Hi.  Great site.  I was at the Clash show on 5-26-83 in Tucson.  It was at the Tucson Community Center Exhibition Hall.  I have a few photos from that show that I took if you want to post them.  Here's one.  Let me know if you want a few more.  I didn't get that many.  I had to sneak my camera in and couldn't get too close to the stage due to slamming and also the bouncers back then would confiscate cameras. Here's a link to some other photo's of mine so you'll know I'm legitimate. Ed.
