The Police

On December 3, 1979, The Police delivered an electrifying performance at the Théâtre de l'Empire in Paris, part of the French TV program 'Chorus.' By this time, the band had just released their iconic album 'Reggatta de Blanc' in the fall of 1979, which featured hits like 'Message in a Bottle' and 'Walking on the Moon.' This was a pivotal moment in their career, solidifying their reputation as an innovative force in rock and reggae fusion. Interestingly, 'Reggatta de Blanc' not only topped the charts but also won the Grammy for Best Reggae Recording, showcasing the band's growing international appeal. Their dynamic stage presence during this concert reflects the peak of their early success, bridging the gap between their initial breakthrough with 'Outlandos d'Amour' and their subsequent global superstardom. Fans still cherish this performance for its raw energy and the chemistry among band members.
