Trivia

This concert was reviewed in Sounds, NME and Melody Maker on September 29, 1979. These reviews don't mention which night of the two Hammersmith Odeon gigs they review, but it's a good guess that reporters would attend the first night. Born In The 50's and Be My Girl, Sally are mentioned in the reviews, Landlord isn't... Another review in Superpop - October 6, 1979 - mentions that a large plastic bottle was given to Sting at the start of Message In A Bottle - this would fit the recording from today's show. As the review also list some more songs the setlist seems to be complete - except for Landlord...

The Superpop review also listed the equipment used for the Hammersmith Odeon gig.
