Another good show from the eastern world tour '80 !
The Police played a serie of three rescheduled gigs in Sydney, originaly planned from 6 to 9 of march (Sting had voice problem then).
"Driven To Tears" was performed for one of the first time in public ! An early version was recorded a few days before in Armstrong's studio in Melbourne.
This concert is probably not complete (encores are missing), but this is the most complete version I know !
This show was broadcasted on FM radio in Australia, and this copy is quite enjoyable (in my opinion), despite some distortion in the high frequencies (audience, Sting's shoutings).
No equalization, no noise reduction. I only corrected the pitch.
Enjoy this show !
