The Clash:
They Want To Spoil The Party So They'll Stay
Bill Holdship, Creem, October 1984
CREEM CONTRIBUTOR Mark Norton and I were talking several days before the Clash "invaded" Detroit, and we began discussing the concept of "armchair activism" and how the Clash probably fit into that category.

Mar 27		Nashville, TN,
		You list the Cut the Crap-era Clash as playing Knoxville on March 27 and Nashville on March 28, 1984, but in fact those two dates are reversed (corrected now)--I went to both shows, and the Nashville show came first. The Nashville show was much better, but was marred by a bizarre crowd incident--my friend Dave W. was involved. He was standing on the bleachers like everyone else, but some drunk sorority girl from Vandy kept kicking him in the back of his legs for half the Clash's set. He finally got fed up and kicked her back, and it sent her falling over. It broke her leg in three places, and show security immediately set after Dave, who had to flee immediately or get the shit knocked out of him. She was taken to Vandy hospital of course, and after hearing about her side of the incident, Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon paid her a visit in hospital before moving on to the show in Knoxville at UT Alumni Hall, a much smaller venue about 3 hours away by car. Tav Falco & Panther Burns did in fact open both shows, but only at the Nashville show were they the full line-up--they played a full opening set at Vanderbilt in the basketball auditorium, but by the time they played Knoxville, the second guitarist and the piano player had quit and--of all people--Alex Chilton was drafted in to play guitar in their place, even though it immediately became clear to the audience that Alex obviously did not know the songs at all. The "band" played about 6 songs in total, and the booing got so bad that the drummer stopped playing (c'mon Ross) several times to smile and sarcastically blow kisses at the audience. GmbH Vince White describes this gig in his Clash biog, The Last Days of the Clash, page 109. He mentions an interview the band did for Channel 4 which appears on US TV that night.
Mar 28		Knoxville, TN, Alumni Memorial Gym on the University of Tennessee campus
		Clash in Knoxville, TN on March 28, 1984, at the Alumni Memorial Gym on the University of Tennessee campus. Opening act was Tav Falco and the Panther Burns, a rockabilly band from Memphis. They were booed off the stage after just a song or two. The band also played a show in Nashville, but I'm not sure if it was before or after the Knoxville concert. Whichever one was earlier was the opening date for the tour. Confirmed dates: Knoxville 27th, Nashville 28th from audience member.

		Joe contracted syphillis and was treated at a local hospital.  It was in the newspaper the next day. I saved the article. The first song they played the floor monitors werent working so joe kicked them violently and one fell off of the stage. He had his newly cut mohawk.  I think the first song was know your rights.  The show had large video monitors behind them showing them in a car driving around NYC.  I bought a shirt there with 2 girls dancing on the front saying "jive after five" on the back said "steel jungle" 84 R & B showdown.  I still have it.  It was a good show overall despite the sound.  It was in the gymnasium at vassar college in poughkeepsie NY.  There wasnt an opening band.  If you want a scan of the article or tshirt let me know.

		I saw the Clash perform at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY when I was a mere 6th grader. That concert changed my life. I vaguely remember that it was a Sunday night in '83 or '84. I was also at that show. I had to google search it because, even though I remember it and it was awesome, there was a part of me that didn't think they could have possibly played there... Glad to know it was real - pretty damn awesome! danielle robarge

		I remember seeing Clash 2 in the spring of '84 at Rider College in New Jersey. The band was awesome and I hung around afterwards and got everyone's autograph (including Vince) and spoke with Joe briefly. I asked him what was up with Mick and he replied "the hot news is that Topper is out of the band". I told him the new stuff was great and how I was looking forward to a new album and he replied with something to the effect of they were going into the studio after the tour. I remember waiting and waiting for the new album and rushing home with the 'This Is Englad' 12" (along with the 'Bottom Line' 12") and being worried that the production was a bit weird.

