Coolpro used only to join sides of the tape and check levels, no other processing
done.

There is a short silence at the beginning of Peanuts, looks like a tape flip.
I think there's a slowdown during Can't stand losing you.

Of all the commercial bootlegs of this show, you can find the best sound
on the double vinyl LP "In the name of the law!". Great sound really, I
believe it was taken from the radio reels, but I can't remember now if
it was the complete show.
"The truth hits everybody" CD bootleg from Germany does have the complete
show, but I think this recording is much better (and yes, that bootleg
does have the skip on "Peanuts", so it was taken from the same source).
Also there is too much reverb added in that cd bootleg, in my opinion.

Before "Bring on the night" Sting says: "This is another new song. This is
specially for the bootleggers. This is called Bring on the night".

My best favourite "Peanuts" version.

From "Wild Thing", by Ian Copeland (Stewart's brother, buy this book)
who was the Police Agent in the USA:
"Wherever possible, we would try to create an event out of Police shows by
playing in halls that no bands had played before. Their first date back in America,
on September 27, they headlined in New York City at a previously unused ballroom
in the Diplomat Hotel that Miles and I promoted ourselves, and the first thousand
tickets sold so fast we added another two days of shows.
The show was significant to me because it was proof that new wave bands could
rise out of playing the clubs."
