I don't know why people are shitting on this. There are few people more qualified to cover The Clash than Springsteen. He's a kindred spirit, and this was a great cover. Good on you Bruce!
Geoff Chappell to be fair to Bruce. He tried and didn’t really succeed. A good attempt though. By his band Absolutely nobody is qualified to cover joe strummer’s voice. The American city’s mentioned in Springsteen’s version is dire. And I am not British. ,, but it keeps the brilliant clash fresh in the history of one of the most unique bands ever
Just stumbled upon this. A wonderful version of a classic song. As others have noted, a great deal of common ground exists between Bruce and the Clash. Good stuff.
The Clash has always been an inspirational Band. For Springsteen he has always been an admire of The Clash since their beginnings, along with Dylan and Marley. It says a lot on his part to commemorate Strummer as a respectable artist and his message concerning the common man, which Springsteen has always expressed in his music.
God Bless Joe Strummer .... The Clash the greatest band ever to step foot on the shit hole of a planet ... Also a beautiful version by the boss .. cheers Bruce
Big clash fan - saw them when I was 15, meet Joe also - happy the boss even knows the song let alone wants to play it - the lyrics still stand the test of time.
Love when Tom Morello joins him in Jam. Tom really rocked it out with Bruce on... Shoot, years adding up now. He rocks with Bruce on sum great songs. My memory failing me. I'm trying to pull the song out my head, but it's coming out, Youngstown, but it's another I was thinking of. But Tom just shredded it on this one song I can't name, but listened to 1000x easy. 🤕
@@So_gnarly all the presidents are shit and i say use the tools of power but never owe them anything and put them down when you finish what you picked them up to do.
This is a fantastic cover Bruce and Tom are perfect together for a tune like this the clash still is one of my favorite bands they were amazing and there music is and always will be relevant this a phenomenal show
haven't really had too much interaction with Bruce's music for many years, but I got to say...... this was pretty damn good!! lots of respect to him for knowing the importance of this song in rock history.
I m a massive Springsteen fan and a fan of the Clash, I would not think The Clash would be an obvious choice of styles for Bruce, but Godamn he and Morello and co have nailed one of the great Clash songs. He just gets better!!!
To paraphrase Bruce in an interview he gave: the war on poverty is a much nobler cause than the war on the war on poverty. He's a true believer and a mensch.
I’m 48. Never cared for Springsteen as a teenage punk rocker musician. At 19, in 1990, was getting more engulfed by music and appreciative of every genre, At that time I had thought to myself, Springsteen is the American version of Joe, in that they wrote story telling, sometimes cautionary or introspective songs from the working class perspective. Both honourable icons, plus Bruce should totally do a clash reunion tribute! 🤘
omg Tom Morello is totally channeling Joe Strummer @0:53 with those stage moves, seriously check out early clash performances and you'll see Joe pull that exact quick as electricity stage move (among many others). it's pure punk rock psycho passion.. it's legendary.
@@PMurray2694 Then people that wrote music with a message obviously intended it to be listened to by dorks that support the message. Why support an artist if you don't support the message?
I first saw Bruce Halloween night in Los Angeles 1980. I was 13. In 1982, I first saw The Clash at the Hollywood Palladium. Within two years of each other I was blessed to see perhaps the two best shows ive ever had the pleasure and good fortune to get to go to. Both shows I went with my older brother. I was 13, then 15. He was 18, then 20. Lol It went Butch you wanna go? Yeh but I got school and all (he was Valedictorian of his high school graduating class in 1980. Then went on to Yale Law. We were raised by our grandparents because our mother was mentally challenged. So it was uo to me, the younger brother ( think Wally and The Beaver in Leave it to Beaver). I would explain to grandpa. He'd confirm if my brother really wanted to go or was this some scheme of mine? Lol Once my brother confirmed, yes he wanted to go also,but had no time to wait in line like you had to back then. Grandpa would hand me the exact amount for the two tickets. I'd go all night and wait in line. My grandpa would get up every few hours at my grandma's insistence to check on me, a kid in line with all the teens and adults. He'd see I was not only fine, but often holding court as usually the youngest there all night. Lol I'd get the duckets and my life would be irrevocably changed. C'mon The Clash and Bruce Springsteen in a two year period. At the peak of their respective powers. Long live Rock!!
This song is non-stop adrenalized, focused, powerful, anger! Any daunting or seemingly insurmountable task you must complete...this song will be your battle cry to help push you through to the end!
Much better than the london calling cover, Bruce's voice suits these songs, i like bands that make covers their own, not covering them exactly as the original, yeah, really enjoyed it.
So good! I bet his fans were like what the fuck is this? Still the hunt continues for a good quality live version of the Clash doing this. Cheers Bruce!
I recall reading that Joe Strummer was a fan of Bruce and the e-street band, saw them around 74-75 in London and was inspired. Urban rock and roll with political angst. The Clash were Londoners, younger and thrasher but I get it.
Springsteen played Hammersmith Odeon in '74(?). Strummer and many of his contemporaries attended, and drew inspiration,. This cover is a bit 'Big Band', but that's how Springsteen rolls.
I don't know why people are shitting on this. There are few people more qualified to cover The Clash than Springsteen. He's a kindred spirit, and this was a great cover. Good on you Bruce!
They just hammered all of the subtlety out of the original (the break in the middle sung by Mick Jones). That's my complaint.

