Me too, great to see Joe in particular having so much fun. I laughed aloud when Pete saved him from the gates swinging open.

I can't get enough, this is one of the best Clash performances I've ever seen. Everyone who commented on Clash mark-2 is now silent!

Great stuff. Somewhat reminiscent of the '68 Comeback Special, conceptually and visually.

Except for Joe's bright orange hair. That looks more like Elvis's hairpiece from Kissin' Cousins.

I wasn't consciously thinking of it, but it's the old Kelvin McKenzie line in relation to John Major. Seems very appropriate as throwing buckets of shit over things is what creeps like Bernie and McKenzie so expertly do!JohnS wrote: ↑02 Oct 2022, 7:23amI just love that line.

The energy and positivity and the fun are great. But all that leather give me a break.
Plus it feels like they are a gang and that was anything but the case when it came to the recording of CtC.

Re: Clash busking in Edinburgh
Sorry, I don't know. I'm only good for a couple of pubs in Edinburgh and not too good on street names. I should do better because I have been going through since I was a kid. If you're ever there, tell Kirsty on The Oxford that Dave from Dundee asks after her.matedog wrote: ↑29 Sep 2022, 11:32amVery cool. Any idea where the footage was from? The description says "Gateway Exchange", but Google search wasn't helpful.dave202 wrote: ↑29 Sep 2022, 11:23amI went through to Edinburgh for the gig at La Sorbonne and earlier in the day saw them busking outside the HMV store at the entrance to the (now demolished) St. James Centre. After a few songs, the band all chatted with a few of us. For years after, anytime I went into that shop it I could feel a chill in my bones.

Re: Clash busking in Edinburgh
That footage is so good i so enjoyed watching that.
I remember this so well and the Sun newspaper was reporting on there busking tour. One story they told was how the clash was busking outside in the streets in one town and there was The Alarm playing on tour in a local venue and the whole gig emptied so the fans could watch the clash instead. I don't know if that was true but i remember the story and i believed every word as well.
I know that no one knew when the next town was either that they would play at it was kept secret on purpose which i was disappointed about as i would have gone if i had known where they were back in the day as a youngster - i would never do anything like that now.
The sun would report on the mayhem that their busking tour brought in the streets with fans flocking to watch them but that video doesn't suggest that at all.
I saw them before the album came out and they were really good much better than any documentation or youtube clips we get to see or hear about today. So its really nice to see the band here giving a good representation of themselves.
I still remember the horror and the wtf response i had when i heard their album for the first time it was a long awaited album to hear those great songs that i heard live just to be confused and gutted at the final studio cut.

Yeah join the club. I saw them in Brixton and while without Mick they didn't sound as good they did have a few new tracks that showed promise ...then that album.NoMoreHugh wrote: ↑03 Oct 2022, 3:58pmThat footage is so good i so enjoyed watching that.

Re: The Alarm Joe said something like they were "a shadow of the former Clash".
But years later he admitted he was wrong and told Mike Peters just how great he thought they were and whenever he heard The Alarm on the radio he was surprised a what great songs they had.
