The Clash Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, 091479 RESTORED

[@thirdcoast5755]

I was there. This was before London Calling came out, at least in the US, so Jimmy Jazz was kind of confusing. Then, when they kicked into Bored with the USA, the energy level really went up in the place. Undertones and Bo Diddley opened. Fun times.

This was the VERY FIRST TIME The Clash played in Chicago. Sadly, I didn't see the concert, but they did broadcast it on WXRT, so I got to hear it. Thanks for posting, and sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Heavy phaser pedal on guitar. Micky Gallagher perfect keyboard for this band.

[@barryrahn5957]

I was there too - and boy did the sound suck! Most of the time I wasn't even aware of what song it was until halfway through. But that bad sound didn't stop me from becoming a total Clash maniac.

[@jarrilsusio]

Bass line in "Armagideon Time" doesn't sound a little happier than it should?

[@bazarboy75]

@@jarrilsusio there was a period of time when the band played that track more in it original reggae version which is major mode so your hears works well mate

First off, they left out a "D" in Bo Diddley on the poster. Sound system sucked, Feargal Sharkey got pissed, and then North Side Punks started spitting at him. Undertones walk off stage without playing their big hit, Teenage Kicks. Thank you, Chicago. BO DIDDLEY starts playing, and his amp craps out in the middle of the set...Aragon Guys scurry around, sort things out... BO DIDDLEY wraps up set. Clash walk onstage, clothed & coiffed like Broadway dancers from the 1961 film version of West Side Story. Mush-Mouth cockily asks if Chicago's the Home of the Blues. Then the boys kick off with a sad, pale imitation reggae rendition of Julie & the Drug Squad. I WAS THERE...WORST SHOW EVER!!!
