Love the fact that the Clash played at Sussex - great footage. I've heard Jimi Hendrix played here as well - I wonder who else?

I saw Fugazi here in 1995. Not quite so famous but still brilliant. Proper "straight edge" band (ex minor threat). I think they went on stage with their back-packs on. They are releasing live bootlegs but they don't have the Sussex one.

Carter USM played in 1991 apparently.

also, I came across the link below. I think there is a Sussex bootleg cassette - be careful 'home taping is killing music' an old slogan from the past :)

No surprise to see the legacy of the late Sir Joe Strummer being misused in such a way. Grrrr.

Manic Street Preachers played here in 1992; they also did Clash's "It's So Easy" on this gig!
