City of the Dead played largely on the Out of Control Tour 1977, Sort it Out Tour 1978, and in 1980 at Dundee and Edinburgh from where setlists/recordings exist but photos of those two show different clothing.
The flag's background is from the Sort it Out Tour late 78 and some photos have Joe wearing white and Mick wearing black.
Photos from there rule out some dates, eg Manchester and the best guess has to be the London dates over the New Year.
Lots of new clips there today of the Slits, much longer than the Clash clips too.
Interesting Ari/Tessa switch at the beginning.
Yeah that confused me - in fact I thought it wasn't actually the Slits at first. It's certainly not the early 1980s Slits.
Never known of Ari playing bass before.

Not seen any old footage of Ari playing bass. But... when I saw them live in 2009, Ari took over bass duties while Holly sang and Tessa played keyboards.

By all accounts, she knew a lot of instruments, apparently. Very musical person.
