There is a live recording from the Winterhuder Fauhrhaus in Hamburg. However only one track has surfaced so far.

A fan has been in touch and says he may be able to get a copy from a Sex Pistols collector who owns it. In the meantime he has one track which we have received.

The Show in Hamburg 6th Oct.1977 was at the Winterhuder Fährhaus.The Show starts with Londons Burning and ends with Janie Jones plus an encore of Garageland if I remember correctly.It was one of the first UK Punk gigs in Hamburg. I've got some photos from this Show. Peter, Hamburg

... then I spotted this on instagram We'd love to hear from anyone who canlocate this lost tape. email blackmarketclash

From Swiss No Fun fanzine (full interview) with Joe

part of the interview

"NF:
I mean this was the first bigger Punk Concert here, since Punk exist in Switzerland. The thing with the brawl was maybe because some magazines spread a completely wrong picture from the London scene here. Punks only are eager for fights and at each concert there is a brawl and injureds and stuff like this. Well those, who never have been to London, cannot see what kind of shit they are served. Do you really have been on Tour in Germany with Bravo ? [ M.G. Youth magazine ]

JS:
I really didn't know whats going on. There were only 10 to 15 aged Bay City Roller Fans in the hall. There were guys at the show, we never have heard about them before - we were convulsed with laugher. They played playback only making their futzing moves - and the kids were already screaming. We did play some titles live - we were completely misplaced and fucked off. It was similar in this TV-Show...

NF:
... at "Musikladen" ?

JS:
Yes, we had to play playback. But we have never made that before and we will never do it. We are musicians not comedians. Then they let us waiting in a room for 2 hours, it was not to abide. Ok, we smashed a lamp and some cans were lieing around. Afterwards it was said we smashed the studio. But beside that we had a lot of fun in Germany. The people are shocked so fast. You only have to scribble a fylfot and the people go mad. Once I dressed me like a Ted and went to a Ted-Concert. There were about 400 guys hanging around. All bored and seesawing singing "Be- bop-a-lulas" and "Sho-waddy-waddys". That made me so sick, that I went dressed like I was, to the Roxy. You should have seen the Punks like they starred at me. It was going quit fast around that a Ted is in the Roxys. The otherway round you can't imagine that a Punk is going to a Ted-local. As it looked like that some guys wanted to kick me out, I asked very politely "What's the matter? I'm a Clash-One!"
