he went from no one being able to understand a word he sang in the early days to the audience drowning him out and singing all of his lines word perfect here...spine tingling
Haha... Its my favourite Clash song and wanted to know if he could sing it well live.... I'll have to look elsewhere 😂.... The crowd were brilliant though 👍
Every time I see this, I get overcome by two emotions.. Sheer joy in seeing Strummer so happy towards the end of his life... and sadness because he's gone. What a soul!
Charisma ingrained into every ounce of his body and soul. If ever a man fulfilled his destiny, it was Joe Strummer. Born to be a leader, born to perform, and born to change peoples lives. He and The Clash certainly changed mine, and I'm in my fifties now but the passion is as strong as ever. I cried like a baby when I heard about Joe's death, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I agree with everything y.ou say. I cried when he died just as if he was a member of my own family....I felt it so much. He is a true genius and was a massive part of my life for over 50 years.
My favourite performance of my favourite Clash song - all those folks singing along sending me shivers every time, and Joe's doing a fine job as always. Must have been one of his last concerts though.
Can't begin to explain how jealous I am of my mum - she went to one of Joe's last concerts and was stood right opposite him. He even said to her 'it might get a bit rough down there'. What an honour it must have been to watch this man perform. 🎶
The crowd is absolutely, positively, super-psyched to be there in the presence of the greatest punk rock musician & man who ever lived!!! WOW! So f'n incredible! Bravo!!!
A force of nature at work. More than 20 years after he wrote the song, it still rouses and inspires that audience, almost like disciples recalling a sacred hymm. What a song. What a man. We wont see his like again for many a long day.
I really wish joe was still here today, miss him so much a true legend, Iggy may have created punk but nobody ever did it the way the clash and joe strummer did it,
When Joe Strummer tells you to sing, you sing your heart out which is what this audience did! can tell it made Joe happy by his faint smile at the beginning 😊
The 4 dislikes are probably people thinking, 'the crowd is singing TOO loud. I can't hear it like the recording'. What I wouldn't give to be in a theater singing along with Joe now. Sing your hearts out crowd.
My hero.. meant so much to me growing up. Had the pleasure of meeting Joe as he walked down the street in Worcester MA. Could not have been nicer. The greatest to me. What passion n energy he always had
Just Brilliant joe an the crowd never miss a beat you can feel the love gave me goosebumps RIP joe you gave me the sound track of my youth thanks mate .
I saw him live and he just left my mates and I speachles. Mouthy teenagers walked sweat dripped into the icy night to the bus stop Quiet and never the same again. R.I.P Joe flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.
I miss Joe so bad, as well as the Clash....I met him here in SF w/ the Mescaleros in the late 90's...awesome gent. Their music and voices will carry on, spreading the truth....
20 dislikes - from the producers of Burton suits. The second half of the song was my personal moment of liberation, waaay back. Eternal respect to Joe.
Joe Srummer reminds me of bad times,when I had scabies,living in a shed,were I had to force open the door with my 11 stone frame to his the world with fuzz on my face,going crazy for a wash,and wishing my cloathes were clean.Never happened I have a house of my own now,with a dog that is my best friend. I'll never forget that song,and their music previously. The Clash were fantastic,and in a strange way yeknow,if I was not homeless,i wouldn't have cared less..Joe Strummer=Boss man
Ya got blood on the streets, ha, ya think it's funny....Turnin rebellion into money......One of the greatest lines ever written...Peace to you Joe Strummer
have to absolutely agree with Ben Phillips with this version and no surprise it was Joe!! and the clash all the way!! and did great homage to this great clash goodie!! RIP JOE TEARS WELL FROM MY EYES they all turn rebellion into money any the gist of what you meant was , was it really rebellion? nope just money!!
Happy to say I saw the Clash 6 times in Cleveland or Akron. The first show handed out Clash iron ones promoting WMMS. God, I wore that shirt all the time. RIP Joe!
Without question the best thing out of the 70s. Hope you're raising hell up there, Joe! "The new groups are not concerned with what there is to be learned. They got Burton suits and think it's funny turning rebellion into money." Today they just talk about breakups and money.
Played this at my daughter's funeral, she was 19 years old, she took her life. We used to sing this in the car, I miss her so much.
I am so sorry. Keep your daughter's soul and memories alive . She is with you.
We are all in this madness together.
Sending love to you from Austria!
I'm so sorry it's heartbreaking
Blessings
I'm 53 years old and there are very few things left in the world that are sure to choke me up. This video is one of them. Every. Damn. Time.
The world would be a far better place if we could have him back.
im gonna cry watching this. It's too good to even comprehend.
