The Police

On June 15, 1986, The Police performed at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, during their "Synchronicity" tour, which supported their fifth and final studio album, "Synchronicity," released in 1983. This album featured the band's biggest hit, "Every Breath You Take," and marked a pinnacle in their commercial success. By 1986, the band was at the height of their fame, but tensions among members were rising, foreshadowing their split a year later. The live recording of "Driven to Tears" captures the band's energetic stage presence and musical synergy, highlighting Sting's compelling vocal performance and the tight rhythm section. This convolution of success and strain within the band is mirrored in the intensity of their live shows, making such performances iconic representations of their artistic journey just before their hiatus.
