Tropic of No Return

This recording has a decent sound at times distracted by some noise, serious big hall echo, loads of crowd noise and mic problems.

At subtler moments it is one of the better/best 1988/89 recordings as it has great clarity and sharp sound for an audience recording. London calling is cut at 1.20.

This particular copy came with 4 tracks added on the end from Mick playiing at NYC Palladium 28 Sep 91.

While on tour working with the Buzzcocks in 1989 we went to the Santa Monica Civic show (Buzzcocks played their a few days after) of Joe's. One of the guy's working with us, Paul O'Reily (aka Suspect) had worked with Joe before. I remember coming to to Civic in a limo with the Buzzcocks and getting booed by Joe's fans.

The show was pretty good but I wasn't that impressed by the band and the venue has pretty bad sound and everyone got their pics with Joe. Sadly it was Paul O'Reily's camera and he killed himself a year later so I never got my copy. After the gig we all went to Johnny Depps Viper Room. I remember talking to a very drunk Joe and at the end of the night he fell on the pavement outside and I had to pik him up.
