Sound quality
It is better though than this full audio recording of this gig, which is a very average audience tape suffering from distant sound and lack of clarity. It is an improvement on Aylesbury and Aberdeen from this tour though.
Bass, drums and Mick's guitar come through Ok but vocals are very distant. Joe's between song comments can be made out just. The great performance and atmosphere do a lot to overcome the sound's limitations and make this a bootleg well worth having. An upgrade nearer the master would be very welcome though indeed.
Rock Revolution Video
2 tracks - 5 mins
The "Rock revolution" vid is overdubbed with fake crowd noise. This is labeled often November 1978 inlcluding inthe video itself but with both audio recordings circulating - it is from this gig, the 2nd July.
'Rock Revolution' video states November [23rd]. 'I'm so bored' was not played there and 'London's Burning' has a different intro.
It is not clear who shot this footage and whether it was Hazan and Mingay for the Rude Boy film?
The commercial video Rock Revolution includes great footage of I'm So Bored With The USA and London's Burning from this gig.
The footage shows the Apollo crowd going crazy and the band leaping around the stage. Joe jumps down into the deep pit created between stage and audience before being pulled up by Mick and Joe. The video sound is not lip-synched and is only of a reasonable audience sound. Play the video, read the comments here, The Clash | Facebook or here, The Clash Official | Facebook

Northern RAR Carnival on the 15th
Manchester Apollo Theatre
The O2 Apollo Manchester, originally opened in 1938, is a historic concert venue in Ardwick Green, Manchester, England. With a capacity of 3,500, it has hosted a wide range of rock, pop, and comedy acts, making it a premier concert venue in England[3].
In the 1970s and 1980s, it became a prominent location for music performances, featuring artists such as AC/DC, Queen, Genesis, The Jacksons, The Clash, The Jam, U2, The Who, and many others[4].
The O2 Apollo Manchester is a Grade II listed building and has been the site of significant performances and events over the years[3].
In 1984, it was set in a wasteland that was the inner city Britain in the 80's, derelict, piss ridden, littered with broken glass and dogshit amongst the crubbling victorian rubble, broken walls and cracked pavements, rusted victorian railings with an ever present air of fear. A large old cinema still used, but without the seats nowadays, it has a balcony at the back.

