Review (AllMusic) : In 2005 Dutch Radio2 (as part of the program "Zomerfestival") rebroadcasted the live recording of The Police at the Pinkpop festival 1979. This was a major upgrade (based on sound quality) to the various recordings of this performance! Also, this broadcast included two songs which were never broadcasted in the past: Truth Hits Everybody and Peanuts. This recording still misses the very first song (Can't Stand Losing You, which was performed twice). According to the DJ this first song was not recorded or is no longer in the archives of the radio station. So, this recording is about the best we can get! It won't get much better than this! This is a gem! This was a great and energetic performance on a hot day in June 1979.
