Super jam of Police And Thieves! I've had this set on disc for some time so it's great to see the visual and audio combined. Much respect to all the fans esp @Aristotlekh for a wealth of footage! Best vids on the tube!

[DevoDevoT]

As usual, Joe giving it everything he's got. The guy could not have had any musical regrets; he was the most honest player ever.

[GentlemanHES]

@DevoDevoT Very well said! He's a perfect example of how far passion alone will take you!

[jamfan81]

R.I.P JOE a true music legend.

[negrorastapunky]

ke buenoooooo

[angeltobaros]

the clash --> the mesopolitans

[thundertower]

they should've released another combat rock/sandinista or a mescaleros/punk rock type of album in '00 strummer surely still got it

[thundertower]

..and by "they" i mean the clash, life sucks and this is one of the reason why

[johnnybooda]

choon...

[dadswizz]

just gets better with age. wonder where it might have gone if he hadn't cashed in his chips. its like hendrix, joplin,morrison, loads more stuff to get done..plant a tree instead . save the world..! !

[petarst]

shit i never sow him and meet him .....

Belgrade Calling for Joe ...

[darkrebel09]

Joe Strummer is a LEGEND, I'll never forget his style, his passion for music, just lovely .

[HeathInClearLake]

Very cool "wall of sound" ending to the song.

[Unity678]

the wall of sound is essentially walls of speakers that are in accord with each string on the bass. Phil Lesch of the Grateful Dead actually designed it himself and used it for his six string bass. The reason for this was so that it would seem like different notes were coming from different sides of the room. it creates a very trippy effect. there is no wall of sound demonstrated here.

[HeathInClearLake]

HEY, THANKS OF THE INFO, BRO! i wish i knew more about music.

[HeathInClearLake]

bro, spoke with a musician friend of mine, and he says you have no clue of what you're talking about., and the end of this song is very much a "wall of sound".

That, and the greatful dead sucked...their fans have to be drugged in order to survive the suckyness.

[Unity678]

and FYI i wasnt trying to insult you or put you down. No offense to joe strummer or any other musician playing here, but they are not using the wall of sound in this video. Just because you have 6 or 7 people playing instruments and using "gang vocals" does NOT mean its the wall of sound.

[Unity678]

whats wrong with the dead?

[rockerstarblack]

lol

[1Lister1]

We know you had to take stuff to be able to listen to the dead, but still, everyone knows the wall of sound was made by Phil Spector in the 60ies.

It's a line up of guitars who follow chords and two basses in perfect fifths, percussion and echo mixed in...

[seancarletonzero]

Much love for JOE

[canadajapanindia]

not long before he died, joe played a smallish club in tokyo with with mescaleros. i thought about ditching work to catch the gig, but decided against it, thinking "i'll catch him next time."

without doubt, that is the single biggest regret of my entire life. please don't chastise me for this, i've already suffered enough...

i don't know much about today's wannabe sneer brigades, but they should donate 50% of their earnings to john graham mellor's favorite charities...an absolute giant.

[nxtmaster]

Joe had more energy than a blue bottle on red bull and more passion for music than anyone I can remember - his legacy is immense - one of a kind - RIP.

[andreaprodan]

Joe and The Clash gave me the ENERGY INJECTION that kept me alive and Kicking (and playing!) till today!

Thanks to him and Luca Prodan!

[tragicallyhiprule]

If there is a heaven, Im going to find Joe when I get there.