Highly enthusiastic Apollo crowd
This was a great charged up performance spurred on by a highly enthusiastic Apollo crowd. Manchester (and Glasgow) crowds always seem up and enthusiastic.
The gig went down so well Joe asked Johnny Green to fit in another Manchester date next day on their day off, at the Rafter's club. Riot of Our Own pg63
This night the band played 2 encores, ending surprisingly with Guns On The Roof and the audience still roared for more.
The recording starts well with the first chords of Complete Control accompanied by an ecstatic girl's scream. The recording captures the atmosphere fairly well although talking near the taper is a problem with some songs. Cheapskates gets a dedication to "our manager Bernie" and before an excellent Clash City Rockers Joe shouts abuse at the bouncers who are stopping the audience getting closer and dancing.
The audience clap noisily along to Police & Thieves which segued into Blitzkreig Bop; now longer in length and with vocals. There is an edit a few bars into What's My Name. The first encore begins with I'm So Bored With The USA which Joe intro's with a half audible rant about presumably the video film crew "you people here are alright but you people stealing my soul in the back row, I hope you go out and choke on it!"
The first encore ends with a blistering White Riot and the audience scream for more getting an almost unprecedented second encore of a reprised Complete Control and Guns On The Roof.
Were you there when the Cash ignited Manchester's Apollo?
Or did you catch them at another electrifying gig during their heyday?
On this date in 1978, THE CLASH stormed the Manchester Apollo, delivering a blistering set that would be etched into the memories of those fortunate enough to attend. This performance, part of their 'Sort It Out' tour, showcased the band at the height of their powers, blending raw punk energy with an evolving musical sophistication.
The Apollo, a Grade II listed building opened in 1938, had by the late 1970s become a crucible for rock and pop acts. On this particular night, it played host to one of punk's most influential bands. The venue's 3,500 capacity was likely pushed to its limits, with fans eager to witness Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, and Topper Headon in action.
The gig's setlist was a tour de force of THE CLASH's early catalogue. Opening with the frenetic "Complete Control", the band tore through a 21-song set that included fan favourites like "Tommy Gun", "Clash City Rockers", and "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais". The inclusion of covers such as Junior Murvin's "Police and Thieves" and The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop" demonstrated the band's diverse influences and their ability to make any song their own.
However, the night was not without incident. One attendee recounted a chaotic scene as the band took the stage: "The lights came on in a big flash, and the band launched simultaneously into 'Complete Control'. Then all hell broke loose. It seemed that almost instantaneously, everybody in the twenty rows behind us surged forward - running across the tops of the seats, over other people - and within seconds the row of seats in front of us had collapsed backwards, trapping quite a few people by their legs."
The support acts for the evening, SUICIDE and THE COVENTRY SPECIALS (later known simply as THE SPECIALS), received a mixed reception. SUICIDE, in particular, faced a hostile crowd. As one attendee, Wayne, recalled: "Suicide were booed mercilessly, I thought they were great had their album imported from USA with Frankie Teardrop on it, John Peel played them a lot."
Despite the tumultuous start, THE CLASH's performance was met with enthusiasm. The band even played an impromptu gig at Rafters the following night, demonstrating their commitment to their fans and their music.
The Manchester Apollo gig serves as a snapshot of a pivotal moment in British music history. THE CLASH were at the forefront of a movement that was reshaping the musical landscape, challenging societal norms, and giving voice to a generation's frustrations. Their performance that night, with its mix of political anthems and punk energy, encapsulated the spirit of the times.Loving the Clash | Facebook
The Apollo went wild with people standing on the seats
Ged Duffy - July 1978 started with The Clash playing the Apollo supported by Suicide and The Specials. The Specials were the first band on and the reception was mixed. I thought that they were great as they were different to any band around at that time with the Ska beat mixed with punk guitar and their movement on stage was great to see. Within a few months they would be massive and known by everyone. Next on were Suicide and I already owned their debut album so I was really looking forward to seeing how a Clash audience would take to them. Within a few seconds of the opening song starting the audience were booing and shouting at them. After a couple of songs the two guys in Suicide were shouting back at the crowd and sticking the V sign up to them. The crowd then launched an endless attack of bottles and cans at the stage until Suicide did a runner off stage which was greeted with massive cheers.
The Clash started with ‘Complete Control' and ‘Tommy Gun' and the Apollo went wild with people standing on the seats on the ground floor. Seats were getting broken and there were some scuffles with the bouncers in front of the stage. They did ‘Clash City Rockers', ‘White Man in Hammersmith Palais' and finished with ‘White Riot' and ‘Guns on the Roof '. The one thing I will say about The Clash is that if you were lucky to see them live, they never let you down and always put on a great show.
Secret word-of-mouth gig at Rafters
