There is a list here though i doubt its definitive and a few of them very obviously mistiltled. Interesting that JJ tops the list for most played, being an early track obviously helps but I'd have guessed GoB with LC close second.

That's great, thanks for the link!
'Dunstable's Burning' and 'Belfast's Burning' only got played once each, I wonder why?
Ha, yeah! And I'm pretty sure there is no song in the clash discography, live or studio, called Use Your Vote! I'd imagine a few omissions there but nonetheless, it is a list!
Its obviously a reference to an alternate version, along with IFTL, but would have to listen back to the show to see exactly what.
Actually i did listen back and they're just standard versions so no idea why that list puts them in like that. Thought it might be a segue thing or something like Mag 7/armagideon but its not. Just an anomaly i guess.
I remember a while back trying to track down a Pistols song they played live with Steve Jones.
Which song was that? I can probably help with anything Pistols-related.
As per my above post I thought it was a Pretty Vacant?
I think that would be from 2 of the 4 gigs they played at the Music Machine where they were joined by Steve Jones and Jimmy Pursey. 3 of the four gigs are listenable but the encore of Pretty Vacant does not exist.

'London Calling' - did they ever play Revolution Rock?
Marky's remaster of Mayfair Ballroom, Newcastle, 12th June 1980 has 'Revolution Rock' as the third song in the set, and the second of six in a row from 'London Calling' which was still a fairly new album and might be considered brave. That gig also has 'Hit The Road Jack/Police & Thieves', which I've always thought an unusual pairing, although they did the same with 'Blitzkreig Bop/Police & Thieves' which I think can be found on the 'Interviews' promo for 'On Broadway', but I don't think I have a copy to verify that.
Yup, 'Revolution Rock' was played a few times mid 1980, also got an airing at Bristol June 1980.

Wasn’t it played at the Lyceum in October 1981?
Pretty certain it wasn't, they played 7 shows so it's not impossible although they were focussing on playing Sandinista! tracks, Radio Clash + Futura funk with advance Combat Rock songs plus the punk period classics.

It was played on the 25 October show at least.
You are correct. Played on 22 & 25 during that Lyceum run. The song has 10 live airings according to setlist, the first in December 79, Acklam Hall, London.
