Thanks appleseed. I just downloaded the show from Dime. Here’s a mega link if anyone’s interested.
A few missing tracks apparently, but sound quality is very good to my ears.

Here’s the tracklist:
01. Sex Mad Roar
02. Police And Thieves
03. Should I Stay Or Should I Go
04. I'm So Bored With The USA
05. This Is Radio Clash

Good work fellas. Rather odd choice for set opener i would say, maybe the missing tracks were from the beginning.

This is the most complete setlist I can find for this date (on setlist.fm) from a brief search:

01. Sex Mad Roar
02. Police and Thieves
03. Should I Stay or Should I Go
04. I'm So Bored With the U.S.A.
05. This Is Radio Clash
06. Janie Jones
07. Police on My Back
08. Clampdown
09. I Fought the Law
10. White Riot
11. Tommy Gun
12. Safe European Home
13. We Are the Clash
14. The Guns of Brixton
15. Brand New Cadillac

Seems like at least the last 4 songs (12-15) are missing from the Dime upload. Someone commented on setlist.fm that they played London Calling too. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the opener. Just checked blackmarketclash.co.uk and it mentions another 7 songs or so that are unknown/missing from the beginning of the setlist. BMC also gives a downloadable pre-show KNAC FM 105.5 Long Beach CA radio interview with Joe that is 16+ minutes in length and a fun listen. Looks like this was the 3rd or 4th ever date for Clash II, and maybe the 2nd known recorded show.

Yeah, looking at the shows around it, with available setlists, SMR would appear to be generally between 5 and 7 on the list so i think it's safe to assume LC is one of the missing tracks.

Funny how the mind plays tricks, though. I was nearly certain SMR had been dropped after a couple of early outings but after checking, I see it was pretty much a staple for most of the year. I think that's likely down to thinking it's just not very good.

Any word on how this compares to the boot in circulation?

Just gave it a spin, sounds the same to my ears but always good to get fresh uploads.

If you crop that above the guitar he looks like an evangelist.

So what did McLaren have to do with this? Did he perform?

I read a review for the show (think it was on setlist.fm), and someone mentioned that he played "that stupid Buffalo Gals song", so apparently yes, he performed.

So that's the set where we wander off …

Yeah, in hindsight, it must be the same as what we already have. I didn’t have a copy handy on my hard drive to compare and the megalist link is dead so I couldn’t do a quick comparison by file size, but you’re right. Sorry for any confusion.

Young ladies, pill poppers, flip floppers, and tank toppers (ok, hip hoppers too, why not) can at least download it here if they don’t have it already.
