I saw them supporting the Rockets...
just a note on your gig list i saw them at tiddingfoot leisure centre and keith levene was still a member they were supported by a r n b band called the rockets.
the promoter a guy called chris france had also promoted gigs by the jam, the dammed and eddie and the hot rods all in leighton buzzard he also managed john otway and wild willy barrett at this time.the clash were superb sounding a lot like the mc5 at this gig.
i'd actually gone along to see the rockets who i'd seen locally several times in the previous couple of years and followed around a bit, but the clash blew them off stage and they split soon after. cheers glyn

Tonight, the Clash in Leighton Buzzard at the Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre, which ñ in the words of journalist Kris Needs. It was one of those council hangars better suited to bingo and comedians. The Clash were actually the opening band for a local R&B outfit, The Rockets. (archived PDF)
