* tape flip cross-faded about 2:30 into the song.

Performed shortly after the release of Regatta de Blanc, and on Sting's 28th birthday, "which is why we're in such a good mood." The date is taken from that announcement during the show (the cassette mislabelled).

The show was packed and the crowd was very excited. During Roxanne, one girl rushed the stage, yeling "Roxanne is my sister." Why? Who was she? Who knows.

Track 1 starts muddy and muffled. The sound improves pretty quickly and keeps improving through track 4. By track 2, it's in pretty good shape.

This is not a pre-FM SBD because, Peter Hedeman, says, "I wasn't going to waste a cassette on another new wave band." Who knew? As far as I know, there is no pre-FM SBD version to circulate. So, this is what we have. There may be better post-FM copies out there, but I don't have one.

Enjoy!
