Jamaica World Music Festival, Montego Bay, Jamaica, 11-27-1982, Part 5: The Clash

The fifth act on the third day of the 1982 Jamaica World Music Festival was the Clash. There's just one more act after this one. 

It's somewhat risky for me to be posting this, because I posted this exact performance some months previously, only to have it banned due to a copyright violation. That really baffled me, because I believe everything on it is unreleased, and it can be found in many other bootleg sharing locations on the Internet without any apparent trouble.

Luckily, a musical associate who wants to stay unnamed is helping out. This person has a website where they've put the link for this. So you can go there and grab it. Hopefully that will put enough distance so this blog won't have trouble. It would be a real bummer posting everything else from this festival but this one set. So we'll see how it goes. Knock on wood. 

Like all the other albums I'm posting from this festival, I've adjusted the mix to bring up the lead vocals relative to the instruments, and I boosted the crowd noise after each song, which had been way too low.

By 1982, the Clash had gotten so big that they usually played large venues, even playing giant stadiums as an opening act for the Who. That resulted in poor sound quality in most cases, even on official recordings. So that makes this recording even more remarkable. Personally, I prefer this to their official live albums.

This album is an hour and one minute long.

I'm happy to say this cover photo is from this exact concert. The only one I could find was black and white. But I used the free Palette program to colorize them. I only made one little adjustment in Photoshop, to get the bandana in the back pocket completely red.
