I remember standing in the stalls watching rows of seats hit the ground, love the clash . met the band afterwards , Topper in his fur coat... My Hero .....
I was in the stalls and not well. It all kicked off and these two Ned's in suits in front of me turned round and said " it's a bit quiet , isn't it ?' I had no reply and then they systematically destroyed about six rows down the left hand side as you look at the band. I was mostly sweating and trying not to throw up.
Arguably the greatest four piece rock band ever. I saw them several times at the Glasgow Apollo and the Odeon in Edinburgh. The first time I saw them in Glasgow was when they were being supported by Mikey Dread. Can’t remember what year that was though.
On this tour shown on the video they were supported by The Specials AKA (before they became just The Specials) and Suicide - a synthesizer duo from New York, who were fucking brilliant (though just about everyone else hated them and booed them constantly)
Rock and Roll, Its a bit like sex appeal' - you either have it or you dont. Those first thunderous riffs after Joe proclaims 'this song made possible by Freddie Laker...' are pure sex appeal. What a riff, what a tune, what a band. Most bands in their whole career would never be able to summon such verve, energy and joy to be alive.
Glasgow. The Clash played quite a bit in 77 and 78 - they played Glasgow in October and December 77, and in summer 78, when this footage was shot, and The Clash were arrested.
aye fact being some of the fans out the stage door complained at the band for just standing by whilst watching them get pummeled by the psychotic bouncers and in anger Joe Strummer smashed a bottle on the ground and got nicked by the police straight after, and then Paul protested at the police and was nicked then too.
@revol148 What actually happened was Mick got pissed at the camera guy and yelled that. So after the Clash left, they quickly got a shot of Ray running on stage.
It's really believably true and a HUGE understatement of the Clash hugely berating those thug bouncers for beating on the crowd and some of them backstage. I went to see a Clash tribute band called London Calling at the 100 Club and they really captured the same spirit of the real band here just like this, when a fight broke out and they refused to play until those troublemakers were out. If both them and The Clash aren't A band, then I don't know what is.
It's a scripted film Jon. The musics real, but the events with the bouncers are part of the film and the bouncers are actors. 'Rude Boy' is the name of the film, look it up.
@MorskiAkvarijum you could be right - I had a feeling his anger was directed towards his lacky who dared to sort out the twisted guitar lead.The best bit of this video is that bit when Topper smashes his drums for all he's worth!
Yeah if it was The Specials I'd have definitely remembered. Convinced it was 1977 now. White Riot was played as the encore. I'm going to look into it and see if I can find out who the support band was. If I'd have kept all my ticket stubs instead of selling them it may have had it on it, although they usually just said 'plus support'.
Which Apollo is this? Manchester Apollo is still my fave venue. Buzzcocks playing there on May 25th. Can't fucking wait. Saw The Clash at Manc. Apollo in either 77 or 78. Maybe you can help me with the year. I was only 13/14 and shat it when they did White Riot as an encore and a riot did indeed break out!
Stephen Elliott . I was there too, same age as you. There was a riot on the balcony with fire extinguishers going off. It was terrifying but exhilarating at the same time. John N.
I was there and it was the bouncers being twats. In the 70's the Bouncers were often violent twats at all concerts but especially Punk concerts. and we often hit back.

They used to open with this song in America. Legends.
Great gig. Saw the Clash at the Glasgow Apollo every time they played i was 15 in 1977 it was magic at that age totally BRILLIANT. BARNEY GLASGOW 🤪

YEAH poor SUICIDE ,,,alan vega got punched,,bottled, slashed in the face,,,FUKKIN hell!!!!!!!
Give us back Our 20years Old
Finally, Ive been looking for a clip when Mick says "GET OFF THE FUCKING STAGE", I fucking love Mick
PBANDSNOW I do mate,he's a top fella in person also
I was trying to find that clip to 😂
It’s from the “Rude Boy” movie which is fairly easy to obtain on D.V.D.

La mejor combinación de música y letra con marcha que ha habi 6:38 do
4:24 - Simmer down, control your temper!
Launch into White Riot...
And they paid for the damage but not all the fines
The best ever band simonon the best ever he knows how to move a guitar.
He didn't even know how to play when they first formed but he quickly learned to be rlly good at the bass!
The only band that mattered... Many times I seen them, this gig was legend
from an age when music mattered....
Was there. Brilliant and Dunfermline.
Plus the Coventry Specials and Suicide what a night
minute 3:45!!!! It was amazing! !! I love Paul Simonon!
I love Paul Simon to ha ha
no, he's the bassist, I know
Mick Jones and Joe Strummer are my guitar heroes
"Cool it...simmer down"....then play White Riot............ :)
Cheers. Can't even remember who supported them. I reckon it was the 1977 tour. Great time to be a young teenager, though.
Minha favorita 🇧🇷

Thumbs up for the Apollo sound. Fucking epic.
It sounded much worse in audience
so many things happened in just 5 minutes
The best nights ever

@@MegaVector2011 the bouncer bit didn't really happen that night but had many times before.
That night we won.
The best !!!!!!

I wish I was. I was only 1 when this was filmed.
BIG UP!.

Richard Hell and the Voidoids 77 support
Yes, that’s correct, I believe it was July
THIS WAS 1978 !!!!!!!!!!

Stephen Elliot If all the seats were ripped up it was Manchester Apollo
Thought it was the Glasgow Apollo going by part one ?
Glasgow Apollo
Yeah, Glasgow show, I remember joes t shirt very clearly , and they had thousands of little clad badges Chucked snot the place
What was the fighting about?
I was there and it was the bouncers being twats. In the 70's the Bouncers were often violent twats at all concerts but especially Punk concerts. and we often hit back.
@@maverick4798 oh right, whenever I see a comment saying " I was there" I instantly get jealous lol, im 14 too young
“We’ve still got another fucking song to do yet” = Legend!
@revol148
and you know the reason, why he said that? right... maybe he said that to the camerman....
Joe just totally butchers the lyrics in this version! LOL!
Good to see man-of-the-people like Mick Jones who perform in down-to-earth-bands telling the "little people" to get off the stage!

Joe I always loved you but that intro to white riot was so mockney
You gotta love how Joe Strummer mess up the lyrics
What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.
Try remembering your own words
Strummer was drunk for sure.
“This song made possible by a fruity laker.”
hahaha oh yea Joe's so political he doesn't even know his own words!....I like the clash but olitics??/hahaha none at all just like these fools now
ILITICS??? WHAT 🤣😅🤣👌
@@simonedwards5564 P-olitics.......you cant even spell my actual mistake hahaha jesus man.....you really showed how clever you arn't!
