I'd say the studio version is better UNTIL the final minute. As much as I love the studio version, there isn't a single moment in it as powerful as the portion from 1:50 to 2:51
I used to have "From Here to Eternity Live" when I was younger...actually I had the original Sandinista in 3 LPs...I remember when I found it in the attic, amongst tons of other old LPs of my uncle's.
First song I've ever heared from The Clash was the first one of the first LP: "Magnificent seven". I was 16, now I'm 30 and I've never stopped to listen to them and to sing along their songs. It was my teenage soundtrack.
Never lived the "Clash" era, but I remember I was sad when Strummer died
This is such a good fuckin' song, I swear I feel my heart raise a fist to air every time I hear that opening riff. This whole album is absolutely amazing.
Joe, it's a much colder and dead fucking rock down here without you.
"The clothes We wear are Danger Gear. They'll get you picked on anywhere! Don't You know where to cop, Just like NY Johnny said. *(Thunders) You should know your Town,
Just like I know Mine!" "THE GREATEST" Clash Lyrics EVER! (Just ask RAY!) The Clash were the Greatest! EVER-
Yeah, I liked the horns, they add a kind of ska sound to it, which is something I liked. But the great thing about the Clash is that their live versions sound different from their studio versions. In these days of iPods and MP3 players, I have many Clash tunes in both their live and studio versions. I was blown away by "Magnificent Seven" in live version, they pick up the tempo so much, it was amazing! Of course, the Clash were always amazing.
The live version is def better- the sounds of impro makes it more melodic and unpredicatble...which is what punk is all about!

I love this live version because the horn line was magnificentlly translated to guitar by Mick so well. It took on a very different personality.
