The Clash - Pearl Harbor '79 Tour




Joe Strummer - Topper Headon
Paul Simonon - Mick Jones - excerpt "A riot of Our Own Anight & Day with The Clash"

The Clash's Pearl Harbor '79 tour marked the legendary punk rock band's first major North American outing, featuring blues pioneer Bo Diddley as the opening act. The high-intensity trek faced early friction with CBS Records over its provocative moniker, but ultimately inspired material for their seminal double album London Calling - Ultimate Classic Rock

The Clash begin their first North American tour, The Pearl Harbour Tour in Vancouver, Canada. They drive to California, through the mid-west and onto New York where they play The Palldium before returning to Canada and play the final date in Toronto. 


The Clash did not have a London Calling Tour, but instead released their masterwork double album London Calling in December 1979 right in the middle of their live touring cycles.
