos)

Last Exit are:
Gerry Richardson (keyboards)
Sting (Gordon Sumner)(electric bass & vocals)
Ronnie Pearson (drums & vocals)
John Hedley (guitar)

04 - Whispering Voices (Alternate Version) (3:11)

The sound on this tape is perfect - no noice or hiss, it's a copy direct from the master tape - and still kept intact. The tracks were recorded at Impulse Sound Studio 1974.
