Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Safe European Home

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 Rudie Can't Fail, London Calling, White Man in Hammersmith Palais, Tommy Gun, and White Riot. I have posted those as well (go to my user profile).

Note: This video is already on youtube, but I figured I'd upload it anyway because this version doesn't have the annoying watermark that the other one does, for those who download these videos for iPod viewing or what have you.

And sometimes, all I can do is sit and take it all in, washed over with awe, and be thankful that there was a Joe Strummer.

It's so weird watching these videos of Joe singing his Clash songs 20+ years after The Clash were together, and he's still got that same, amazing voice we all recognize instantly. Even though he changed on the outside (from age, obviously), that voice, it never changes. I close my eyes and listen and it's haunting almost. I can't explain it, but that's just how I feel about it.
