The Clash concert
William and Mary Hall - Williamsburg, US
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.

The opening band at the '82 Clash show at William & Mary Hall was The Mighty Invaders...100% for sure...

I went to some of the concerts your talking about and found this page because I was trying to remember some of them. I believe it was the clash and the mighty invaders who were a reggae band from Baltimore but comprised mostly of Jamacians. I also think the police played in Jan. 1982 which the go gos

This was my first concert. The opening band was The Mighty Wailers, which included several members of Bob Marley's original band.

I know it's not a reggae band, but i will try anyway. Maybe T-Bone Burnett?

What's up SUBLMNK-

I was also at this show , along with several of my friends...we were recently discussing the show, and trying to recall who opened for The Clash. One says Stray Cats; another says The Go Gos...I disagree with both of them. I pretty clearly remember it was a reggae band. I want to say they were called something like The Mighty Thunderbirds. Internet searches have turned up nothing. Do you recall who opened?

Awesome show very thankful I was lucky enough to see them at that time with the early lineup.
