I loved and still love The Clash. I briefly met Mick Jones at the Notting Hill Carnival in '96 and now my fourteen year old has a poster of Joe on his wall. Timeless!
One of my idols
No! this is just utterly wonderful as an opening 5 mins ... Pure Diamond. Don Letts dancing, young Sid smiling at the camera ... Culture! ... Utterly utterly lovely ...
This is quite simply the most interesting doc for any die-hard Clash fanatic. Bloody brilliant footage. Cant believe it exists. Such a treat ...
A band that that people will be still talking about for decades!!! Their music will live on... God blessed me by discovering this band in my youth
To film the Clash as they'd only been together 6 months...at the beginning of the UK Punk Rock movement is just mind-blowing and incredible...it's very special, that B & W footage is.
They were together for 10 years , 6 studio albums , they couldnt make 1 álbum per month, being one of them double, they would be 7 .
I was in Junior high when I discovered the Clash , Im 54 now and still love them Kentucky USA
louisville ky here
LeNice Ky USA
Joe could talk to absolutely anyone and make them feel they were on the same level- that level of empathy and connection flowed through their early records
I never meet Joe Strummer but I know for a fact he would go to Glastonbury festival in a Van and pick up hitchhikers on the way and give em a lift and never told people who he was
I met Joe in Osaka. Perfect gentleman and definitely a genius. RIP Joe.
@@rabbitshirt he really was. Funnily enough I live 2 minutes away from Walterton Road where he squatted in the mid 70’s
No doubt about it. I met him in Fall 2001 after a show. My girlfriend and I noticed he’d taken a seat at an otherwise unoccupied bar across the complex from the concert hall. It took me forever pacing around outside to work up the nerve. What helped was having read some fans’ accounts from the early days: The Clash aren’t going to come hold your hand and lead you over. But if you show the guts to say hi, they aren’t going to let you down. I was the first fan to approach him (my girlfriend intuited coming up together would only make me more self-conscious; as soon as I was warmly greeted, she was right there). He couldn’t have been nicer to us. It didn’t matter that I couldn’t think of much of interest to say. He pulled out a bar stool for her and talked with us like old acquaintances, occasionally topping off the pints he ordered for us from his own glass. Eventually, other fans approached and we occasionally exchanged glances, like: This man is exactly as advertised, but it’s still unbelievable, isn’t it?” Later that Fall, a bunch of us were set to go see a great up and coming band at a small venue, but I opted out to go see Joe and The Mescaleros play again across town. A year later, he was gone. At least so many of us for whom he and The Clash mean so much got to shake his hand and share a pint.
Punks...such posers!
Joe Strummer had reached the midpoint of his life in 1977. He turned 25 that year and would live 25 more years.
seems fitting that 1977 was the year he would make it big, then.
Half century is GREAT
@Jessica Jujubean i hope so
Lost way too soon, i'd love to hear his opinions on what's going on thee days
scary but true
Great documentary, especially to watch on New Years. The Clash have always been my favorite band, the one constant since I was a punk kid in high school. I remember my old Chevy didn’t have a cassette player, so my younger brother and myself brought a boom box with us in the car, and we’d listen to the Clash. We got to see Joe play in November of 2001 in New York City. It was just over a month after 9/11, and was our first time in the city since that tragic day. The show was incredible; Joe knew just what that crowd needed to hear that night. Little did we know, a little over a year later he’d be gone.
About 7 years later, I was out shopping with my wife, our first Christmas together. I stopped into a guitar store, and they had the Fender Artist Edition Joe Strummer Telecaster. I had seen it before, played it and loved it, but it was too expensive for me at the time. My wife ended up buying for me, and it’s one of the most sentimentally things I own. I suppose requesting that at least one Clash song be played at our wedding made an impression (they played “Rudie Can’t Fail”).
Lovely comment - thanks for sharing!
@@equinnox70 it’s funny how certain bands, artists, and songs always seem to appear at key moments of your life. I can count them on one hand, but the Clash have been one of them. They are one of a the few bands I wish I had a time machine and good travel back and see play live (particularly the 1980 Bonds International Casino, just post “Sandinista!” era, where they were playing everything from punk to pop to hip hop).
When Britain really did have talent.
they want to be different, today, everybody wants the same thing.
MF Doom RIP
Still does. Just gotta know where to look
You can fool some people sometimes, but you can't fool all the people all the time, remember?
