Original setlist

Karl: I attended the April 28 1984 Clash show in Buffalo NY. It was at State University of New York at Buffalo, in the Alumni Arena on campus.

Somewhere around here I have a setlist that I wrote down from memory that
night, as well as a newspaper ad for the show, possibly my ticket stub, and
a review in the university paper with a photograph.

Just checking to see if you can use this sort of info on your site (which is excellent by the way). If so, ill start digging it up to scan for you. Thanks.

Alumni Arena is part of the State University of New York at Buffalo’s recreation and athletic complex, is located on the north campus of the university in suburban Amherst, New York. The State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, also known as the University at Buffalo, is one of the largest comprehensive systems of universities, colleges, and community colleges in the United States 4. 

Alumni Arena is a multi-purpose arena located on the university's North Campus in Amherst, New York. Built in 1982, the facility is part of a vast and sprawling campus which, incredibly, is almost perfectly designed for car travel – and that’s within the campus itself. An extensive renovation was performed in 2012, adding new chairback seating to reduce capacity to 6100, as well as additions of new lighting, video scoreboard, improved training facilities and a renovated concourse.

Tickets for the show were priced at $9 for students and $11 for non-students 1.

Now, archivists have uncovered rare photos from one of those shows.

The images show Strummer and Simonon, as well as Pete Howard (drums), Nick Sheppard (guitar) and Vince White (guitar) as they perform at the University at Buffalo’s Alumni Arena on April 28, 1984.

Tickets to that show, according to a flier, were $9 for students and $11 for non-students. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $20.64 and $25.22, respectively, today.

The Clash photos, taken by David S. Ottavio, are part of UB Libraries’ latest exhibit, Prominent Visitors, which examines some of the most influential people (Muhammad Ali, Allen Ginsberg, Robert F. Kennedy and others) to visit UB in the past 50 years.

Designer unknown/not credited (printed by Octobergraphics of Buffalo), medium thick glossy stock silkscreen poster is in decent/used (B-) condition; there is a 1&3/4" square chunk of paper missing from the upper right margin, along with a heavy amount of wear/tattering along the left/right margins, a series of well-camouflaged handling/stress creases, fingerprint smudges, a decent amount of pencil/pen scratch on the reverse (a layout for another poster)... definitely a well-worn example, but here's the deal... this one was INTENTIONALLY printed on a used/heavily worn piece of paper to give it a "street" appearance (as if it was posted in less-than ideal  conditions and hastily torn down); there are no tack holes/staple marks, tape stains or any other signs of public display- it was actually issued this way to begin with.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – By the end of 1983, the Clash had lost two key members: drummer Nicky “Topper” Headon and guitarist/singer Mick Jones.

Nevertheless, founding members Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon added three musicians and hit the road the following year for what would be the seminal punk band’s final North American tour.

Now, archivists have uncovered rare photos from one of those shows.

The images show Strummer and Simonon, as well as Pete Howard (drums), Nick Sheppard (guitar) and Vince White (guitar) as they perform at the University at Buffalo’s Alumni Arena on April 28, 1984.

Tickets to that show, according to a flier, were $9 for students and $11 for non-students. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $20.64 and $25.22, respectively, today.

The Clash photos, taken by David S. Ottavio, are part of UB Libraries’ latest exhibit, Prominent Visitors, which examines some of the most influential people (Muhammad Ali, Allen Ginsberg, Robert F. Kennedy and others) to visit UB in the past 50 years.
