Probably the best of all the Strummer/WHO shows for sound. Nott as distant as the others with a very clear sound.

Again Scott Shields nervous exhaustion precluded him from appearing and a stand in took his place. The band seem to be struggling with the new songs, the large empty(ish) halls and with the new line up now that Anthony Genn has departed. This would be Smiley Culture (drums) last gig with the band. Shame, he was a great drummer...
