The Clash | Red 2xVinyl LP | On Broadway - New York Broadcast
Description:
In support of their 1981 album Sandinista!, The Clash played a series of 17 concerts at Bonds International Casino in New York City in May and June 1981. Due to their wide publicity, the concerts became an important moment in the history of the band. Some of the nights were recorded for FM broadcast. The concerts captured The Clash on the cusp between being a cult band and their short-lived major market penetration in the USA. As always with The Clash, ticket and merchandise prices were set relatively low. Prices were $10 per ticket and $5 for matinee shows. The band had a new opening act every night, including The Fall, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Kraut, Lee "Scratch" Perry and many more. Some of the hip-hop groups that opened were either picketed or booed off the stage, which prompted Strummer to chide the audience as soon as The Clash came on afterwards. This new 2LP set features the band’s 9th June show at the Casino, recorded, as mentioned, for live FM Broadcast, and featured here in its entirety for the first time on vinyl.
