The Clash - Hate and War (Alright Now - 1979)

Rare live TV performance of The Clash on Alright Now, as shown on the programme The Tube. Their best line up as far as I'm concerned. For best results click on 'watch in high quality'. Influencing U2 and the Manics image, to name a couple.

NB. Unfortunately for some strange reason the sound on all my clips has gone very quiet.

why don't they show bands that stand for something on tv anymore?

[inshreds66]

@guitargczr699 because it's a bit like 1975 all over again but this time the public would simply complain to offcom or whoever it is, if they weren't entertained enough.

This is amazing. Its before London Calling came out (Paul is using the bass he would smash on the cover). Its Right after Mick got his black les paul, this may even be one of the first times Mick used this guitar on stage. And its literally months before Joe got his white esquire. Wow, incredible.

@PBANDSNOW good guitar observations, especially about the bass. I hadn't realised. thanks for pointing it out.

[PBANDSNOW]

@inshreds66 Im nuts about guitars. And, just to avoid confusion, what I meant with the black les paul thing, is that Mick got the white one a few months after he got the black one
