Trivia

Original ads for this concert announced Squeeze, Brian James All Stars (incl. Stewart Copeland) and The Addix.

Stewart Copeland remembers: "At the end of the show, Andy & Sting came onstage and we did a few Police songs"


Sam Dodson of The Transmitters remembers:

"The Transmitters did support The Police at the Electric Ballroom on that date! So did a Mark Perry pick up band! featuring one Kiff Kiff!

The gig was billed as Brian James allstars but he pulled at the last minute so The Police stepped in at the last minute! hence the possible confusion with the date!!"

In fact it was Squeeze who didn't appear - see the blog in the external links section.
