[coolconfuzer]

Somthing about this song scares me...I think of dien bien phu. If no one knows what that is look it up.

[iceguyty]

Many nights have come an gone, listening too the melodic blues, of this true spitual song Very very peacful...........I want this played at my funeral, and with bag pipes .

[TheManolakis]

genius pure genius, one of the best bands EVER !

[tctcetb]

combat rock is such a great album and this is one of the best tracks on it.

[brajtnerinjo]

Clash was much bigger than punk, this song proves it like nothing else.

[wirebead]

I still love punk, but now that I'm into my old fart "national public radio" stage I'm really glad they left us w/ the more complex & interesting songs as well.

[LawrenceofVA]

so this is live? must be a board mix and very quiet audience

[AppoCC119]

It's not live, it's the early non-finished version of Sean Flynn from when Mick Jones was still producing the album.

[foraggio]

RIP Sean Flynn, too. He was a photojournalist from Australia who went missing in Cambodia in 1970 after spending some years documenting the Vietnam War prior. Great photographer.

[belbird]

Sure his Dad was Australian, but by the looks of the films he made and the other places he lived, I'm not even sure he ever lived in Australia!

[betsy111201]

what was the name of the book on Nam that discusses sean flynn? Dispatches??

[LawrenceofVA]

he was also an actor with a couple of movies under his belt and a decent future in hollyood

real damn shame - but at least his name lives on in hollywood - thanks to his nephew

[dftalbot]

@foraggio : Dear Mr Foraggio, Sean Flynn was the son of the Famos Errol Flynn.

Sean began as an actor and then chose Photojournalism and went to Vietnam.

He`s mentioned in Michael Herrs Book, "Dispatches", where the main Character is the Famous war Photographer "Tim Page", This Guy is the represented in Francis Coppola`s "Apocalypse Now" by Dennis Hopper.

dude i need to ask why isnt the master take on youtube at all its not on there i really think thats the only song not on youtube along with the croked beat by simo would u do one plz dude and check if there all there?

[AppoCC119]

The Crooked Beat is you Youtube, in fact, I put it up myself.

You're right though, it seems the Combat Rock master of Sean Flynn is missing. I'll see what I can do.

[PunkLobo]

I love to hear this song over my lonely nights. This version is pretty diferent of the album version. But just great as the album version.

[tctcetb]

the clash at the top of their game

[madmex66]

25 years and I still miss this band.ALOT.

[modeck1]

There is so much poetry on side 2 of 'Combat Rock.' 'Sean Flynn' is my favourite song by the Clash, just listen to the bass and the atmospherics...hadn't heard this versh before, thx for putting it up

[secondwindrecords]

gary barnacle playing sax?....

[AppoCC119]

Yep, most likely.

[coolconfuzer]

spooky as fuck that intro

[americircus]

There is something about this song. I feel like it is a some kind of motion picture theme song. Pure genius!!!

[ughaghugh]

YES this is my favorite song from Combat Rock! It's so passionate and mellow, I could listen to it all night.

Finally someone posted it (even though it's another version), thank you very very much :)!

[cdocasualty]

[fatcat669]

[AppoCC119]

[fatcat669]

[AppoCC119]

Emmm...I'm not really a Youtube expert, so I don't know if you can send files over Youtube. I do know how to send files over mail, but I don't know how to find yours.

[Methuselah18]
