A good recording spoilt by some slight distortion and too much bottom end. Still very enjoyable.
The boot LP, Bring the House Down, has a better sound though a bit thin and may come froma different source. Joe announces "Should I Stay or Will I Go"
The LP is edited down to 13 tracks

The gig was brilliant. Supported by german Clash-afficionados "Plan B" from Hamburg the gig started with power and energy. After the introduction by Kosmo Vinyl they entered the huge stage that was framed by TV-screens. It was like the boys were let loose after 3 years in captivity. For us in Germany it was not clear who the new boys were, we only new (no internet, no international press) that Mick Jones was sacked. So Strummer announced Paul as "Joe Strummer" and himself as "Mick Jones". They played a fantastic set, only "Should I Stay..." was horrible due to Nick's poor voice. We went out with the best hopes for the future, especially we hoped for a brilliant new LP. But....
I met Joe and Nick a couple of months later in Munich, when they told me they're just recording the new LP. I asked Joe , what's the title of the new record, and he answered. "Just what you expect" with a slightly depressed voice. They both seemed to be disappointed. After the record came out I knew why...
Great site, by the way. Keep on the good work, the fans need it and the band deserves it! Gerald

| 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. | ||
