The Police - 1983-08-18 - New York, NY (HQ Aud) 

In August 1983, The Police just might have been the biggest rock act in the world. Two months earlier, on June 1, The Police released the album Synchronicity, which went to #1 on the Billboard charts, selling 8 million copies. The disc yielded 4 top 20 singles - Synchronicity II at #16, Wrapped Around Your Finger at #8, King of Pain at #3 and Every Breath You Take, which like the album, climbed all the way to #1. When the band toured in 1983/84 in support of Synchronicity, they found they could fill 50,000 seat stadiums such as Shea in New York, the same venue the Beatles had filled some 2 decades prior. This HQ audience recording captures that performance at Shea band on August 18, 1983, 29 years ago today.
