Clash/France 1980

A treasured recording of the Paris performance in which Lou Lewis participated from the “16 Tons European Tour” with a good stereo audience recording has appeared! A treasured recording of a live performance held on May 27, 1980 at the Palais des Sports, an indoor arena in Paris with a capacity of about 4,600 people, from the “16 Tons European Tour” held from May to June 1980, with a good stereo audience recording has appeared! The first half “Stay Free” is almost mono because there is no sense of separation, but each part is recorded with a well-balanced, clear and good sound quality. Until now, sound sources from copy cassettes have been distributed, but in this work, it has been digitally transferred directly from the master. There is a slight gap at the end of “Stay Free”, but the rest is completely recorded, and the pitch and positioning deviation caused by the master has been carefully corrected. On this final day of the European tour, former Eddie & Hot Rods member Lou Lewis played blues harp on three songs, “Jimmy Jazz”, “White Man In Hammersmith Palaice”, and “Train In Vain”. Although there were other performances with him, this day was the best in terms of sound quality and performance, and you can hear a wonderful collaboration! The set list includes “Somebody Got Murdered” and “Armagideon Time” from “SANDINISTA!”, which will be released about seven months later. You can enjoy the superb performance from “London Calling”, where Joe finds the audience fighting and adds ad-lib lyrics, to the encore, which features a string of early numbers!
