There is some confusion over photos accredited to the Music Machine on the 19th December, the Lyceum on the 28th and 29th. We know the 3rd January was filmed.

Clash clothes: 28th (appear same as the 19th and BOTH dated correctly by photographers)
Joe: red top/white
Mick: white/dark
Paul: black/white

Clash clothes: 29th (1) - We think this is NOT the 29th. They were taken by Terry Lott
Joe: green top/dark
Mick: red waistcoat over white shirt/white pants
Paul: black leather/leather

Clash clothes: 29th? (2) - we think this could be the 29th
Joe: white top/dark pants with studded belt
Mick: red top/dark pants
Paul: dark top/white pants

Photos from the Lyceum dates - presumedly the three dates; 28th, 29th December 1978 and 3rd January 1979

Photo by Ross Halfin: Classic Photo: The Clash at the Lyceum Ballroom, London, 1978

Clash on Parole have a Post with Photos form the 3x dates, Sunday Pics - 1978.12.29 – Lyceum Theatre

For this end of the year 78, the boys agree to make the Lyceum dance for three days, December 28 & 29, plus January 03, 79, but that's already for the future.

Magnificent series of black and white shots, taken I think on the 29th, remains to be sure, by Ross Alfin, and others, Big Up to dem but not at all to Iconic Rock Picture for the blurring of the photos. Too many long hours to "clean" dem to make dem more friendly, in addition, who today, who grew up with the Clash, would go to buy photos of the band, when we just have to close our eyes, one of the rare things that we can still do without too much difficulties !!

This evening, December 29th, in 1978, The Clash encloses the Sort It Out Tour at London Lyceum. Something like forty concert since October 13th for The Last Gang in Town. The band is finally near to conquer new territories but that, it will be another story …

Always this evening, but in 2015, I want to thank you, all, for your patience, all your comments and encouragements, all these sharings, virtual, but I know that one day we shall find ourselves good in front of a coffee or a beer, in any case one thank you for your excellent reception of the work which I tried to make during all dis year, very sincerely.

2015 not have been of the most nice, always too much horror, misfortune and not enough Rock’n’Roll, then for us, who share that, this page and all the others, continue to make The Clash live and especially all that the band has gave us, the curiosity, the desire to know other people, the life.

This evening, December 28th, in 1978, and for two days, The Clash will give a concert to the London Lyceum theater to end with a flourish its Sort It out Tour.

There is no date but we know the 3rd was filmed and they band are largely wearing black. And photos dated form teh 28th have Joe in red top - though this matches the 19th at the Music Machine!

ON THIS DAY ... in 1978, THE SLITS were again supporting The Clash at the Lyceum ballroom in London. All pics (c) Mick Mercer. I also saw them there on January 3rd 1979, so expect some of those in a few days, and those will be in colour which should be interesting, as colour film cost a fortune back then so I didn't often dabble. (If you want to get copies of these just open the pics individually to find links.)
