Five Alive LP
Touch thin & swirly - Sound 3.5 - 1hr 30mins - 26 tracks
Complete Control
Whilst very clear it is also a bit thin at the top end and their is some distance from the recorder to the sound. On the vocals and bass too there is some mild distortion though all instruments are for the most part very clear, particularly the bass which is unusual.
It contains one of the best sounding versions of Glue Zombie.

Various State Recordings
From: "Rikard Gustafson" <rikard.gustafson[at] tjelvar.org>
Various State Recordings
Sweden 1984
The Swedish radio broadcast the the gig the night after Stockholm ’84 and the producers worked really hard on presenting the new tunes but started up with London Calling. Unfortunately my tape was damaged.
Stockholm 81
The ones I recorded myself when we followed them around the whole fxxxing globe I sent to my parents so they were intact. We recorded two sources.
From what I can recall the SQ was superb but when we pressed our copy of Stockholm ’81 we used my source (It was named “När Djurgår’n fick flytta ut för The Clash” b t w) and Michael, a friend and fellow punter placed his tape recorder in front of the master board.
This alternate source was later used for “Stockholm’s Burning” and it sounds a bit better but this source has this guy who’s talking all the time between the tunes. My source has the idiot who screams “White riot!” behind me when Joe talks. I like mine better but everyone else prefer Michaels…
European State Radio Stations
Greek Radio 85
The Greek state radio recorded this show. (I contacted them a long time ago) but all European state archives are closed for people outside; we can’t buy or hire.
Swedish Radio
When I asked an old Clashist friend and journalist on SR ( Swedish Radio ) what had to be done to get all those shows ( Malmö, Lund, Örebro ’77, Eriksdal ’80, Stockholm and Gothenburgh ’81 and ’84, they have them all - complete with perfect sound!)
I got the answer that if a show is asked for by more than 1000 people they’ll put it on the list for P3 Live, a live show every night at 21.00. (Have a look att www.sr.se and go to P3 Live and see the program and old shows.) Unfortunately it’s only 1 hour and therefore edited.

Review
Same reviewer as for the Stockholm 81 gig, Jan-Olov Andersson, the show start’s of with some words from Joe about the new Clash - We will be as punkier as ever. And the Clash keeps their promise, last night the Clash played with so much heat, energy and passion that it was ages a show like this was played in an arena this big.
The reviewer expectations of the gig was not high as the last time Clash played Stockholm (1981) they were careless, played long raggae improvisations and had a really bad sound. The new guys gets the credit for the vitamin injection the new Clash has. Not many bands can get an audience this big feel like they are on a more intimate venue but The Clash showed that they can along with Springsteen, Bowie and the heavy metal bands.
The new songs gets thumbs up but not everything was perfect at the show, the sound was bad from time to time but overall The Clash showed that they have the energy and feeling for a rock ’n’ roll show when it’s at the best!

Hey, talking about the Swedish magazine Schlager, here are some scans from No 86 from 1984. They had this article about The Clash when they played Stockholm and they took photos of everybody involved, eg the band, fans, security, crew, police and so on…
Here’s a selection of photos of The Clash, the fans (I’m number three from the right, I was hanging out with the band backstage when they pulled us out for a photo, great memory), Cosmo and two of the roadies.

Terrible acoustics
Scott Smith I was in the nosebleed section. I was an exchange student from Wyoming, 18 years old, couple older Swedish friends chaperoned me from Falun to the show and back. Only way I could get a chance to see them though I would rather have seen the original lineup than the New Clash. So glad I had a chance to see them anyway.
Edvard Nissen Was at that concert ! (and got the green one)
åke Unger I went to see the gig - held in a icestadium. With terrible sound. Like for all acts that ever played there before and after
Totte Q T Rottenburgh I was there too.
Håkan Ågren I was there
