The Police

On December 3, 1979, The Police delivered an electrifying performance of "Hole In My Life" at the Théâtre de l'Empire in Paris. By this time, the band had just released their acclaimed second album, "Reggatta de Blanc," which featured hits like "Message in a Bottle" and showcased their reggae-rock fusion. This live recording captures a pivotal moment in their career, as they were on the cusp of global stardom, blending Sting's poignant lyrics and the band's rhythmic energy. Interestingly, the album's title even means 'White Water' in French, hinting at their ongoing journey through diverse musical influences. This Paris show was part of their rise, leading them into the 1980s, where they'd become one of the most recognizable rock bands in the world.
