Unfortunately for us, like Kinolibrary, Global ImageWorks wants money.

BTW, it looks to be from 1989 during the Earthquake Weather US tour.

Yeah I read the blurb regards money. I think it's later maybe 1994. Looking at Joe's hair and leather jacket.

Yeah, I thought later than 89.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Nice find.
Joe must have been 11-12 to hear NFA by The Stones. He was never one for accuracy. :mrgreen:

Wow, same shirt underneath too.
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.

I've seen excerpts from this interview before in I want to say a "History of Rock and Roll" type documentary on VH1. This uncut clip is definitely new though. I'll see if I can track down the doc.

It's a huge 10 part series from Time Life Video/Television. It aired in 1995, so 1994 sounds right for the Joe interview.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Histo ... 7n%27_Roll

It also includes on of my favorite Strummer quotes: "I think rock and roll exists to deliver this truth that needs to be constantly delivered, rock, hip hop, whatever you call it. It reminds this unspoken message is that it is fun to be alive. It's a hell of a lot better than being dead."
