For a few years there (1977-80), the Clash were the most exciting band in the world, bar none. As Pete Townshend put it at the time, "I wouldn't pay to see the Who. I'd see the Clash instead." Sure, they didn't always play in tune, and they were often sloppy. But they played with an energy and commitment that couldn't be denied. Things began to fall apart in

It's up on Zomb torrents as well. I got bounced from Dime a few years ago because of ratio problems and haven't reupped. I started with Dime by downloading some Black Flag and Replacements in which apparently no one else was interested in 2008. That put my share ratio at around .22 (I try to keep mine at 2:1 or better on other trackers). Live and learn.

From thewho.com... "he Hull tapes were revisited and it was discovered that because the first reel consisting of four tracks had no bass,everyone had assumed that the whole show had no bass and didn’t listen to any more of it,but in fact the rest of the gig was complete.

In addition to the Supper Club shows, I'd also be interested in a more varied multidisc anthology that spans all 22 years of The Never Ending Tour.