The following night they played a secret word-of-mouth gig at Rafters. During the day I had gone to town and walked past Rafters and there was a handwritten sign outside saying, "The Clash Live here tonight". When we got in we had missed Suicide, so I have no idea how they went down or how long they managed to stay on stage for but since there were only about 80 people there, I think they must have been okay. The Clash were amazing in a small venue and played a great set. I remember they had a banner that said FUCK behind them on the stage and Joe Strummer climbed up onto the rafters and hung from them during one song.
England in the 1970s
England in the 1970s was a much different place than it is nowadays. There were a lot of Trade Union strikes. During 1977 and 1978 the Ford workers, the miners, the bin men, and even the grave diggers were all on strike at different times. At one stage the whole country seemed to be a mountain of refuse with bin bags piled up on street corners and there was a major infestation of rats round most major city centres. The National Front blamed immigration for the lack of jobs and were actively targeting young people to join their party so a new movement started up called Rock against Racism to try and combat the rise in race hate crimes which were happening round most of the country.
Rock against Racism march and concert in Manchester
On Saturday 15 July, Slim, Derek and I attended the Rock against Racism march and concert in Manchester. We got to Strangeways Prison about 11am to join the march to Alexandra Park. There was a small stage set up outside the prison and there was a rally held where a couple of speakers made speeches about the movement and the threat of the National Front and basically got the crowd built up into a united unit. The vibe was amazing, there were punks, skinheads, students, Hippies, Beer Monsters, and normal folk all coming together with one common goal, to tell the NF to do one. There were several flat bed wagons with generators on board so that bands could play as we marched. At noon, the march started, led at the front by a calypso band and we got in behind the Leeds wagon.
The Leeds wagon consisted of Gang of Four and The Mekons. Each band would play two or three songs and then sit down to allow the other to play and occasionally they would just jam together. Gang of Four were totally different than any other band around at this time with a superb rhythm section built round one of the great guitarists of his time, Andy Gill. The other band, The Mekons, were another unique sounding band and they were great as well on the day. Their debut single ‘Never Been in a Riot' had just come out and that was a really good single as well and their follow up single ‘Where Were You' which is an all-time classic if you ask me.
We intended to drop back or move forward to check out some of the other wagons, but we stayed with this wagon since the music was so good. Deb Zee and two of her punkette mates were on board this wagon and Mick Hucknall was matching alongside us. Before the march rumours were rife that the NF would infiltrate the march and start fights from within and that there were various points along the route where they were gathering to attack us. We marched through the city centre and onto Moss Side and never saw any trouble at all.
The atmosphere during the march was like a carnival with people chanting against the NF, holding up the lollipop style Rock against Racism wooden signs (which became their trademark and were seen at all the later rallies), people were hugging each other and the noise was incredible. There were wagons containing Manchester bands, Reggae bands, Funk bands and there was a Liverpool wagon as well. Even the police who were walking alongside the march seemed happy and a few of them were dancing along to the various sounds coming out of every section of the march. The march took over two and a half hours to arrive at Alexandra Park since over 15,000 took part in it.
There was a crowd of over 25,000 already in the park waiting for the bands to appear on the main stage. We were greeted with applause and cheers as we got there, and it was an emotional moment showing Manchester coming together for a great cause which is something the city did again in May 2017 after an Islamic Terrorist killed 23 people leaving an Ariana Grande concert at the MEN Arena.
Jilted John was the compère of the event and the first band on was a Reggae band from Moss Side called Exodus. They were good but nothing special. A few months later they changed their name to X-O- Dus and in 1979 they released a single called ‘English Black Boys' on Factory Records. Buzzcocks came on next totally unannounced to the sound of John Maher playing the drum intro to ‘I Don't Mind', this was a shock to the crowd as they were supposed to headline the event, but they decided to let Steel Pulse do that instead. Buzzcocks were amazing and the whole 40,000 crowd were jumping up and down and singing along to them. I remember that they played ‘What do I Get?', ‘Ever Fallen in Love' and ‘Love you More'.
They got the party atmosphere going but the next band, China Street, brought it crashing back down again. They were a white reggae band from Lancaster and they were shite. Steel Pulse were brilliant as they played songs off their debut album Handsworth Revolution, dressed up as Klan members for ‘Ku Klux Klan', and got Buzzcocks on stage with them for the encore ‘Overall', it was a great day and I feel blessed that I was able to experience the whole event. I am so glad that we decided to do the march and not just turn up for the concert. The only downside was that the PA system was not great and at times the bands sounded like they were on a tinny radio especially as the wind blew the sound away.

