Quite a good sound on this recording, some distance and only the very lightest of overamplification on the bass detract.

Running some 19 minutes longer with more talk and three extra tracks the sound is slightly better, a bit fuller.
I played in the opening band
On february 1st, 1984 i played in the opening band for the clash at the fox theatre in san diego .. it was a great experience spending a considerable amount of time with joe and the band backstage after the show, at joe's request ..
we were called N-E-1 .. a very eighties name .. Joe told me we should change our name to the Cadillacs or the Eldorados or something Spanish sounding 'cause we were so close to the mexican border in San Diego .. Interesting that he later had the name Mescaleros ..
many picture takers / photographers were snapping away backstage, including some end of the night shots with our band and the clash ..
unfortunately, none of our people were taking any of the pictures ..
do you have any suggestions for me as to who might have some photos from that gig ?
thanks .. rob <405atcox.net>

San Diego, Fox Theatre
We Are The Clash: Reagan, Thatcher, and the Last Stand of a Band That Mattered
By Mark Andersen, Ralph Heibutzki
reference Stockton, Long Beach and San Diego
"The Clash wound through California, finally arriving at the Fox Theatre in San Diego on February 1. The show started late due to a standoff with authorities who insisted on a barrier in front of the stage in the 2,800-capacity venue. The band balked, despising such divisions between it and the audience.
Unable to get the powers-that-be to remove the barrier, Strummer channeled his anger, leading the band through a rousing show. While the newer songs came across well, many of the set's high points were Clash songs from 1977-78, songs that Jones had disdained playing, calling them "like the nagging old wife." Strummer, however, had never given up on the tunes, knowing they were important not only for the fans, but for reminding the band of its initial mission.
Toward the end of a blistering version of "White Riot"—a song that had once brought Strummer and Jones to blows when the latter refused to play it as an encore—were the lines "Are we going backward / or are we going forward?" This echoed the challenge Jones likely would have put to the band. But to Strummer, sometimes you had to go backward to get back on the right path to move forward.
The crowd's fervor had grown so intense by the encore that Strummer stopped the show to plead with people to back up so as to prevent anyone from getting crushed on the unwanted security fence. Despite the chaos, the show was a hopeful tour finale. Save for a ragged "Rock the Casbah"—Strummer stopped the song, had the band start it over, only to muff it himself after the last chorus—the group kept up with their singer, and the trek ended on a high note.
The real test was about to come: a return to their fervent—and demanding—British audience. Such fans could be jealous of the band's success abroad, and had noticed its lack of focus on home-front battles on recent records."
