Out of Control Tour
As part of the celebrations by the Italian Communist Party who's leader, Enrico Berlinguer, died june 11 1984.

cdr - good sound but clipped - Sound 4 - 96min - low? - 25 tracks

An average sound. The sound veers toward the bottom end and the top end is a bit dull. But the guitars and drums all come across clearish. A very lond and slightly distorted recording.

The last three tracks have a mnore subdued/quiter sound. there is also some drop out on one channel in the middle section.

This is a great little sequence of gigs for unusual renditions and jamming versions. Again London Calling opens with a long instrumental run up.

Recording Cut the Crap

As part of the celebrations by the Italian Communist Party who's leader had just died or something. According to Vince White in his Clash biography The Last days of the Clash, page 173 the band flew to Milan. It was a hastily set up tour. The first date was down in Salerno before returning back north through Italy.
Sep 4? Salerno

Vince White notes this opening night of the mini-tour in his Clash biography The Last days of the Clash, page 174

I just read on BMC that on vince's book there is a phantom date in salerno on the 4th of sept. 84. I have to say that he's wrong! They played in Cava de' Tirreni that is a small town between Naples and Salerno (15 km to salerno an 40 km to Naples) on the
sept 6. The mistake is due to the fact that at that time the stadium where the salerno football team played was in Cava (Stadio Simonetta Lamberti). And the clash played there! Sorry vince, but i'm absolutely sure about it!
Sep 6 Cava de’ Tirreni (close to Naples)
just a line to say that in 1984 on 6 of september (i taped the show) i was in Cava de’ Tirreni (close to Naples) for a Clash gig at the Stadium.
Sep 7 Arena Palasport, Rome, Italy
...Festa Dell Unita
Sep 8 Reggio Emilia, Italy

Vince White remembers this gig in The Last days of the Clash, page 174
Sep 10? Turin - Stadio Communale
Apparently they sound checked for the gig but the local council cancelled it at the last minute. Vince White remembers this gig in The Last days of the Clash, page 182
