The Police Live in Atlanta at The Omni Performing Roxanne and More

Venue: The Omni Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States Date: June 11, 1986

In June 1986, The Police performed at The Omni in Atlanta, marking a significant point in their career. By this time, they had recently released their fifth and final studio album, 'Synchronicity,' in 1983, which sent their fame soaring. This album featured some iconic tracks like 'Every Breath You Take' and 'King of Pain,' establishing them as rock legends. Interestingly, the band's dynamic was shifting; tensions were growing among the members, foreshadowing their eventual split soon after their 1986 tour. This live recording captures the energy of a band at their peak, yet hints at an era nearing its end. It's almost bittersweet to watch, knowing that such powerful performances were part of their farewell before Sting pursued a solo career.
