Out of Control Tour
The Clash go Back to Basics - European Tour

cdr - good but thin - Sound 3 - 77min - 2nd gen - 24 tracks


The recording is a touch distant and has reasonable range and clarity of sound with some very mild distortion. The drums are clearly audiable as are the lead and vocals as ususal but the bass is lost. There may be slight upgrades to this knocking around.

this gig never took place. the band were scheduled to play Espace Ballad on the 23rd Feb. but this had to be re-sheduled to March 1st as a national lorry drivers strike blocked the trucks carrying the gear at Calais.