Suicide's 2nd UK concert played in semi-darkness
[Comment] It was Suicide's 2nd UK concert. They played in semi-darkness with a bendy light on the synth and a shaky start. Most of the audience hated them loudly, but we loved it and cheered over the jeers. Electric and disconcerting.
Simon Eason-Brookes I was at the Mcr gig this tour. Suicide did not get a good reception

After Belle Vue
The aftermath of the violence at the Elizabethan Rooms in Belle Vue, #Manchester following The Clash in November 1977. Were you there? What are your memories? Pic courtesy of our 'Dirty Stop Out's Guide to 1970s Manchester'.
— with Linda Mee and Sarah Mee.
There was a crush going in
Mickey Carr - yes and it kicked off big time.
Steve Shy - the only thing i noticed that night was how good the clash were
Steven Brown - Yes i was at this concert, but i do not remember the violence, i just remember all the spitting.
Martin Ryan - I didn't see any violence. There was a crush going in, probably because it was pay on the door, so they stopped taking money and just let everyone in. It was Siouxsie and the Banshees and Subway Sect supporting.
The Pirates did play the Elizabethan for a So It Goes but that was another date. I seriously wondered if it was staged. Tony Wilson liked to talk up the violence at punk gigs on So It Goes which I never saw and I went to quite a few.
Judy Richards - That crush wasn't staged Martin- we genuinely thought we might die before the doors gave way. They only let people in after the doors collapsed.
Martin Ryan - No probably not Judy. But I did wonder why trouble happened when the Granada cameras were there. There was a flash point at the Electric Circus when Penetation played, which was the episode where Wilson talked about violence having always been a part of rock'n'roll. Something I never saw at any other Circus gig and, as I said, I went there a lot.
Judy Richards - I was there, I don't remember it as violence, just a massive crush to get in. They delayed opening, my friend & me were amongst those pressed against the large glass doors when they collapsed under the weight, it was scary but we still had a great night even with our sore ribs! Had the MEN poster about it for many years but then stupidly threw it out
security got very heavy handed
Kev Inturvey - 1978, Manchester Apollo , The Clash, me Nidge , Dave Heap and I think Mick O'Mick O'Shea, a lad gets onto the stage during White Riot. The security got very heavy handed with him and dragged him into the wings. Simonon and Jones dropped their guitars, waded into them, got the lad back on stage and finished the song with Joe Strummers arm round his neck. You don't forget stuff like that.

Paul McGee - I was at this show! The bill also featured the Innocents, led by ex-Jayne County guitarist Greg Van Cook, and the Coventry Automatics, who announced onstage that they were changing their name and would be henceforth known as The Specials...
one of the best
Martin Dodd - I was there one of the best
Niles Riddel - the kids wanted to dance and they were told they hD to remain seated. Joe thought they should dance too. lol
Wally Wharton - My first Clash gig.....

Frank Healy - I went to 8 shows on this tour. God I am sad and old !
They were brilliant that night and also at rafters the following night.
Ged Duffy - They were brilliant that night and also at rafters the following night. On this the 2nd of July 1978 i saw the Clash playing at the Apollo supported by Suicide and The Specials.

Horace Panter - The Specials
BLOG Tuesday 11th November - Manchester
Assemble in hotel reception 11.45 am, walk to Leeds train station (just around the corner) and train to Manchester. Just another day at the office. Hotel in Manchester is the MacDonald Townhouse. I have a suite - very nice. Doze off for an hour and it's off to the Apollo.
We first played the Manchester Apollo in 1978 when we were supporting The Clash. It was mayhem. Seats were ripped up and hurled into the orchestra pit. We played there again on the 2-Tone Tour in 1979; that was mayhem too - more interior destruction.
Somehow the venue got the message and took all the seats out downstairs - we've played there on every UK tour we've done since our reformation in 2009 and I still get lost backstage.
It's the largest single venue on this trip, 3,500 capacity. A large stage with a lip that kinda separates us from the audience. We spend a bit of time in sound check working on 'It's up to you' which, for some reason, hasn't quite gelled yet. We've moved it up the set a bit too.
Support from The Tones and the Sleafords and before you know it ... showtime. The set has developed its own pace now - starting with the majestic 'Ghost Town' - the full 11 piece band version is stunning.
Then gradually picking up speed with the punk rock last 15 minutes. It's always good to see people up the back of the balcony dancing away. Yes, you might have guessed - an absolute stormer of a show! 'It's up to you' sounds great. Moving it was a good decision.
Terry is very funny: "O.K. we're now going to play Spot the Retail Outfit ... Primark, TKMaxx, George at Asda ...". I must confess to feeling tired around halfway through; the big stage and the third show in a row, but adrenaline comes to the rescue (doesn't it always) and I get the energy from somewhere to power through the show. What a buzz!
Lots of mingling upstairs afterwards, hob-nobbing it with Roses (Stone), Carpets (Inspiral) and lots of other great and good Manchester types. A lot of people commented on how good the sound was. Take a bow Marcos......
