Review : A superb CD. The sound quality is excellent and the mix is equally good. I particularly like the reggae based setlist of Clash songs (obviously because of where they are playing) on this show. It's a great performance by the group (Terry Chimes doing a good job on drums - this was his last gig with The Clash) and the group went on very early in the day, at around dawn. Kosmo Vinyl in the 'Introduction' track makes mention of this. In fact, it's worth having this for the quality alone, even though the performance is great. Being a big fan of One More Time makes it a favourite of mine, as the song is performed well. The guitar on Radio Clash is excellent, and this is the best performance of this song I've heard. Joe is on fire, and added sound effects make it sound even better. Definitely the best Radio Clash. The Guns Of Brixton opens to a great drum intro, and continues excellently. Mag 7 is performed great, and in two parts as well. There seems to be a lot more energy in the reprise (similar to the Who's On First CD), with Joe doing an extended rap with different lyrics. The way it kicks in after Armagideon Time is a nice touch.
