I saw The Clash in 1982 in Hong Kong, and the pure power the band generated that night was like nothing I have witnessed before or since. I have seen all the 'mega' bands from REM, U2, Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers and nothing comes close to what I saw in 82.

They did HK in Jan 82 as a warm up gig for touring Japan. It was The AC Hall, and I have my ticket stub and pics to prove it. These are featured on several Clash web-sites
