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!

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

It was around this time that Rolling Stone was giving an interview to The Who's lead guitarist Peter Townsend who said that if The Who was playing in the same town, at the same night as The Clash...he's go to see The Clash.

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.

The Clash still Rule! Mikey Dread added a whole dimension to their music with his dub. Loving it all 40 years later. I saw their Combat Rock Tour in Redrocks, Colorado, and met them backstage. I was about 32 yrs old.

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.

My mom and dad had Sandinista on their records collection and my mind blown away when I heard it. I felt in love right away! I born just 2 days after the release of their first album, so I was a baby at this time. Regardless of that many years later I bought all the albuns, posters and t-shirt that I could! Even more years latter I went seeing Joe and the Mescaleros here in Portugal. Bust show of my love. And I still cry when I remember that! Joe will live Forever in my heart!

I was here for this. It was great. The ruled and still do.

Of all the shows that were ever played at this venue, this is the one I wish I was born earlier to have seen. Long live The Clash!

The Clash were one of the most exciting band's live.

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!

Fights at the front of the crowd all night, it's on the Rude Boy film. At the end of the gig got outside and had water cannon turned on us, crazy night.

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.

A really valuable document of a classic rock'n'roll band at the top of their game ! Absolutely incredible !!!!

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.

joe and mick singing complete control together is a cure for my depression right now lol

Wow, 1980. I was a senior in HS. Had not even heard of The Clash yet but did soon enough and they were one of my favorites for many years. They sound great and full of life at this concert.

Magic! The fact that this is on t'internet is amazing, I saw them in the early 80's in the UK and had a cherished cassette tape of this concert.this is the Clash at their finest

This concert took place a few blocks away from where I lived but I didn't have a ticket because I was 12 yrs old Thanks for posting

Many tks for the upload!

Aren't we fortunate beyond words to live in a time when this can be preserved for future human beings (as long as they continue to exist) . . .

A great live band at their best. All kinds of styles. Pure energy. Tight as a gnats chuff!

The Clash city rockers forever!!

no ramones?

Incredible band and show. Saw them in Brixton, and the Hollywood Palladium, and the shows are still drilled into my brain

As good as they were in the studio (and they hella were), Joe, Mick and co. were a killer unit live!

I was 8 going on 9 when this tour took place; so I was too young to go to their gig when it was near me (woulda been whichever DC or Baltimore venue that woulda booked them) -- wish I'd been at least 5yrs. older.

For me. one of the best punk group of all history. Many thanks for this video, really

I was lucky enough to see The Clash live twice - they were without doubt the best live band ever - their shows were just electric !!

Great show! Thank you!!!

Jimmy Jazz was especially fine on this one! They kicked into a higher gear right there. So much good playing! I love it. So much energy. They just keep coming.
