Maybe some useable photos of early BAD here: https://books.google.ca/books?id=gluUZX ... sQ6AEIPjAF
Enjoyable interview, cheers for that.
This passage—
"I still think it's important. The political thing is difficult, but these things have to be said I think the problem was the way we said them. Now we' re taking a different approach. We don't want to be bludgeoning people with our stern, preaching message. We've taken our soapbox and kind of tidied it up and made it look like a pink Cadillac. We try to make it a bit more glamorous, have a bit more to do with life.

"We wanted a celebration, When we went in and made the record, we were really enjoying ourselves. And when we get onstage, we enjoy ourselves. That's what I drum into the lads all the time. You've got to be enjoying yourself, because if you' re not there's no point to it whatsoever. What we' re serious about is our sense of humor. Any other way, you've immediately got tactical problems. How are you going to say it and have people wanting to listen? Not even that we want to get them listening immediately. If we get them dancing … and then maybe the message comes later and the message is a simple one: how are we going to live? That's the message of all music."
—has special resonance as a counter to what was going on with Clash II. He's the anti-Joe of the same period.

Mick thinks Sheffield was the first gig, and then they went to Glasgow, but then he’s not certain. Those were the first two BAD gigs, though, that much is certain.

Looks like the Sheffield Leadmill gig took place on 1st October 1984, this could well be the first BAD gig as it's earlier than the support slots with U2...

http://thealarm.com/gig-1011984-the-ala ... sheffield/
Would love to see a ticket or flyer for this gig but as it was supposedly a secret gig I doubt there were any. Plus a 7 and a 1 can look very similar. Be good to see the article/press as mentioned on The Alarm page as that might be dated.

I need some time to play all your other great posts, but thanks again Marky. Any chance of remastering the number of hours in a day?

I really appreciate your great work even if I'm not an enthusiast of the Clash after the Clash (personal opinion). So I wait in respectful silence and with great patience for a return of the material of the Clash 1976-1985. When will the time be...... anyway, always thanks :scared:

I saw the Cult there playing one of there first gigs as the Cult (formerly the Death cult).

Mark Almond used to work there hanging up coats.
