Quality is very good with all instruments and vocals clear and strong.

I only recently after being in my closet for 23 years put this on CD from the Master tapes and have traded it once about 3 weeks ago off the master, so, any circulating copies are no better than 1st gen.

This is my first torrent of hopefully many ftom my master tapes so please be kind.  
I had been taping for 3 months when I taped the Clash in Wichita Falls in one of five? warm gigs before their US Festival performance to break in Pete Howard as their new drummer.  All the shows were in secondary markets or smaller, this is the best of the 3 available warm up gigs.
I taped this show and the San Antonio show on the 22nd which featured Joe Ely as guest on the encores, I will happily torrent that one if there is an interest, quality is very similar to the 19th except for being a bit bassier than this gig.

Enjoy!

  1. Nice! This has my favorite Clash song on it, Death Or Glory, which they didn't seem to play live much. Thank you!
