July 26: The Police - Live! (disc 1)
Listening to a Police live album is a bit like listening to a Beatles live album: you're never going to get the chance to see 'em live, so this is the next best thing.
Disc 1 of this two-CD set is taken from a 1979 show in Boston. The band's got a lot of energy, and the music is a lot more reggae-punk than the album versions of "Message in a Bottle" or whatever.
The weirdest thing is listening to Sting talk between songs. The guy has a very strong rural northern English accent (the British equivalent of those guys in Deliverance who think you got a purty mouth), which is pretty interesting, considering he comes off all prim and polished in interviews nowadays.
