tj7 notes:
Some tracks were split incorrectly, and there are some false starts here and there - but tracks 1-15 are from a very low gen source and sound great.

Carlo's notes:
" The tracking was madness, so I retracked this completely. I also removed those short silence gaps that were all around, but not on track boundaries. I hope I catched all.

This unfortunately is noise reduced, and obviously "mastered", but sounds much more better than what is commonly circulating and can be found on "3 ghosts caught in the act", and it has more songs including "King of pain", "One World" and "Don't stand so close to me". Last two tracks are from "3 ghosts" source and lower quality. They have been added (not by me) to have the most complete version of this rehearsals, but I understand they were not included originally in this version.

Please notice that there is some debate on the date and location of this rehearsals. "

Notes by the uploader
I recorded this some 25 years ago from dutch fm radio, The station was VARA-radio as i recall. Sound quality is A+, some fm static. The intro of next to you fades in due to a tape flip. I skipped a very short portion of Landlord as it was interrupted by news-broadcast. Can't stand losing you was played twice, the first version is not on this tape as it was never broadcasted.

Comments: An ALD recording from relatively early in the Police's 2007-2008 reunion tour was posted on DIME in early 2008; it was discovered that the ALD was out of phase -- I don't fully understand what that means, but essentially it means that one of the channels was somehow reversed, resulting in a sub-optimal sound. A corrected version was posted by "hildie" in March 2008 to address the issue. I admit that I don't fully understand the lineage, but this version sounded quite a bit better than the original and in fact, I think it's one of the better-sounding recordings from the Police's reunion tour.

In terms of performance, I have a hard time distinguishing one night from the other. This was a great nostalgia show, and the band was well-rehearsed and did a good job reproducing their hits from one night to the next with few deviations. I like the early part of the tour because the setlist was longer (roughly 120 minutes) than the end (about 105 minutes), by which time they'd cut some of the material that appears in this show.

Now that we're a few years removed from their reunion and the excitement has worn off, I don't think it's necessary to have more than a couple shows from this tour -- but I think this one should survive the cut. The sound, for an ALD recording, is very good.

On August 26, 2005, Dutch Radio2 [as part of the program 'Zomerfestival'] re-broadcasted the live recording of The Police at the Pinkpop festival 1979. This was a MAJOR upgrade (based on sound quality) to the various recordings I already had of this performance!

Also, this broadcast included two songs which were never broadcasted in the past: 'Truth Hits Everybody' and 'Peanuts.' This recording still misses the very first song ('Can't Stand Losing You,' which was performed twice). According to the DJ (which you can hear at the end of this recording) this first song was not recorded or is no longer in the archives of the radio station.