		"First i would like to say the clash made my whole entire life. My parentss owned a restaaurant for 20 years in the 80's we spent moost of our time going to clash concerts in the northeast. I have to share this story for once in my life, The clash was playing one night at u mass dartmouth, my gran worked there and was called to the reheresal site t here was a blood drive and the boys were rehearsing . me gran was called to step it down a bit , she walked on stage and told mick jones to keep it doen and the had a cuppa with the rest of the band, she being english an all with the boyz as thy were from the same stock. Had. a grand time and it is something i will never forget that me grand told the Clash to be quiet!! buttheyhada cuppa and laughed"

		Hi, great site. I attended the first Pier 84 show, and both the Hofstra University and Stony Brook shows. The 2nd Clash were excellent, I was crushed when that Jose Unidos record came out, it was beyond disappointing. Anyway I hope to write some recollections for you of the shows soon, as they were all amazing in their own way. Thanks, Ed Fingerling" "I was at the 1984 Stony Brook University show--I was the 14 year old kid sitting on the speakers right off stage" Brian Vince White describes arriving in New York in his Clash biog, The Last Days of the Clash, page 118 "1984 in Stony Brook. That show sucked big time, they came out (minus mick - this was lawsuit time or something) and then played like 2 or three songs and walked off - they never came back, all my friends were furious, i was like, "yeah mee too, fuck joe strummer," and as we were filing out of the gym we walked past the stage and i was like "oooh joe strummer was drinking out of thissee here solo cup!!" I grabbed it and slugged down the rest of his beer." Julie "I attended the 1984 Clash show at Stony Brook University and it was nothing like what was described. I remember being thrilled that I would be able to see them in such a small venue. I also remember going to buy tickets and the gathering crowd was very excited to be able to go see The Clash show. The night of the show, the crowd was loud and rowdy. At the time, this college had the reputation of being a liberal hotbed and being very open minded. Unfortunately most of this "liberal" crowd expected Mick Jones and The Clash from Combat Rock and so they were a little let down. Despite all this it was a rocking show as the guitars were cranked up. I can't recall the setlist but they played a wide selection of songs. My friends who were not Clash fans thought that they put on a good show. Joe looked very cool in his mohawk and was quite the showman.The Clash were definitely there for more than 3 songs!" Gene

		I still have mixed feelings about the May 2, 1984 Montreal Clash Mack II gig. Joe had this white suit and Paul wore camouflage trousers. The other guys ? Can't remember, except they looked punk. Pete messed up at least three times, which got Joe very irritated. Maybe it was just a bad day... It was an all-seated floor, but when Joe told the crowd to get up and dance, it was a rush to the stage that made the Forum bouncers very scared ! The cops were called in and one punter stole a police cap and gave it to Joe, it was hilarious ! As for the setlist ? I remember they played In the Pouring Rain and Sex Mad Roar, among others. BtT

Happy Birthday, Joe Strummer Needles + Pins

Happy Birthday, Joe Strummer

If he was still around, Joe Strummer would've been 57 today. The Clash is one of those bands that was so good, sometimes I can't believe they were real. I saw them when I was in 9th grade. It was after they had kicked Mick Jones out, but still. I stood right in front of the speakers and my ears rang for 3 days after. It was awesome.

Apparently, I also saw Alex Chilton that night! In googling to find out the exact date of that show, I found this here:

"Tav Falco & Panther Burns did in fact open both shows, but only at the Nashville show were they the full line-up--they played a full opening set at Vanderbilt in the basketball auditorium, but by the time they played Knoxville, the second guitarist and the piano player had quit and--of all people--Alex Chilton was drafted in to play guitar in their place, even though it immediately became clear to the audience that Alex obviously did not know the songs at all. The "band" played about 6 songs in total, and the booing got so bad that the drummer stopped playing several times to smile and sarcastically blow kisses at the audience."

