The Secret Policeman's Other Ball was the fourth of the benefit shows staged by the British Section of Amnesty International to raise funds for its research and campaign work in the human rights field. It was the second of many shows to bear the celebrated "Secret Policeman's" title that became the iconic series known informally as The Secret Policeman's Balls. The show took place at the Drury Lane theatre in London on Wednesday 9 September 1981. It was a successor to the 1979 show The Secret Policeman's Ball. The show was directed by Monty Python alumnus John Cleese and produced by Martin Lewis & Peter Walker (Amnesty's fundraising officer). It subsequently yielded two separate movies (one version for the UK, directed by Julien Temple, and a quite different version for the US) and two record albums (one each of comedy and music performances). The show was very influential in galvanizing rock musicians to become involved in the human rights issue and in other political and social causes in subsequent decades. Musicians who performed at the show who subsequently became activists in various fields include Sting, Bob Geldof, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins and Midge Ure. == Track listing of the music album == ;Side 1 # "Roxanne" – Sting (3:06) # "Message in a Bottle" – Sting (3:44) # "'Cause We've Ended as Lovers" – Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton (3:47) # "Farther Up the Road" – Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton (4:46) # "Crossroads" – Jeff Beck and Clapton (4:15) # "I Don't Like Mondays" – Bob Geldof and Johnny Fingers (4:54) ;Side 2 # "In The Air Tonight" – Phil Collins (5:10) # "The Roof Is Leaking" – Phil Collins (3:34) # "The Universal Soldier" – Donovan (3:00) # "Catch The Wind" (2:32) – Donovan # "I Shall Be Released" – The Secret Police (9:20) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Secret Policeman's Other Ball」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
