99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1982!
That year 99.1 PLR welcomed The Police to New Haven Coliseum. The Police hit the road in 1982 to promote their fourth studio album, “Ghost In The Machine,” which featured hit songs such as Every Little thing She Does Is Magic, Invisible Sun and Spirits in the Material World. Joining them in New Haven were Los Angeles new wave band The Go-Go’s, who would later headline New Haven Coliseum that same year.
Today we revisit The Police at the Coliseum…