@@ashleydonnelly3681 you're a dickhead
His favorite song being sung by a whole crowd if true fans..... Unfathomable
still love it!
YYYAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
@ 10 year old post, dang I’m old xD
Who ever you are listening to this I love you.
he went from no one being able to understand a word he sang in the early days to the audience drowning him out and singing all of his lines word perfect here...spine tingling
There was an interview where they asked Joe why he didn't pronounce the words better. He said that would take "all the piss outta them".
SOULJAH ROCKER
Even singing the backup vocals! It moves me so much.
Haha... Its my favourite Clash song and wanted to know if he could sing it well live.... I'll have to look elsewhere 😂.... The crowd were brilliant though 👍
Fuckin' A
Every time I see this, I get overcome by two emotions.. Sheer joy in seeing Strummer so happy towards the end of his life... and sadness because he's gone. What a soul!
Same
He'll be back . The 🌎 desperately needs Old Souls , more than Ever
If Adolf Hitler were to run today... The Americans would re-elect him.
This world could use Joe's wisdom again.
Charisma ingrained into every ounce of his body and soul. If ever a man fulfilled his destiny, it was Joe Strummer. Born to be a leader, born to perform, and born to change peoples lives.
He and The Clash certainly changed mine, and I'm in my fifties now but the passion is as strong as ever. I cried like a baby when I heard about Joe's death, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
and yes sad shame that he did not live long enough to do so !!
he surely would have
viva la Joe Strummer viva la clash
He was pure integrity
I agree with everything y.ou say. I cried when he died just as if he was a member of my own family....I felt it so much. He is a true genius and was a massive part of my life for over 50 years.
I totally agree with you!
When he died, I was too young to realize it, but I'm sure I would have cried as well.
Right with ya, Me Too
2:38 The guy singing Mick’s line, “ahhhhohhhh” it’s just perfect 👌🏼
Jake Andrews I was reading your comment at that exact moment of the video too... 🤯
Haha ikr!
Me too
I don't know why, but i find that comment hilarious
@@SombraPilotoweird that exact moment here too.
Hearing the audience sing so loud really warms my heart! I wish I was in that crowd that day.
His greatest song...and to this day, one of the best toons ever written. Goosebumps.
Joe cracking a faint smile has the crowd joins in at the beginning!1
Joe strummer really was The greatest! The king of punk rock!!
John Smith “punk rock warlord” but also the king
The warlord of punk
I can't get enough of this, great rendition! A former "punk" song turns into a great sing along! We miss you Joe!
First time I hear this version. Makes me cry the sound of the people, just a great song.
My favourite performance of my favourite Clash song - all those folks singing along sending me shivers every time, and Joe's doing a fine job as always. Must have been one of his last concerts though.
Can't begin to explain how jealous I am of my mum - she went to one of Joe's last concerts and was stood right opposite him. He even said to her 'it might get a bit rough down there'. What an honour it must have been to watch this man perform. 🎶
It gets to my heart that you can barely hear Strummer cos the crowd is singing along
i have tears in my eyes because of how amazing this energy there must have been !
Great video. My favourite song..
Clash all the way. Punk 4eva.👍
been a fan of Joe since mid 1977 i miss him everyday
first time ive seen this - and was up the front that night. made me cry....
one of the best audience sing alongs I've heard. Joe defines cool
Died doing what he lived and loved, rip musical genius Joe Strummer
The crowd is absolutely, positively, super-psyched to be there in the presence of the greatest punk rock musician & man who ever lived!!! WOW! So f'n incredible! Bravo!!!
I LOVE this audience!
It would annoy me if I was there. I paid to hear the singer perform, not the crowd.
sprdvx he requested they sing
Trainy I bet your a barrel of laughs
The moment at 1:15 when he realizes everyone singing along is heart-braking. God damn I miss him.
I love that the crowd is singing the backup vocals, too.
A force of nature at work.
More than 20 years after he wrote the song, it still rouses and inspires that audience, almost like disciples recalling a sacred hymm.
What a song.
What a man.
We wont see his like again for many a long day.
So beautiful. And at the same time it makes you want to cry.
Damn. What a great crowd. I feel like I'm there. (literally crying right now..)
I'm not crying...You're crying. RIP to Joe Strummer. He was the real deal!
I really wish joe was still here today, miss him so much a true legend, Iggy may have created punk but nobody ever did it the way the clash and joe strummer did it,
Rangers died
@@Duck.1980 ;)
Happy Birthday Joe wherever you are, you Legend!
This just may be the best tribute to Joe's impact & legacy that I've seen on RUclips...
This song and this version of it is all what’s good in life. Simply beautiful.
