I was quite young when joe died around 7 maybe but i still remembering hearing my mom telling my brother he died... I listened to the clash but i didn know who they were or who he wa just knew it was something really important still remember the exact place where i was standing... I had a big knot in my stomach and I didnt know why at the time ... I know now... Thank You immortal Joe Strummer for ever alive through your music... good night

The only band that matters!

@donlfc Actually the Clash split in '83 and this gig was just weeks before Joe died in 2002. If you watch "the last night London Burned" clips you'll see that Mick first came on stage during Bankrobber..." Hold my coat, I'm going up!!" and also did White riot before London's burning...Still awesome though...so wish I'd been there!!

@Quickstoptim I've wondered if The Clash have ever considered doing some gigs with Ian Hunter (one of Joe's heroes) on the vocal and rhythm guitar parts. I was a jazz snob (still love jazz) when the Clash were breaking out and I was an American living in England at the time. I remember The Clash,UK Subs, Buzzcocks,The Skids,Public Image on the telly. I remember thinking OMG what is happening to music at the time. Ha ha. The Clash were brilliant! I missed out, I didn't "get it" at the time.

wow. that's all i have to say.
it would have been an honor to be apart of that crowd. I was nine at the time. its a shame. RIP Joe!

unreal!
This band's story is heart breaking. Whenever Mick talks about The Clash he consistently expresses regret, apologizing for acting arrogant and stupid. If you look at what has happened to U2, and this summer's Police reunion it quickly becomes apparent that, had they stayed together, The Clash would be HUGE right now. But now Joey's gone.

This clip shows joe strummer palying with his new band The Mescaleros, however in the audience is his old friend and fellow guitarist Mick Jones. The Mescaleros go to play the clash song Londons burning, as they play the first note mick jones steps on stage and plays the song with Joe. This is the first time the two have played together in over 15 years!
