The Clash - Atlanta 2.10.79

this is another show from the 'take the 5th tour'.The tour swings down south into Georgia and Texas but without the Undertones who left after the Toronto gig. The band and particularly Joe were excited and inspired by playing in the southern states for the first time. Money problems continued; with Epic not coming through, the road crew were particularly difficult with drastic measures needed by Johnny Green and Baker.Pennie Smith was at the gig taking photos; one at least is credited to Atlanta on the back cover of London Calling.so this is a great sounding gig but with an edge to it.i cant explain what but listen for yourselves,play it loud till the neighbours threaten to call the police,then turn it down and leave a comment.thanks!

i got home from work a few hours ago and look what i found in the letterbox.camden dave got this from a torrentty place or lime wire or something and did me a copy of it.its great to hear some new specials stuff.the sounds pretty good for a 30 year old audience recording.its just great to hear the specials from 1979 just to reaffirm that they sound as good today as they did back then.anyway you know everything about the band by now so its just time for me to be quiet and for you to listen(on a decent pair of headphones!)enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

The Jam - Live from Scumbag College

ok this absouloutely cracking live bootleg from the jam was recorded at reading university in 1979.i only called the post 'scumbag college' because of the label on the back cover and i thought it was funnier.its also the name of the university from the young ones.but im digressing now.this show has great sound so it must be a mixing desk recording.so hopefully youll really enjoy this show that showcases the legendary live power of the jam.so now put on your parkas and sta-press trousers (maybe some shoes as well if youre going outside) and dance, dance,dance.then after enjoying leave a comment.thanks!

The Jam - Live at the Rainbow '79

for the 2nd post this month another fine show from the jam from their 1979 tour.recorded at the rainbow theatre in sunny londons finsbury park its another testament to what an exciting live band they were.i believe this was originally a bootleg which was later released as the bonus disk from the 'BBC box set' but was only limited edition so it has now resurfaced as a boot again!

so put on your parka and your sta-press trousers,crank this up to 11 and dance like it was 1979.oh yeah, enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!
