Inme at the Highbury Garage were pretty decent.
But Oasis in the Astoria back in May really blew me away.

That must have been some night at Sussex University. I was too young to see the Clash until the early 80's but when I did at the Brighton Centre in 1982 they completely blew me away. I've never seen a better live performance than that. U2 at the Top Rank in the same year came close but coulcn't quite reach the heights the Clash did that night.Gwylan said:The Clash at Sussex Uni in 1977 - supported by Buzzcocks, Slits and Subway Sect. Liverpool won the European Cup that night and we watched the game in the Uni bar. Gatecrashed the post-gig party and spent some time chatting to Mick Jones and Joey Ramone (RIP), Great night.
There were a number of Can gigs that were great in the mid-70s but the one at Croydon Greyhound in 1977 was fantastic - they were on fire that night.
Other great nights were Gang of Four at Leeds Uni in 1980 and Bob Marley at the Brighton Centre in 1981.
Kraftwerk at Brixton Academy last year was pretty good too.

Gwylan said:I was there - that was a great gig. The Saints were greatly underrated. A very hot and sweaty night.

Others have said that the Alex Harvey Band, the Animals and her Who were excellent.
