Once in a generation, a band like this comes along - I thank god almighty they came when I was there to witness it.

[@samgub]

I was there two nights in a row, met the band as well, they signed my albums, a fantastic concert, The Clash and The Stranglers always delivered as a live act, we were lucky to have such a charismatic front man like Joe Strummer.

[@CraaigMaac94]

Fucking brilliant pal

[@revol148]

@samgub Bobby Gillespie and Alan McGee were also in attendance !

[@MultiJoe84]

@@revol148 you’ve read gillespies book too then? 😂

[@revol148]

@@MultiJoe84 yeah - twice the length it should have been given that the Primals have only ever released one half decent album in their entire career. Gillespie is planning a second - no way !

[@BobConanOwen]

Over dubbed or not - the best version of this song in the universe, ever!

[@cragboom3]

The brilliant Glasgow Apollo. Saw many punk bands there. Fantastic buzz

[@PBANDSNOW]

The Clash got me into music. I even remember the song...I fought the law was the first time I embraced my inner musician.

[@pittrek81]

The movie features a completely overdubbed audio track, and most of Janie Jones is cut. 3 of the 4 songs are available as soundboard bootleg recordings, so I have taken the video, re-created the missing bit of Janie Jones, and synchronized it to the excellent soundboard bootleg. E.g. check the parts where the security guys are throwing out the drunk guys, in the movie the sound comes from these guys cursing, now it's replaced by the concert sound :) I hope it's at least slightly more clear

[@hughgilbert93]

My first gig and what a gig! There was so much fighting beyween the bouncers and the fans it was right scary. Had water cannons from the fire brigade turned on us as we left the Apollo, nice. The Clash best band ever in my wee opinion.

[@naelaismail3052]

My dad was there as a university student, he only remembers the song 2 4 6 8 motorway. Just found the video super excited to show

[@PBANDSNOW]

This is the Clashs Stairway To Heaven!

[@calumjohnstone6184]

Glasgow Apollo had the best atmosphere ever Yeeeeaaaah

[@calumjohnstone6184]

Missed this gig gutted still

[@rodrigoraulsuarez]

Amazing band The Clash.

[@ErK82]

It was originally released as a 7-inch single, with the b-side "The Prisoner"

[@pittrek81]

The video features in the Rude Boy movie. But they cut out the first part from Janie Jones and overdubbed various parts of the video with a later studio re-recording. Do you remember the parts where the security guys throw out the drunk fighters ? In the movie, the sound during these parts is completely different. Fortunately 3 of the 4 songs are available on the bootleg market, and are taken from the soundboard. So I have taken the video from the movie, re-created the missing intro to Janie...

[@wakefordnicolas2824]

[@yesemitesam333]

I still have my ticket stub for this gig. £2.50 for Row X in the stalls. If it wasn't for the fact that I still have the ticket I couldn't swear to being there as I don't remember a bl**dy thing about it.
