What are you listening to, right now................

Have just found a recording of the complete Auckland gig. I thought that there was only one show and that's also what various websites tell me but I have also found a poster that mentions an extra show the next day.
There are a couple of moments that I remember strongly. In particular when Strummer stopped because some fucktard bootboy gobbed and hit him. Challenged the guy to come on stage and retrive the spit.
Must listen through now to confirm which gig I was at as that setlist doesn't quite seem right either. I recall the crowd getting bored when they played the Sandinista stuff and chanted 'old stuff' at them.EDIT: found it in the recording. The quality is crap but can confirm I was at the Friday night show. I can't even confirm if the Saturday one happened. Strangely they played in Welly on the Sunday at the Town Hall

As more proof of how out of touch with reality David Cameron was he once famously named this as one of his favourite songs....a track about what prats Etonians like him were and how futile it was to take them on.
Also has one of the best ever opening lines. 'Supupyour beer and collect your fags, there's a row going on down near Slough'
You couldn't have this more wrong. Out of touch? Have you even seen what he said about it?

Yes. What he intially said. The “what part of it didn’t he get “ response from PW and then his later clarification.

Where are you reading this? The New Statesman or something?
Cameron is many things to many people but he isn't stupid, thick or without a complete sense of reality. 3 things you'd need to be to not understand that song.

Well he called it a protest song for a start. It’s not protesting anything.

I’m interested why.
Weller himself said he never wrote it thinking of it as political. It was social commentary of the type he commonly wrote in those days.
It certainly isn’t protesting about toffs. It’s commenting on the stupid futility of angry working class kids trying to take them on -
@crucial best way of answering that.
Do you think the composer of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot had the English rugby team in his mind when writing it?
Lyrics of Eton Rifles maybe a social commentary, but it wasn't one without a pretty serious finger point.

@majorrage the finger isn’t pointing in the direction you seem to think it is.
I assure you, my finger is currently pointing in the direction you think it is,
