Footage of The Clash in SF '79

Post by BR16ADE_R055E »

Last night I attended the Target Video show at the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley (http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/film/FN17017). There was a lot of great footage from the '70s & early '80s (Dead Kennedys, Flipper, Black Flag, X, The Nuns, Avengers, The Mutants, Bush Tetras, Siouxsie & The Banshees, etc.), most of which I had never seen before. Target was selling t-shirts (I bought one) in the lobby, and on the back of the t-shirt are logos of bands Target filmed, including The Clash.

I asked Target Video's Joe Rees when and where he filmed The Clash. He replied: a couple of shows, including Geary Temple in San Francisco '79 and at the Target studio on Van Ness. I asked him if the Geary Temple footage was ever released on video in the early '80s, and he said "yes," but I've never heard of that release. One would think it would've showed up on bootleg videos/DVDs, on YouTube, etc., and also Graham doesn't mention the existence of the footage on BMC. It must've been available for a very limited time in '84 when Target Video started releasing videos. Anyway, I told Joe that I hope that Target Video's footage of The Clash will be released on DVD.

Neato. How was it filmed? I'm hoping this is above Punk Rock Film quality.
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.

Why the :shifty:? There's no reason to doubt him. Target Video's stuff on DVD (through MVD) include: Dead Kennedys, Iggy Pop, Screamers, Devo (in Petaluma), Flipper, The Stranglers, Ramones (Winterland '78 & Civic Center '79) on It's Alive: 1974-1996, and TSOL (just saw it at Amoeba).

EDIT: I forgot The Cramps @ Napa State on DVD, too.

I didn't ask him that question, but judging by the footage I've seen on the DVDs mentioned above this post, I'm guessing that the quality is pretty good, if not great.

Gil, do you know if there was ever any traction on this? Obviously nothing has been released, but might be worth reaching out again. There website wasn't 'updated too long ago, but is still very old school.

The last time I saw Joe was in 2015. I recall him saying that he shot the footage while on the balcony, which was shaking a lot. The floor boards below were bouncing. As a result, the footage looks very shaky. He mentioned something about trying to fix the shaky footage. He and I are friends on FB. Maybe I should ask again.
