Live At Bonds is a live bootleg by The Clash.

This live bootleg was recorded live at Bonds Casino on June 4, 1981 in New York City.

The club was formerly Bonds department store which had been converted into a large second-floor hall. Promoters kept the name because there was a large Bonds sign on the outside of the building. The first show was cancelled by the New York Fire Department because it was oversold. The show was then rescheduled as a series of 17 shows in May and June. Ticketholders from the first show were given tickets to one of the replacement shows.

The Clash had not yet broken out into mass popularity. That fact, combined with strict interpretation of the fire laws, meant that audiences were relatively small and the concerts had a feeling of intimacy that future Clash shows in arenas could never recapture. Audience members clambered onto the stage to join in singalongs. New York musicians, including Pearl Harbor provided disc jockey services as the audience entered and gathered.

The concert captures the Clash on the cusp between being a cult band and their short-lived major market penetration. As always with the Clash, even in their arena days, ticket prices were set relatively low.
