Listen to the Entire 1983 Concert From the Clash in Wichita Falls
When you think of a punk rock concert, a lot of places come to mind. Wichita Falls, Tx probably isn't at the top of that list. That didn't stop one of the most legendary punk rock bands of all time from coming to town though.
It was actually on this day, May 19th, in 1983 that Memorial Auditorium heard London calling and The Clash played right here in Wichita Falls. Amazingly, the show was also recorded by someone and the audio is pretty good quality. You can actually listen to the entire show the band played that night in 1983.
The band played for about an hour and a half and the set included their hits like 'Rock The Casbah,' 'Should I Stay or Should I Go,' and 'London Calling' as well as some interesting cover songs. Here's the full set list for the show:
