Bournemouth Stateside





this was way better, much more intimate

Paul Hurst: I was there & at the Poole gig a couple of nights earlier, this was way better, much more intimate. Poole arts centre was awful for gigs, far too straight, but easy to sneak in to. The Poole gig was when Strummer got busted after the gig at the hotel room spawning the headline "Punk Joe in hash clash at hotel" which appeared on some copies of the Police & Firemen Boot. Never found an audio recording of this gig but the Poole gig is on you tube. Search for The Clash Wessex Hall.





a great night

Johnny Harrison: I was there and it was a great night though the Portsmouth show on the 9th was even better...

    Review

    Tight solid performance just post London Calling release billed as the 16 Tons. The Stateside was a venue in an underground bowling alley formed in early 60s concrete on Redfern Road in the Village Bowl complex. Sonically hard on the ears, very loud with a hard floor and sweat condensation forming on the low ceiling and walls—a perfect setting. The south coast crowd of aging prog converts, teenage punks, the odd mod [hurling phlegm and racist abuse at the support act Mickey Dread] and assorted musos. Mr Dread appeared solo toasting over a sound system soundtrack based on African Anthem and the imminent World War 3 Long Players. Many non-plussed non reggae heads in the audience but appreciated by those in the know. The venue went dark and on came assorted roadies and then moving lit cigarettes in the dark as Jones [band's right], Headon, Strummer [centre] and Simenon [left] burst into the opening number, Clash City Rockers. Hard guitar rock'n'roll, Loud, raucus and on track with the first album in terms of rawness, the band held it together for well over an hour with a short encore and then they were gone. Strummer led the band playing hard rhythm guitar stabs across Jones abrasive lead and moody death stares—'offering out' the schoolboys on the left in the audience... "wanna fight mate?". All the great first three album songs got an airing along with a couple of average tracks that in this setting became stellar. The Clash. The only band to follow...
