The Police - Synchronicity II Live Performance at Le Spectrum, Montreal
On August 2, 1983, The Police performed "Synchronicity II" live at Le Spectrum in Montreal during their "Synchronicity" world tour. This tour was in support of their fifth and final studio album, *Synchronicity*, which had been released earlier that same year. The album marked a high point in The Police's career, featuring hits such as "Every Breath You Take" and "King of Pain," and it showcased a more polished and complex sound compared to their earlier work. The performance in Montreal was significant, as it was a sellout event with an attendance of 700 fans, reflecting their immense popularity at the time. This concert took place amidst rising tensions within the band, as they were approaching the end of their collaboration. The live recording captures not only their energetic performance style but also hints at the underlying strains that would eventually lead to their breakup soon after the tour concluded.
