I got violently high and watched this. I've never had such a calming and intensely mind-blowing experience in my life. It felt like I was right there in that theatre. Like Joe Strummer was staring right through my soul. Long live the Clash *
I remember watching a bootleg video of this not long after the performance and thinking how brilliant it was. Fast forward 40 years and it still is just as fantastic. The only band that matter(ed). RIP Joe.
Some people mistakenly think songs that don’t get played on the radio are “underrated”. Nothing underrated about this song. It’s a classic Clash track, beloved by millions for over 40 years.
Not always. there were times their sound was obviously not done correctly, and it was noticeable. The band was good, but just to make a valid point, they were not professionally good as consistently as some other bands, for example like the Rolling Stones, who never gave their audience anything but very professional preparation and sound.
Performed 3 weeks after I was born. Love Joe's ad-libbing. Tweet tweet tweet tweet! Spit everywhere, heavy bass, Mick being a badass, tight drum performance...this is my favorite of their live acts. The dark colors really add to the mystique of this beautiful, intense anti-war song.
I saw Joe Strummer with The Mescaleros shortly before he passed away. Half the show were Clash classics but unfortunately too young to have seen the real deal #ripJoe
@@dieterdemol9622 yeah....I felt like I was " in history ". Normally bands of that style ( punkish )and are are associated with small venues but they seemed to resonate better in arena. I do think that the reverberating bass was key to that.
After all these years i'm still so deep into that Clash period.. post sandinsta! thoroughly in improvisation, for better and for worse. but it's still pure Clash from 82 before Topper left the band... That's freaking great !
Vastly underated album Sandanista,god bless Joe ,would love to see Mick bring the Clash back for a tour in tribute to Joe, my fav of all the Punk Bands,could have been as big as the Stones.
Yeah the 'war' inspired multiple creatives and artists as well as Hollywood movies due to the audacity of it, especially afterward in the 70's when people realized how politically driven, un-strategic and ultimately profitable it was. I think the Clash have always been sincere in their passion about it though, which is of great note considering this was a decade later and the British were not involved. They also wrote the song 'Straight to hell' on combat rock which is an even more intense Vietnam song. That aside the Hollywood movie 'Apocalypse Now' inspired the song or the name of this song, which resulted this magnificent live performance. I love the improvised line 'gonna get a California haircut and burn some children to death'. RIP Joe
A band at their pinnacle we'll never know what they may have have achieved had the drugs not fucked topper up around this time. Still just need to be thankful for what they did do but from a selfish point of view wish they could have been around in the 90s when i first got into bands
Bro I legit stood up to karaoke and the asshole of the host thought I was out of tune (it’s possible I was fucked up) but I’m like bro did you see the live? SMH man one of my forever favourites tell you what, he’s a karaoke organiser and THE CLASH… well.. CHARLIE DONT SURF

Yo high af on Coca-Cola and weed and I must say thanks for this comment. CHARLIE DONT SURF BOYYYY ❤
The only band that ever mattered
the doors
Fantastic performance!! Mick Jones just blows my mind.
LOVED
Yeah I guess hes a little underrated

this is better than the actual studio recording
Very wrong
Not sure which is better but this IS pretty kick-ass!
Agreed.
I think this is the best live version of any clash song.
My thoughts exactly.
0:29 - 1:06
I loved this solo when having 13 years, today I'm 25 and still loving this version like if was the first time I hear it.
Haha, I've had a similar experience with this song! Loved it to death when I was 13, now I'm 22 and I love it even more.
I’m exactly the same as you guys
The Clash, so varied, and innovative, Nobody sounds like them, Sandinista is a Masterpiece......and the Lyrics.....well....Ahead of the game
they were punk, but far beyond it as well
Damn what an experience I'll never have :(
I love the feel of this song, it always makes me so dreamy.
Always loved this song and the album. I believe Sandanita to be a work of art and that it's never been given the credit I think it warrants
"Dreamy"? It's about the Vietnam war!
So glad I came across this. One of the best Clash trax.... and there were many!
Sandinista! is a wonderful album!!
Underrated song.
Love this live version!

