Sound quality

Link to If Music Could Talk

Good copies circulate, but a rarer version is much better copy than older versions. It is also longer and suggests the tape versions (below) have been edited at some point.

The upgrade from a different source is a much lower gen copy and it has a great sound but is a bit thin also pushing the G. Equaliser to the limit to bring out the bass.

It is very clear having said that, if a touch distant, with great range and clarity. The vocals and lead and the differing drums clearly made out though the bass is lost. There is no distortion.

Edinburgh Playhouse





before the band comes on sid vicious does my way on the tv screens

"Clash at the Playhouse Edinburgh 84: before the band comes on sid vicious does my way on the tv screens, this hypes up an already hyped up crowd even further and the rush for the stage starts before the lights go out. Cosmo introduces the band, and their off, a good mix of old and new songs. Strummer berates the audience for gobbing and singles out an offender in the crowd, when he offers up the peace sign strummer isnt interested 'Dont give me that hippy shit you jerk, fuck off'."

"Mick Jones isn't missed musically, but the boy from bristol who's first single Jonesy gave the thumbs up to in Zig Zag all those years ago takes on his should I stay or should I go to mixed reaction. Its a fantastic venue and the sound is a lot better than the glasgow gig a few months previously when they knew they had to prove themselves, this time they were doing it."

Vince White describes this gig extensively in his Clash biog, The Last Days of the Clash, page 78
