    This video means so much to me! I was ten years old and lived down the street from the Motor City Roller Rink when The Clash played there. I loved the band and desperately wanted to see them but was "too young." On the night of the show I snuck out of the house, went down to the rink, and listened to the muffled sound of the show from the outside. Now, 35 years later, I finally get a glimpse of what it looked like on the inside. This is beautiful!!

      Robert E. Livingood Me too! I lived 3 blocks away on Republic. I was only 7 but remember roller skating there that year for a school event. I had no idea I was so close to such an amazing show. Wish I were a little older and could have seen it!

      I saw that gig - I was 21. Saw them in Brixton too. At the Detroit gig the vegetarian Clash found a deep frozen wild- boar's head waiting backstage for their dinner.... welcome to Motor City...

    I was at this show. Amazing. One of the best shows I've been to. I worked in the live music business and played in bands and still this one holds up as one of the greatest. So glad you guys had a Super 8 camera cranking. I was about 20 feet behind you! So amazed you were able to hold a steady shot. I remember a slam dance circle of insanity in that vicinity! The 3 foot high stage and being in a Roller Rink even made it more special. No pretension. Just solid Clash.This was one of the great bands at a great moment in a great city. Let's make America great again like this.

    I wish I’d been there! I did get to see The Clash open up for The Who a couple of years later, I fell in love, but most of the crowd HATED them. It was one of the first times in my life that the music I was hearing on the stage matched the music in my head.

    This was the best of about 6 shows before they closed this place and tore it down. Souxie and the Banshees, Iggy, Ramones. Some great times in my past.

      I wasn’t even born in 1982 but goddamn the stories I’ve heard from the short time that was alive, I was truly born too late not that I still haven’t seen a lifetime of great music that I’m grateful for though

    "...I was there, too! You know what they say...Well some of it was true!"
    This is awesome. Can't believe someone was able to capture this in that hot, roiling, over-crowded basement of a venue...
    Love to know how they physically accomplished this. I recall being able to see almost nothing! Flat floor, low stage, crazy crowd...

    Although pretty poor sound and picture quality this is probably right up there amongst the very best live Clash footage ever recorded.
    It seems to just capture the vibe of the live shows and is from their very best era 1980 which I was lucky enough to witness.

    does anyone remember who opened for the clash august 16 1982 at the grand circus theater? It was a rapper named Curtis Blow but who was on the turn table? it was the first time id seen a guy playing the two turn tables "DJ" and a rapper.

    It BOGGLES my mind that we don't have an officially released live show on video for this band. Or even an official audio release of an entire live show with Topper. Do you have this entire show on camera?

    I was probably about eight feet to your right when you filmed this. I thank you so much for posting it. We were "the fans from Kansas, not the group" and had seen The Jam in Chicago three nights before. Were you there for that beautiful thing? And, did you follow The Clash to the bar after the show and trade beer and jokes with them? Gawd, it was wonderful.

    • @michaeltb6276

      The Jam and the Clash in the same week in 1980 when both bands were at the heights of their power? I'd say that was a damn fine week.
