Sort it Out Tour
updated 5 Jan 2010 - added 2nd alternate audio source?
updated 20 Dec 2014 - added correct set list from master
updated Dec 2014 added posters
Audio 1
Sound 1.5 - 61min - unknown generation - 16 tracks
Missing; London's Burning & White Riot
Garageland (version 1)
Audio - master?
sound 1.5 (some clipping) - 66min - 18 trks
Garageland (version 2)
Auido 1 was the only recording in circulation and was a poor one.
The *upgrade* is not much better and suffers clipping.
The old tape had a swirling distorted sound, lacking clarity and suffers some slight tape speed problems. It has a reasonable range of sound, if heavily distorted. The vocals can barely be made out which is a shame as both Joe and Mick make a number of comments between songs. The lead and drums just about come through OK. It suffers from over copying and an upgrade to this would be great.
Complete Control cuts off towards the end, so it’s not the full set, losing probably London’s Burning and White Riot, otherwise it’s the usual Sort It Out set list.
Joe remarks that the fact that there was no licenced bar meant that the youngest Clash fans could get in and see them
The extensive Sort It Out tour reached parts of the UK no earlier or subsequent tours would reach; here playing in the Cambridgeshire countryside at the little known Wirrina Stadium, Peterborough. However this was no stadium gig like those supporting the Who in 82 but an indoor part of the small scale venue which survived until 98!
Joe remarks that the fact that there was no licenced bar meant that the youngest Clash fans could get in and see them, little comfort for those wanting a drink!

Wirrana Stadium, Peterborough
Wirrina Stadium was a multi-purpose venue located on Bishops Road in Peterborough, England. It opened in 1968 and served various functions over the years, including a youth club, rollerskating rink, ballroom, and wrestling venue 1 2 3.
The stadium was originally built as a youth stadium, with the name "Wirrina" meaning "a place to go" in aboriginal 3. It hosted a variety of events and activities that were popular with the local community 2 3.
In addition to its use as a sports and entertainment venue, Wirrina Stadium was also known for its proximity to Stapleton's ice cream shop on Bridge Street, which was a popular spot for treats and memories 4.
The stadium remained in operation until its closure in 2010, after which it was demolished 3. It served as a significant part of Peterborough's cultural and social history for over four decades.
