Guehenno 85 - Elixir French Film trailer

Post by Blackmarketclash »

I noticed this came up on the net. A trailer for Guehenno Festival with a heavy Clash influence. There is no Clash footage so I would presume there is none? There is lots of fans footage but it spreads numerous years?

EDIT.. there is some brief fans footage of Athens at the end

Any info?

That's...really weird. Just the trailer being SO Clash centric but not seemingly having any footage of the band.
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.

Regarding The Clash (well if you consider this group as the Clash ...) this documentary is a scam. There are just a handful of photos quickly sent to I can't remember which song ? 1mn or so...
I guess they wanted to put more but they weren't allowed to use the video from the concert.
this documentary has taken years to see the light, it may be because of that.
I recently listened to an interview with the director but he doesn't mention it

so weird to mislead people like that over such an obscure thing.

Not sure did i read somewhere that footage of some or possibly all the clash elixir performance exists, though dont know why they couldnt include any of it in that broadcast.

What is that Mag 7 from?

Also that Roskilde footage is apparently priceless. Even Temple couldn't get anything better than it for Future Is Unwritten.

Thanks for the help. Good footage of the Festival.

Interesting that there is no film footage – and no soundboard despite being radio broadcast.
