One of the best bands to come out of that period of time.

There best song was "Bed's Too Big Without You" but they had a lot of other great songs as well.

Sting's book "Broken Music" is a great read.

Look at the Amazon reviews here:

First time I saw them play was 1979. I was a kid, hardly a teenager, snuck out of the house and snuck into the show. Great time but got my A kicked when I got home.

Of the three, Sting was the least talented.

Copeland and Summers are amazing musicians.

I saw them at the Capitol Center in MD, early 80’s. The Go-Go’s opened up for them. It was a great show, both bands.

"45 YEARS AGO: THE POLICE PLAYS FIRST SHOW WITH CLASSIC TRIO LINEUP"

Your headline doesn't deserve any more attention than anybody else's. Caps lock OFF please.
