The Clash - Train in Vain (live)

[Cookieclark312]

Wow they were so good live wish they were still together.

[telegramsam2000]

Teremides - are you always so charming?

[promisedeyes]

Remind me again why we're talking about Coldplay? Just enjoy the video... :P

[recalcitrist1]

Clash is the real fuckin' deal!

Btw, did you hear about the two corpusles who met in vein?

[telegramsam2000]

Coldplay? What the fuck does Coldplay have to do with anything?

[Terremides]

@telegramsam2000 then why are you even mentioning them you dumb fuck?

[justgetsome]

2 assholes here don't appreciate amazing music and why is cold play mentioned? they aren't even cheap rip offs, they are cannon fodder.

[unclepic1]

London Calling was one hell of an album...

[TheJayman213]

@unclepic1 IS*

[unclepic1]

@TheJayman213 haha sorry about that funny u just commented on this just listened to this song for the first time in months earlier today :)

[FightingIrish595]

Thumbs up if you just heard this on classic rewind and remember it from NCAA 06

[norpanzers]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaa un grito antirepresivo¡¡

[Thundersnort]

You should never mention Coldplay in the same sentence as the Clash unless you include the phrase " is not nor will ever be ".

Then apologize to the memory of Joe Strummer.

[DrummerJake15]

Why is coldplay mentioned, thats fucking offensive to the clash

<3

[PlayaEsterillos]

@DrummerJake15 yeah

[23simulation]

One person doesn't appreciate good music.

[bobstrete]

Is this the Capitol Theatre in Passaic. If so, I was there.

[n8skate24]

hahahahahaha. Why is coldplay being compared to the clash? different generations, different fanbases, two completely different sounds. I hope your not just comparing themi because their both English bands. Ones is a beloved punk band and the other a beloved pop band... Anyways, Great song

[ericdanzig13]

what the fucks a coldplay?

[jxandre]

coldplay??

fuck you!!!!

[Thestateiscorrupted]

This is awesome! This guys were truly ahead of their time man....

[coolbean08]

i love how they play it live, so raw.

[tcalger87]

Great!

I'm 52 & this brings back memories!

Great Job!!!

[Jeem77]

The 1 dislike must have been an accident because this is one of the best songs ever.

[applescruffs71]

R.I.P. Joe Strummer!!

[BatBoy29100]

@applescruffs71 hes not dead the government wants you to think that 

[tiponin23]

coldplay........waaaahhhhhhhhh­!

[Greg2600]

shit, their live version is 1000X better than the studio!

[urmombentover]

what did he shout in british at the beginning of the vid ?

[discodisco2012]

@urmombentover It was in English, I am English, it sounded like ' Full Up, Soul Train,???' I didnt catch the last couple of words.

[peezed1]

really artsy....effin love the photography. well done

[mountainhigh88]

liken 2 Beatles

[XTCoello]

COLDPLAY IS A SHIT.......SALUDOS DE ARGENTINA

[Gasten400]

mick sings good:D

[DjJohnnyM68]

i gave up trying to classify music by genre, everyone has such a different opinion on what's punk and what's pop and whatnot? (throwing up my hands). I just recognize an anthem when i hear one..and to me, this is one..great song

[olaf1610]

who's the douche that voted down!?!?!?!?

[DBMX12]

@olaf1610 the one who didnt stay by him, obviously xD

[red33m23]

This is the only song I know talking about disappointment.. In a so happy way!

Great song!

[7PolacoBastia]

Como amo a esta cancion!!! Nunca me cansare de escucharla..

THANK YOU MICK!!!

[MrReallyHard]

This song reminds me of cover bands I was in years ago. Really always it could never be loud enough. Love that groove. I like it better with Gibson LesPauls.

[FiorolamoCuccotti]

MI CORAZON TO CLASH!

[paisleyx13]

just cuz...

[A10thunderbolt]

Mick Jones fucking rules!!!!

[Calamari5]

@A10thunderbolt so does Paul Simmonon, Topper Headon and Joe Strummer ! :D

[80842069]

Too bad...

[therank4]

@esseaindanaotinha CUT THE CRAp IS SOOOOO GOOOOOD

[seancey5]

live in union city, nj....1980. no doubt my brother was there. if he was, shame on him for not dragging me with him. if he wasn't well, than just plain shame on him

[GATisdale]

@seancey5

Glad the you posted, at least!

[yoyo3man]

THIS IS ROCK'N'ROLL!

[manedrain]

the sweetest song.

maybe too sweet for an asshole like me.

VIVA THE CLASH!!!!!!!

[ScanDeez]

How can you not love this song...?

[hakanTCM]

STFU about Coldplay! Don't mention them together with The Clash. They're filth under Mick Jones shoes

[odawg65]

the capitol was in passaic NJ. A great venue.

[johngreek23]

Wtf why should coldplay be compared to the Clash?????? There is a huge time gap between them not to mansion music style........However I love to listen to both of them in differnet situation O dont think there is a problem with that.....

[talkingwall]

@johngreek23 Yeah I was thinking "wha????"

[PunkPippo]

i love them!

[Archiebell68]

What the hell's a coldplay?

[heriticpirate6]

How did Coldplay's punk ass even come up in a convo on The Clash?

[BTARD4LIFE]

>implying that the clash are punk

[gabbagabba64]

Having Mikey Gallagher on the organ during the London Calling tour filled out the sound. I wished Mick Jones never bought that damned stereo chorus, no bite to his guitar when you listen to live Clash material between during the LC and Sandanista tours.

[morese14]

My favorite song!

[waterfordbum89]

this was live in the early 80s, i suppose?

