Who gives a shit if they,in your opinion were not ready to re-form? At what point did punk become polished and clean. Take this performance for what it is.. Two musical brothers coming together after a long hiatus and putting together a magical performance regardless of how perfect they were. Punk is about passion, rebellion, politics etc,Not perfection! I just think we should all feel lucky to see these two onstage one more time before Joe passed. J.S R.I.P

Joe and Joey are punking out in heaven, I'm so sure of this. If they aren't, I'm not going.

what are you talking about , the idiots on here seriously!!

The Clash were offered millions to refordm and they turned it all down , Mick and Joe are playing together in support of firemen who went on strike. at least they reformed for something good and not for money.

@bradipovsky Pat is rich enough...don't give him any more money by buying his poxy book. U right...Simonon was not into it...god knows why...he said The Clash happened and was good when it did but no more. Strummer was on his fax machine trying to convince HIM/ the Clash should come back...I think he was walking his dog when a Mi6 agent shot a mini-poisoned-arrow to the back of his neck.

great video brings back awesome memories. Saw the very last show the clash ever performed at the santa monica civic in 1984 with Los Lobos and malcolms break dancers.The Clash always has been and always will be the most important band ever.

Great video - brings back many happy memories of being there an pogoing with the entire London Fire Brigade. Glad nothing caught fire that night.

dude, i just noticed, jones and pete townshend both aged the same way... maybe its a british thing ;)

but seriously, the mass of people chanting in the background makes this song BETTER!!

thanks so much for posting this. Brought a tear to me dear old eyes, it did!

I last saw Joe perform in 2001, about 12 months before he popped his clogs. He didn't do this, unfortunately, but he did do a good version of Blitzkrieg Bop, in memory of Joey!
