Ickmusic Live: The Clash – Buy or Die!
If you’ve been checking in with Ickmusic for a while, you know by now that I can’t go very long without a Clash or Joe Strummer post. So without much setup, here’s a great audience recording of a late 1978 gig at London’s Lyceum Ballroom. Find out a lot more background on the show at Black Market Clash (a fantastic live Clash / Strummer resource – click here for the home page with the frames).
RIP Joe. We miss you.

Hey Pete, thanks for your clashing offer. Saw The Clash live once in the early 80’s … still an exiting high-energy experience to me, even 25 years later. But that’s not the only reason leaving a comment here … also wanted to express that the new layout looks great …

You know what I really hope for? A Dylan Bootleg Series type thing for The Clash. I love the sound on From Here To Eternity, and I would love to hear complete Clash shows in that pristine quality. Get that set up for us, Pete. Thanks in advance.

one thing i don’t get (but maybe i’m too tired now, means at work)…
if the whole gig is from December 28th, 1978 and the *-tracks are from December 28th… what’s the correct date?
i hate being so correct… sorry.
Pete
