Rob in the US 505--
I was at the three Clash shows on Pier 84. This wasn't a three day festival. Dr. Pepper sponsored a summer long series of shows on the pier (West side of midtown Manhattan on the Hudson River)for several years back then. Seating was general admission so we always got to the shows by noon so as to be upfront. If I recall correctly the gates opened at 6PM. A shame that there aren't any soundboards from the Clash shows; they were fantastic those nights. The crowds' arses never touched their seats!