That bass... Such tone, such awesomeness.
Whole group is loaded with talent!😎
the most rockiness version of this song ever
most every Clash song has a memorable hook....how the fuck did they manage it ?
it was only after that you realised just how good they were.
December 1980, "The River" and "Sandinista!" Also John Lennon´s last album. What a great time that was!
except when Lennon got like shot and stuff
The Damned’s Black Album too!
transcendent. period. jones, strummer, et al. all these years later, i am on my knees.
Something about their live performances. Great band

JPCP M you could argue that was they’re punk side showing
Punk rock ya roaster.
This is the best Clash line up.
Performed 3 weeks after I was born. Love Joe's ad-libbing. Tweet tweet tweet tweet!

I saw The Clash 5 times, including in arenas. The bass sound gave me goosebumps!
I saw Joe Strummer with The Mescaleros shortly before he passed away. Half the show were Clash classics but unfortunately too young to have seen the real deal #ripJoe
@@RMPereira777 i envy you in a positive way, if there's one band only i would like to have seen it's them.allright ✌

The Clash unici 😢😢😢😢
Greatest band of all time!
increible sonido de guitarra, espectacular
Sublime la guitarra.
Yes dude! Thought the exact same thing!!!! Great harmony
What a drum sound
I didn't think the Sandinista version could be topped,but I had never heard this one. I love it,I'm so glad it exists. Thanks for uploading.
Pioneers; the vanguard. What a performance of a perfect song of the moment; from Apocalypse Now. Incredible.
Apocalypse Now
The Clash only matter everything else is secondary what a great live version of this like many millions of fans we miss this🥂 thank you.
Incredible version.
My goodness this live version is insane 😮
The Clash forever
After all these years i'm still so deep into that Clash period.. post sandinsta! thoroughly in improvisation, for better and for worse. but it's still pure Clash from 82 before Topper left the band... That's freaking great !
Great Lighting, Great Sound, Great band.
The world is better when I hear this
Sounds unbelievably amazing
Stunning. How is this not an official release?
because this is live
Drums sound great. Great performance.
Topper at the top of his game!
*"if I say it's safe to surf this beach Captain, it's safe to surf this beach!!!"*
Phenomenal rhythm work.
Excellent
The Only Band That Matters.

Blinding version 😍 that intro, Joe's words on top of the original lyrics,... Goosebumps 😍
Only love for this legendary band!
Vastly underated album Sandanista,god bless Joe ,would love to see Mick bring the Clash back for a tour in tribute to Joe, my fav of all the Punk Bands,could have been as big as the Stones.
Bringing back 'the Clash' would be a travesty. For what purpose? They had their time, said what they wanted to say and moved on.
Class Clash never head them lyrics b4 ,telling like it was ,rest in paradise Joe 🙏❤️
Such a great version of a great song.
Los mejores!!!!!! Forever The Clash!!!!!!
Quelle énergie j’ai vue joe plusieurs au bord de l’épuisement tellement il donnait tout .
You can hear Topper struggling all the way through with where he should be. It was the beginning of the end for him
Excellent quality, thanks.
Remarkable live version from Sandinista"s album track
Realmente, concordo com todos vocês. The Clash é muito legal!!!

3:23
の所でジョーは客席から飛んできたパンフか何かで作った紙ヒコーキを拾って
握りつぶしている。
「なんでお前たちはこの大事な事をわかってくれないんだ！」の意が込められているのかもしれない。
EPIC!!!! thx for upload
The Clash.
Is he crinkling money into the mic for the sound effekt?
The clash at their best.
better live than studio Imo
Charlie dont surf
Micks-guitar.
Was this song inspired by the classic line in Apocalypse Now?
yep...listen to the lyrics.
