1980s - #5: In June 1983, the Police released the album, Synchronicity, which went to #1 on the charts in both the US and the UK. In fact, the album sold over 8 million copies in the US, and won the Grammy for best performance by a rock group. The single from the album, Every Breath You Take, also hit number 1, and won 2 Grammy’s, for song of the year and for best performance by a rock group. The band appeared to be on the top of the rock world. Unfortunately, tensions inside the group were tearing it apart. At one point during the recording of Synchronicity, Sting and Stewart Copeland came to blows. Each band member actually recorded their parts of the album in separate rooms. The Synchronicity tour turned out to be the band’s last for over 20 years, as they disbanded once it ended. Except for a few rare performances, the band did not tour again until 2007. This AM radio broadcast of their performance in Nimes on September 23, 1983, 38 years ago today, captures the band at the height of their popularity, with fans little suspecting that the end was near.
