@dcco76 The original plan was 8 shows but the concert promoters oversold the tickets, which led to the first gig being canceled by the fire department for violating the maximum occupancy of the venue. So, being the principled, fan-dedicated band they are, The Clash decided to extend it to 17 performances (including a couple matinees) and honor every ticket that was purchased. We just don't see great bands like this anymore nowadays...

These Bonds shows were some of their best live work! They were just killing it night after night!

@dcco76 I thought it was 17 gigs in 15 days (see blackmarketclash site).

[dcco76]

8 consecutive days of shows. This proves how dedicated to their fans they were!

Fantastic live cut...love Topper's intro.

[LuizaBelmont]

Nice Cover!

Probably the best live version of Police and Thieves ever!