You made me laugh.
Britain still has mad talent
First gig I ever went to, was to see the Clash in 1980 at De Montfort Hall in Leicester. I was 13 😏 never been so terrified in my life, and I’m an Army Veteran 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 still my favourite band of the punk era just a bunch of brilliant social commentators…… more relevant today than ever. RIP Joe . Thanks for the memories .😎
Loved the footage of live concerts with Shane Mcgowan jumping about, another LEGEND!!!
@Mike Morris disagree,just wait another few years and you'll see
@@mikemorris7117 Shane is one of the greatest songwriters ever. Haven't you heard Body Of An American or Fairytale of New York?
The Two Sevens Clash by Culture. I still have that album in storage. Great reggae!
Legends.....RIP Joe Strummer.....You will be forever missed and remembered......😪🙏🎸
So good, so good ... the first 5 minutes of this are utterly magnificent film ... truly ... of course its all great, but the opening ... Lovely!!! Culture 2 7's playing ... the visuals ... wonderful...
The Clash were rightly declared at one time " The Only Band That Matters " What a phenomenal 5 year run. Absolutely fantastic.
I think they actually gave themselves that moniker, as part of their PR.
Re-hash of the Stones 1964 "more than a band, they are a way of life". Bernie and Malcolm learned a lot from Loog Oldham
Until the Smiths came along.
I just found my Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros Tshirt from 1999. At the TLA in Philly. Was my wife & I first real date. I have the laminated ticket stub in my wallet. Was a very special evening. I almost fell down the stairs when they played Pressure Drop.
So much Clash on here....Legends....They were who we looked up to back in the day and I still like them now....Great Integrity..
Had the great fortune to speak to Joe, when The Clash were playing support to a
cult band named Roogalater in Fulham during the autumn of 1976.
I nervously asked him when the band would bring out their first album, and he simply smiled and said "When we're good enough". They played a blistering set, comprising
of all the songs on their forthcoming debut. "I'm So Bored With The USA" was
particularly impressive. During the set, some buffoon shouted "Play "Stairway To
Heaven" and as quick as a flash, Joe replied "Why don't you go out and collect some
stamps! "
Back then, with the emergence of Punk, battle lines were starting to form with a "Them
Against Us" mindset. Johnny Rotten was there with Siouxie Sue, and they immediately left after The Clash finished their set.
Joe Strummer was a true gentleman, and The Clash was a fantastic band.
I love stories like this. That gem about being asked to play stairway to heaven and joe's response is a precious artifact. Thank you for sharing
@110097516363415568805 Thanks for your thoughtful comments.
Thanks for sharing your great story! Them in the 80s when I was 11. I'll never forget it! There were about 10 other people there (?) Don't know why but they played a wicked set and I'm so grateful I got to see them.Loved the "stamp collecting story"
dianalee84 Thanks for your kind remarks.
Great guy, great band.
totally agreed. i met him too and spend about an hour talking with him. my most cherished memory.
i met joe twice. once during the recording of "cut the crap" in the mid eighties in munich and in italy during his earthquake weather tour. he was really incredibly generous and down to earth and even made his bass-player give me his boots because my shoes were losing the sole and i still had to travel home, it's a long story though. if anyone wants to hear it, i'll be glad to tell it. to make it short, i just want to say that joe was "real" and not an arrogant rock-star but remained true to what he "preached".
I want to hear it! Not so generous as to give you his own shoes though haha
maybe that was why the bass player wasn't that happy about it. but thinking about it now, could you imagine if i would have had the chance to walk in joe's shoes...when i travelled to modena, after seeing his free concert in milan, i automatically assumed it was for free there as well and didnt have enough money for a ticket and decided to wait at the gate where i assumed he'd arrive at. when he was driven in, i knocked at his car window and told him i was broke but would give my right arm to get in, he made them put me on the guestlist without hesitating a second.
@@pauserepeat787 I had the same thought at first -
but then again: maybe the size just didn't fit! ;)
As much as I love Strummer's legacy, he was very selfish in his career. So "true to what he preached", not really. IMHO.
Strummer was very real - rather like the royalties he received from Levi jeans for the use of the song "Should I stay or should I go" in the early 1990's !
Great post, ty 4 uploading. I was very lucky to see the London Calling tour...Detroit Michigan/Motor City Roller Rink 1980. 40 yrs later and i still have dreams about that show, it was a magical night and i was there!!! :)
The ONLY band that matter. Then and now. Much missed, RIP Joe.
