I love how they re worked "Highway Patrolman" into an uptempo Latin flavored groove with hints of Krautrock and a bit of post-WWII hard-bop jazz.Marky Dread wrote: ↑16 Nov 2017, 11:57pmThey remind me of old time dancing.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑16 Nov 2017, 11:42pmHey Wire isn't punk rock at all.

No I sent you Bruce Springsteen backed by the Swans live at the Mud Club, stupid.

That's my favourite and the 12'' remix where they throw in a little skiffle for good measure.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑17 Nov 2017, 12:05amI love how they re worked "Highway Patrolman" into an uptempo Latin flavored groove with hints of Krautrock and a bit of post-WWII hard-bop jazz.Marky Dread wrote: ↑16 Nov 2017, 11:57pmThey remind me of old time dancing.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑16 Nov 2017, 11:42pmHey Wire isn't punk rock at all.

Seriously Marky, I need a new server for all this stuff. I can't keep up - and that Gothenburg show is new to me, too

Happy birthday mate sorry it's late. Hope you had a good one.
I'm really pleased with the sound on this US Festival. Still plenty more to come.

Re: Marky Dread Remasters
Too bad we don’t have any tape of the backstage shenanigans, like say Kosmo screaming at Bernie that if he wants to hold a press conference demanding Van Halen give some of their pay to charity, that he should bloody hold it himself. What a palaver. No wonder in some of the band’s own versions of their history it was the end. If it was fiction, you couldn’t write a better end of the band than the U.S. Festival!

I know I may be in the minority but I thought they were poor at the US Festival. The fire had gone out and the drummer wasn't that good. They should have hired Rick Buckler when Terry left again.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Well don't tell Matey about this! Yeah, I've always the Pete Howard was waaaay too techy for the Clash (Clash Mk II - fuggetaboutit). But I don't know that Buckler could cut all the styles (great as he is), not even as well as Terry managed. And wasn't he still with the Jam touring 'The Gift' in September '83 or had they called it a day by then as well?

Re: Marky Dread Remasters
Was over for the Jam in December 82, Buckler could have done anything, 100 times better than Terry. Listen to Funeral Pyre and imagine Terry attempting it. It would have sounded like someone throwing a drum kit down the stairs.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑17 Nov 2017, 10:53pmWell don't tell Matey about this!

Re: Marky Dread Remasters
Oh I'm not denying Rick's one of the greats, but could he pull off reggae and modern funk/hip hop as well as Terry sometimes managed? And anyway, we know why they picked Terry - he was a known quantity and they needed someone to do the gigs in nine days. Shit, if they'd really wanted to go balls out with probably the best session drummer on the scene, the coulda asked Mark Brzecki before he was in Big Country (which, incidentally, Rick Buckler was playing in briefly after the Skids broke up and Stuart and Bruce got Tony and Mark and nailed the sound).Heston wrote: ↑17 Nov 2017, 10:59pmWas over for the Jam in December 82, Buckler could have done anything, 100 times better than Terry.
