Oh and I might as well add this. My favorite De Do Do Do.

Does ANYONE have this show on DVD or audio. It's the one from Around the World where Sting FLIPS THE FUCK OUT. Good times.

The Police Around the World is coming out on DVD--DON'T ANYBODY TRANSFER THEIR VHS COPIES!

I would love to see Sting interviewed and asked about that gig. Wonder what he would think today..

When I was 13 or so there was one video store in town that had Around the World on Vhs. One night I rented it and held a tape recorder up to the Tv speaker to record the whole thing. My mom was a teacher and I gave her a bunch of police pics to take to school and copy. I designed my own cover and everything. I made it that Maxell tape and the case look as offical as possible.

And now the police are touring again and I'm sitting here looking at that tape and case I made as a kid.

Pretty fuckin' cool imo :)

Hello Duke,
and sorry to contradict you: there are no footages of the Rockpalast concert in "Around The World".
The link you post about the scene in DeDoDa where Sting spit on a guy in the audience, is from the Fréjus concert in France, August 28, 1980.
The Rockpalast concert is available both in audio and video... and it's a very good show !

yeah I know. So's the Truth Hits Everybody in Around the World. I've been looking for that show for years as well as the Bombay show. I know both of those bastards are out there somewhere.

SWEET :) Have you tried megaupload or whatever it's called. I know a ton of folks who would jump on that.
