Check the screen grabs and audio samples to get an idea of the quality. There are a few bad video frames but this is mostly stellar quality, both audio and video. I recommend this one highly! Extensive web searching did not turn up any released material. Notes from the web searching: After the show in Portland, Oregon on February 5th, 1980 and prior to the show in Honolulu on February 8th, The Police went to Los Angeles to record for the TV program "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" before a live studio audience. Presumably this was recorded on the 6th, since they would not have flown the long distance to Honolulu on the same day that they were doing the show there. This appearance was broadcast on May 17, 1980. Dimeadozen.org: Torrent 181216 (by grner1)
