The Clash "London Calling" Tour Tee 1980

The London Calling tour of 1980 brought The Clash to North American audiences at the height of their creative power. Winterland produced the official merchandise for the US dates. The album's iconic Pennie Smith photograph — Paul Simonon smashing his bass at the Palladium — is one of the most reproduced images in rock history. American-market Clash tees from this era are rarer than UK equivalents because the band's US following was smaller. Single stitch Winterland tag is the authentication standard. Value: $600–$2,000.