[nobelsyed]

Awesome,awesome,what a band,what a loss. There is a great hole in rock where the clash was

[shadylurker138]

The Clash are left wing socialist

[ForteanExplorer]

The Clash (in particular Joe Strummer), were socialist, not communist. As a socialist myself, I can tell you there is a BIG difference. The Sandanistas are a socialist party as well, not communist.

[JOELchannel7]

forget coldplay...

THE CLASH, the only band that matters

[indiepercui]

how you can even think to compare them?

there's no chance at all !!!

[StinkingHombre]

No Strummer = no Clash!

[Beelzubub13]

So much better than Coldplay

[dadoq]

@Beelzubub13 who in hell compares coldplay to the clash?!?

[Trickme10]

@Beelzubub13 coldplay are performers not muscicians. how can you even compare them with a great like the clash

[CombatRocks]

@Beelzubub13 Cold who????

[UncleBen121]

@Beelzubub13 what does this have to do with coldplay... two completely different genres.

[laurana99]

@Beelzubub13 No shit .

[EvilBiasFree]

@Beelzubub13 Why would you even compare them? They're both really good, but for different reasons.

[munggipossu]

@Beelzubub13 coldplay isn't even on the same planet

[welcome2oldskol]

@Beelzubub13 i absoully love coldplay but i must admit it is

[brysko76]

@Beelzubub13 Coldplay ? It's most boring band in the world. How you dare compare them to the Clash.

[dadswizz]

play this when they put me in the box!! cheers!!

[dadswizz]

play this at my funeral

[rscricca]

You know mick jones has the same name as the lead singer of the arena rock band called foreigner. They are both great singers in great bands.

[belialjones]

paul = sexy

[GilbertSyndrome]

One of my favourite Clash tunes, thanks for posting it, r.i.p. Joe.

[GotsTricks]

Topperrr!

[39chevpickup]

joe strummer the end

can't find the words to make a comment worthy of this band

[rickybrennanjr]

Hmm , who's playing the organ ? Interesting ...

Long live the Clash, Strummer/Jones were the Lennon//McCartney of their era ...

[acerb14]

THEY NAILED IT!

[jamianm]

Is this from Passaic, NJ?

[lacko696969]

ohh, man.. i knew this was the fucking clash....mick jones has a great voice...i just did not know the name of the song.. i always thought it was , u didn't stand by me.. forgive me...great fucking song..

[ItsTouchAndGo]

hmm cept strummer sings...

[snarkywonton]

Mick Jones was a part of The Clash. Without Strummer, no Clash. Ever. Understand that,young one, or go back to your Fall Out Boy. You might understand that , Junior.

[YourMother12345678]

without mick, no clash either.

[Boneless777]

subbaaa:D

[boybehindtheracer1]

I think saying Joe Strummer is just noise, is probably the stupidest thing i've ever heard. "Mick Jones is the clash" Mick Jones said himself the way Joe Strummer wrote his lyrics "How could you not write a great tune to it". Okay Strummer isn't the greatest singer and Mick Jones is obviously an amazing talent but saying he "is The Clash" is way too far. Take either one of them out and it would never of worked, not just Mick Jones.

[enocc]

the first communist punk-band

[PartyBoy64]

anti communist you fuck.

[hank1972]

@ PartyBoy64 Communist sort of. I lived in Managua where the Sandanista's love that album even tho they don't like the music. Plus the albums catalog number is FSLN1. FSLN is the name of the Sandanista party. But Joe Strummer does criticizes Moscow and China in this album also, so i guess it would better to say that it is a pro Socialist pro leftist not Communist. Power to the people kinda thing.

[MdL054]

they werent communist

[spiffyblackcat]

They were about as communist as my cat, they had the balls to say what they did and didn't like; in a great, innovative, musical way. Hail to the greatest band ever!

[Beelzubub13]

Well they were. Why do you think the called there triple disc album Sandinista?

[bott2121]

Actually named after a group of Nicaraguan revolutionaries that were fighting during the release.

The Clash didn't even know what they were fighting for haha. So I don't know if you can consider them communist for that reason

[yorkietalkie]

This is a great live version, pretty well mixed and they all nail it!

This song is beautiful

[KeithRichards333]

i like joe strummer the most

he is moving like he is geting electrecuted

[Darkshaire]

why they all spaazzing out they havin a seizure or sumthing. Great song thouguh

[Rotateitbaby]

When you're that pumped on adrenaline and energy, it's amazing what your body does.

Fantastic Song!

Awe-inspiring Band!

[bankershilboy]

I bought the bootleg of this gig in 1980- about 9 months after the gig-almost wore it out!

[benjaminBarr]

mick jones- i remember well. the original 'rudie'. he was really something else man. everyone alwaise talking bout strummer. fuck that, thats just noise. Mick Jones WAS the clash! He was punk-freakin-rock come to life

[grrranger175]

actually mick was probably the least "punk rock" out of all of them. :P

[Redogg00]

greatest band ever!!!

[Ev1tame]

One of the best band ever!!

[jostrum50]

great clip, cheers

[Skycat2006]

Great tho lol...

Excellent post and

thanx 4 sharing!!!

;-)

[beastieribs]

nice clip :)

[Brunoods]

when was this show?

[dwarfish]

I think it was March 8, 1980 at the Capital Theatre in Union City, New Jersey. Another guy called AdamRamone1234 has this entire concert up, but clip of Train in Vain is the best quality I've seen posted.

[Warsk444]

@dwarfish umm, you mean Passaic, NJ, right?

[edrixie]

@Brunoods