Joe is Life. The Clash said it all. After so many said so much. JOE . RIP. Teacher. The Clash Brothers. Our Brothers. Universal. Praises and love and it all goes back to our little times in the room with loved ones playing guitar and folkie songs....Joe Strummer was a folkie. He never let go of that. Rockabilly fella'. .... then " punk" or whatever ya wanna call it...He knew truth and never let go of that. HE NEVER LET GO OF THAT. AND US A WORLD. AS A WHOLE. A Prince among men indeed. The road rose up to his feet . He gave . He is still a wonderful spirit. ♥ +++
Great to see a young Shane MacGowan, totally unidentified, in all that live crowd footage. A visionary amongst visionaries.
1hr
I just put that in the comments FUCKIN great love you spotted him to check out a guy called junkie bissness new classic bands you'll get it. M.
Extremely poetic. The finest cuts between the 'then' and the now. Extraordinarily sympathetic film-making. It's absolutely spot on for the times. LOVE.
Nothing much has changed 4o years on only there were better bands
What a little gem of a movie, me and my friend seen Joe at Notting Hill Carnival in the mid 80s (we were huge Clash fans especially the 1st albumn) we were to afraid to go up to him lol, great days to grow up in ❤
Saw them in the 80s when I was 11 at a university in N.Y. I think there were 11 people there! They were Amazing! One of the greatest band's Ever! R.I.P Joe.Your music lives on and Thankyou
Such a great doc - good to see 1977 in glorious b&w. Every word of this film is true.
Another Julian Temple stunner - a fascinating time capsule from a chaotic, troubled and charismatic era that will never happen again.
Julien's stuff is decent also.
This is great! Nice to be watching something real! Instead of all the garbage on TV,the news,and The Movies! THe Clash where about LIFE! Not Fashion and Dance! I was lucky to meet Joe Strummer at the Glastonbury Festival office in the town of Glastonbury.We had a great talk about music! It was really special!
The clash weren't about fashion and dance? Yup, that's why they spent so much time honing their image, as well as mixing reggae, funk and hip hop into their sound. You're an idiot...
@@isabelgellibrandi7496 you're replying to a 5 year old comment. That's the sign of a genius right there.
@@GwaliaMusic what are you on about? Racism had nothing to do with the original comment and the fact that you used that as an example speaks volumes about your thought process.
@@isabelgellibrandi7496 These folk are idiots. You were merely using an example of something ridiculous stated 5 yrs ago is just as ridiculous today. Your right on it being a ridiculous statement on The Clash not being all about some Fashion. Hell, the first few minutes in and The Clash are spray painting and making their fashionable clothes! The Clash not being about fashion is one of the most ridiculous comments ever made! Here you even see a member of The Clash in the mirror fixing his hair. They also incorporated different styles that were all the rage in each new album, plus them changing their image- fashion up to whatever was trendy on every album. I can't believe anyone could ever think The Clash weren't into some fashion, with their ties, graphic spray painted clothes, hip boots, militia style garb, baseball bats- LoL. The Clash was all about fashion, kids dancing and their image! That guy is an idiot
Really amazing documentary about The Only Band That Matters! It makes me wonder in an age of Kardashians and American Idol and social media conformity, where is this generation's Clash?
We're looking, man. We're looking.
it's underground
Can i audition
i hate this ''hey look at me im a young person and listen to old music'' comments but in this context i just wanna say im 21 and from germany and listen to Clash, Bob Dylan, Beatles and so on...and i ask myself the same question alot of the time. im pretty young so i dont REALLY know but i guess shitty pop music was allways around. im playing guitar and im writing songs too...and there are still great bands and artists around, they just completly disappeard from the mainstream.
Now it's a corporate sponsored soulless Rock n Roll industry run by accountants. That's why there's a load of bands from this era taking care of business cos the up and coming bands aren't delivering the goods.
When we were a more united country.
In those 'us and them' days before we were divided and conquered.
This is a good time to unite once more.
Don't believe the hype, 75-78 was a great time to be alive if you were young.
They're so young and fresh-faced, especially Mick. The Clash was the band that broke me through my anti-punk, pro-psychedelia and prog high school mentality. They made my early 20's a lot more interesting.
