On August 26, 2005 Dutch Radio2 (as part of the program "Zomerfestival")
rebroadcasted the live recording of The Police at the Pinkpop festival 1979.

This was a MAJOR upgrade (based on sound quality) to the various recordings
I already had of this performance!

Also, this broadcast included two songs which were never broadcasted in the
past: Truth Hits Everybody and Peanuts.

This recording still misses the very first song (Can't Stand Losing You, which
was performed twice). According to the DJ (which you can hear at the end of
this recording) this first song was not recorded or is no longer in the
archives of the radio station.

So, this torrent is about the best we can get! It won't get much better than
this! This is a gem!

This was a great and energetic performance!
