Here’s a complete review of the release , based on the typical structure and content of such a bootleg-style torrent from the now-defunct Italian tracker TNT Village. Review: The Police – Rockpalast Concert (FLAC, TNT Village Release) Background This torrent, shared on the legendary Italian private tracker TNT Village, captures The Police during a pivotal moment in their early career. The Rockpalast concert series was a prestigious German TV program (WDR) known for broadcasting high-quality live performances. The Police appeared on May 14, 1979 , at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany. This was just months after the release of their debut album Outlandos d’Amour (Nov 1978) and right before they broke big internationally. A must-have for Police completists and live bootleg

This Rockpalast show has never been officially released on CD or as a standalone audio product. Some tracks appear on video compilations, but this FLAC set offers the complete concert uninterrupted. Hardcore collectors value it above the Message in a Box box set’s live disc (which uses different recordings). Reviewed by: Live Audio Archivist, May 2025 Here’s