Long live THE CLASH! ! Love them 4 Ever :)
This is simply the best TV I have ever seen. Sheer, utter. genius.
"If you aint got nowt to die for then you aint got nowt to live for"
One of the best doc still very relevant today, 40 years gone the fight still on.....the mitici Clash
Interesting to hear just how wonderful those ‘good old days’ they keep banging on about really were…
Really good documentary on the times in London and across the UK. Perfect powder keg that exploded with Punk and the Ramones and Pistols lit the fuse.
When Mick was talking about meeting "arseholes", there was a brief glimpse of a young Billy Idol! LOL!
Cool seeing Shane MacGowan in the audience. Thanks for sharing.
+Cindy Carr And Brian James, and Rat Scabies and Jordan and Siouxsie and Steve Severin and Keith Levene and so many others
And Adam Ant. Great doc.
*And* ..Mark Perry ..... Slits ....
...Janet Street-Porter...
Billy Idol
When the two sevens clash, there will be chaos. Culture named their first album "Two Seven Clash" for a reason in 1977. The Clash's first single "White Riot" was released in March of 1977. It was time for major changes in England. It's about time for that again, England is a mess.
Saw the Clash, pacific coliseum, Vancouver BC Canada 1984. Only Fishbone and Bad Brains have come close to that show.
I saw them on that tour at the Long Beach Arena in California. Los Lobos opened for them. Still have a Clash button I found on the floor. Cool that you feel that passionately about Bad Brains. I played a gig with them in 86 in Long Beach when I was the drummer for "Final Conflict". They were really nice dudes.
@@dirtydave2691 Thats cool man. If I remember correctly, the stage was draped in camo netting and there were a bunch of monitors playing mad max and other action movie clips, teenage punk rock heaven.
This needs showing on tv now, it shows nothing fundamentally has changed in society and that stuff happening today is not unique. If you lived through the seventies, these days aren’t so bad
4.10 there was SID VICIOUS jump arond hahaha
I went to the Roxy numerous times, whilst the documentary and film maker paint a picture of gloom in the Covent Garden area, I can assure those reading that it wasn't that bad at all. In fact Covent Garden played home to the Royal Opera & numerous well known theatres ... So it was filmed during a period of gentrification. Right ... back to the actual documentary, a fascinating watch as a first generation punk. The Roxy was as bad as suggested? It was if the club had witnessed a massive fight with the resulting destruction everytime I attended, but it did have a certain quaintness that kept me coming back for more. The Clash were a superb band to see live, which I was lucky to do so many times. The Lyceum, Notre Dam Hall gigs nearby, a while later, were my personal favourites for central London. My own local highlight was at the Lewisham Odeon, where my brother and I managed to make it on the stage for 'White Riot' then get chased by the bouncers before diving back into the crowd. The punk era (the first wave) was a short lived affair, resulting versions never quite lived up to the originators. Like many others, the crowd moved onto the next 'big' thing? Acid House, House Music began to arrive in the mid 80s and is still dominating the music scene in it's own various versions ...
Keep your eyes peeled for Siouxsie Sioux, Adam Ant and Shane MacGowan.
Old Shane still has a few teeth in his face too !!
I saw Shane, thats awesome
And Sid
Loved Siouxsie Sue
and Chrissie Hynde
Have some stories about Joe when he was in Newport South Wales and hanging out with my brother. I was only 9 years old but remember a lot.
Thanks for posting, this must never leave yootoob, ever!!!
When the Pistols played their first gig...members of what would soon be "The Clash" were in the audience that night 😍
Those of us who lived through and participated in punk are the luckiest Englishmen (and women ) ever.
It's the nearest thing we got to fighting in a war !
God I wish there was a time machine To go back to then. 2020 sucks
Man I remember 1977 I was 8 and my dad just bought a ford F100 Ford pick up.. and I remember the music. Man it was the best!!
To my eyes, quick cameos by Chrissie Hynde and Shane McGowan
Excellent stuff. Brilliant sounds.
I grew up south florida I had clash records. I never got to see them. South florida sucked in 77. 78. 79. 80. ....it sucketh more now.
That's wonderful. Thank you for doing this, BBC
Damn...that really gave you a sense of what life was like in England 1977. Well done.
Do Britains know how to make a documentary that teaches us anything?
