It’s like hip hop, punk, dub, disco, funk, hard rock and reggae all rolled into one.

2024 !!! Same Fight !!!

Holy shit this was 41 years ago

I can believe this was saved. This is a golden nugget of History

After countless viewings of the performance I just now noticed that Mick helps out with the percussion time to time, fantastic musicians all four of them!

Yeah the ' Syndrum/ Arcade sounds ' don't add much ....but it's one of their weakest singles , that was only in their Live set for a few months ..... ( i don't think Joe or Paul would regard themselves as 'fantastic musicians' ! )

The Clash Is the Only Only Band That Matters!!!!!!!

That's what snobby white music critics like to say, at any rate

Straight gear. No fucking re-mix. I'm with you - you'll never see this type of set on live TV again............

Not only the best, but the coolest band ever.

Love the drummers stage :) Damn I miss the Clash!

Clash took it to a new level. Introducing a bunch of new sounds not just punk!!!!! COMBAT ROCK ON!!

"This is Not Free Europe" lyrics says it all. Mates were ahead musically lyrically ahead of it's time. Those drums with a synth are so badass.. Imagine the intensity front stage..For the ages..

I love this clip. I saw it when it first aired way back in the day. Much respect goes to Tom Snyder for putting The Clash on his program. I can't think of many other tv shows that would have had them on at the time.

I’m sure Dinah Shore would have given them a gig during prime time 😂

I love when the Clash raps! Happy 71st birthday to John Graham Mellor, a.k.a. Joe Strummer!

This was fucking incredible!! I remember staying up to see this on a school night.

I can't believe this is the first time they played it live. It's like they've been doing it for years.

the same thing i thought when i bought the london calling; and every song in this album is a jewel

This was the first public performance of "Radio Clash."

raw power This is Radio Clash, can we get the world to listen...Everybody hold on tight.

Play it loud!!! Listen to Strummers voice....awesome!!

One word: WOW!

Topper. The human bêat box- The Clash was not as good without him.

Just reading the Clash biog at the moment - this is a great, in fact one of the best examples of this band in action.

So happy I had an older brother. Growing up in the 80's I could have been kidnapped by horrible dance music but my brother exposed me to the Clash, REM etc. Thank God!

Dance music is great I listen to tones of brit punk rock from the 70s and 80s and I still love dance music.

Great drumming

13 years too late but he also features on the Combat Rock track “Overpowered By Funk”

Though they had a really broad musical spectrum, every Clash song is so distinctive and unmistakably theirs... Still the only band that matters.

joe strummer, his voice, his mind, that was the clash. you can't get a better frontman than him.

We need this type of programing back on TV.

Love ths Track!!! This & Magnificent Seven are the Clash's 1st delve into the undeground Hip Hop scene that was big in NY at the time!!!

Wow! Saw them once. Strummer twice. This footage is incredible.

Amazing performance 👏

Damn these guys are awesome!!

My personal favourite Clash track, superb. Thanks for uploading and sharing

Me parecen unos genios con la música que hacen y realmente es que les gusta lo que hacen.

I love the angry look Joe shoots Mick at the 2:40 mark. They both had messed up on the song at that point haha. They were always imperfectly perfect :)

Beyond magnificent

Love how Joe fixes the kick mic at 2:45 👍

I like this song, this has alot of Hip Hop influence to it..

Sadly missed this the first time around as my local NBC (?) affiliate had preempted the Tom Snyder Show that night in order to show a Boston Red Sox baseball game (they were playing on the west coast, hence the late hour). I'm still made about it, haha ... but thank god forty years later we have KZread to archive stuff like this!

the same happened to me after listening to them.the clashes discography should be issued to everyone who turns into a teen lol

mick jones is a huge talent and paul simonon is hot. joe strummer RIP.

Awesome!

great song too....:D

Joe was 29 when this was filmed. A young man, but an old rock star. Too bad he's still not among us. Big loss.

Technically it was called the Tomorrow Show, not the Tom Snyder show.

danielscissorhands stayed up to watch this episode to see the Clash. This was during the Bond Casino concerts on Broadway, when the Clash made the news and sold out the venue, which over-sold the show. The fire department got involved and the Clash doubled their show to accommodate their fans!!!! I was there 2 times.

amazing. hard working, got it all going on

I wish there was a LOVE button!

Nice one! Keep it vinyl all the way!

How good is the drummer 🥁

Futura in the back goin to town. I see you baby!

The Clash is the best band

YES! You are right

trop bon, so good, 1981 was the year....

This was made for the Breakdancers in nyc

The Clash were good players that were seldom well recorded live

@JackWMS14 Speaking of vinyl: "Please Save Us Not The Whales" was etched into the blank space at the end of the Radio Clash remix 45

working class song lyrics que vive!

greenyrock is spot on both the clash and the who are legends in their own right,roger daltrey lists the clash as his favourite band.

I fully agree with Rudeass. The Clash are gods of music.

they played 17 shows in 15 days... crazy... -J

Yeah, then again, the whole band are on the whole "I really really don't want to upset the fans" so I can picture them practising their music for absolutely fucking ages before any gig. Bloody amazing guys.

The only band that ever mattered!

The consciense of The World !

This is Radio Clash...

@TheOmegalomaniac. thank you for the rebuttal. I don't hate Green Day, just don't think they should be mentioned in the same breath as the Clash. I own some GD CDs and have listened them and like them. I guess the politics of the 70's & 80's are different from now. Besides the Clash, there were also many other great 'punk' bands from the 70's, like the Stranglers, The Fall, Gang of Four...respectfully yours, kenhenburn

Still great video, considering not in a studio

this one sounds fuckin good live

Where's the last part?

@helsista: You're on point!

Funky!

I enjoy the fist that Joe makes towards Mick 2:43

I'm 50 and saw the Clash twice - to say they were life changing gigs is an understatement. RIP Joe, you are still sorely missed. Thank God we had the Clash...Green Day and the Kaiser Chiefs are just very very very pale wannabes.

revolucion o muerte this is radio clash cuban army everybody hold on tigh!!!!

i agree with ya, haters gonna hate

@mrbassman25 right on!

@VolXrat its been up for ages...just do a search...

who was the writer in the back getting up? i know futura was touring with them around this time, but i'm not sure if that's actually him. would be cool to know

Synder/Clash videos did they preform then get interviewed and then preform again? also this is the first live preformance that I've noticed Joe isn't wearing anything on his right wrist.

The Clash is Soo funky.

Yeh it does 'Please Save Us' onf oneside, then 'Not The Whales' on the other. its a radio demo 12".

Clash were first, along with Pistols and Ramones. End of story.

right buddy! green day is a commercial band
