The Clash at Bonds casino. I waited in line for tickets and grabbed 6 for me and friends first night. We drive into the city early grab food (2nd ave deli) and hear on radio that we have to come back later in the week due to tickets being oversold. Clash added shows so everyone who bought a ticket saw a show. So we see that Palladium has a show and we go and scalp for half price to U2. You could tell they had stage presence played I will follow twice. Saw them next in Hawaii in 85 Joshua tree tour. Both great shows.
And Clash at Bonds was great. But Asbury park in 82 with original drummer just after release of combat rock they all seemed at top of their game.
Your signed book is epic if you could show clash auto's

It may be helpful if you can be a bit more specific.

Do you mean passes like the ones they stick on their jeans?

Set Lists?

Picks?

Signed tickets?

or ticket stubs?

You can find a lot of legit ticket stubs on ebay. It is just finding ones that are good and show the bands. Laminated passes from the 80's and 90's are all over the place. I would suspect that they are still being remade. I don't have many picks any more and sold off my drumsticks. I had some decent picks - Ted Nugent, Link Wray from his last show in the U.S. which was his only show that year in the U.S. and some decent drumsticks - Mick Fleetwood, Ted from the Dead Kennedys, Roger Earl from Foghat, Dave Roberts from Big Audio Dynamite, Don Brewer from Grand Funk, Simon Kirke from Bad Company. I got all of them by asking the musicians directly. Picks are pretty easy as many guitar players have them in their pockets. Sticks are more challenging. I got most at sound checks though a few left a pair for me at the their hotel desk. The second time I met Ted Nugent was at an auditorium across the street from the courthouse where I was working. I got him walking in. He stopped to chat and said 'hold out your hand' and dropped about 20-25 signature Damn Yankees picks into it. Drumsticks can also be challenging if they have very specific sticks for the tour and they cannot get them while on the road. Less likely to give one up.

I've been going to shows since the late 80s, did the arena rock thing then I wound up seeing Tony Bennett at the Mercury Lounge in 1994. That was great. Avoid big venues for the last 25 years. Right as The Strokes hit, I started going solo to shows and caught the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jonathan Fire*eater, TV on the Radio. All the while missing out on LCD Soundsystem. I finally saw them at Webster Hall in 2010 (?) and was completely blown away by their sound. Probably the best sounding band I've ever seen live.

LCD Soundsystem is great. Have you heard/seen Shut Up And Play The Hits/The Long Goodbye? One of the best live albums I've seen/heard.

We were lucky to catch one of the Terminal 5 shows before MSG. Seen them a bunch at Brooklyn Steel. What a fantastic venue. But they sound fantastic.

We have Shut Up and Play the Hits on Prime. My 4 year old is really into it, believe it or not.
