The Police

The live performance of 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' at Gateshead International Stadium on July 31, 1982, captures The Police at a pivotal moment in their career. By this time, the band had just released their iconic album 'Ghost in the Machine' a year prior, which showcased their growing artistic depth and experimentation with new sounds. This live recording not only highlights their dynamic stage presence but also reflects the peak of their popularity during their third world tour. It's fascinating to note that the song itself is a fan favorite that blends reggae influences with pop sensibilities, and Sting's passionate delivery perfectly complements the vibrant arrangement. The energy during this Gateshead show is palpable, marking a thrilling point in their evolution as one of the leading bands of the era, just before they began to drift apart in the years that followed.
