Nov 18, 2008 - Look at the set list, Joe Strummer's hair and espescially the dude playing organ. Its all from their 1980 US tour as they didn't work in any of the finer points from Combat Rock, Joe Strummer isn't sporting his travis bickle Hairdo and the organist only went along with them on their 1980 US and UK Tour.

Nov 18, 2008 - The night this aired I was working here in Milwaukee as a stage hand at the now defunct Palms club doing the load in and out for The Tourists (Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox) The crowd was thin and I was sitting backstage drinking a beer with Dave and Annie, and they said the low attendance was because it was the Clash's american telly debut!

Nov 18, 2008 - Combat Rock didn't come out til 1982. This is the tour supporting London Calling (hence all the songs are from that album).

punkace Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Thus the reason it doesn't include anything from combat rock, like I said.

Nov 18, 2008 - It may have been rebroadcast in 1982, but it originally aired in 1980. I graduated from HS in 1979 and I saw this during my freshman year at UT Austin.

Nov 18, 2008 - Do you remember the hand sandwich in the zombie diner? And Michael Richards in the sandbox? No one I ask has any idea what I'm talking about.

douqep Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I remember those sketches. I watched this show specifically for the bands. I remember the Clash playing on this show when it was first broadcast--I was shaking I was so excited. I was 15. The Jam played shortly there after and were amazing...except I never listen to the Jam anymore...

moparmonster1965 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Hey, someone posted the Michael Richards stuff; it's under battle boy. The quality is a bit poor, but I'm surprised they still exist at all.

sspo17 Says:
