I've listened to all types of music the past 35 years , but turning the clock back an watching this from rude boy from 77 , shame we have to move on an grow old . STRUMMER 🎼❤
I was luckily enough to see them live 3 times in London, my all time favourite band. Also at the the forefront of Rock against Racism set up after Eric Clapton's racist comments .
It's brilliant to re-live this powerfully raw Clash performance at the legendary Barbarella's in Birmingham. I was there 3 or 4 nights a week with my mates we were there that night - have just found out there's a shot of me with Ray Gange (Rude Boy!) @ 5.40. Got to say - Chuffed!
One of the greatest rock´n´roll singers ever. Too bad he went too young. Had too much waiting for him. Who would have known what would become of the Clash when they started?
Looked and sounded like a drama school drop out pretending to be an oink. Subsequently confirmed when it was revealed he was a public school boy son of a diplomat.
@@humbertoflores2545 the punk/new wave era coincided with ‘the troubles’ in Northern Ireland. Belfast in particular would regularly get bombed, so most non-Irish bands wouldn’t play there BITD 😫
I was always under the impression was that the RAF referred to in the song was a reference to the Royal Air Force, since the song in question is about England and not Europe as a whole.
No was in borstal at the time but had a good friend who introduced me to punk but then he'd died of overdrive and I remember how all us young 16 yr olds thought how'd that happen to peaches from Camden I think
in this very moment the whole Europe held their breath. The prime minister of Italy was missing, held prisoner and being tortured. (And later murdered.) And Joe chosed to brandish the kidnappers' logo t-shirt.
I was wondering whether an English native speaker could be very kind to write down the lyrics from 2'52 to 3'18 and then from 3'48 to 4'40? I understand only some words, so frustrating. I am a big fan of Joe and The Clash ! Thank you ! Marie
The only thing i can make out is, i think, "sacred pledge", "you have done wrong, whatever you said, well dont you try to argue, dont argue with me, I am your commanding officer"
Hmm, yeah, it's challenging. Taking a stab at it . . . First set: Sign the [unintelligible] Take the pledge You have done wrong Whatever you said Now don't you try to argue Argue with me I am your commanding officer Reduce you [?] [Unintelligible] [Unintelligible] Ah yeah Second set: [Unintelligible] Unless your leader was a gun And a man to wield [?] a gun Did you pull the trigger like you can wangle your fingers Take [?] a trigger you know and [unintelligible] Cold, cold steel Cold, cold, cold steel [Variations on 'cold, cold steel']
Gas to think everyone in this video would be around 58 - time fucking flies Also, does anybody know who the person is that the camera keeps focusing on in the crowd- I have seen him in a few separate Clash videos
Who is that geezer with the Bob Marley T-shirt on, he seems to take up a lot of footage, maybe it was part of a film I don't know.. As the man says we didn't have internet then, so a shirt with Brigades Rosso looked cool even if we didn't know all the politics behind the story
B0rnles13 this clip is taken from the film Rude Boy. The movie was the story of the guy you refer to who got a job as a roadie with the Clash bit then was kicked off for being a lazy shite... lots of footage of the Clash performing. I remember buying the video in NYC in 1982....
here's he's also missing one th-cam.com/video/-Gp6lYQrqSE/w-d-xo.html&frags=pl%2Cwn but not here th-cam.com/video/J_DPKWGH9yc/w-d-xo.html&frags=pl%2Cwn in between he went to the dentist )
James that's right didn't one of them get hepatitis from this disgusting trend of spitting towards the band. Maybe it wasn't someone from the Clash but I definitely remember reading that someone got hepatitis this way. I also read in an interview with John Lydon, I think, and he mentioned that when they played gigs the band avoided the front of the stage because it was so covered in spit and snot that it became like an ice rink it was so slippery. What I don't understand at all is why kids back then would think that spitting on the band they'd payed to see and hear live was an acceptable thing to do. How did this disgusting craze start and why did it go on for so long. If I was in a band and the first three rows of the audience were clearing their noses and throats and gobbing it on to the stage. I'd pick up the mic and say "Sorry we won't be playing anymore and there won't be any refunds. Why don't you take it up with the first three rows" what a fucking disgusting trend. Reminds me of some low grade festival I went to with the likes of Doctor and the Medics and Zodiac Mindwarp, playing. I think it was headed by the Fun Loving Criminals, it was definitely during the set played by the Fun Loving Criminals that people were pissing in cider bottles and launching them at the stage. I remember seeing a young woman squatting on the ground, initially I thought she was having a piss but she was actually shitting in an empty see through toiletries bag. When she'd finished she stood up and launched it onto the stage. It landed right in front of Huey and burst open at the zip. It was at this point that the band stopped playing and Huey told the crowd they hadn't come to have bottles of piss and bags of shit thrown at them. They stormed off the stage. The rest of the festival continued in much the same way. The crowd had come to get wild on drink and drugs and not really to hear these third rate bands play. They began to enjoy chucking bottles of piss and plastic shopping bags of shit at the bands. I was so grossed out I never went to that festival again. I think it was Burning Man in south west Scotland.
Joe Strummer got hepatitis ,which he said he caught from `gob` but later related he caught it from a dodgy needle when he `tried heroin`,no doubt ` suffering for his art`.
electricleg Thanks, I was pretty sure it was a member of the Clash that got hepatitis from someone spitting in his mouth. As for contracting it from a shot of heroin, I have to say I feel very sorry for the man. I know a guy who got hep c from an infected blood transfusion. He died about 14 years ago. They tried him on various treatments that's didn't work. His liver had become decompensated by the time they realised he had it. He was extremely ill,towards the end. It's not a death I'd wish on anyone. However I've heard that new drugs like ribavirin in use with other drugs have a 98% rate of success when it comes to treatment today.
Certainly a nasty a nasty thing to get ,common among drug users,very sad that you bloke you knew got it from a transfusion.I think Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) died from it.
Ich auch nicht aber Joe Strummer ist dabei, daher muss ich den sehen :D der selbe typ ist auch bei 'nem anderen Konzert der Band dabei. Beim Rock against Racism event. Da trägt Joe auch sein RAF-Shirt
I love the Clash and Joe Strummer, but Joe was a communist through and through; he didn't wear the shirt by accident. I don't share his politics, but I'm happy to hear him sing and talk about his since he's intelligent and sincere about it.
Joe wasn't a communist, he was a socialist! All you have to do is listen to his lyrics to see that. Coming out with such an ignorant comment as this just isn't helpful to genuine Clash fans!
I love the Clash too but I agree, if he was still alive he'd probably sing for the migrants and hate Trump, Putin and Salvini. Without being aware of it he was part of the System, he was the propaganda of Liberals who ruined and destroyed Western countries. There's no secret, you can't be successful in the entertainment business if you don't serve the agenda of the System. I was watching right before a video of RATM, another libtards band... Rock is propaganda, not rebellion.
I was in the audience. It was nice to see myself on film at 17. I subsequently saw them another three times. Every time I thought they were shit fakers. Years latter my suspicions were confirmed when Strummer, was revealed as a public school boy, son of a diplomat. Who's amdram oink performance was very unconvincing. Insulting even. The stranglers, and even Billy Idol, didn't have that AstroTurf feel.
I really like the Clash but how is this an amazing performance... Sounds rubbish... He's probably on summat like, but I'd say its a poor live version this

Ahh...That's me in the crowd @ 0.43secs. What a gig!
I WAS IN POLAND BUT IN BRIDGE .. ROOLO
Amazing song. Amazing band. Amazing performance.
who is that in your avatar
I.was.a.punk.and.proud.still.am😊
I've listened to all types of music the past 35 years , but turning the clock back an watching this from rude boy from 77 , shame we have to move on an grow old . STRUMMER 🎼❤
The best live band of all time. No doubt about it
The moment when joe says 'oh yeah, and smiles you can just tell he fucking loves being up there!! Absolute hero, dearly missed! Rest easy rude boy
I was luckily enough to see them live 3 times in London, my all time favourite band. Also at the the forefront of Rock against Racism set up after Eric Clapton's racist comments .
Totally agree! I was lucky enough to see them live 11 times in London and still my favourite band too.
It's brilliant to re-live this powerfully raw Clash performance at the legendary Barbarella's in Birmingham. I was there 3 or 4 nights a week with my mates we were there that night - have just found out there's a shot of me with Ray Gange (Rude Boy!) @ 5.40. Got to say - Chuffed!
My own personal favourite live clash clip,I get goose bumps even now watching it,Joe is just in the zone.
Sounds fantastic I am 62 listen at 17 year old sounds fuckin great Evan know
See how much it matters to the band? Fucking brilliant
Joe was a good lookin man
I`ve always thought that he had the look of a 50s movie star.
my first punk crush
Yeah a toothless guy.. very handsome
NEED IT LOUDER!!!!!!!!
2021 and it is still top drawer
Used to love being in a crowd like that, it was so much fun and the energy was magic
That so Nice mixed of Rock and Reggae ... Only The Clash 😍🎸
Joe Strummer and The Clash are really missing 🎶👊😘
Thank you so much for posting this! I needed that :)
the amazing Clash!
Thanks for sharing, shared.
On Fathers Day. 2021. Reflecting...
Shared, again. Nice 1...2024.
muchas gracias
My dear Wayne!!!
Excellent video!
Gaby.
I bought a telecaster in 1979 because of Joe - just listen to it chugging away on this song!
Amazing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Reggae singer Junior Murvin was the original singer in 1976, The Clash covered it (fantastically!) a year later!
Allucinante ❤
the Clash Forever…🌹
immense.
Wow, thanks !
"La próxima generación sabrá de mi"..
Joe Strummer (Leyenda y caudillo del Punk Inglés)
Mepalero
Topper drums brilliant _ brilliant
Robert Smith in the public
Shared. Again!
Brilliant band, great live, this is from Rude Boy
One of the greatest rock´n´roll singers ever. Too bad he went too young. Had too much waiting for him. Who would have known what would become of the Clash when they started?
They were one of a breed. Joe was gurning 😎
Looked and sounded like a drama school drop out pretending to be an oink. Subsequently confirmed when it was revealed he was a public school boy son of a diplomat.
Miss Joe Strummer. I miss artists like that. That didn't give a f***. My favourite punk band The Clash.
you mean “give a fuck”, right?
redd I’m censoring
A melhor banda punk inglesa
❤
I was there
I’m so jealous!
So young.
I was there..
How was it? I would give 10 years of my life to be there!
tjrs fan pas pu les voir en concert dommage peu de concert de Clash dans les années 80
Durisimo
He's on something, god knows what.
Was at this ...Brum Barbarellas...its on Rude Boy film...can see me pogoing lm wearing black mohair jumper
Kevin Hyland amazing !! when ?
@@keiththestones7951 erm 1978 as stated in the description I think
When in the movie!
Hi Wayne, no, I have only this song . It comes from the movie "Rude Boy"
Imortal
.. I think if I remember correctly was in the charts at the same time as the original
The Clash didn't release it as a single.
R.I.P.
The only band to have the ball s to play in Belfast.
Stiff Little Fingers...?
Why? What balls had to do with that..??
The pin drop SLF are a Belfast band so it would be strange if they hadn't played there.
@@humbertoflores2545 the punk/new wave era coincided with ‘the troubles’ in Northern Ireland. Belfast in particular would regularly get bombed, so most non-Irish bands wouldn’t play there BITD 😫
This is from film Rude boy
💙
You're welcome :)
You're welcome
pourquoi j'aime le reggae
Strummer & the crew @ their finest there...
Produced by. Sir. Lee. Scratch. Perry♥️💛💚
Die hard Clash fan but can't decide if I like this version or the original better
The original was by Junior Murvin. Class regae.
You're joking surely? This version is diabolical.
Ray Grange moochin in the crowd, yu caahnt!
Reminds of Phil Keane rip mukka❤
I was always under the impression was that the RAF referred to in the song was a reference to the Royal Air Force, since the song in question is about England and not Europe as a whole.
RAF (Red Army Faction) in this case.
Perhaps, but bass was the looker, he could have been a model/actor etc: he had the looks! And the style!
Joe is so gorgeous....
Que hay mejor que esto...
You’d think they were a one man band watching this...
ray gange the main character in the film.
Brigade Rosse RAF shirt :p
Now listen to the original by
Junior Mervin!
It’s much better I’ve always thought. I can enjoy both
The rudeboy storyyyy ;-)
Any chance that you took some pics or recorded it ? :-)
No was in borstal at the time but had a good friend who introduced me to punk but then he'd died of overdrive and I remember how all us young 16 yr olds thought how'd that happen to peaches from Camden I think
@expatfreislander Well don't forget that many punks wore T-shirts with swastikas and it definitely didn't mean they were nazis
in this very moment the whole Europe held their breath. The prime minister of Italy was missing, held prisoner and being tortured. (And later murdered.) And Joe chosed to brandish the kidnappers' logo t-shirt.
oh.. that t.shirt
It’s spot on. Red Army Faction, Red Brigade.
Fuck yes, brilliant
so bad the film maker did not record Paul Simonon in this amazing performance
I was wondering whether an English native speaker could be very kind to write down the lyrics from 2'52 to 3'18 and then from 3'48 to 4'40? I understand only some words, so frustrating.
I am a big fan of Joe and The Clash !
Thank you !

