Review : About the concert: back says only "Recorded Live in EUROPE 1980". It is the second of two shows in Newcastle, England (Sting's hometown) on April 28, 1980. The last concert of the tour to promote the group's second album, Regatta De Blanc. Perhaps not surpsingly then, Sting's voice is a little hoarse for this performance. One interesting note is that the group performs "Driven To Tears" for the first known time, a song that the group had not yet released or even recorded in the studio. Source seems like soundboard. This is not the complete concert. A different bootleg of the same show, "Walking On The Moon" (from a radio broadcast, not soundboard as we have here) contains Deathwish (before Truth Hits Everybody) and 3 encores: Born In The 50's, Fall Out, and Next To You.
