  • this song makes my hairs stand on end every time. such a slick tune. nothing like Joe strummer and there will be no other artist like him ever. modern music isn't what it used to be. there are a few hidden gems but nothing to the extent of good music that there used to be back in the day.

  • the beginning reminds me of m.i.a. paper planes.....

  • @lapsassa1 mia took the backing track

  • People didn't absloutly realized what they were experinecing, they weren't even singin'... I would have loved to be there, CLASH AND JO FOR EVER.......

  • @kristincurrier

    Of course they know who that fucking is, the crowd isn't filled with young people, it's filled with older people that grew up listening to Joe.

  • Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Straight To Hell

  • That's a lame crowd. Do they even know who that is???

  • rest in peace Joe. 9 years later and you still continue to change the lives of people today, i love you.

  • They thought M.I.A. was supposed to be there--bet they'd be lively as hell. When I was 17 and saw the Clash I knew greatness indeed was before me...and acted appropriately. That being said the Nuremberg comment is something Joe would'nt have liked.

  • I CRIED WHEN JOE STRUMMER DIED..... AND I WAS ONLY 7 AT THE TIME. R.I.P YOU LEGEND

  • @highschoolmusical841

    i believe it was glen matlock who created the riff for ''pretty vacant'' for the sex pistols which was inspired by an Abba tune.

    speaking of yuk.... high school musical ? ahem !!! say no more ;) haha.

  • Whats that T-shirt his wearing?

  • C'est bon et émouvant de voir ce front man emporter avec lui cette pépite des Clash.

  • Seriously, this fucking crowd is comatose to one of the greatest artist of rock and roll. in our time.

    The German crowds were so enthusiastic at the Nuremberg rally. You can shove that respect right up your ass!

  • @MrResip

    Be sure that i love joe as much as any goodhearted person here.

    Just want to tell you that yes - maybe we germans are best at making nuremberg rallies. i doubt it, you don´t, thats ok. But this is certain : rally-crowds are made up of people who love and cherish stereotypes. So there`s a place for you there too as you have just shown.

    And one more thing : yes, its embarassing to see the response they get for their wonderful, wonderful music.

    MrResip, we are better than THIS crowd !

  • to everyone complaining about the crowd.

    They are German, famous for being 'reserved' when watching a band, they like to be silent and take in every ounce of music to be heard. very laid back, and massive music fans.

    you dont have to be in a stupid mosh pit to show ''enjoyment''

    the Germans are very respectful watching bands,

    from 'a Scotsman' !!!

  • I miss Joe every day

  • class, the prawn sandwich crowd at the front dont know , whats goin on, their waitin for coldplay

  • "I got the SHOE!  CInderella!"

    Oh, this world is colder without you Joe ...

  • Comment removed

  • que publico tan amargo.........

  • Awesome version. Strummer was a genuinely great man

  • Who cares about the crowd??? Even mild Joe Strummer out rocks almost any other artist around. The Clash at the Bond times square in early 80's. . . they must have been so tight. Those back to back shows.. ..Now that's fucking rock n roll. We are talkin Elvis at the Lousianna Hayride The Stones in 60's California. . . . .Fucking Chuck Berry doing the duck walk. . .. Pile on the awesome. . .

  • the most missed man in music!

  • Rockin' to this please ???

    the crowd sucksss

    i would cut my pennis to do mosh pit on a joe strummer consert...

    

  • Pessoas como joe strummer não mereciam morrer por isso ele permanece vivo eternizado em suas canções!!! agradeço a ele por ter feito músicas que me inspiram!!!

  • THE MAN THE FUCKING LEGEND. JOE STRUMMER

  • RIP <3

  • Thank you!!! Awesome man Joe!!

  • Like I've said in the past stupid fucks... they don't appreciate what they were listening. I hope Joe is resting in peace, he was the greatest vocalist in punk music. Long live The Clash!!!

  • WHAT A SHITTY CROWD!!!!!!!

  • JUST MADE ME CRY......I REALY DONT NEED TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE....EUROPE DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CLASH WAS ALL ABOUT....THE END

  • Only discovered Joe Strummer recently....wish I could have seem him live...microphones in the crowd or not!!!!!!!

  • Stop bitching about the crowd, you douchebags. Enjoy the music.

  • Joe strummer is dearly missed by the world of music...what a loss

  • lol m.i.a totally stole this, listen to M.IA "get your money"

  • "This is how it should be, back in England, the crowd was over there, over there!"

