Quite a decent sound on this one. Though it is a bit distant and echoey. Nick Sheppard sings on Should I Stay...

This cdr copy came direct from the original circulated tape.

The Clash: They Want To Spoil The Party So They'll Stay
Bill Holdship, Creem, October 1984
CREEM CONTRIBUTOR Mark Norton and I were talking several days before the Clash "invaded" Detroit, and we began discussing the concept of "armchair activism" and how the Clash probably fit into that category.

OUT OF CONTROL TOUR ‘84 ...with Mick Jones departed, a new five-man Clash hits the road to stir up interest and hone their chops: Joe Strummer (vocals/guitar), Vince White (guitar/vocals), Nick Sheppard (guitar/vocals), Paul Simonon (bass/vocals), and Pete Howard (drums)... Dates maybe a little mixed.

I saw them in Fresno of all places. The opening band, which I thought was pretty good, was getting boo'd and the audience was throwing things at them. Two songs into their set, Joe Strummer barges out from backstage, the band stops playing, and Strummer yells at the crowd "Shut the fuck up. These guys are going to be great some day and you are going to regret it." He marched back behnd the curtains, the band fired up again and everyone got into the music. The opening band was Los Lobos.

Ticket I happened to be at that concert. It was on Jan 29, 1984 at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium. I believe Los Lobos opened. My sister and I sneaked around back after the show and were able to say hello to Joe Strummer. Lori
