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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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 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 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!
Bruce is 65 here. Joe was 27 and Mick was 24 when London Calling was released. You're not going to match the Clash in their prime, but at 65 Springsteen brought enough anger and power to win the Clash's approval.
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! 🤘
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.
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 was at the Pittsburgh show where they debuted this as a setlist staple for the remainder of the High Hopes Tour. He had been opening with different covers throughout the tour, even in the Australian and New Zealand gigs, so we didn't know what to expect (though, as many of the aforementioned covers were from regional artists, I was half-expecting a cover of Send Me On My Way from Rusted Root, since they're from Pittsburgh). When they whipped this one out, my friend Chris and I knew it right away (the other three in our group didn't), being mega Clash fans.
That’s paying tribute the seminal band of the Clash . How true we’ve all grown up and all calm down as paradoxically we’re working for the clampdown... worst luck !
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.
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.

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 think so too🌟❤️🤗🇬🇧

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

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.
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.

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!
Gotta love the devotion and commitment Bruce and Tom give this song. Much respect.
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
this must be a dream come true for morello. hell, for any of us, it would be
Two of my favorites. Bruce and The Clash
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.
Just glad to have shared the same planet at the same time as Bruce and the Band(s).
When I was 8 this was unironically my favorite song at his concert 😂
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。

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

Coisa linda Bruce Springsteen Cantando The Clash!!
Springsteen and Tom morello, what a fucking tag team, covering such a great and powerful song
This is awesome. I love almost everything Springsteen does with Tom Morello featured. And, dare I say? ...The Boss looks GOOOOOOD!
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.
The boss have my respect no matter what others say,Joe loved Bruce!!
I was there, such an AWESOME song to open the show with. The place went nuts. Tom Morello was on FIRE!!!!!
Due macchine da guerra!!! 🤩Bruce e Tom!! 😍Il massimo della bravura!!!😍😍😘😘🎶🎶🎶💎💎💎🎸🎸💋💋🌲⛄🗽
this is awesome.. great vibe. Tom was great in the E Street Band
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!!!
Dude still packs a hell of a punch!
Was never s huge Springsteen fan, but he does awesome covers. A really wide range of covers too. Good stuff.
Love this rendition...best cover! Love Tom & Bruce🎸🎤🎙🎶
My favorite Clash song from my all time favorite album. Im glad he covered it for more people to hear.
Springsteen does The Clash....marvellous!
Fantastic!
Thank you Bruce and Tom for keeping the spirit of The Clash alive. May they always find an audience.
Man, Bruce plays with heart. It's a bit slick for the Clash, but Joe would still be proud.
He is the only one that can do Joe's song justice.
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!
Think Joe Strummer would have approved, Bruce has the same passion and intensity, love it 👍
No man born with a living soul can be working for the clampdown!
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
I give him an A for effort, but I wouldn't exactly say it was in the realm of Clash greatness.
Fuck, An A plus for any body turning the crowd on to Tne Clash,
He said he wouldn't teach his blue eyed men to be young believers and he wouldn't teach his speech to the young believers OMFG SO MUCH GOOD
Bruce is 65 here. Joe was 27 and Mick was 24 when London Calling was released. You're not going to match the Clash in their prime, but at 65 Springsteen brought enough anger and power to win the Clash's approval.
Respect. this rocks.
@@davechristian1525 I saw Bruce a few days after this show in Albany. He was on fire that night as well.
No one can cover a a clash song but Bruce has done a damn good job with this just an amazing performance well done Bruce
Mamma mia!!! Bruce e Tom!! Fate scintille!!!🤼🤼🎶🎶💎💎💎😅😀🎸🎸😍😘💔♥️💗💋💋🌟
Ottimo duetto... Grandi
THE BOSS BIG CLASH FAN
I WAS HERE!! Best 23rd Birthday Gift Ever until my dad surprised me with his concert in Philly 2 years later for my 25th.
I’m 48.

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...
Thanks, whoever posted this. It's the clearest video version I've seen. Such a great cover. Such a great song.
Bruce un pur rock n'Roll, merci pour les clash
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 !!! 😅😅😅😍😘💖💘💞💯
Molto ma molto ROCK." Mi piace Assai"🎸🎸🎸
Bruce can do an awesome cover of anything and that rage against the machine guy is totally awesome
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….
OMFG JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH BRUCE!!!
Puede ser más genial Bruce?
Siiii, con unos de mis temas favoritos de The Clash.
Always thought Joe liked Bruce and I think Bruce liked the clash,this is great.
beatifulllllll.... adoro Bruce... banda magnifica.
Impressionanti!!!Tom e bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!😍😍😍😘😘😘🎸🎸🎷😅😅😀😀🌟🌞🎶💎💯
Excellent cover
Love you Bruce!!!!!!
go bruce!
Not a BIG Springsteen fan, but not a bad rendition of a clash song , if i do say so myself.
brilliant
👍 That made me want to buy Springsteen concert tickets! 🇺🇸
That was incredible
Love these guys together can't get no better!
God bless joe strummer and bruce. IRELAND.
espectacular!
job well done Bruce
Great great cover. Real power
It’s like Joe saw what was coming - big respect to his song writing talent being shown by Bruce doing this cover.
the best
The best at dressing like Castro…..not something to be proud of or to celebrate… ridicule, yes….
Just come across this great effort from a clash fan
Geniale .thanks bruce
The Clash,legend...
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!

Best Springsteen video ever!!!!! Tom Morello absolutely killed it!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Oh man I love tom
Oh man, what a cover!
I was there! ❤
EXCELLENT cover... kudos! From a die hard Clash fan.
Awesome!
i cant get over this cover,, i love it, even with Tom Morrello
Brilliant Bruce! ❤️🌟🤗🇬🇧
激熱❗️🙌🙌🙌
Brilliant
WOW.... LIKE IT.
Keep on’a rockin
Very energic
Six drummers doesn't make a Topper. A good homage though. Strummer was a Springsteen fan.
It wasn’t The Clash without Mick. Neither was it The Clash without Topper.
Great song and collaboration also screw the clampdown.
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.
This is the kind of energy Joe Strummer would be performing this had he lived to be Bruce's age! Brilliant!
