Notes

Majestic Performing Arts Center

Audience Master Cassette

22 Fingernails (w/ Joe Ely)

Strummer, Jones, Simoneon, Howard

From the short series of US Festival warm up gigs. The San Antonio show took place one week before the Clash were to play in front of 150,000 people in what would be Mick Jones last show as a member of the Clash (kind of makes "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" bitterweet).

A bit of a different set list on this night than the previous Wichita Falls show, once again we get a rare outing of Lost In The Supermarket and Death Or Glory. In addition a we are treated to a great Charlie Don't Surf, Bankrobber and Armagideon Time plus the wonderful bonus of them bringing their friend Joe Ely out for the only recorded version of Joe's Fingernails with the Clash backing that I'm aware of, not to mention the knock out closer of I Fought The Law.

Quality is very good to excellent and after doing a side by side comparision, I think by adding a bit of treble to this one on playback it is better than the Wichita Falls recording. It definitely has more up front presence, again nice instrument seperation with vocals and all instruments clear and strong.