The only thing i can make out is, i think, "sacred pledge", "you have done wrong, whatever you said, well dont you try to argue, dont argue with me, I am your commanding officer"
Hmm, yeah, it's challenging. Taking a stab at it . . .
First set:
Sign the [unintelligible]
Take the pledge
You have done wrong
Whatever you said
Now don't you try to argue
Argue with me
I am your commanding officer
Reduce you [?]
[Unintelligible]
[Unintelligible]
Ah yeah
Second set:
[Unintelligible]
Unless your leader was a gun
And a man to wield [?] a gun
Did you pull the trigger like you can wangle your fingers
Take [?] a trigger you know and [unintelligible]
Cold, cold steel
Cold, cold, cold steel
[Variations on 'cold, cold steel']
whos the guy in the Bob Marley Tshirt ?
Faster. The delay pedal's not used, I think.
Funny video. It's alwost like Strummer is trying to coax the Bob Marley T shirt guy into liking it.
At the end he has to grudgingly respect that wearing a Bob Marley T shirt is nothing next to being Joe Strummer from The Clash.
Really? That's the most badass reason for not having a tooth.
rien a voir avec junior murvin
Gas to think everyone in this video would be around 58 - time fucking flies
Also, does anybody know who the person is that the camera keeps focusing on in the crowd- I have seen him in a few separate Clash videos
Ray Gange, the character around whom the film _Rude Boy_ revolves.
Great version by a great band. Joe does seem like a fellow trying to deny his white middle class roots. Still one of my raves all these years on.
Twat!
Not really he just rejected it kinda, but he never lied about it
Who is that young man in the crowd? He is always focused on
@Críostóir Mac Dhubhdarach thanks very much!
A public schoolboy who later became a snowflake,a shit stirrer
Ray Gange
Who cares about their political preferences anyway, they're like the best fucking band ... ever.
it got knocked out by a mic
Who is that geezer with the Bob Marley T-shirt on, he seems to take up a lot of footage, maybe it was part of a film I don't know..

