Anthony Genn had now left the band and Scott Shields was resting following illness.

Another distant (and quiet!) recording but a lot more people seem in the hall for a Strummer hometown gig. Again quite clear but some slight overamplification. Very similar to the Sheffield recording.

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's last gig with the band. Shame, he was a great drummer...

Did you go? What do you remember?
