Sound quality
A nice sounding recording, one of the best on this US leg of the tour. However it suffers from constant digital clipping, some tape speed problems (too slow) and dodgy editing however.
Clipping, speed and editing apart which is slight but continual, this audience recording is good. A good wide range with very good clarity spoiled only by the taper being at the back of the hall. The bass, drums vocals and lead come through very clearly. A good 4 without the clipping. Interesting tracks include he unreleased In the Pouring Rain and Broadway/Junco Partner.

Keil Opera House, St Louis Missouri
In June 2009, it recived a £79m refurbishment.
The Stifel Theatre (originally known as the Municipal Opera House and formerly the Kiel Opera House) is a civic performing arts building located in St. Louis, Missouri. The construction of the building began in 1932 and it was opened to the public on April 21, 1934 as a part of the "Municipal Auditorium and Opera House" 2. The theatre was in operation until 1991.
The Opera House was part of the original Municipal Auditorium complex, which also included an auditorium back-to-back with the Opera House 4. The complex was designed by St. Louis architects Louis LaBeaume and Eugene S. Klein 1, 2, 4.
The Opera House was named in honor of former St. Louis Mayor Henry Kiel 2. It was an active venue during World War II, hosting shows, concerts, and U.S.O. dances 1, 5. The Opera House was home to the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra from 1934 until 1968 5. In the 1950s, rock concerts and touring stage shows joined the regular rotation of performances at the venue 1.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 5 but was closed in 1991 for the construction of the Kiel Center, and remained vacant for a while 3, 5.
However, it was renovated and reopened under the name Peabody Opera House in 2011 3, 5. In 2018, the building entered a 10-year naming rights agreement with Stifel Financial Corp. and was renamed the Stifel Theatre 5.
The Stifel Theatre features seven venues, including an ornate main theatre with a seating capacity of approximately 3,100 1. Its facade extends 322 feet along Market Street frontage on the Memorial Plaza as part of St. Louis' most significant grouping of civic buildings 1. The Opera House is all that remains of the original complex and extends south approximately 250 feet where it meets Enterprise Center, the arena completed in 1994 that replaced Kiel Auditorium 1.

I was there. I have the ticket stub with the venue shown. Here's a review in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch two days later:

It was a great show
In 1984 a friend of mine and I went to see The Clash at the Kiel Opera House in St. Louis. I have stumbled across a bootleg recording of that exact show, not just from the tour, but the very concert I saw. We sat in the balcony next to a self proclaimed pimp and two of his...associates.
It was a great show. There are things I remember him saying "Porngraphy is rape, all you playboy and pent house readers" Joe Strummer was cool and hearing it again is incredible, this was the first tour post Mick Jones. so NOT the classic lineup but cool none the less. It also includes my fav. Clash song which I've only heard live as I don't think they recorded a studio version "In the Pouring Pouring motherfucking rain!"
My friend hated it, called it the longest song he ever heard. a few weeks later he bought us Huey Lewis tickets and I refused to go......I mean I was best man at his wedding......but I just found;t sit through huey
