07. Joe Strummer - White Man In Hammersmith Palais

[Dunner1994]

Just last week I realized The Clash were now my favourite band of all time, knocking The Beatles from that place...The Clash just meant so much more...about everything.

[PBANDSNOW]

The Clash were such an amazing band, if only Joe hadnt binned Topper and Mick, maybe they could beat those lame ass Beatles.

joe = pure energy

[davidjf64]

one of the best clash songs ever. there will never be another band like that

[reallytheblues]

I ever loved the Joe ad lives.

[reallytheblues]

Tymon is a amazing musician too.

Best ever Clash song

[eilis59]

trust me joe live was the best fun you could have in life...whether clash pogues or mescalero, he always blew the roof on.

never had to pay in either!

[theenglishcivilwar]

twenty years after, and he was exactly the same guy . If we close our eyes we don't if the video is in 2000's or in 70's/80's...

cooooool

[paulken22]

F*ck me Joey. You really are the coolest. R.I.P.

[tsarrynight]

So unbelievable and tragic to think that he died so shortly after. This is one of my favourite songs ever, I would have loved to hear Joe play it live.

[loerez]

what a marvelous gig!

too bad the mics sound a little crappy, but anyway i watched the whole concert like a dozen times the last days...

joe was an awsome songwriter, thanks so much for sharing, aristolekh!

[crassomatic]

I will never forget opening up for the CLASH at s.u.n.y BINGHAMTON..New York.. WE SUCKED. They, of course, were "GODS:" I am so very lucky to have used his microphone. Thanks to WHRW's THE GREAT WHITE WHALE FOR booking the GIG of my life. PLUS meeting them after the gig was a dream.JOE IS THE CLASH Joe was the CLASH.Without JOE ,there would not have been a 'CLASH'

[punkmom17]

Hey!

I saw that show in Binghamton! I've been trying to find out what the exact date was - can you help? Sorry to say that I don't remember anything about the opening act ... I do remember it was about 5 degrees outside that night!

[chrisstephens1957]

One of the best Rock n Roll songs of all time. By arguably the greatest Rock band. Once a generation comes something like this. My god..i count myself so so lucky to have been onboard the rollercoaster ride that was the Clash....17 times i saw them live...from 78 to the last rites in 84. As someone once wrote...."if you dont like the Clash....you dont know anything"

[theenglishcivilwar]

well, you're very very lucky to had been there...

I'm fifteen, and I don't know what was the clash in live, I wish I have known that...

[Baildoggg]

@theenglishcivilwar agreed

[bubsyman]

The Clash.....Best band ever!!!!!!

[cretinbob]

This is the best Clash song EVAR. Damn great version.

[muttley85]

Aristotlekh,you're so great!!!

[metamoralia]

... and I love how he so cooly elides the immortal line about "turning rebellion into money."

[metamoralia]

Great, great song--even better peformed by Strummer in this period than by The Clash, back in the day, IMHO ...

[matedog2]

Play it Tymon!

Thanks for posting this show.
