Description: The Clash play White Riot at the Kinema Dunfermline on July 6, 1978. "The Kinema gig ended prematurely in a well-documented brawl when the stage was invaded. The episode was caught on camera and a clip appears in the film 'Rude Boy' (available on DVD - though the band disowned it) while the band tries to play 'White Riot'. Some footage was also broadcast on Scottish Television (STV) the next day. It seems tensions ran high throughout the gig as Clash fans and Sham 69 fans sorted out their differences! It came to a head with a near riotous stage invasion and so the band fled and the Dunfermline Police took control."
