THE CLASH
The Clash live at the Royal College of Art on 5 November 1976 (© John Ingham). The show ended when Joe Strummer dropped his guitar, leapt off the stage and attacked the long-haired students who had been pelting them with beer mugs. They were rolling around in front of me while the Stooges’ I Wanna Be Your Dog sucked in all the air -- a synaesthesia of violent confrontation. (archived PDF)

Jordi Valls - Punk Tapes book - link to full text here
During 1976 and 1977 Jordi Valls recorded live on nine audio cassettes some of the early punk gigs in London. These tapes, featuring The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, Subway Sect, Billy Idol & Generation X, The Slits and Buzzcocks, capture the true sound of punk - raw, countercultural and subversive - as a phenomenon that had a radical impact on popular music and fashion, first in Britain and America, and then worldwide. Arguably the most interesting aspect of punk is its vital, visceral energy, and the demonstration that the only thing that really matters is the intention, the power of the imagination, and nothing more. This book is a witness of this movement. With substantial graphic material such as photographs, newspapers, cuttings, gig tickets, make up this big and valuable archive on a movement so intense as self-destructive.

The Royal College of Art is best known as a centre of British art [Hockney, Kitaj, Conran] but on November 5, 1976 it hosted A Night Of Treason, starring The Clash.
Punk was going overground and the place was full of punks, the interested and students. The stage door policy was loose and backstage was as crowded as out front. The dressing rooms and corridors were seething with talent. Siouxsie Sioux was gathering her tribe to follow up the Punk Festival appearance. Billy Idol and Tony James were about to leave Chelsea (one time on stage) and start a band called Generation X. Adrian Thrills was starting a fanzine. Mark P was working on the next issue of Sniffin’ Glue.
If Punk was an attitude then Subway Sect was as Punk as it got. They didn’t look or sound like anything else on a stage [before or since]. Their complete lack of showmanship and off-centre music really made you feel you were seeing something new. Then The Jam came on, all two-tone shoes and Shepherds Bush riffs. Somehow the sharp suits and Rickenbackers were at odds with the homemade fashions and Fenders of the Pistols and the Clash and backstage they sat apart from the other bands.
The Clash were incendiary. The sound was big and loud and they climbed all over their brace of songs like kids on a building site, crashing guitars and a rabble-rousing Joe. Then a student threw a beer glass. [Depressingly, it was always students who threw glasses and bottles.] Joe threw his arms above his head and shouted ‘Under heavy manners!’ He sought out the perpetrator, who got on stage. Joe questioned him and the guy looked sheepish. Then Sid Vicious got on stage, muttering into the mic and looking well-named. A few minutes later and they got back to the wonderful racket.
People used to say their life changed the first time they saw The Clash. This was the night when that scenario began.
an original Ticket from the gig
John Ingham, Mick Jones and Joe Strummer at The Royal College Of Art, London, 1976. "That was the first time The Clash had a big stage, and they went crazy. There was a saying at the time, 'If you see The Clash, it will change your life.' And that was true of that night ñ they were spectacular. If they ran fast enough they would defy gravity; if they played fast enough they would be in another dimension."
Is this picture the RCA?? see below
The Clash, Royal College of Art, Nov. 5, 1976 Jon Ingham
"On the bill it was the Clash, Subway Sect and the Jam, and it was called the Night of Treason because it was on the fifth of November, Guy Fawkes night.
"The audience was very much a mix of the original punk fans, about 100 to 150 people, then there was a large group who had just come to see what the fuss was all about, and then there was a large group of the Art College students. For the Clash, that was the biggest stage they had been on at that point and they just grabbed it, they just stamped their authority all over the place that night. I've heard people say, 'I saw the Clash that night and they changed my life.'
"Somewhere in the middle of the set this beer glass came flying to the stage and smashed across it. Joe Strummer wanted none of that so he just stopped it and said, 'Who threw that?' Some guy put up his hand, so Strummer singled him out and said, 'If you got something to say, come up here and say it.' So this guy got up on stage and they started having this conversation, it was very odd. Weirdly, these university students, who were supposed to be the smart ones, were actually the dumb ones in this whole movement, they were the ones throwing beer glasses and acting like idiots."

I see you list the Royal College Of Art show on 5 November 1976 as featuring The Jam, The Subway Sect and The Clash.
My recollection is that four groups performed - two punk and two non-punk, and to a very divided audience. First up was one of the non-punk groups, whose name I don't remember, Second was The Subway Sect, then The Rockets and finally The Clash.
