The Clash made this appearance at Paul McCartney's Concerts for the People of Kampuchea benefit.
The band had toured America in Sep - Oct where some songs from the then unreleased London Calling LP were previewed. With that album fresh in the shops by this show, songs from it are now much more prominent in the set list. Also of note is a very early performance of Bankrobber in a more revved-up ska-like version, different from the soon to be released single which was much more in the reggae style of its "inspiration," Max Romeo's "Public Enemy Number One."
Joe Strummer - vocals / guitar
Mick Jones - guitar / vocals
Paul Simonon - bass / vocals
Nicky "Topper" Headon - drums / vocals
