Notes


The Clash - Live at the Electric Circus Manchester UK, 9 December 1976, Anarchy Tour.

Joe Strummer - guitar, vocals
Mick Jones - guitar, vocals
Paul Simonon - bass
Rob Harper - drums

Great quality audience recording, and very rare as it features Rob Harper on drums, on the legendary Anarchy Tour of the UK in 1976, which also featured the Sex Pistols and Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers. Many dates on the tour were cancelled due to the hysteria about Punk Rock that had been whipped up in the media.

Tracklist
1 White Riot
2 I'm So Bored With The USA
3 London's Burning
4 Hate And War
5 Protex Blue
6 Career Opportunities
7 Cheat
8 48 Hours
9 Janie Jones
10 1977

Protex Blue is completely re-worked into a new song, seemingly called "Big Brother" or "Big Brother Is Watching You"

The music is the same, but the lyrics (sung mostly by Joe) are completely different. He even introduces the song with "and now we'd like to sing about... big brother arrived yesterday"

. By the time of the next gig recording (Harlesden March 3 1977) it has reverted back to Protex Blue.
