Best Buy to webcast the live encore of The Police final concert at Madison Square Garden
MINNEAPOLIS and NEW YORK After a recent announcement that it would expand its musical instrument assortment in stores, Best Buy is making another musical move. The retailer will broadcast live on its site an exclusive webcast of the final moments of The Police's final show at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, Aug. 7.
Best Buy will be on-site to document the band’s historic final moments on stage and will exclusively stream live footage of their final encore on BestBuy.com hosted by pop culture correspondent Lauren Scala. To view the live footage, fans should log on to www.BestBuy.com/ThePolice at 10:45 p.m. EST.
“At Best Buy we understand how passionate our consumers are about music and we are thrilled to be able to share these once-in-a-lifetime moments with those who do not have the opportunity to be at the concert in-person” said Gary Arnold, senior entertainment officer for Best Buy.
In addition to the live webcast, which includes three of the last four songs in the encore, Best Buy will begin the presale of an exclusive DVD/CD set, "The Police: Certifiable". The set features the band’s entire concert from Buenos Aires, as well as bonus footage, available in a 2 DVD/2 CD standard format or a 1 DVD/2 CD Blu-ray format. Also available is a three LP premium vinyl set with an MP3 file key (a one-time free download of the entire album).
