Recording information

There's a recording of this concert.

Trivia

There were about 8.000 people in the audience. A lot more people tried to get in, which led to riots in the streets.

In the morning Miles Copeland organised a photo shoot with YAMAHA bikes outside the band's hotel - the Principe Di Savoia.

First Sting was photographed alone on his YAMAHA. Then Stewart returned from a test drive, joining his band members for group photos with their bikes. The Police were then photographed without the YAMAHA bikes before Stewart again took his bike out on the road (wearing a scarf).