    Stunning...

  • Just because there weren't microphones put on the audience it doesn't mean that the crowd sucked.

  • @AndywinXp there is actually microphones on the audience, you cans ee them when joe is singin at the front

  • What the hell was wrong with those people!

  • The crowd obviously wasn't The Clash fans, SO WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY DOING THERE?!

  • @G4MBAs This isnt a clash concert,,,,,its the Bizarre Festival.

  • that telecaster leaning on the front speaker has been instrumental in some of the best songs of a generation- it should be put in a museum!!!!

  • if i was in the crowd i woulda gone mad!!!!!

  • haha such a great song :D Damn it the lead is holding him back!!! RIP Joe Strummer....

  • Cinderella! XD

  • i don't see anything wrong with the crowd. the audience is supposed to listen to the artist's interpretation. nowadays people scream more than the singer. damn, listen to what they are telling you (if what they are saying is important - if you listen to robbie williams scream and yell as long as you want...)

  • lol, "I got the shoe!!" I absolutely love Joe Strummer. He was the greatest. Pretty simple statement, I know. But oh, so, true. MAN I wish I could've seen him.

  • And you know all those peeps who didn't know what they were witnessing are like, "I was there! It was great!" NOW. Sheesh.... what I would've given to see the mighty, mighty Joe Strummer live. Never thought we'd lose you so early, Joe. RIP

  • looks like the crowd was brought in from Uranus

  • i miss joe,his shows were great

  • It was just lost on this festival crowd. They want that summer's in crowd rather than musical legends serenading them. Apparently big fans of Cinderella though. SUGGESTION - Go to the panto folks!

  • what the hell you think is wrong with the crowd? seriously. they all fell asleep. this ain't no clash.

  • What is wrong with the crowd??? I'd give my right leg to see Joe Strummer live!

  • @EdNortonisMineLol they are germans lol,i saw him live twice,he was fantastic.

  • oh man i wish i was there... to see Joe live with anyband i would do anything for it... I envy everyone who got to see him... RIP... man you still live through your timeless songs...

  • lead guitar is sloppy and out of tune...

  • joe plz reincarnate now

  • Hard to criticize the crowd, had I witnessed this so close, I'd be enthralled as well.

  • Yeah, what a douche crowd. I love how Joe made fun of them at the end. And this was a Mescalaros set??? Holy crap!  I would've killed to seen it.

  • I FLY LIKE PAPER GET HIGH LIKE PLANES

  • Joe, pick up your guitar right now!!!!

  • they should make a movie bout strummer n have ricky gervais play him...

  • That guitarist is not as good as he should be to play with Joe Strummer

  • Joe Strummer was an utterly unique individual in how he viewed modern society. Very rare for rock music in the 70s and 80s. He is sorely missed.

    Rest in peace Joe, the world was lucky to have you.

  • @degree7 He was truly a Renaissance Man. I only wished him and Alex Cox did some more movies.

  • Bad crowd. Henry Rollins did a hilarious spoken word piece about German audiences, so it looks like this reaction is pretty typical.

  • Who got the shoe?

  • the most missed man in punk. love you joe

  • hell, most missed man in music, period.

  • you say its a bad crowd but its no really a jump about song now is it? they all seem to be into the song listing to it trying to understand it which for a song like this i feel thats what audience should be doing.

  • Still I listen...Still I learn.

  • Are these people in audience dead ?

  • Comment removed

  • It's not the crowds fault

    they were probably raised with crap music,so true genius like this probably doesn't register

  • @mdwo01

    You DON'T know that ! Sometimes people can be reserved does not mean they are not digging it in the minds.

  • i like the drummer he's pretty good but topper is better :)

  • that shit never dies

  • Joe=God

  • This is probably my favorite live video of Joe. The Clash were awesome but the pressures of being a popular band soon took its toll. Here Joe seems most happy doing his thing with the Mescaleros. This show could make a great live dvd. I dont care about the crowd reaction as the band mesmerizes me! The best.

    RIP Joe.

  • This is a Great Christmas song!

  • Lucky if you can find the other shoe.

  • BIZARRE CROWD!

  • typical german crowd.

