When Kerrisdale rocked

Original online has been taken down
[Extract, The Clash] It reached a height on June 26, 1982 when the Clash performed at the Kerrisdale Arena. With a stage draped in camouflage netting, and blaring police sirens, The Clash-arguably at the height of its popularity-was in full swing of the Combat Rock Tour promoting the album of the same name. The arena swelled with an audience of 4,000 in attendance, with hundreds more hanging around outside, hoping for last minute tickets or to hear the band from outside the walls. Inside, The Clash performed a near two-hour show-with a split screen backdrop displaying slide images of war, nuclear power, racism and images of the Third World and Middle East.
Columnist Bill Tieleman, who attended the concert, was at the time a political science student at UBC. He vividly recalls the night, as much as the atmosphere in the streets of Kerrisdale. "It was a real event. There were people all over 41st Avenue with mohawks, and for one night it was more like 'London Calling' than the 'tea-and-crumpets-London' of Kerrisdale."

20 odd days earlier, The Jam played their final North American show ever at the same venue. Weller left a message scrawled on the dressing room wall for Joe.

If you had asked me who may favorite bands were in 1982 I would have listed the Jam and the Clash.
Ironically, both bands played a community hockey rink in suburban Vancouver that year and neither show did much for me.
To my ears and eyes the Clash were touring behind a marginal record and they were starting to wear on each other's nerves. Topper Headon was out and Terry Chimes was back behind the drum kit. They seemed distracted to me, going through the motions. Before the encore Joe Strummer made a remark about the audience reminding him of California. It didn't feel like a compliment.
The Jam didn't play a bad show but they were headed away from the Jam that I was hoping for. I wanted All Mod Cons and what we got felt more like Paul Weller had already moved along to what we would come to know as the Style Council. I like soul music and R&B just fine but I wasn't that excited by his version of it.
Neither show was a disaster, they just didn't meet my expectations.