OK the economy sucked. WE KNOW!! I guess it's not awful. It's just not very good....... and scant on informative. i'm also too lazy to fill in the blanks. The music was insanely over-rated by the way....... gimme the Stones at Hyde Park with Mick Taylor wailing on his Gibson SG..... GOAT.
The Best Winter of Disc content.
odurandina the way you wrote that sounds like you’re Donald Trump
odurandina if you’re talking about overrated the stones are one of the most overrated bands of all time. Why are you watching this if you don’t like this era of music?
It's really changed a lot. Eh..?
One of the best bands on the planet.
Was fortunate to attend Joe's final concert in Liverpool. Was stunned to hear a few days later that he had passed. I remember the encore that night ... 'White Riot'. What a blast
Joe last show was a month before he died.
@@jend80 yes that’s right. Died late Dec. His last concert was on 22nd Nov.
Was that the benefit show for the fire fighters, where Mick spontaneously joined him onstage for “Bankrobber”, and stayed for “Londons Burning” and “White Riot”? I would love to have been there. I saw him just over a year earlier in November in New York. It was the first time my brother and I, both (now former) firefighters, had been in NYC after 9/11. They opened with “Minstrel Boy”, and it was just what we needed to hear. Joe was amazing; twenty years after he passed, it is very hard to find someone who spent any amount of time with him who has anything really negative to say about him, personally. Long time colleagues, fans who talked to him for 5 minutes… it doesn’t matter. That’s good just for average people like me; it’s pretty amazing as “rock stars” go (not sure Joe would like having that “rock star” moniker, hence the quotation marks).
@@chrisradzion2148 hi.
No, I don’t think it was.
Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros' last ever concert was on 22 November 2002, in Liverpool. This show is often overlooked in favor of citing the 15th of November show at Acton Town Hall as his last and yes, that gig on the 15th was the firefighters benefit show.
Great performer. Still missed. My favourite song (if anyone is interested) ‘Stay Free’ …….. brilliant!!!
This is fascinating for me as I was born with just 16 days of 1977 left... and The Clash are my favourite band
no Elvis Beatles or the Rolling Stones
Fascinating
@@FIZZYYAM for me, not necessarily for anyone else
Loved this video! All the best!!
That was great! Original footage of originators making original statements that originate the original punk movement.
bloody brilliant
Thanks for the upload!
Best Documentary I have Ever Seen.
I was a teenager listening to the Concert For Bangladesh and other hippie shit when my older friend came back from college with 45s by the Pistols and Clash and the Damned and I sat on his floor freaking out. It was different from the Ramones playing "Rockaway Beach", not at all jokey.
Righteous, cousin...
People want to give the Ramones sooooooo much credit. I was a teenager then, buying albums. The Ramones were a joke-band. Like, Monster Mash? Spike Jones? They were just putting on a punk front, to con you. If they came out of Manhattan, Kansas instead of NY,NY they would be laughed off the stage!
@@Redmenace96 To me there are two types of Ramones songs. The jokey novelty of Rockaway Beach and the much more modern stuff like Beat On The Brat and I Don't Want To Go To The Basement.
@@buzzawuzza3743 modern? Both those songs were on the first album while Rockaway beach was on the third. So if anything, Rockaway beach is more modern
@@georgharveyoswald5982 you misunderstand, I don't mean in album release date order but in feel. Rockaway Beach is corny old rock and roll and Beat On The Brat is really modern
went to see the Sex Pistols at the Black Swan Sheffield in 76, with my mate Kevin Quinn, when we got to the venue it was advertised as 2 bands playing no mention of the bands names, they said they didnt want the perverts turning up, I didnt find out till 40yrs later that the second band was The Clash.
New Year's Day With The Clash!
What I would give to have been at that gig!
,,, and I too would have had to crawl back to Crawley new town through the bahroom window!!
Shane MacGowan in the crowd!!!
Seen Micky Foote a few time in that gem, Micki was the sound of the clash!
Great upload! Took me right back to the atmosphere. Despite my being only about 5, or 6, years old at the time, I was fanatical about the music and D.I.Y. fashion.
Me too, I was born in 71 and loved all the punk/ska scene, very exciting times
Priceless old 16mm bw footage of the scene between Dec and April. Guys had no money, thrift clothes, sunken cheekbones.
lucky enough to see them live in 1981 👌
Greatest band of all time...only question: no sign of Ian Rubbish on the doco
The UK always produce quality documentaries!