  • I just came across the videos of this concert a few days ago, and I am just blown away! This is all I've been playing non-stop ever since. Joe is in fine form, the Mescaleros are tight, you can see the day was perfect, the crowd was a little shy, but they didn't seem to know they were in the company of greatness, so I won't be too harsh on them. This is terrific!

  • wish i seen them live!!!!!!!!!!! :(

  • Did they play concert on the cementary for ZZZOOOMBBIESSSS...........????­???

  • crowds never phased joe, he always expressed what he had to say, if they were listning or not , ........................ cindarella lol , impeccable timin joe

  • I love how Joe always had his finger in his ear for this song. ya know why?

  • @madaikings why

  • @mikethehat1 Joe told me years ago that the song was a radio message to the world. He had a funny side to him that nobody really saw.

  • @madaikings cool , i get it ,cheers

  • why is no one reacting? complete disrespect for joe who's giving it his all..

  • an undeserving crowd... bloody germans... why did joe even bother

  • Comment removed

  • Joe deserved a god damn wireless mic...

  • that crowd did not give a fuck. what losers! this was an awesome performance!

  • blah blah blah. stfu about MIA and go away

  • Tim Armstrong sent me here. "And I'll keep listening to the great Joe Strummer, cause through music we can live forever".

  • @inIikesin oi oi oi, up the punx

  • the beginning sounds like mia's 'paper planes'

  • @frusciante7 you're kidding me right? It saddens me how many people out there think MIA's paper planes is actually original. Heres some advice as an aspiring music fan... know that nowadays...especially with acts like MIA, if it sounds great....its most likely taken or sampled from someone else.

  • @spacem0nkey77 Erm yeh did i say anything about it? I just noticed that the notes at the beginning of that song and those from the beginning of paper planes are the same... Damn cool off man xD

  • heart and soul,,,love him,,more balls than all todays bands

  • GERMAN CROWD IS SHIT! I USED TO LIVE THERE AND IN THE SMAL CLUBS ARE EVEN WORST!

  • Let's see....I'm in the front row....watching a fucking legend try to make a connection.....a fucking poet the likes we won't see again for who knows how long....and i think i'll turn to the girl behind me and have a conversation.

  • @canadianroot Thks. The last friday I saw (spanish tv) "Joe Strummer, The future is unwritten" and still i guess why I losed her music after The Clash. Joe was a great man and musicians, please!!!

  • the crowd r dicks,,,strummer on top form playing to arse holes

  • OMG....Joe at his best .......WTF is the crowd on with......Back in the UK it would have been mad...RIP big man

  • What most people here don't seem to understand is, if a German crowd attempted to dance without lederhosen, they would all fall down.

  • if i had the chance to be there i would be rocking out ! not standing around alienly

  • Best version of the song.

  • couldn't strummer get a better freakin guitar player?!!!!!

    WTF?!!!

  • @greenfish88 Pretty difficult tune to play on a les paul live - an asian melody on a western instrument. Besides, Joe Strummer was in The Clash. If you want wanky perfection, go listen to Pink Floyd.

  • What the fuck??!!! It's almost as if nobody in the audience had even heard this song before! They're just standing around, not even singing along!

  • one of the best versions of this song ive heard :)

  • @TheEddster you must be joking!!

  • this must have been tough for joe to take a song like this to a new generation of kids

  • I got the shoe !? wtf ?!!

  • That crowd must be over-dosed on Xanax. What the hell is wrong with them!

  • Worst crowd ever...

  • @ketamina quiet doesn't mean bad, it COULD mean maybe they're really intently listening to the story this man is telling.

    or, they're just too baked to do anything noisy.

  • @ketamina i think they are all in awe guys....

  • @ketamina WORST 

  • tune some guitars..or buy the clash complete song book and play in the same key...loved the meskies..not their high point here!

  • its funny how when this song first came out everyone bagged it......but now that joe is dead and the clash are long gone everyone that shat on it is now saying 'oh they were the best'....personally i liked the band in every carnation they had.,,,from start to finish...and further to the mescaleros and joes solo stuff.

  • @stikkirecords

    hey,never bagged it.It´s the best song ever written.Loved it from the first time.I was 13 at that time

  • Amazing song.

  • The punk rock warlord stares down 50,000 strong.....Joe's powerful

  • "I got the shoe......Cinderella"! Roflmao....Great performance by Joe&Co. Shame about the crowd as I've seen Rockplast performances from Rory Gallagher that have knocked the crowd out. RIP Big Man!

