Recording information

An official 3 DVD set called Chorus was released on October 5, 2010 and includes the songs marked with an asterisk*.
Trivia
The Police played a very loud soundcheck. Miles Copeland was told that they had to lower the volume for the actual performance as the presenters of the Chorus TV show cared about the health of their audience and staff (concerning the noise level). He didn't care. When The Police's concert was even louder several cameramen protested by pointing their cameras towards the floor and stopped filming.
There were about 600-700 people at this concert (Shades magazine from Canada mentions "300 lucky privileged").
After the concert The Police received a critic's award. The last scene in Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out (with handcuffs on the rooftop) was filmed in Paris on this day.
