The Police

In May 1978, The Police were riding the wave of their debut album, "Outlandos d'Amour," which had been released just a year prior. This album featured hits like "Roxanne" and "Can't Stand Losing You," showcasing their blend of rock, reggae, and punk influences. By the time of this live performance in Germany, the band was gaining international recognition, and they were embracing their unique sound on stage. Interestingly, the German TV show "Bios Bahnhof" provided a platform for the group, highlighting their raw energy and the early chemistry between Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland. This particular recording of "Only the Wind" captures not just their musical talent but also the electric vibe of the late '70s music scene, a moment before they became global superstars.