It's Ray Gange

Thanks all, I've seen the film a few times now. I think the geezers name is Ray.
Stay Free ok

So does infected saliva flying in your mouth when you're singing! So you couldn't really win back then.

... wer ist der Typ, der mehrmalig als Zuschauer gezeigt wird (mit Reggae-T-Shirt?)...
Klaus-Peter Woyke anscheinend ist das eine Szene aus dem Film 'Rude Boy' und der Typ ist die Hauptfigur darin.
Danke. Ich kenn den Film nicht.

jaja ke porkeria mal kantada, pero ke importa SI SON LOS CLASH KARAJO!! AGUANTE
Siente lamenté oir sus grabaciones en vivo, algunos temas sonaban mal a comparación de las grabaciones de los álbumes. :(
u.r.s.s the singer is comunist?
Mick Jones sounds weak, badly....that's very unusual
I love the Clash and Joe Strummer, but Joe was a communist through and through; he didn't wear the shirt by accident. I don't share his politics, but I'm happy to hear him sing and talk about his since he's intelligent and sincere about it.

His late brother david was in the NF
and he died at this time, if iam not mistaken.
Yep, Suicide , it deeply affected Joe

Did you have the colossal wanker routine perfected by 17? Or is that a lifetime achievement?
I really like the Clash but how is this an amazing performance... Sounds rubbish... He's probably on summat like, but I'd say its a poor live version this
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love this raw live version. Or are you referring to Junior Mervin's iriginal?
Terrible
