Any word on a US release of this or what region these DVDs will be? Anyone happen to know?

[Philippe Again]

Wow! Great find, Jose!

The track-list seems to be as follow but I don't know in which order the songs appear:
"Next to you", "Walkin on the moon", "Hole in my life","Fall out", "Bring on the night", "Visions of the night", "Message in a bottle".

This DVD is region 0 so you can play it everywhere. But I don't know if you can buy it via french on-line stores.
Here is a link to Fnac, the biggest seller, maybe they can send it to you:

Maybe the INA accept payments from foreign countries, in that case you can buy the files to download:

not a great find, as it was posted in this forum two days earlier by spotlessmind...

[Jose]

Ok, I was in a rush posted this new in any forum related with THE POLICE and I forgot to include the credits of STINGUS, but when I read it I thought it was a bootleg (cause it said to find it by amazon) so, I searched into the net and found into INA-FRANCE and include in this new more details ( the best is that this DVD is an official edition) and the links of the DVD trailer... In spite of the fact, Danke

Hi Jose

Lovely to hear from you!

Thank you so much for posting this. I didn't see it posted here before so for me it is indeed a great find.

What a fantastic line-up. So many great bands at that time.

I'm on the look out for this and hope I can find it in England.

Oh Dietmar sometimes you can be so harsh ....But I recognize your preciseness and accuracy ! We owe too much from you , as The police Encyclopaedia.

Thanks ERIC.

I've been trying to find it on Amazon UK but Ive not found it yet.

I'm sure I've asked this question before but does anyone know how to buy things from Amazon from a different country? I've never been able to do it yet.

It's great if things get posted more than once. It gives people who missed things the first time the chance to listen to, watch, buy or read about fantastic music. It's the sharing here that makes this a bloody fabulous forum. Don't you think?

[Dietmar]

hey, Sharing is my middle name !
I just like to see credit where credit's due, that's all!
and that would be spotlessmind, then

Dietmar, I think your approach sometimes can be very insulting. This is not the first time and there's really no need for it. Just saying.

[Jose]

I know make a fault not mentioned STINGUS, which was the site I found it first, So when I didn't find it here I decided to post, but previously I want to search if it was an "Official" item or only one sell by a collector on the net, the result of my search (not the same at STINGUS) was that it is an OFFICIAL item produced by INA - FRANCE with this important info plus links I decided to publisehed first here and then in the rest of POLICE or REALTED POLICE website or forums, How I was in a RUSH posting in every site I forgot to put the "credits" of stingus at SC.net, but if you search in the rest you can find I mentioned it... with "my" info every fan could read detailed set list plus production cast and the video trailer with the cover and how the video look in production and remaster quality.

Well Is it necessary to explain any details? Perhaps yes, for the wiki thing

[spotlessmind]

Is this a thread about a great show and a great DVD ?

Come on guys, Relax. Thanks Dietmar for sharing and for the credit. And thanks Jose for the post. Case closed.

Now, talking about the DVD, the track-list is in order:

"Next to you", "Truth hits everybody", "Walking on the moon", "Hole in my life","Fall out", "Bring on the night", "Visions of the night", "Message in a bottle".

These are the songs which were broadcast.

But the show on the DVD is not "strictly" the same as it was broadcast for the TV channel Antenne 2 on December 23, 1979. Few details. By the way, the original version is downloadable in two avi files on the INA website via the link posted by Philippe Again. You can watch few seconds more of the Police on the rooftop of the Théâtre de l'Empire at the beginning as well.

For more details - because they are important for any fan, Jose - about the show recorded at The Théâtre:
