Amazing band, never pretending to be anything but themselves. Totally loyal to their fans and did not stray from what works. The greatness is seeded forever.
The Clash were a brilliant band but let's not forget most of us felt, of all the bands around at the time, they blatantly sold out for the dollar and stadium rock.
@@superpotiron He wrote Rock the Casbah (the music) and played bass and piano on it as well as the drums. So yes, he is the most talented musician. :-)
Nick could do it all...him and Stewart Copeland were the 2 best drummers of the "punk rock" genre. You get a drummer like Nick or Stewart in the driver's seat and there is nothing you can't achieve musically.
@@andylowe1517 Yes he was and still is. He's very animated behind the, lotsa fun to watch, and he hits hard, has rock solid timing and great chops. He's one of my faves...I like Bun E Carlos as well, he's the American Ringo.
@@thewhoman3182 Why posers? John Lydon invented punk, in my opinion But I know band such as the stooges had a lot to do with it too but the sex pistols were the first to break in the scene without being perfect musicians and putting their energy on the stage
@@thewhoman3182 'I like' the Clash - to me not one of those bands you simply like - they were a truly great band and I was lucky enough and old enough to see them 3 times - you stick with the Who rehashing their back catalogue for the millionth time...
@@lejlatiric7037 The Sex Pistols where definitely not the first Punk band but they were a part of the first official wave of punk bands. The Stooges where a big influence on the punk genre howevr they weren't a punk band they where A Garage rock band that was a heavy influence on the genre we know today. other bands influenced this and are now seen as "Proto-punk" bands associated with this term includes The Stooges, MC5, The Velvet Underground, Patti Smith etc...
0:34 That's how a PunK gig should always look like! No fucking cellphones, 3-5 PunKs on stage and a bunch of PunKs going crazy listening to that powerful PunK song like the Clampdown, how can this be so fucking strong? PunK will definitely never die, 2020 and forever!
The Clash are on frikken FIRE here! SO glad they came to scuzzy old Christchurch NZ back in '82, where I got to see them at the town hall. Such a buzz - still unequaled to this day!
I was at that concert too. It was awesome. Never forgotten the buzz. We can be grateful to RDU for organising a petition to get them to come to scuzzy old ChCh, as originally we weren't even on their radar.
Christchurch is not scuzzy.(never been there,) Loved someone from there a lot Pull your pants up and get on with it. Why would they stop and play there, if there wasn’t an audience They are unequal to others Much love to a clash fan in the southern hem. x
@@joegibel9944 nobody asked you to listen. Personally I wouldn't listen to something I didn't like n feel someone was lecturing... or listen to them ever again. For seemingly communist lecturers they fckn loved alot about America. Just knew their governments are war mongering pricks. Don't need to be a communist to know that.
One of those few times I can say 'I was there'. Great gig, brilliant band. Lewisham Odeon, biggest and best auditorium South of the River, and they pulled it down...
Growing up in New Zealand and lovin* the clash I can still remember this footage being shown on a late night music show called radio with pictures , I was 17 at the time , London calling hadn’t been out that long , it was a special time in music history, it’s funny how some things stay strong in your memory .
Brilliant song from a great band from way back when music was original and unique! Love The Clash! Saw them several times, including that R.A.R. GIG! ICONIC.
@@brianjones6613 ain’t seen the Beatles would love to. We did McCartney at Birmingham in 2015. He rocked. Unlike Dillon in Liverpool who lived up to his reputation of being fickle.
Lewisham and The Clash two things that became part of my life forever. Bank robber video also shot here, where new old bill shop is across road. Make you're heart bleed.Sadly missed Joe. Working Class been sold out at such a rate you wouldnt believe the half of strokes being pulled. saw Clash three times met Mick. Within feet of Joe. Best band in world never be another Clash.
+Alastair Thomson Seen the best band in the world five times.....first time on London Calling tour in Leeds in 1980.....the most explosive band EVER......also invited into dressing room by Joe and smoked a good portion of his weed.............what a fucking band...what a fucking man.....
Just 283,000 views at the time of writing. It should really be 283 million. This is it everyone, peak live performance. Nothing gets better than this. This actually makes me cry
Between 76 and 85 l went on tour with these Amazing guys practically non stop, saw them in the region of 150- 160 times, lm paying for it now with severe arthritis in my knees lol all that pogoing!!!
My brother turned me on to the Sex PISTOLS, The Dammed,the Romones,and alot more great Punk bands,and still to this day listen to punk music on daily basis..God bless my brother's soul,, he passed away on June 22,2022
The greatest band ever. I am so pissed I was not around to see this fantastic group live. 'The real deal'. Too many damn phonies today. I now see a lot of people dressing punk, a lot of talk but little to back it up. ❤️
My Dad saw The Clash when he was young. Said him and his buddies tried to risk smoking a jay real quick in the lot between songs. Back then, sound regulations were pretty much non-existent. Halfway through their joint The Clash fired up with this and he said his buddy went to say 'Oh Shit!' but all he saw was his lips moving, The Clash were absolutely deafening, even from the parking lot. And my Dad played them at no other volume when i was growing up.

