The Mighty Mag 7 from Bonds 6/8 observations thread
Such a glorious mess it needs its own thread.
I must've listened to all bleeding 8:31 of it about 20 times this week, and every time there's another onion layer of ad-libs and shit I didn't notice before. There's...just so much going on here I don't even. . .

I remembered get this show on tape early 90's (the audience recording of course)
And listen to this version again and again and again and again...
I'm gonna broadcast it and speaks about the Bond's period on my next radio show for sure
There is lot's of discussions on this board about sandinista
lot's of people prefer the london calling era or the punk period.
But to me sandinista is the best and the sandinista is the apogee of the Clash
Punk to funk
The cocktail between this two still inspire me today and i think is what The Clash (musically speaking) bring best to the world
And this Mag7 version it's a perfect exemple
punk+funk+freedom+party !!!

Re: The Mighty Mag 7 from Bonds 6/8 observations thread
Sounds great! I remember sitting in a hotel room in Italy a few years back and half-drunkenly watching a local radio show broadcast on tv when they started talking about Sandinista!. Bugged the hell outta me cos I hadn't a clue what they were saying. It's a head-heart thing for me. I feel i have no choice but to prefer London Calling on account of its sheer creative genius, but my heart is with Sandinista! and Mag 7 will always be my all-time fav Clash song.bazarboy75 wrote:Indeed !TeddyB Not Logged In wrote:I was disappointed they didn't pick this for FHTE.

You can pick and choose as much as you like, but in the diversity that The Clash gave, there are so many options. I love London Calling and Sandinista! and especially some tracks from both albums, but then I am also graced with other album tracks, singles and b-sides. Spoilt for choice, that's me.

I like what happens around the 6'20 mark, the rhythm seems to slow a notch and the song mellows out for a while. Initially i thought there was some kind of distortion on the recording but i'm sure it isn't. Whatever's going on, it adds a nice touch to the track.

Agreed 100%

Hadn't listened to this in awhile, but god damn was that enjoyable. Mag 7 is one I usually skip due to its musical repetitiveness, but this was such a fascinating performance. Definitely one of their all time great performances.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
