Recording information

This section needs more information. Please note if an official or unofficial recording, or recording(s), is known to exist of this performance.

Trivia

Ian Copeland talked co-owner David "Lefty" Foster into letting his brother's band play at the Shaboo by promising him to have Iggy Pop there in six weeks.

The Police made about US$ 12 by playing there...

Before set two Sting gave the 9 paying visitors their $1 entrance fee back.

Sting wrote a song in the van when the band left Willimantic - the band sang it. It obviously never made it onto an album.
