COMENTS:
This is a new source of a The Police show has not circulated so far.It belongs to the personal file of my friend Jordi Tardà, surely is is a 2nd generation.I do not have many information of this new source, equipement used for the recording and location.By the sound seems that it is recorded in the setps of the bullring and surely under cover.In the last encore you can apreceiate that who recorded the show he just went off before the concert was end and the beginning of Born In The 50's is recorded by the corridors of the square until leaving to the step.
During the recording you can also hear the screams of some British fans and the sound of a whistle.The sound is not so great, but is nice to find a new source after many years.
This is the first time I hear this new source,  maybe will be on any POLICE collection, but,for me is a new source.
You can also appreciate that when editing the tape I have not cut anything, the sound of the audience between the songs of the encores is whole.
Is not a long show, but this is the unique place where The Police play Born In The 50's as a 3erd encore.Much apreciated for all the people who atended the magic night in Barcelona.I was there and was a great night.