When Joe Strummer tells you to sing, you sing your heart out which is what this audience did! can tell it made Joe happy by his faint smile at the beginning 😊
Hard to put into words quite what this is. More passion and heart than most of today's musicians added together. The best!
The 4 dislikes are probably people thinking, 'the crowd is singing TOO loud. I can't hear it like the recording'. What I wouldn't give to be in a theater singing along with Joe now. Sing your hearts out crowd.
It must be Green Day fans lol
One of the greatest things on RUclips. Pure punk joy.
One of the best songs ever..... RIP JS.
goosebumps from the beginning till the end...rock in peace Joe!
Few if any current artists would be shown this kind of love...
Joe Strummer: Gone waaay too soon.
Bob is number 1 Joe is close 2nd. EVER!!!
Tommy Fomine Bob who?
@@JakeAndrews7 bob Marley

Superb..Thanks for existing Joe.
I love Joe Strummer so much I really wish he was still here today.

Amazing, you can tell at 1:20 the crowds singing is taking him aback slightly & he cant hear himself. You were awesome till your last day Joe
I saw him live and he just left my mates and I speachles. Mouthy teenagers walked sweat dripped into the icy night to the bus stop
Quiet and never the same again.
R.I.P Joe flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.
Well said, Martin.

I miss Joe so bad, as well as the Clash....I met him here in SF w/ the Mescaleros in the late 90's...awesome gent.
Their music and voices will carry on, spreading the truth....
Longshot but do ya know the guy who had the guitar outside after Nov SF gig... can't remember his name???
A couple of months before his passing. Such a legacy and what a way to go.
Excellent, words still stir something inside me today against the machine!
My favorite gig ever, didnt even attend it :p
damn the crowd never missed a note....awesome :)
And to think I thought it was hard to hear John Prine over his crown when we played together. This is so epic. Miss Joe! R.I.P.
Excellent. I miss Joe StrummerPeace
2019, soon be Christmas!Still listening!!
20 dislikes - from the producers of Burton suits. The second half of the song was my personal moment of liberation, waaay back. Eternal respect to Joe.
A true legend I have a tattoo of Joe strummer on my arm.
Very sorry to read this, at least she had cool parents. One of the greatest songs of all time RIP x
Thank you for posting
This is glorious.
Firsty punk band I ever saw at Brighton top rank in 1978. Never saw a better gig to this day. Much missed, but I'm glad they never reformed.
This is brilliant. Best song ever and a fantastic crowd. Joe may begone, but the music will be forever.
Wish you were here Joe, but happy you are out there enjoying the universe!
Fykn luv this ❤️
Joe We still hear you!! See you soon...
Goosebumps when the lyrics started
Immeasurably brilliant. Pure love.
Joe Srummer reminds me of bad times,when I had scabies,living in a shed,were I had to force open the door with my 11 stone frame to his the world with fuzz on my face,going crazy for a wash,and wishing my cloathes were clean.Never happened I have a house of my own now,with a dog that is my best friend. I'll never forget that song,and their music previously. The Clash were fantastic,and in a strange way yeknow,if I was not homeless,i wouldn't have cared less..Joe Strummer=Boss man
don't believe i didn't see this band live, if only i could turn back time. RIP Joe
Absolutely fantastic. What an atmosphere!
ha, you think it's funny, turning rebellion into money. Even more true today than it was back when this was written.
This is just the best thing I've ever seen. Rest in peace Joe.
thank you so much for this video really brought it back to me what the world has lost!
Peace
Happy Birthday, Joe. We Love You And May Your Music Go On To Inspire Generations
Ya got blood on the streets, ha, ya think it's funny....Turnin rebellion into money......One of the greatest lines ever written...Peace to you Joe Strummer
have to absolutely agree with Ben Phillips with this version and no surprise it was Joe!! and the clash all the way!! and did great homage to this great clash goodie!! RIP JOE TEARS WELL FROM MY EYES
they all turn rebellion into money any the gist of what you meant was , was it really rebellion? nope just money!!
A wonderful performance. Joe rediscovered himself with the Mescalero's, some of his best performances come post Clash
Happy to say I saw the Clash 6 times in Cleveland or Akron. The first show handed out Clash iron ones promoting WMMS. God, I wore that shirt all the time. RIP Joe!
Fantastic!!
Oh man, there are no words.
Grandissimi ❤❤❤
Beautiful! :) I miss you Joe.............
Without question the best thing out of the 70s. Hope you're raising hell up there, Joe! "The new groups are not concerned with what there is to be learned. They got Burton suits and think it's funny turning rebellion into money." Today they just talk about breakups and money.
True rock'n'roll legend.
Love this , joe really going for it like only he could , the crowd also singing along amazing
