Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - White Riot

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros, live at the Roseland Ballroom in New York, in 1999.

Amazingly badass performance. Must see.

Sorry for the poor video quality - this video predates the broadband era so it inherently looks like garbage. Of course, I encoded the audio at 160kbps and used the AVC codec, so the file conversion is as good as it gets. If anybody has an upgrade, I'll encode it.

This concert also includes filmed performances of Safe European Home, London Calling, White Man in Hammersmith Palais, Tommy Gun, and Rudie Can't Fail. I have posted those as well (go to my user profile).

I saw them at the TLA in Phily on this tour & when he played this I had tears in my eyes & I'm not ashamed to admit it. I also got misty eyed years later when I saw Mick Jones (in Carbon/Siliscon) do Police on My Back.

No place for whores in the middle of wars but best to keep an overwatch when running street law hardcores.

Joe never left anything on the table. He doubled down on every song he sung.

[jimjimtrains]
