    Description

    This was the first Clash show in the USA. Clash Ticket Stub from Feb 7, 1979 in Berkeley with Bo Diddley, PIT seats.
    The
    Clash
    were about two and a half years into their career before they played a gig on U.S. soil. The band’s first American show wasn’t at a grimy punk club: They were already too popular in the States. Besides,
    Give ’Em Enough Rope
    had already shown the Clash was moving beyond the rudimentary constraints of punk.
    They played their first U.S. gig on Feb. 7, 1979 at the Berkeley Community Theatre in Berkeley, Calif. The 3,500-capacity venue on the campus of Berkeley High School had a rock pedigree, with past gigs by
    Bob Dylan
    , the
    Who
    and
    Jimi Hendrix
    .