I sure as heck don't remember that, but maybe that's when the seed of my Big Star/Alex fetish was planted. It's definitely when my affinity for bass players started. Hellooo, Paul Simonon!

Anyhoo, back to Joe and the Clash. Thought we could celebrate with a special edition of N+P TV.



I realize that Mick sings this song, but Joe Strummer just looks so freaking COOL in this video. Is there a DVD of the Shea Stadium concert?


Career Opportunities from Shea:


The Clash--The Avis of RocknRoll:


The Clash on Fridays. I loved that show! They had the best musical guests.


White Riot from Rude Boy. Remember when they used to play that movie on USA Night Flight all the time? Night Flight--I loved that show, too.


And to wrap it up, a two-part interview w. Joe post-Clash.



Happy Birthday, Joe! Hope they got cake where you are.

The New Paper
Bikinis' big draw at property launch
WOULD you buy a piece of property because of 100 bikini-clad babes?

That's what a developer in Chongqing, China hoped, when it launched a new piece of real estate by organizing a bikini contest on site.

On Saturday, almost 100 girls showed up in bikinis in hopes of winning the 10,000 yuan ($2,100) grand prize money and the title of 'Golden Goddess' at the 'Bikini Fiesta', reported China News.

The developers even created an artificial beach in the middle of the construction site for the event. But the unusual marketing tactic has created some backlash. Some said that the cheesy set-up and use of scantily-clad women were too low-class and vulgar, and was degrading to the women of Chongqing. But others said the marketing stunt was a success, judging from the thousands of male gawkers who showed up. China News reported that the developer placed ads in several local newspapers to attract participants and draw a sizable audience to the bikini contest. It claimed that to create the artificial beach, it imported seawater from the Mediterranean region, and sand from a beach in Cannes in France, to create a lake and 1km-long beach. The event organiser had hoped to attract one thousand bikini babes to join, but less than 100 showed up.

Nevertheless, the sight of so many young women wearing bikinis was enough to attract thousands of eyeballs.

The development site was packed, with many using their cameras or anglophones to film and take pictures of the women.

Most of them, though, seemed to be there to look, but not to buy.

A member of the public, who was identified only as Mr Jingo, said:

'The developer may be using this as a sales gimmick, but would you really buy a house just because you saw a bikini babe?'Bikini "bikini contest" Goddess Golden Fiesta chinese China twitter.com/mrjyn @mrjyn mrjyn @nichopoulouzo nichopoulouzo #Bikini #Goddess #Gold #Fiesta #CHINA #followfriday #youtube #video #hashmarks

James Burton is attempting to make history today at the James Burton International Guitar Festival - Guinness record attempt at guitar fest today | shreveporttimes.com | The Times

James Burton is attempting to make history today at the James Burton International Guitar Festival by gathering the most acoustic guitars and unplugged electric guitars played in unison for a five-minute period.

The 2 p.m. record attempt could land participating guitarists a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Organizer Janie Landry said the response has been overwhelming. “One of the last times we checked, we had at least 500 entries and people can still register even on the day of the festival.”

Today’s events begin at 9 a.m. with a guitar talent showdown, showcasing the talents of area youths ages 6 to 21 at the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum.

A concert this evening will feature performers like Grammy Award-winning guitarist Steve Lukather and Jennifer Batten, perhaps most recognizable as the blond Mohawk-wearing lead guitarist for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” “Bad” and “Dangerous” tours.

The line-up will also feature Junior Brown, Nokie Edwards, Shreveport’s own Kenny Wayne Shephard and more.

The theme is “A Tribute to Elvis” to celebrate the 40th anniversary of when Elvis Presley called James Burton and asked if he would put together a band as Elvis made his return to live performance and touring.

“In honor of that anniversary, we’re asking each performer to perform their favorite Elvis song in addition to their own songs,” Landry said. “We’re also celebrating James’ 70th birthday and the fact that he’s still working in the industry is significant. So, we’re having a party in Festival Plaza.”