they working for the clampdown
I just came to find out about the origin of the song, and read the lyrics. Damn right it was a song needed singing.
@@lauranewberry6520 Cover Joe's voice? Nobody's qualified? Huh... I bet Joe disagrees.
Joe Strummer is smiling down from heaven!
i have goosebumps

I LOVE all these Bruce covers because it shows just how much he LOVES and respects his fellow musicians. The songs he covers are so deep and varied.

When I was 8 this was unironically my favorite song at his concert 😂
Perfection. The Clash, this song, lyrics, Bruce and Tom playing this song with such emotion!
That's it for me ! The emotion from them is amazing!!
As a musician, music lover, etc. etc. Gotta love The Boss and Morello covering one of the the pioneers of punk. The Clash!
No man born with a living soul can be working for the clampdown!
Gotta love the devotion and commitment Bruce and Tom give this song. Much respect.
God Bless Joe Strummer .... The Clash the greatest band ever to step foot on the shit hole of a planet ...
Also a beautiful version by the boss .. cheers Bruce
The only band that matters
Al second that brother 👍👊
Big clash fan - saw them when I was 15, meet Joe also - happy the boss even knows the song let alone wants to play it - the lyrics still stand the test of time.
Wow, he has good taste in music.
Very nice. Springsteen always had loads of respect for the Clash. Shows his humility and appreciation for socially charged rock.
Very nice? This is amazing and so so so pertinent to our current situation
Seems like a lot of folks in middle America are working for the clampdown
@@BarklyMitford satisfy my curiosity and define middle America

Springsteen and Tom morello, what a fucking tag team, covering such a great and powerful song
Two of my favorites. Bruce and The Clash
This is a fantastic cover Bruce and Tom are perfect together for a tune like this the clash still is one of my favorite bands they were amazing and there music is and always will be relevant this a phenomenal show

He is the only one that can do Joe's song justice.
this must be a dream come true for morello. hell, for any of us, it would be
I was there, such an AWESOME song to open the show with. The place went nuts. Tom Morello was on FIRE!!!!!
I m a massive Springsteen fan and a fan of the Clash, I would not think The Clash would be an obvious choice of styles for Bruce, but Godamn he and Morello and co have nailed one of the great Clash songs. He just gets better!!!
this is awesome.. great vibe. Tom was great in the E Street Band
I WAS HERE!! Best 23rd Birthday Gift Ever until my dad surprised me with his concert in Philly 2 years later for my 25th.
This is awesome. I love almost everything Springsteen does with Tom Morello featured. And, dare I say? ...The Boss looks GOOOOOOD!
My favorite Clash song from my all time favorite album. Im glad he covered it for more people to hear.
To paraphrase Bruce in an interview he gave: the war on poverty is a much nobler cause than the war on the war on poverty. He's a true believer and a mensch.
Moronic and childish virtue signalling…Hollywood, house on the hill scum….
Thank you Bruce and Tom for keeping the spirit of The Clash alive. May they always find an audience.
Atta boy Bruce! Covering the Clash!
Fantastic!
Was never s huge Springsteen fan, but he does awesome covers. A really wide range of covers too. Good stuff.
Man, I don't know what the hell you guys are complaining about. I thought it was pretty damn good! They just do these covers to have fun.
I’m 48.
Never cared for Springsteen as a teenage punk rocker musician.

