@@ocielgarcia105 wow! I asked that question a decade ago and then an answer comes flying in. Cool. I can't say I'm too pleased with that story because The clash wanted to seem as if they were Robin Hood robbing the rich and giving to the poor that was their chance. Sounds like some strong arm tactics to me. And they wanted to seem as multicultural as possible by helping out some brown kids. I wonder what they would think of Britain now In 2024

This is great footage. Wow. This is near the end for the band. Man, Joe is in great voice, and really feeling the passion. Mick's guitar sounds great, and Paul is laying down the back beat steady as always. Don't know who drummer is, but he's doing ok. Only band that matters - The CLASH!
Actually, that was Powerhouse Pete Howard on the drums. Terry Chimes left by this time. Also of note, this was Mick Jones' last performance with The Clash.
@therealsoulproduc All true. Last gig of original The Clash, San Bernardino, 1983. What a misserable end of the band; Mick and Joe haven't spoken at all more than a half year, Topper was fired more then a year ago. This only money driven gig is paid by then allmighty IT geeks whom eventualy will help multinational companies to conquer the whole World - totaly opposite what The Clash were - maybe is the best cynic epitaph to the band who once was greatest in their struggle to change consciousness of entire generations..

Well this was poigniant seeing as I have been stuck in cambodia for too many years. I expect next door they should get it. But even post the nightmare khmer seem to prefer ignorance ( which they aint - arogant yes) to reality. I play this a lot.
Ja meisjes en jongens , de tour door de vs - was er te veel aan , duidelijk had Joe tinnitus , en was zijn rechter pols met ontstekingen gepaard, je ziet duidelijk dat de fut er niet meer in zat , topper werd vervangen door drug problemen door de voormalige drummer , zij waren op , en een zootje van hun eigen roem geworden, kijk goed naar paul en Mick - de fut was er uit ( te verstaan hoor)

One of the very best bands of my youth. A band that had substance and meaning. One of my favorite Clash tunes too. RIP JS
....One of the best Song's.."straight to heaven.. ✌...or hell"...Smiley. 😂...
The Clash...Punk.. "the First they was.." 🕊 🕯 ☮ 🕯 🕊 🕊
omg . they were amazing. it's hard for me to watch them . it gets me choked up
yes, i would play the CD of combat rock over, and over, and over. oh the 90s, thanks to my uncle for turning me on to them
2024 and I love it
I’m 27 and obviously I never got to see them play live but this video is played at least twice a month 🎉
Off the cuff...No aids...Thats what rock and roll is about...Raw as foook....Pure class
At one time, the greatest band in the world ❤ 640 am
I got 640am in 4mins.
Apart from all else, possibly one of the most passionate drummers ever, ever.
I assume you mean Topper...they'd sadly let him go by this time, he's not here.
Damn I miss them.
Joe .....R.I.P. 20 years
Holy crap. Hadn't seen this. They were so incredible
Play this song "loud & strong...." ✌ 🕊
Keep rocking in paradise Joe you left us too soon 🤘🏻
I was there..They do not show the stage drama that preceded the show, as the Clash came late from negotiating Barrio issues in LA.
gràcies, quina sort!
negotiating barrio issues? how do you mean?

I think that's Terry Chimes on drums - The way I understand it, Topper Headon was struggling with drugs at the time and touring wasn't helping him.
Actually, that was Powerhouse Pete Howard on the drums. Terry Chimes left by this time. Also of note, this was Mick Jones' last performance with The Clash.

I wonder how few people in that audience outside of San Bernardino had any clue that this song is critical of the United States.
epic human

Never forget how sad I were when I read that Joe had died of a heart attack, I couldnt believe it
Where’s the party aaaaattttt

Sehr gut komme aus Deutschland mien name ist yvonne 😊
you can play on fiddle
How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King's English in quotation

Water froze
In the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise
There ain't no need for ya
There ain't no need for ya
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
Wanna join in a chorus of the Amerasian blues
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City
Kiddie say, papa papa papa papa papa-san, take me home
See me, got photo, photo, photograph of you
And mama, mama, mama-san
Of you and mama mama mama-san
Let me tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo, kid
It ain't Coca-Cola, it's rice
Straight to hell, boy
Go straight to hell, boy
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boy
Oh, papa-san, please take me home
Oh papa-san, everybody, they wanna go home
So mama-san says
"You wanna play mind-crazed banjo
On the druggy-drag ragtime USA?
In Parkland International, hah, Junkiedom USA
Where Procaine proves the purest rock man groove and rat poison"

The immigrants, they wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere, most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
No man's land
There ain't no asylum here
King Solomon, he never lived 'round here
Straight to hell, boy
Go straight to hell, boy
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
Oh, papa-san, please take me home
Oh papa-san, everybody, they wanna go home now
Either Paul's bass is out of tune or he plays it wrong. Lol
Its definitely out of tune considering how many times I've played this song on bass
Good lord paul tune your bass I always questioned his quality of playing.
as did the clash themselves a lot of ""classic" clash bass lines arent even him, magnificent 7 for example
Nowadays we have taylor swift
why is joe holding his ear?
His earpiece, so he can hear the rest of the band better.
He didn't have an earpiece, the feedback from the speakers was intense
Sounds rough, like they were out of practice playing it
You'd be surprised how difficult it is to play a song like that, LIVE
One of the worst voices in a concert I've ever heard, aside from this, I love the clash
It suck
