iTunes live release series - SHOW SUGGESTIONS ?

[Greg Moonspank]

I read somewhere (probably stingus.net) that the Police will offer select live shows via iTunes as part of the whole 30th anniversary package.

That's a very cool thing.

Many of us are familiar with many Police shows. Considering the shows that have already been officially released by the band (boston 79; atlanta 83, etc.) What other shows would be good choices?

I can think of many, but to get the ball rollin, I'll suggest NY Madison Square Garden 1981. A very important and ultra-high energy show somwhere in the middle ot the ZM tour.

Any others?

I guess they are maybe thinking about giving Itunes future shows....if there will be a tour, this could be an amazing idea!

I'm buying some of The Cult Instant Live recordings (I guess they should be around 20 from their US 2006 tour); the more I get, the more I want.

In my case, with The Police, I started 'the-more-I-get-the-more-I-want' motto since 1979.

Doubtful they would release it, but as far as the early days, they played a club in Long Island caleld My Father's Place in 79. Fantastic show that was broadcast live at the time on radio station WLIR. Their version of Fallout that night was absolutely searing, Andy's guitar solo is off the wall...

If anyone has that bootleg I would loves me a copy, I lost mine a few years ago

I sincerely hope they could offer a download in some lossless format, say FLAC like Phish or many others, other than the compressed AAC used by iTunes.

I don't think any of this talk was official.. just some crazy talk in the chat room which sounds like a great idea!

Heres hoping it happens!

I'd love to be able to buy al the gigs on iTunes or via the Police website online the day after as a download.

In fact it would be great to download the Police playing Roxanne at the Grammy's as a mini EP on Feb 12th!

Sorry, this was a mistake !

What about the Zenyatta-era live album that (according to Andy's book) was completed and shelved?

Does anybody know what show that was? Or better yet, have it? I've got stuff to trade...

Uhm, was it Melbourne ?

[Porkusmag]

A good show I already have on DVD is The Police live on Germany circa 1980... great track list, great camera direction (I can see Stu alot, not like the Synchro DVD or the bad directed Ghost in the Machine). Stu kills on Deatwish, Visions of the Night and Bed´s too big without you.

Shea Stadium too?

Houston , The Summit , 1982!!!

Milano ? (the full set list!) - What was the date Gio? April 1980? I am sure you know!!

Melbourne March 1981

Newcastle April 1980 ( The full set! or both concerts from the same day?)


Hatfield DVD & Gateshead DVD to get a UK / Europe release? Maybe even Houston 1982 on DVD?