Think Joe Strummer would have approved, Bruce has the same passion and intensity, love it 👍
Ottimo duetto... Grandi
My ears wish they had never heard this version. Bruce and his millions are working for the clampdown.
Exactly, couldn't have better said it myself
Coisa linda Bruce Springsteen Cantando The Clash!!
The boss have my respect no matter what others say,Joe loved Bruce!!
これ、最高すぎる。
ジョーへのリスペクトが溢れてる。
毎回見るたびに涙が出る。
Think the "world" of Bruce- he was part of my friends passing...So caring&inspiring.. Letter to you was part of her ceremony. ..Lovely tribute...
Dude still packs a hell of a punch!

Bruce un pur rock n'Roll, merci pour les clash
I'm no Springsteen fan, but I do like The Clash, and he did good on this one!
If you like the Clash and what they say, difficult to understand why you don't like the Boss, who often sings a similar message?
@@PMurray2694
Then people that wrote music with a message obviously intended it to be listened to by dorks that support the message.
Why support an artist if you don't support the message?
Springsteen does The Clash....marvellous!
God bless you for sharing ❤😊
I really didn't know that Bruce was a big Clash fan. Good version. Good attitude. Joe would be happy.
Today Bruce wished Joe Strummer a Happy Birthday. From one rocker to another.

Thanks, whoever posted this. It's the clearest video version I've seen. Such a great cover. Such a great song.
Just come across this great effort from a clash fan
Man, Bruce plays with heart. It's a bit slick for the Clash, but Joe would still be proud.
👍 That made me want to buy Springsteen concert tickets! 🇺🇸
It’s like Joe saw what was coming - big respect to his song writing talent being shown by Bruce doing this cover.
Brilliant performance, love the old songs.
It is not an old song until there is no more clampdown -- and this is coming from a retired Army officer!
Che bello il rock di Bruce!! E Tom !!! 😅😅😅😍😘💖💘💞💯
THE BOSS BIG CLASH FAN
激熱❗️🙌🙌🙌
Love these guys together can't get no better!
This is the kind of energy Joe Strummer would be performing this had he lived to be Bruce's age! Brilliant!
This has to be the coolest Opener since My Love / I Wanna Be With You in ‘99
I was there! ❤
espectacular!
Molto ma molto ROCK." Mi piace Assai"🎸🎸🎸
Tom once said that there is only one band that matters, and that is The Clash.
Impressionanti!!!Tom e bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!😍😍😍😘😘😘🎸🎸🎷😅😅😀😀🌟🌞🎶💎💯
Always thought Joe liked Bruce and I think Bruce liked the clash,this is great.
Much better than the london calling cover, Bruce's voice suits these songs, i like bands that make covers their own, not covering them exactly as the original, yeah, really enjoyed it.
That was incredible
brilliant
OMFG JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH BRUCE!!!
Great great cover. Real power
Great cover!
Bruce loves the Clash and now I like him even more
Meu Deus, que REPRESENTATIVIDADE! Tom Morello? Bruce Springsteen... ?!! 😳🙌

Love you Bruce!!!!!!
Great cover, I saw the Clash 12 times, I should know.
Awesome!
LOL I did not expect Tom Morello
This is awesome
So good! I bet his fans were like what the fuck is this? Still the hunt continues for a good quality live version of the Clash doing this. Cheers Bruce!

Fantástica!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't realise The Boss did this song. Passionate, angry and demanding social justice. Brilliant.
This is awesome
how does Springsteen strum so hard like that? I'd break all my strings haha! Happy Boss Day Oct 16th! BOSS!