I was at this gig. At the front too.
It was February 1980.
Lewisham odeon is gone and is a car park now.
I still got the ticket stub.
How lucky you are ghee!!
Lucky bugger. I did the Rainbow, may 77, but lost my ticket stub.
Would you sell the ticket stub?
David Bolger they really did pave paradise and put up a parking lot :(
Cool
Story Tony... how lucky 🍀 👏🏼❤️
I read a quote once: "the Clash had 3 front men. Most bands struggle to have one.' Best band ever.
Blatantly leaving topper out
@@jciwallcrawler3673 And Beastie Boys
What about the beatles, beegees, who, beach boys, loads.
@@GM-bq6zo loads indeed. It’s still a nice quote. But yeah The Beatles instantly came to mind. lol.
I love em but that is bullshit
So lucky to have seen The Clash live. Sorely missed, best band ever.
RIP Joe.
🥲
I saw them too Ipswich 1980 . AMAZING .
Lucky bastard. 😊❤️
Amazing band, never pretending to be anything but themselves. Totally loyal to their fans and did not stray from what works. The greatness is seeded forever.
Dunno about that. I've listened to Cut the Crap.
make your worlds my own,From here to eternity, ladies and gents The Clash!!
Chris Carr cut the crap had good songs in my opinion but the production by Bernie Rhodes was terrible......
The Clash were a brilliant band but let's not forget most of us felt, of all the bands around at the time, they blatantly sold out for the dollar and stadium rock.
@@Bigyawner Cut the crap was the first Clash album I bought... thank god it wasn't the only one.
These guys were electrifying and had more energy that any band around today.
Topper Headon - sensational.
Agreed, the engine that drove the finest band ever
Probably the best musician in the band.
He is fucking fabulous.
@@superpotiron He wrote Rock the Casbah (the music) and played bass and piano on it as well as the drums. So yes, he is the most talented musician. :-)
Three front men, and the best drummer to give them back cover. What a legacy.
Nick could do it all...him and Stewart Copeland were the 2 best drummers of the "punk rock" genre. You get a drummer like Nick or Stewart in the driver's seat and there is nothing you can't achieve musically.
@@jamesschaidt1096Clem Burke was dynamite too 👍

This is one of those defining moments in a person's life. You're never the same after you watch this. I know I have never been.
Would you have it any other way? Saw them in '78, and yeah, takes one to know one.
100% true
Should have seen them at the time
True words!
Coolest band in the world.
Absolutely, they were the epitome of punk rock along the sex pistols
@@lejlatiric7037 epitomy of punk rock posers. I like the clash but they were just cashing in on the latest trends.
@@thewhoman3182 Why posers?
John Lydon invented punk, in my opinion

Never compromised. EVER.
Topper's class on the drums is amazing...!!!
Good music never dies. The Only Band That Matters
Them and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band....
Topper's solo was awesome!
No man born with a living soul can working for the clampdown !
God bless you the clash, I never forget.
roll the tanks. Cue the airforce. Roll the army and the navy... 'n give us a count in.
"I ain't working, I'm not"

Loved someone from there a lot
Pull your pants up and get on with it.
Why would they stop and play there, if there wasn’t an audience
They are unequal to others
Much love to a clash fan in the southern hem. x
Topper Headon!!!
How we could do with a kick ass firebrand like Joe Strummer in times like these
Last thing we need is more communist lecture

I was at this gig and it was AMAZING. One of the best gigs I have ever seen
I was nine or ten when I first heard this, I'm now fifty and still love this track and The Clash. Greatest band ever!
Topper unbeleivble...without any mistake...impressive
Total master of his craft.
Topper is such a talented drummer... just love the engine room...
The Clash and The Specials live back then were totaly fantastic performers .
The Clash only seem greater with time.
I agree. I also love how they evolved. Bringing in the reggae, dub and funk influences but always delivering it in their own way.
That's cos modern music is shit
The best part from the song is from 0:00 to 4:32
The worlds greatest band performing one of their greatest songs whilst at their peak, what a time to be alive!
Everything here is what is missing today, power, passion and brilliance!!!!
This is how every live performace should look like.. Thanks a lot, from Czech Republic with love
this band changed my life in 76 respect :)
And you stay alive??
Fantastic live band! Topper on the money as he always was!
One of those few times I can say 'I was there'. Great gig, brilliant band. Lewisham Odeon, biggest and best auditorium South of the River, and they pulled it down...

