The Police

In September 1983, The Police were riding high on the success of their iconic album "Synchronicity," which had been released earlier that same year. This live performance at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum was part of the legendary "Day On The Green #3" concert event, a memorable occasion that further solidified their status as one of the biggest rock bands of the era. Not only did they captivate the crowd with hits like "Every Breath You Take," but they also showcased the undeniable chemistry between band members Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland. Interestingly, the song itself became a hallmark of '80s music, often mistaken for a love song, when it actually has a more complex narrative about obsession. This concert, blending their earlier punk roots with a progressively polished sound, highlighted a pivotal moment in their career as they prepared to take a break by 1984.
