The Police

The first time I heard the Police on the radio was when their very first single, the punky ‘Fall Out’ came out, and I rather liked that. I had no idea they would become as huge as they became. 

I took these photos on the Police’s first US tour in 1979; got really good reserved seats at Zellerbach Auditorium in Berkeley, and took these photos of them, plus the Knack, who supported - ‘My Sharona’ was a big hit for them at this time. 

The only other time I saw the Police was at Oakland Stadium on their final tour in ’81 or whenever that was. I always enjoyed them, but not enough to own any of their records.