My fav from those guys. Watching this live is a treat, thanks!
What a fucking band!
Brilliant song from a great band from way back when music was original and unique! Love The Clash! Saw them several times, including that R.A.R. GIG! ICONIC.
Ultimate rock and roll moment 2:11 - 2:15
Completely Agree!!!
totally - Mick had all the shapes & moves.... what a band
Camilo Falco c super
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!
Ultimate rock n roll moment 0.00 - 4.32
What are we gonna do now without the fantastic clash and the late legend joe strummer ,love this band forever
Laura Newberry get yerself to strummercamp 😎
If you don't tap your feet while listening to this, you're most likely dead.
HAHAHA.. Im just doing
My favourite live performance. By anyone. Ever.
What a band.
Best band I ever saw. Manchester Apollo 1978.
That's the best one two three four I ever saw
Probably my favourite Clash song. Damn I miss those days, when music mattered.
eye no wot u mean.!!
Saw the Clash in 1981 during the Impossible Mission tour. Best gig of my life
amo a esta pinche banda gracias por la inspiracion carajo!!!!
I’ve regretted for 42 years not seeing them live. RIP Joe.
Same here iv seen all my favourite bands.....but I'd sell my soul to have seen THE CLASH and THE BEATLES in concert 🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@brianjones6613 ain’t seen the Beatles would love to. We did McCartney at Birmingham in 2015. He rocked. Unlike Dillon in Liverpool who lived up to his reputation of being fickle.
They were without any doubt the best punk band and looked very sympathetic. I still love them and there music is more actual then ever
I love this man
I was at this gig. Still got the ticket stub. I'm in the front row.
Lewisham Odeon is a car park now.
What a band! Incredibly talented & ballzy.
This was the first time I saw them, it was special.
Joe's 'Lemme take you to the engine room' before Topper's drum solo 😍

Topper's doing it.. what a fuckin star
One of the great songs!!
Joeee 😍
A good friend of mine took his life 2 years ago, he was the splitting image of Joe Strummer, just a taller version. Jurie I miss you brother
That's really sad . Take care mate
see the best band live three times in Scotland.
+Alastair Thomson Seen the best band in the world five times.....first time on London Calling tour in Leeds in 1980.....the most explosive band EVER......also invited into dressing room by Joe and smoked a good portion of his weed.............what a fucking band...what a fucking man.....
It always amazes me the power Topper generates considering what a petite man he is!
Adoro éste p××× grupo!!!!
I was there Feb 1980.
still speechless when I see these guys on stage...
Eres espectacular. Te hecho de menos. Ya no hay nadieeeeeeeeee como tuuu
Words fail me!! No words could ever do them justice. Life defining. M
The Clash, more than just a band.
Amo esta canción, que rabia no haber nacido antes para estar ahí 😒
Unforgettable heros !
Just 283,000 views at the time of writing. It should really be 283 million. This is it everyone, peak live performance. Nothing gets better than this. This actually makes me cry
Better that way. They weren't meant to be liked by everyone and how could they? When they got too big they knew that's not who they were meant to be
How good is the drumming .carries the song 👍👍👍
Topper said this was his favourite Clash song.
Omg, I really love this song, is awesome :P!
Between 76 and 85 l went on tour with these Amazing guys practically non stop, saw them in the region of 150- 160 times, lm paying for it now with severe arthritis in my knees lol all that pogoing!!!
Brilliant saw them.this tour and combat rock tour
The coolest! The best
Let me take you into the engine room... Great line
My brother turned me on to the Sex PISTOLS, The Dammed,the Romones,and alot more great Punk bands,and still to this day listen to punk music on daily basis..God bless my brother's soul,, he passed away on June 22,2022
Love It !!
Love it.
I was there too. Had to buy a tout ticket but probably the best £20 I ever spent.
So much talent and energy
Freaking awesome!
Magnificent.
Still the best band I ever saw live!
The Clash- forever!
perfect! 👍🏻
love this song, didnt even know there was a video for it
Best band I ever saw.
amzing i went to a show in 89 was unreal
The greatest band ever. I am so pissed I was not around to see this fantastic group live. 'The real deal'. Too many damn phonies today. I now see a lot of people dressing punk, a lot of talk but little to back it up. ❤️
the only band that mattered!!!!!!!!!!
Manu Controvento They still do
why the past tense ?
At their PEAK! Wow!
Love ❤
You can't do better than this. 40 years of musical history have decided. No go home, and practice daily in your room.
Never expected to see new uploads from this channel...
Muito bom! Eis um canal especial onde tudo é especial! Abraços!
Paul Simonon . CoolestBass Player EVER
Proper, proper band
Between 76 and 85 ...over 150 Clash nights ...wish l had a time capsule
No band has ever come close live. And I've seen a few. Energy, passion, commitment. Joe Strummer, how we could do with you now!
Ever seen the Ruts in their short time with Malcolm Owen? Same qualities??
I LOVE YOU

I was lucky to have seen the Clash. But never in my life have I worked for 'The Clampdown.' Although I do sometimes wear blue and brown.
