THE CLASH - SAFE EUROPEAN HOME

'FOOTAGE FROM THE US FESTIVAL IN 1983"

THIS was the most IMPORTANT BAND OF THE DAY !!! This event was hyped up to be the MOST IMPORTANT AMERICAN GIG OF ALL TIME. But its easy to fall under that type of spell. At the time I fell for it. Looking back it was still pretty good. I mean, Van Halen actually parachuted down to land on the stage and kicked off a set.

Kids hitched across the country and some took the bus just to get there. i really felt at the time that I was missing out on some monumental event. And I was.

I mean.. look at these guys.... its still incredible And I like the intro.