You can hear them tightening up. A perfect stage to document a young band
met Mick Jones at the Roses, Made of Stone premier. leathered, free beer and one of the clash, mint
There are very few venues left that are like the Roxy club these days. In the late 1980s we had places like the William Morris club in Wimbledon and the Canturbury Arms in Brixton. Today there is the Fighting Cocks pub in Kingston and a couple of small venues in Camden.
I was 6 in 1977, I was really happy from what I can recall
Me too.
same here
I bet I was happier... just born... now it’s shot up
My take on The Clash is that they were a perfect band. What I mean by that is that not one of the members was replaceable. For example, if Oasis always have the Gallagher brothers, they'll always be Oasis, if Motorhead has Lemmy, they'll always be Motorhead. Once Topper was gone (regrettably by all accounts) it was the beginning of the end. Other bands that strike me as being 'perfect' bands would be Zeppelin, Queen, The Beatles, and The Who. Some would probably argue The Band and Cream aswell.. probably Chilli Peppers with Frusciante aswell.. Although both Purple and Sabbath thrived with different lineups..
Brilliant FANTASTIC 👌👌👍 well FUKKIN said ,,,yes @@@
punk and reggae. amazing
to this day never has a band so much to say
i am very proud to say i was a part of it .punk rock is not just music ,its freedom to say what WIMPS cant .............long live free speech
Everything you see in the early minutes - the posters, the clothes" the equipment - all of it is now $$$$ collectible.
Brilliant.
back in 77 they really where the only band that mattered
You literally don't even need to pay for cable anymore RUclips has everything cable doesn't
Nope. You tube incomplete
Thesciencesk8 don’t tell that to anyone or they make us paying for RUclips....
HAAA!
I found this out about three months ago now. Had no idea what I was missing. I keep telling people, and they keep paying Charter and AT&T for a bunch of brain rot.
What is 'cable?'
Wow, how England has changed.
joydivisiongirl The Clash are still as relevant as ever, though.
All those faces though 47:41 19 yr old Shane McGowan. Stuart Goddard. John Ritchie. Chris Millar. I think the only one that was already who they were was Siouxsie. And Johnny Thunders, of course. 1:08:40 is quite sad how innocent Sid looks.
52:39 "i'm going to sell off everything, make it look good and leave us with nothing...". Thats what she meant. If I could go back in time she's the one i'd stop.
augustus pablo king tubby meets the rockers uptown!
It's an incredible piece of music, some of Tubbys finest come out of the Jacob Miller sessions
Hey do you know the the one song that starts when the welsh couple enter the butchers or the one that starts as MicK Jones says "Assassination!" both around 25 minutes in
🗣Great seminal album!💯
happy new year !!
WHEN THE TWO SEVENS CLASH!!! RESPECT TO FADDA CULTURE & THE BLOODCLOT CLASH
Watched this twice. First time, I thought it was just a conglomeration of old footage, with a VO. Glad I gave it a second chance, because I listened more to the narrator, and put more things in perspective. Great, great doc. I believe it is a doc, about a doc. If I understand the beginning correctly?
It is well curated and edited. With an artistic point of view, it brings a lot to the table. May watch it 3x.
Everyone in the comments is giving Strummer the Love, but would like to shout out to M Jones! Like McCartney-Lennon, everyone credits Joe as the 'soulful' lyricist. F'n Mick put the whole show on a paying basis with blasting riffs and structures/arrangements which blew the lid off.
Just as I wish more young people would listen to the Clash, I wish more kids would check out B.A.D.
Its a Julian Temple film , check out some of his other works.
Britain really was great back then ♥️
Pleased to hear the legendary Punk Harmonic Orchestra in the background on the soundtrack!
Times were gritty but better it had soul- the year before I was born ❤️
Me too!! I born in 1978!
Unstoppable force. Long forgotten unstoppable force. In Memoriam
that is Shane MacGowan (later of the pogues) up front in the audience at several points - right? Great footage all round, seems a long time ago now. RIP Joe.
Stupid question ffs!🤫
Great doc. Makes me wish i was born a few years earlier so I could have experienced this myself. I was born in 1981 and got into putting on shows and playing in bands in the mid 1990's. Punk rock definitely changed my life and continues to do so today. The Clash have always been one of my favorites and Joe Strummer is a great statesman of punk rock IMHO. Thanks for uploading.
Are you a Millenial ?
