Police and Sting boots, as of 2 February 1995 

I have the following boots by the police and sting.  The format I describe 
them in is by title, venue, and date (when known, dates in european 
format:  dd/mm/yy), then I list whether the source is tape, cd, or lp 
and the length of the recording. 

-----

police, born in the 50s, live at the paradise in boston, mass.
7/4/79 (tape 90 minutes)

can't stand losing you, trush hits everybody, so lonely, fall out, born
in the 50s, hole in my life, sally-be my girl, peanuts, roxanne, landlord,
next to you, can't stand losing you, born in the 50s

an early recording, with sting's voice shot to hell (which is why he 
repeats the last two songs).  all in all still a very good show.
