Yes I totally dug the C/S show as well, and the club was only about 2/3 full so getting up front and getting a great view of the band was a cinch. Mick was as great as ever, certainly wth thinner hair on top but dapper in a suit and pulling off his patented guitar moves -- that marching swagger swinging his guitar from side to side. And his singing was fine - that reedy voice still cutting thru the racket, his new songs were catchy and rocking, and his attitude was gregarious and fun and witty. Just a class act. Plus he threw us old Clash-heads a bone by sticking some refrains from "Police on my Back" into his encore tune -- the very fine "Why Do Men Fight", off the C/S album. It made all the old punks start moshing, which is a concurrently frightening and inspiring thing to witness. It was definitely good to see Mick back in action. Hopefully we'll get to see him again.
But not with Matt Pond PA, please. 'Fraid I did not like them much. Thank goodness for the Backbar.
