    I was at a The Clash concert in Genoa, Italy, my hometown, climbing over a wall to enter without a ticket, chased by police dogs. It was 1984, I was 19, now I'm 56 and I will never be able to forget those years, that music. It was all wonderful.

    • @hansschjlberg172

      Paul brought a bridge between reggae and punk into the music in the way he developed his playing over the years. Yes, he was new to it when he started, but he was very capable to play those musical bass lines Mick taught him without any problems. Shows that he had the musicality in him. Later he developed a very unique style which is important to TBTQ and he does it perfect with the Gorillaz too, since Damon Albarn has based the Gorillaz music on the Clash-dubpunk receipe

    I never saw them as a punk band.
    They were an education in savvy songwriting influenced by all pop, music hall, skiffle, blues, ska, reggae, rockabilly, and what-have-you.
    They were tight when playing live and became more precise with every tour.
    They were also a history lesson. I learned about the Spanish Civil War, Montgomery Clift, English sociology-political themes, the futility of consumerism, etc. from them.
    I feel lucky to have felt their energy in person three times.
    Thank you Joe, Mick, Paul, and Topper-my Fab Four!

      At the time ( almost like an exam question ) we debated whether they had come to destroy rock and roll or to save it. Not sure I would credit them with raising my social awareness or merely reflecting contemporary contemporary concerns . Anyone aware of history would be acutely aware of the Spanish Civil War .

      Pete was good friends with all the punk guys coming up at that time. He used to go drinking with them and he was one of the few people in the "old guard" of rock that all the punk bands respected because he was doing a lot of "punk" style antics even back in the early to mid '60's. You can look into the history of the song "Who are You" for more information on that - the whole song was him getting wasted at a bar with the sex pistols.

    I was 13 growing up in Birmingham, AL when London Calling was released. An older kid in the neighborhood was my conduit to the Clash, first with their debut and then London Calling. I was a huge Clash fan before I could even drive. Unfortunately it also meant I was too young to see them live so this is a real treat to be able to watch years later. I hoped to catch Joe & the Mescaleros at some point but it was not to be (RIP Joe).
    I've been listening to Chuck D's Stay Free podcast on Spotify (highly recommended) and revisiting my obsession with all things Clash and realize that in my lifetime, there's probably never been a cooler band and will not be.

    In 1982 drove 600 miles from Knoxville to Kent State to see the only band that matters for the third time. It was winter and it was cold as hell. Me and my cousin Dan decided to go visit the memorial ( 4 dead in Ohio). It was winter, cold, snowing lightly....while we were standing there taking it in, Joe and Paul walked up. It was very surreal....we simply said hello to one another and stood in silence. As we walked away Joe and Paul were still standing there. Later that night while performing Somebody Got Murdered Mick had tears running down his face...I know that these events were not connected...I assume so anyway...but they shall always will be connected in my heart and soul. Rest in gentle peace Joe.

      I have been lost in the supermarket since. I attended the last "Clash" show in Toronto. It was a valiant attempt on Strummer's behalf but weren't no Clash show.

  • @mcdaniels6188
    @mcdaniels6188 8 ปีที่แล้ว +124

    the Clash were at this point truly at their zenith. London Calling had just been released, and if you were savvy to what that meant at the time you couldn't help but to be slightly blown away. Later Sandinista would leave a bunch of us shaking our heads, but that's another story. At this stage in their existence they were the most important band in the world.

    • @Elcastafior
      @Elcastafior 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Absolutely true. They reached their peak at this moment. I saw them on stage, just before and just after the release of "London Calling". In terms of charisma, intensity, I barely see any other band who could compete. The Who, maybe...

    • @odeleon24
      @odeleon24 7 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      I guess you didn't know what was going on in the world at the time. The biggest super power in the world was raining death on a small Latin American country. And the Clash dedicated their album to that country. Sacrificed their art/fame/work. I guess that deserves shaking heads. Hmm. Know your facts!

    • @mcdaniels6188
      @mcdaniels6188 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Wow, some people just can't resist going on the attack. Truth is, at the time when the album came out I knew who the Sandinistas were. My comments had to do with the MUSIC of the album, nothing to do with why they were named. Go back and read my post if you don't agree. Hmm, know your facts!

    • @mcdaniels6188
      @mcdaniels6188 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      and by the way, Sandinista is not a country, but the group, under the leadership of Daniel Ortega, eventually seized power of the country, Nicaragua. There, do I pass your test now?

    • @mcdaniels6188
      @mcdaniels6188 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Vero De Leon Need to add one more thing here, as your senseless attack got under my skin. Congrats on that. After thinking about what you wrote, then I started thinking about this album. When it was released I bought it. Don't know if I'd heard a single song from it. Didn't need to, whatever they released my friends and I quickly purchased. Now, since you are such an expert, I assume you've heard all the Clash albums up to this point (1981). In that context, six sides of Sandinista, at that point, is the most diverse album I've heard put out by anyone. Most of us had never heard dub, for instance. Or we'd never heard piano featured so prominently on a Clash album, or here's something that oddly sounds a bit like disco, or here's something which has......hmmmm, space invader sounds, or here's something Motown influenced, or here's kids singing Career Opportunities. It was a cornucopia of sounds and genres. In other words this was a radical departure from what we'd known as the Clash. The album was not immediate, seemed uneven for our tastes (at the time). THAT is why we were left scratching our heads. It wasn't hard to pick up the political references on the record (Ivan Meets GI Joe, for instance), but the whole album wasn't about struggles in Central America, now was it?
      The reason I bothered writing this is in hopes you reconsider jumping someone before you really understand what they wrote.

    This video is awesome. I saw the Santa Monica show on this tour, with the Dead Kennedys opening. Seeing Jello get his clothes torn off and shoved back on stage was only the beginning of the highlights of the evening. I can't overstate the molten fury of their attack once The Clash hit the stage. I was a jughead 14-year old, and it was only my second live rock show, so I thought all gigs were like this. R.I.P. Joe.

    I'm ashamed it took the 40th anniversary of London Calling to remind me just how amazing The Clash not only were, but still are. I've always known they were special, it took me this long to realize just how much. No band has matched their raw abilities & unpretentiousness. I love this video, I love that it's grainy & out of focus half the time, wish Topper would've gotten more of a look in, but his silhouette is just as intriguing. I also had no idea Mick Gallagher of the Blockheads was so involved with them - or maybe I did back when I'd spend hours reading album copy, but just forgot! I'm jealous of those of you who said you were there!

    • @burnleyvest5807
      @burnleyvest5807 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      M.G. is indeed Mickey Gallagher. Mikey Dread is a Jamaican producer/musician (and "toaster", sort of reggae rapper) who opened up for The Clash on this tour, joined them for the encore, and co-wrote "Bankrobber" and a few tunes on Sandinista!.

    • @AJCzarkowski
      @AJCzarkowski 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Interesting, I didn't know Mikey Dread co-wrote Bankrobber and some other Sandinista songs. I do remember him on the Bankrobber music video though. Mickey Gallagher seemed to have toured quite a bit with the Clash himself.

    • @burnleyvest5807
      @burnleyvest5807 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, MG was almost a fifth member of the band for a year or two, but he basically disappeared after "Sandinista!". Then Topper disappeared. Then Mick. Sad!

    • @AJCzarkowski
      @AJCzarkowski 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Burnley Vest Huh, so he was there for a while. They could pull it off without Mickey Gallagher, but when Topper left the band's days were numbered in my opinion. When Mick left that was pretty much it. Only two original members after 1982 I think! How sad.
