There is a video on the net, better than the YouTube versions of Athens 1985 (720x480 but compressed a bit).
The Clash are not on it though it runs 3 full hours. Around 19 minutes of the 3rd segment there is a snippet of Bernie Rhodes with Journalists. (As close as we have got so far to the holy grail!). There are however fantastic shots of the crowd, the event, the venue that give you the full sense of occasion. Just no Clash!

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Awesome! Keep up the fight!
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.

He's not interviewed. The camera just pans in his direction a for couple of seconds backstage.
