Always was a fan of Sting and his comrades, I thank, J.C.
Sure, my pleasure, GZ
Seconded, Jordy.
I saw The Police with the Go Gos at the Omni in Atlanta, early 1982.
Thanks for posting.
I didn't find any footage of The Police in Atlanta in early 1982, but here's a time capsule of the era, when I was walking those same streets:

I did run into this Atlanta performance from 1983. A noisy crowd, but I guess that was to be expected.

I'm pretty certain that the show I saw was in early 1982 or late 1981, because of the personal events in my life at the time.
Another detail is the Go-Gos were the opening act that night.
Thanks for posting the video, great band in any time period.
Update:
I see that the Police/Go-Gos concert I saw was January 27 1982, during the "Ghost In The Machine" tour:
