The Passion of the early Police

I have long been a fan of the Police. I have listened to every album and I enjoy almost every song. The album I enjoy most is The Police Live. I enjoy this album for 2 reasons:

Disc 1 is infused with passion and angst.
Disc 2 provides a point of comparison that makes the passion on disc 1 so obvious.

Disc 2 shows how the band had lost its fire and passion at the end. This comparison is hard to make on studio albums, but is made simple with the 2 disc set. So buy the album and do the following:

Listen to both discs in order.
Hide disc 2 and hope never to hear it again
Enjoy Disc 1 and the passion of the Police as it should be remembered
