23. Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Blitzkrieg Bop.

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros -- Live At The Brixton Academy, 2001.

One of the most polished shows the second (and best) Mescaleros lineup would give. Everybody has the Global A Go-Go material down pat and it shows: Tymon Dogg ravages his fiddle on Bummed Out City, Joe is all over the stage during Global A Go-Go, and the entire band is energetic all night.

Highlights include Minstrel Boy, Mondo Bongo and Blitzkrieg Bop, largely because I don't think I've ever seen those performed on video prior to this recording, but the whole show is pretty terrific. A lot more focused and musically diverse than the '99 gigs.

Setlist:
01. Minstrel Boy
02. Junco Partner
03. Cool 'n' Out
04. Global A Go-Go
05. Rudie Can't Fail
06. Bhindi Bhagee
07. Armagideon Time
08. Shaktar Donetsk
09. Police & Thieves
10. Mega Bottle Ride
11. Tony Adams
12. Mondo Bongo
13. Johnny Appleseed
14. Bummed Out City
15. Police On My Back
16. The Harder They Come
17. Pressure Drop
18. I Fought The Law
19. Bankrobber
20. Yalla Yalla
21. Rudy, A Message To You
22. London's Burning
23. Blitzkrieg Bop.

Enjoy!
