-The Clash:1979 White Riot((Fillmore S.Francisco 08.02.1979), ULTRARARE! USA 1979 original & genuine issue full concert poster, what can I say about, give a look to' http://homepage.mac.com/blackmarketclash/Bands/Clash/recordings/1979/79-02-08 Filmore SF/79-02-08 Filmore SF.html'; this is the story:'Hearing of this The Clash arranged, against manager Caroline Coon’s advice to play a benefit for them the next night. The venue was The Geary Temple , an old synagogue next to the Fillmore. Sylvie Simmons in Sounds (link) wrote tickets were half the price of the Berkeley gig, with no seats in a “moth eaten synagogue, next door to Jim Jones People’s Temple, tacky but majestic, a great venue”. “We’re in church”, shouts Joe from the stage! Epic were unhappy; this was not part of the official tour, so it was billed as “White Riot in the Fillmore with the best band ever direct from England”. An accurate description as The Clash were “electrifying” (Simmons), a storming gig from the second the band ran onto a disintegrating stage” (Johnny Green) and the best of the tour yet (The Clash). Joe was inspired, climbing from the stage into an opera box, waving and twitching manically.' ABSOLUTELY FAB!!!-
