07. Joe Strummer - White Man In Hammersmith Palais

(Tymon Dogg's fiddle solo here is pretty awesome.)

Live At The Bridgewater Palace Theatre, November 17th, 2002. The band would go on to play four more shows before Strummer's death a month later.

This concert is notable for the airing of several infrequently played songs: Coma Girl, Get Down Moses, 1969 (an Iggy & The Stooges cover), and a somewhat retooled Police & Thieves.

Also, there's nothing I can do about the compression problems with the video. Compression artifacts are inherent to the source, as is the mild high-end audio distortion.


Set List:
-Shaktar Donetsk,
-Bhindi Bhagee,
-Rudie Can't Fail,
-Bummed Out City,
-Yalla Yalla,
-Mega Bottle Ride,
-White Man In Hammersmith Palais,

One of the best Rock n Roll songs of all time. By arguably the greatest Rock band. Once a generation comes something like this. My god..i count myself so so lucky to have been onboard the rollercoaster ride that was the Clash....17 times i saw them live...from 78 to the last rites in 84. As someone once wrote...."if you dont like the Clash....you dont know anything"

Just last week I realized The Clash were now my favourite band of all time, knocking The Beatles from that place...The Clash just meant so much more...about everything.

The Clash were such an amazing band, if only Joe hadnt binned Topper and Mick, maybe they could beat those lame ass Beatles.
