I've received this show many years ago in a tape trade and the sound was poor on the highs and mainly flat on all the other frequencies. I've worked on it a bit trying to improve it on basses and looking to obtain a better sharpness and sound presence. The job went fine enough in my opinion then I've decided to share it, hoping you like it. Happy listening everybody.

Excellent recording from the late Clash period, unfortunately incomplete. But what's available is definetely worth a listen. They were indeed a different band from the one that first started in the mid-70's. Less wild but for sure more listenable. The audience seemed to appreciate the gig. Joe Strummer is very talkative and at one point even asked the support of the audience to have a few sentences translated into italian.

Some sources list this show as being recorded at the indoor Palasport, which is very unlikely since the recording sounds like being recorded outdoor, and Joe mentions about bookstores in the venue which makes me thinking that the show took place at the annual Festa de l'Unità in some open door ground, as it was the case for most of those festivals.

* missing from silver CD version
** sourced from silver CD version in alternate source version

Notes:
Here are two versions of this classic punk rock show. An incomplete version as on the silver bootleg CD, and a complete version from an improved quality alternate source. The alternate source is the entire show, with its one missing track filled in from the boot version. 

This is far from a perfect soundboard, but the performance is so fantastic that it doesn't take away from the enjoyment. I have just about every live Clash recording in collectors hands, and this show is in the top 5. Possibly the earliest performance of 'White Man In Hammersmith Palais".

Entry from Clash On Stage Live Tape Review Archive:

"This has some distortion, but it's such as great tape it is easily gotten past - and this is punk rock so just crank it up and don't give a damn! The performance is great, with high energy interpretations of just about all of the early set material. The grade above [b] is for the tape version, while most copies have the LP as a source. That seems to originate from a different recording, and has even more distortion, dropping it to a B-. The recently released CD was probably mastered from the bootleg vinyl, but I haven't heard that one. Both LP and CD cut out the first "1977", "White Man...", and "Police and Thieves", while the tape version loses "Career Opportunities" to a side switch. All things considered, this is the best 1977 show, especially in the tape version. "Pressure Drop" makes one of its occasional appearances, as it would do until the end, in the speeded up style. Other interesting bits are early performances of "The Prisoner" and "Clash City Rockers," and Joe getting pissed at the Damned (also on the bill) for lighting a stink bomb."

Notes
Donít be fooled by ëSBDí this is a fairly generated show with tape wear and hiss. Iíve fixed the drop outs by copying the good channel across using Soundforge and re-tracked using CDWave, nothing else has been altered other than a fade out on Garageland. This copy contains a short interview with who sounds like Kid Jensen from BBC Radio 1(or 2)

From BMC
Taken direct and raw from the soundboard the best circulating recording captures all the instrumentation very well and more importantly the intensity and attack of the performance. Its faults are mainly due to tape wear and it being at least one copy, but more probably several copies off the master. There is some hiss and numerous minor tape dropouts but its faults canít detract from it being a highly enjoyable sound. A number of other faults are from the original soundboard problems as the soundman wrestled with the legendary Clash volumes.

Their very first show in Italy. It's a very good audio version coming from a double vinyl printed to the time of the show. I've received it on tape many years ago and the sound is so clear that I think the generation cannot be too high. The band played the first 8 songs with one or maybe even two different drummers seen that their drummer Headon wasn't still arrived on the spot. From the 9th song ahead the band came back in its original line up, and with no offence for nobody the true show started from that song. Enjoy it!

notes by the taper
I received this in a tape trade many years ago. The original source is a double vinyl in shops to the time of that tour. This is the second of the two audience recordings rated on blackmarketclash website. The audio is quite decent. It's saturated in many volume peaks but is still in some way pleasant to listen. I've worked a little the sound applying mainly de-crackle, and 60 Hz hum removal filters for reduce distortions and clean up the sound as much as possible. Probably was the most awaited italian gig ever of the band which was attended by over 15,000 people. It was also the last date for that tour. Enjoy it! 

blackmarketclash notes: 
2nd complete audience recording 
A tape from a second source recording has the best sound of all, although this is maybe a matter of personal choice. It too is a copy or two off the master and so suffers from a drop in clarity and crispness. It’s winning characteristic is it has a more exciting dynamic sound which captures the brilliance of the performance the best. Mick’s excellent guitar playing is heard very well indeed, bass is quite good and vocals are clearer and less distant. On the negative side there is considerable distortion that gives a somewhat shrill sound at times. Chat near the taper may be a problem to some but actually adds to the atmosphere of an historic concert and is not detrimental enjoyment-wise. An upgrade to the master would be very welcome indeed as the master recording was clearly a very good one. Bankrobber is complete on this source but an edit on The Leader loses about 20 seconds. By adding The Leader from the first source to the second source you have the complete concert in the best sound. A very enjoyable bootleg with a sound that is good enough to really appreciate the excellence of  The Clash’s performance.

Nice sounding show from RLR collection. Browsing a bit I noted that the setlist was longer than this recording so I believe this is a kind of incomplete. The Velodromo Vigorelli was back in the 60's/70's/80's the venue for large crowds where artists such The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Toto, Santana had played before. It was basically a bike racetrack on open air which made the acoustic very nice and a quite "intimate" atmosphere. Unfortunately over the years the racetrack - made basically of wood, was quite deteriorated because of the weather. The very last show I saw at Vigorelli was somewhere 10 years ago, then it was shut down for renovation but I understand there are still issues about defining its exact usage (concerts? races? both?) so it is still closed.

The Clash were huge in Italy about that time but they were not as wild as in the 70's and the punk movement was starting to lose its driving force, and a few years later it was completely obscured by new wave and 80's disco.
