Re: The Police on Tour



For the record, there was no live music on Top Of The Pops, it was all miming and lip synching.  But everyone did watch it and talk about it the next day.  "The Old Grey Whistle Test" was about the only place you could see live music on British TV in the 70's.

Sting in an interview talked about the fact that, growing up, the only time
anyone in Britain could see live music
on television was when an act went onto Top of the Pops on Friday evening.
He said that for the rest of the weekend
that everyone in all the pubs in England would talk about the Stones
perormance on that show.
