...a new tape has surfaced, complete set of the Clash show at Crawley leisure centre where Alan Vega got a punch in the face etc.. Skinheads rioted etc.......
it also includes part of the soundcheck including a complete version of "all night long" the Chuck Berry/T Bone Walker tune (i think) and the Jimmy Pursy rant at the end at the skins..... a very good recording.......fairly standard set list for the tour but really interesting for all the reasons stated.
Johnny Green says he trapped Micks fingers here and that after a trip to the hospital they all headed for the next venue which was Southampton. A Riot of Our Own p96. This must be the Crawley date as it is a full days ride from Dunfermaline.
A Riot of Our Own p96. .. after the gig we started towards Three Bridges Rail station, we'd heard we could get a train back to London from there.
After ten minutes walk we encountered a group of punks walking back towards Crawley; a large group of skinheads had collected at Three Bridges station waiting for *us*. We walked back with them and hung around near the gig - after awhile the sounds of trouble and sure enough the skins had gotten tired of waiting and were now back in Crawley causing problems. My mate and I managed to get to the venue where the crew were loading out. We expalined what was happening and asked them for a lift back to London [with Johnney Green & Co]; we were dropped off on Streatham High Rd and walked home to Balham." Steve
Confirm story re skinheads (from Croydon). Me and my friends ran across railway sidings at 3 Bridges to escape. The Specials were then known as the Coventry Specials. This is the gig where the skin jumped on stage and lamped Alan Vega from Suicide. Colin
