Tickets
A friend of mine's father attended the May 26, 1983 Tuscon show and he made a scan of his ticket stub to e-mail to you so that you may add it to that portion of the site. I have been a life long clash fan and it's a privilege to share this with you. Thanks. -Gil R. < >
Tuscon AZ – University of Arizona Activities Centre
steve7701 - The show was general admission and it was held in the TCC Exhibition Hall, adjacent to the main arena. Not in the TCC Music Hall as previously listed. The venue listing wants to call it the Exhibit Hall but that's not what it says on the ticket.

The show was evangelical
great site! i found it while looking for the set list of the Clash show in Tucson, AZ in may 83.
a good friend and i bought our tickets the day they went on sale, and had told our girlfriends that we would be going without them; "you don't know the Clash/love the Clash, it will be crazy", etc. the scamps then proceeded to win free tickets on the radio...we were vexed, but OK, we went together to the music hall but separated upon agreement as we went in.
the two of them ended up right in front (the advantages of being female) and we were like 30 feet back. it hurt. but the show was evangelical! such energy, even playing to a small crowd! (capacity +/- 3,000; no seats, it was a huge floor mosh!) too bad they broke up soon after.
btw: Ed Arnaud's fotos are cool! i remember those bands and shows in Tucson. rob - < >
Terry Hales - I was there! Great pics. I especially like the one of Paul singing Guns of Brixton. For that song Joe played bass and Paul played Joe's Ignore Alien Orders Telecaster. My best friend and I were in the front row, right in front of Paul's mic stand (we lost the footrace to Joe's mic stand).
Chris Stevens - it was amazing, I went by myself even so glad I did!
Jeana Williams O'Connor - I was there!
David Burns - Yes, I was there too! My second Clash concert (I first saw them on June 13, 1982 at the Mesa Amphitheatre!).

Hi. Â Great site. Â I was at the Clash show on 5-26-83 in Tucson. Â It was at the Tucson Community Center Exhibition Hall. Â I have a few photos from that show that I took if you want to post them. Â Here's one. Â Let me know if you want a few more. Â I didn't get that many. Â I had to sneak my camera in and couldn't get too close to the stage due to slamming and also the bouncers back then would confiscate cameras. Here's a link to some other photo's of mine so you'll know I'm legitimate. Ed.

There is a slight correction to the Clash setlist. Straight to Hell was the first song of the initial encore and Train in Vain was performed before Clampdown during the second encore.
There are several sights that provide setlists but most mirror www.blackmarketclash.co.uk. They are worth checking.
from Setlist FM (cannot be relied on)
from Songkick (cannot be relied on)
... both have lists of people who say they went
& from the newer Concert Database and also Concert Archives
