I was lucky enough to see The Clash 3 times in my life.Once on Give Em Enough Rope,once for London Calling & one very famous night at Bonds NY.They wound up playing almost 3 weeks straight at the former department store(where I had previously seen The Plasmatics & also The Stray Cats when only the Runaway Boys single was the only release).Anyhow,they played 2 nights,then the NYC fire dept shut the club down for over selling & over crowding.They literally kicked every one out of the club that night & cancelled the next nights show.All of the officials got their shit together & 2 nights later,they regrouped & started back up.We had no tix but HAD to go.Being the entepreneurs that we were back in those days,we traded plastic bags of leaves(I'm sure you know what I mean)for 2 tix & stood right in front of the PA by Jonesy.A memorable night,for sure!!
