Out of Control Tour
The Clash go Back to Basics - European Tour
cdr - good but thin - Sound 3 - 77min - 2nd gen - 24 tracks
Not a bad sound again on this, and similar to many of the 84 shows, but not quite as good. The clarity is goodish without being excellent, as is the width of the sound. There is some echo from the taper being a little back, but not a lot. Its also has some slight over amplification as the sound rises. Police & Thieves cuts at 4.02, though a lesser source (that came in orange sleeve below) has a full Police & Thieves. As the song closes out Joe mutters 'Blitzkreig Bop'. Perhaps he thinks its 1978?
Through all this Joes vocals, particularly between tracks comes over loud and very clear. the drums bash away clearish, as does the leadguitars. The bass is there loud if a little blurred.
This gig at Bristol is intense as are all the UK shows from the spring. Are You Ready for War stands out here as a great track.
Several tapes exist. All much the same. The fullest is slightly the inferior. An edited one is a marginal upgrade, though not worth missing the extra tracks.

| 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. Tickets stubs however stiff carry the 23rd date for a price of 80F which would have been about £6 at the time. | ||
