Seeing them on thursday 29th of may 1980 was the best day of my life. Magical and spiritual experience.

The things Joe Strummer taught me as a performer, I still take to heart. The way he just gives all his energy on stage, and so clearly and strongly believes in what he and his band's doing there. It's inspiring.

I think he brought his natural self to his stage performance and gave all his energy to everything he did. When I’ve heard the radio shows he DJ’ed, his passion and intensity are the same. I learned of Earnest Ranglin and Johnny Clegg from albums Joe played. Even his doodles and sketches have the energy. A beautiful soul.

I sure do wish there was more footage of Topper. Phenomenal drummer.

FUCK! There's just never enough Paul Simonon footage for me.

What a great film this is! This must be one of Toppers last gigs with the Clash. One of the best drummers and certainly much underrated. RIP Joe.

I was there, but it wasn’t on 2nd January, later than the 2nd. Because I remember I went to the gig after school. I couldn’t focus on classes after the gig for a while. I was a kind of state of shell-shock after seeing this performance.

You know a concert is gonna be outstanding when they start off with some Ennio Morricone before playing a single song.

I saw them at the Rainbow, Islington 1978,,changed my life as well,, i was 14. Still love them now. R.I.P Joe Strummer : )

I was fortunate to be a teenager in the 1980s UK , with UK bands : THE CLASH, THE SMITHS, THE JAM, i wouldn't swap it for any other decade, " Joe Strummer R.I.P "

Really wish I lived back in these days to see all these great bands!!

You know that there was a lot there who didn't even know 1 word of English, and to me, you cant get more of a hardcore fan like that. I would've loved to attend it back then, those were my type of people there.

To me it's the equivalent of the perfect summary of their entire career, as 1982 was their true swan song with "Combat Rock", but they played with the same energy they had in 1977 (and the Japanese crowds always love great heavy tunes - I would refer you to The Ventures version of "Wipe Out" from 1966 in Japan). If you ever want to introduce someone who has been raised by wolves to The Clash, you must start with this concert.

Saw The Clash twice on the "Know your Rights" tour 82, Newcastle UK, outstanding, met the guys for the after show party. As the line goes ... You know what they say, some of it where true".. They really where the Last Gang In Town. And after all that can't you give us a Smile.

July 1982 Newcastle City Hall 2 nights running, got backstage both nights also. Got all their autographs, was Terry Chimes rather than Topper. Had a few words with Mick Jones but was a starstruck teenager. Great memories. 👍

How insane does Radio Clash sound. Day out of surgery and im poppin my stitches.

The first full concert of The Clash with 1 Million views. 💙💙

This is one of the best recordings of a Clash concert I've heard. 27:50 Mick Jones playing drums? What the hell lol

They absolutely killed it, I remember reading somewhere Joe was asthmatic and had a cold this duration of the tour. Could barely tell because Joe was just as passionate as ever. Hard to believe that at this point the band weren't particularly getting along the best here, but they still can put on a hell of a punk show. Even though I wasn't there, I'm so thankful for these guys.

This show is just incredible... the overture with "La resa dei conti" by the Maestro Ennio Morricone and "London Calling"! What a combo! It's like a KO punch. Then the atmosphere of "Charlie don't surf" and "Armagideon Times" with those beautiful lights... the groove of "This is Radio Clash"... "Police on my back! Wow! This explains why The Clash are "the only band that matters"! I'm a Blues fan and I really think that The Clash are the best rock'n'roll band ever. They had great music, cool style and an important message too. Sorry my english is bad (hey I'm italian) but I hope you understand what I mean :p

Nope, the sound IS really good & they're tighter than a guppy's butthole. I also saw the Clash live in 1982 in Christchurch, New Zealand & they were utterly blistering. I was about a metre from the stage in the hellacious mosh pit, which was just a seething squash of human flesh. Sadly there was a contingent of fascist punks, boot boys & skinheads in attendance who kept screaming for "White Riot" and gobbing at poor old Strummer. I'll never forget how after enduring 2 songs of this behaviour, Strummer killed the 3rd song dead barely a bar in and launched into an apoplectic rant at these bozos. I only picked up a few choice words like "F*cking", "wankers", "don't wanna catch", "hepatitis" and "quit it or we're quitting". Thankfully the moron brigade obeyed, and yes, the Clash did eventually play "White Riot", which I thought was pretty magnanimous of them. After the gig, I wondered why my back was so cold as I exited the town hall, only to discover the back of my tee-shirt had been completely torn off by the guy behind me who'd been hanging onto it all through the gig. Now THAT'S rock 'n' roll, kids! Lol

Topper Rocks, you can see how he's really enjoying it too. "A band is only as good as their drummer"- Joe Strummer.

my x-wife and i were cleaning out her grandparents attic in 2008 and we found london calling and give em enough rope on vinyl. they must've sat there for 20 years and were in great shape. i still have them, though the poisonous female has gone, thank god or someone. id been into the clash already but owned nothing of theirs til then. this brings back the very moment in opened the box. also in the box was a ramones record [pleasant dreams] and a few country records and 78's. still have it all! love you all and cheers!

Wow this sound quality so GOOD! They were really becoming a perfect band in the 80's.

You know its gonna be a good performance when Safe European Home lasts 5 minutes

Its cool seeing the Clash and Pearl onstage having fun together like this.

Love them since i was a child i am51 now!

The world need more The Clashs...........ahehaehaheah.............

I wish they lasted longer, this is the way you do anything. All or nothing,. Still fire in 82 as bright as 77! when it flickered they put it out!!

22:21 I saw them in Detroit during this tour. Long story, but I ended up on stage during Clampdown. There were so many of us up there that it wasn't until later that I learned my next door neighbor was among them. A top five musical moment fore sure.
