With the recent torrenting of 7 March, 1980, New York and 8 March, 1980 Passaic, I thought I'd offer up this final night of the 16 Tons US mini tour. San Francisco (2 March), Los Angeles (3 March), Philadelphia (6 March), and Boston (9 March) were the other nights. The sound quality isn't quite as good on those other recordings, but we can get to them in time.

This was a quick tour add-on to raise money for Jackie Wilson's medical expenses. Apparently The Nuge showed up looking' for trouble!

The source for this torrent is a DYI boot CDR which showed up on eBay and other places in 1999. It seems to be more a labor of love than a proto commercial venture, and they did a good job in sourcing what sounds to be a very low gen, if not master, tape source.


***************************** WANTED !!! *********************************

I'm always requesting that anyone in possession of nice quality masters or low gens that are lowly circulated or are circulated in bad high gen copies to please torrent them, or to contact me for a trade after which I will torrent them.

There are however a few tapes I have which are of hideous quality, but which sound like they are so far from the masters that upgrades might be nice.

These in particular meet that criteria, and are somewhat significant, so I'm putting out specific requests:


28 June, 1978 - Friars, Ayelsbury

First night of the On Parole with a very rare (only?) All the Young Punks. Probably also the first ever Safe European Home.


4 August, 1979 - Ruisrock Festival, Turku Finland

One of the few one-off gigs during the London Calling recording period. Features the only known to me performance of Four Horseman.


26 December, 1979 - Acklam Hall, London

Secret gig to warm up for the Kampuchea concert the next night. Great performance and includes The Clash playing Keys to Your Heart.


5 January, 1980 - Friars, Ayelsbury

First night of the UK Sixteen Tons tour. Has a rare Death or Glory.


18 January, 1980 - Caird Hall, Dundee
20 January, 1980 - Odeon, Edinburgh
29 January, 1980 - St. George's Hall, Bradford
31 January, 1980 - Leeds University

These tapes seem like low gens might be treats.


6 February, 1980 - Top Rank, Birmingham
15 February, 1980 - Electric Ballroom, London (alternate source?)

Each also feature Keys to Your Heart.
