Here's another from the vast archives of our pal, Sam Elliot's Mustache.

This is sourced from the original radio reel to reel tape.

We have some of the original collateral that came with the reel: ad slick, and Facts and Important Program Information.

I've added a scan of a ticket and newspaper print ads for the show.  
We don't have the "broadcast window" but it was broadcast on Seattle station KZOK-FM on October 5, 1979.

Please don't forget to tip your bartenders
and waitresses.

This source is from the GWH cassette, a TDK SA 90 master copy of the broadcast, and transferred using Audioquest cables.  There is a 3.9 second patch in Roxanne at 6 minute 6 seconds where I repaired his "tape flip" from another source.

The artwork folder includes two copies of the newspaper ad (one from BAM Magazine, the second from the S.F. Chronicle entertainment tab section), the KFRC chart, a backstage pass, a ticket, a poster, an entertainment listing, two newspaper reviews (one by snooty jazz critic Philip Elwood), and a blurb expressing hope that the punk rockers at Zellerbach wouldn't mess up the Aqua Bears swimming club benefit taking place next door.  There's historical context for you...

The Police were on their first U.S. tour in support of their debut LP, Outlandos d'Amour, released in November 1978. While "Roxanne" had failed to chart in the U.K., it hit #32 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1979.  But the national charts aren't what was happening on the ground, and in the Bay Area, "Roxanne" spent two weeks on AM powerhouse KFRC's charts at #11.  It was at #27 the day before this concert, and note that the newspaper print ad bills them as "THE POLICE singing Roxanne."

So the crowd is noisy, primed for a hot show.  The Police perform "Can't Stand Losing You" twice. I thought they might have been slightly underprepared and ran out of material, but a look at other setlists shows this repetition was standard on this tour...and that they did have additional material.  The next night at the UC Davis Coffee House they added "Dead End Job" to the set.

From a later rebroadcast of the show on KSAN's Sunday Night Live show.

From the GWH master copy of a TDK SA-C90 cassette tape.

Okay, gang, this one is well-circulated, but this particular version hasn't been shared before.  This is a fresh 2016 digitization right from my pal GWH's master copy of the broadcast (which was from a re-broadcast of the show, later in the year).  There was a 4 second gap in Roxanne where the original tape was flipped over. I patched it from another source.

Retro Rock was produced by the Clayton Webster Corporation out of St. Louis.  The show format was rebroadcasts of live concerts and artist profile/interview specials.  Occasionally they blended the formats and mixed unreleased live songs with studio cuts and interviews.  That's the format for this two part special by the Police.

The first hour is almost all unreleased live music from different concerts.  I managed to identify two of the songs as from the Bottom Line show of April 1979.  The version I have of the Bottom Line show was mastered by Mr. David Hussey and has a patched version of "Roxanne."  This Retro Rock show has a complete version of the song, without the break or the patch.

The second hour shifts to more studio material, but has one song that should be of note to Police completists.  In 1980, the Police released a single of "De Doo Doo Doo, De Da Da Da" with a Spanish version on one side and Japanese on the flip. Each side was the full version of the song with three verses and choruses in the respective language.  This rare single was left off "Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings" (which is, of course, not "complete").

There's a unique English/Spanish/Japanese edit of "De Doo Doo Doo, De Da Da Da" on this Retro Rock show.  Presumably they edited the three different versions together from the released versions. The first verse and chorus are in English, followed by Spanish, then Japanese.   I've been unable to track down any evidence that this edit was ever commercially distributed.  Perhaps one of Our Beloved Readers knows if this 3-language version was ever released?