  • WTF IS WRONG WITH THAT CROWD

  • @c3hosky im thinkin acid? or maybe they just diddnt realize who was in front of them

  • @c3hosky they're german!

  • @c3hosky Short answer is - they're German.

  • @TheLargeJesus that might be true ... but that's just not the right audience for someone like joe strummer .... I bet 99% in the audience didn't even know who strummer was; I personally would sell my grandparents for having strummer playing that song to me ....

  • @c3hosky

    cos they are morons...

  • That crowd should be dead instead of Joe.

  • Just love this video, had to swing by again and listen to this. Joe is so amazing...he cared about what he sang - he wrote what was in his heart and what he saw - he didn't set out to change the world, he just had a message - and that message - it changed a lot of us. I saw an interview once with him and he called his inspiration his "3AM thoughts". I can't think of any artists today that are this relevant, or would even get any airplay if they tried to challenge "the man". RIP in Joe.

  • Probably a great show, but the discombobulated video is unwatchable...enough to drive ya nuts!

  • RIP Joe Strummer! I love you and you music! Über deinen Tod hinaus! Wahrhaftige, gute Musik!

  • FFS.......Back in the UK this would have gone down a storm..Thick Germans didnt understant pure class...RIP big Joe

  • Joe seemed to be suggesting that the crowd were going wild at the back but not at the front. Loved the moment with the shoe where he calls out for Cinderella!

    I agree with the below comment - we need the spirit of Strummer to be carried on and live on in another prominent musical figure. Music, culture and dominant modes of thinking today just make me recall that Atari Teenage Riot song: Too Dead For Me.

  • Love it.

  • the croud really sucks here. the deadlock. no movement.

    joe divine as always

  • Please JOE if there is a paradise, in the life after death, tell to the Boss that we need you back!!!

  • I'm not much of a fan of the Clash's material after London calling, but it makes me wanna kick someones ass that people dont know the beginning riff was from Joe, not that MIA skank

  • don't talk shit on mia. you think she just used the beat because she wanted to be known for it over the clash?

  • german assholes..

    

  • @mad1966dog

    not german assholes, most of the crowd are only too young to know Joe, sad but true. I was there and it was one of my emotional concert moments of all time!!

  • I miss you, Joe.

  • fucking krauts havnt got a clue whos stood in front of them !!!

  • rasta! rasta! what an amazing gay!!!

  • rasta! rasta! what an amazing gay!!!

  • quanto ci manchi Joe ! 

  • Comment removed

  • @swill689 too bad all the indie bands are a dime a dozen, and we're just addicted to specific sounds we've heard instead of being original.... but you're DAMN RIGHT

  • Comment removed

  • @swill689 i honestly think about 85 is when the shit got bad the

    90's was just as shit mostly 1 hit wonder dance bands and boy bands

    who other than the likes of radio head and nirvana in the 90's were

    good

  • What is that shirt Joe is wearing about?

  • Crass not clash!

  • Straight Up To Hell Boy! ....

  • joe strummer- john mellor- you are missed.

    i hope someone picks up your mantle -

    someone has to matter again!

  • at last music that has some heart

  • the intro to this song sounds like paper planes from MIA

  • @DainChristian Other way around. M.I.A. sampled this song done by the Clash back in the Eighties.

  • @DainChristian you are what is wrong with the music industry

  • Fine guitar work...ahh yeah!

  • That opening riff, guitar and bass, then drum.. Made me jump over the walls of Glastonbuty 99, to get in up close to it!

    I had just arrived on site, and you know that feeling, when you hear great music? The hairs on your back and tingle up your spine.. Nothing beats that.

  • Legend..

  • Joe is appealing to the living dead (the audience) with all his heart!!

    Can't help but think that an audience like that would drain you of the will to live! But I'm certain, however soul destroying it appears, Joe could deal with all kinds of crowds in his time!

  • 'Get Red'?

  • love this tune

  • the germans never show emotions!

  • Thats not true check a Silvermond show in live ... zum bei Spiel :-)

    These guys in the video front of the big man ...hm they just dunno anything about anything and waiting for the actual german Tokyo Hotel group to get amaized and ... pfhhh Oh God knows how happy I`d be to see him to listen how Joe sings that time.... I miss him even if I did not know him but I miss him a lot and it makes me miserable to know I would and could never see or hear him again in live....
