The Police

Disc one features a Police concert from 1979, showcasing a hungry, hard-driving band that earned many new fans by being out on the road. It also reveals them to be a rare rock trio who also cut it as a live act (like the Who and the Jam). The second disc is culled from the band's 1983 stopover in Atlanta, during a never-ending world tour that left the group's nerves frayed and probably hastened their breakup. Both discs manage to bottle that elusive concert energy.
