My Dad saw The Clash when he was young. Said him and his buddies tried to risk smoking a jay real quick in the lot between songs. Back then, sound regulations were pretty much non-existent. Halfway through their joint The Clash fired up with this and he said his buddy went to say 'Oh Shit!' but all he saw was his lips moving, The Clash were absolutely deafening, even from the parking lot. And my Dad played them at no other volume when i was growing up.
