The first gig I saw they were great, the second was beset with technical problems and was awful.
The Clash, November '77, Cardiff University. The 'Big' 3 music papers i.e. Sounds, NME & Meldoy Maker were bigging them up to being one of the best live bands in the world. They were fecking shite! Couldn't play their instruments and none of 'em could sing a tune.
