I received this show from a trade with Stéphane Carment.
This is a well-known and enjoyable version of the performance by The Police at the Reading Festival '79.
The Police played the first day and topped the bill.
They began the set with "Deathwish", played for (one of) the first time in public.
On this day, The Police received their first gold discs.

No equalisation, no noise reduction, I just cleaned-up the tracks splitting.

If someone has a better version, please let me know.

Enjoy !
