A guest at William and Mary Hall, Williamsburg on Fri, 15 Oct 1982
Me and two buds drove from Seymour Johnson AFB, in Goldsboro, NC, to Williamsburg for the show and it was worth every minute spent on the road. Supporting the newly released Combat Rock album I was blown away by the new music. Factor in the classics, the attitude, the politics and rebellion and multiply it by a forceful sound system, and lots a feedback…. What a show. They don’t make them like that anymore.
A guest at Golden Hall, San Diego on Sat, 12 Jun 1982
One of my favorite concerts of all time. Mosh pit was huge. I worked my way to within a foot of the stage standing right under Mick Jones. I had not heard their new album Combat Rock yet (it had come out a month earlier), and was blown away hearing live the new songs. I especially remember Rock the Casbah, Straight to Hell, and especially Should I Stay or Should I Go. It was almost a religious experience.

Great concert. Remember it well. I was all of 16 years old.
A guest at Portsmouth Guildhall, Portsmouth on Tue, 06 Mar 1984
Easily the best live gig I have seen. The band led by Strummer, Simonin on bass stormed it even with Topper and Jones on board. I was with a mate near the front of the stage and it was fucking intense. The crowd just wouldn't leave at the end and they came back on for the standard two encores and then two more. The last after all the lights had switched on and fans were starting to vacate. I recall turning around and moving with the crowd toward the exit and then...bang! Off went the lights. Brief pitch blackness. The crowd surged back and Strummer and the band flew back on with one last blast of White Riot. Blew me away.

I was there. It was just amazing to be seeing this band. The sound was horrible and I have never seen a bass guitar slung so low in my life.
Great days of my misspent youthA guest at William and Mary Hall, Williamsburg on Fri, 15 Oct 1982
From my memory the first half of the show was pretty iffy. It sucked. Then something turned and it ended being one of the best concerts I saw.
A guest at Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver on Thu, 31 May 1984
I honestly don’t remember much but I recall the crowd pushing forward against the security and one of the Clash saying “C’mon, they can’t hold you all back”. The crowd overran the security and as the 3 frontline Clash mates played on the edge of the stage, the rest of the stage filled with 50+ dancing fans. It was controlled chaos.

This was on of the greatest concerts I ever witnessed!

I remember it well. The stage was filled with fans singing along with the band. The band was using two mic's and the fans were using two. On the floor, many of us were being passed around body surfing on top of the crowds. It was amazing.
