The Story of the Clash Part 10

Well, I guess we are up to 1981....shitty year, for a variety of personal reasons. Anyway, the Clash, at least, were still going strong, the legendary "Bond's Shows" at Bonds Casino in NYC took place between May-June of that year.....I DO NOT have the entire series, it IS available on Dime a Dozen, I have ONE complete show and the two disc "Best of the Bonds shows" (Which I thought I had but cannot find) set......there is such a thing as TOO MUCH of a good thing, sometimes.....The "Chaos In NYC" is a fine representation, in my opinion

Another double disc set, fairly heavy on the "Sandinista!" material, comes from 5/15/81 from Gothenburg Sweden. Winding up disc 2 is the encore "Gotheburg's Burning"....doesn't really "roll off the tongue" does it?

One more double disc set from 1981 takes us to Milan, ("Milano's Burning!"), this may have been their most impressive tour, at least I would probably make that arguement with a gun to my head....

One more (single disc) comes from Amsterdam, wonder why those guys got a shorter set? Anyway, another fine showing, lots of "Sandinista!" material, a fine "London Calling", just what you'd expect.....the ONLY band that MATTERS!
