The Police - So Lonely (live at San Bernardino 1982)

Great post!! First I've seen of this US Festival '82 show.

But I've never understood why they decided to use that horn section for the Ghost tour...

@nitedrive

I think that was Sting's idea to use horns. You had to look for new sound, for something new. Later in 1983 The Police had three backing singers.

@EiDy2 - yep, think I read something about that in Andy Summer's book, "One Train Later" (great read). I recall Andy writing he didn't like the horns.

But yeah, I understand Sting trying to keep things fresh. Even with the horns, these guys were fantastic.

The backing singers on the following tour were a great addition.

@nitedrive I agree about the horn section. Just awful.
