Loving the photos, Keith. Thanks for doing the interview too. I'm looking forward to checking out those books as well.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I've read the "Meeting Joe" one and it's a genuine heartfelt account without the usual Clash mythology bullshit. A Refreshing read of someone Keith obviously cared for.

That second picture is very cool and it's interesting how it captures a very young looking Keith and for the first time you can really notice how much older Joe looked. Great pic.

I've also bought and read Meeting Joe and dug it. It's got a good vibe and seemingly mature understanding of the inevitability of the events. I like the new What's My Name as well! Look forward to more of the book, Keith.

I wanted to share this with you_someone sent it to me. Not sure if it's been posted before_It's the first time I've heard the entire show (I've heard the What's My Name part before and that's what inspired me to record it for the first time recently!). Mad hearing myself tune up and play_

Share it up if you like_I believe things like this from back in the day should be shared and enjoyed if people want to hear it_ 1976 was a magical time_great time to be in West London!

So far there's 3 Clash live recordings with you in circulation.
-- this one
-- Aug. 31, 100 Club
-- Sept. 5, The Roundhouse (your last gig)


The 100 Club tape only came into circulation about 5-6 years ago and has pretty nice sound. If there's any of them you haven't heard before we'd be happy to upload.

M8 I'd appreciate it if you could post the 100 Club and Roundhouse shows_I only heard the screen on the green recently because someone sent the YT video to me!

Here you go, Keith. These are the full lossless audio files in FLAC format. Nearly all music players support FLAC, but let me know if you need MP3 files instead. Also uploaded the lossless Midnight Special recording in case you only have the lossy/YouTube version.

He's planning to publish the entire gig info archive from the site in book form over the next year and has been doing mass proofreading and site updates to get all the info accurate and complete.
