The day after this (21-5-81) I saw them In milan, the best concert of my life. Forever in my heart, forever in my mind, thanks for posting, Mauri Clash City Rocker
the concert at the Stadthalle in Wien was during the Radio Clash tour, 2nd October 1981. The concert at the Vigorelli in Milan was during the Mission Impossible tour, 21th of May 1981. Anyway, they ws both amazing!
Dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend these days :)
Song "Card Cheat" from London Calling, pure diamond.. No matter they never performed this song live, but all songs which Mick Jones sing are fabulous. And on album Sandinista, song "Hitsvill in UK" were sang by Mick Jones (second lower voice) and his then girlfriend Ellen Foley..
First time I went to a tribute to The Clash, the cover band was awesome (Plebe Rude - a punk Brazilian band), it took place in the beginning of 2014. When the vocal started singing this song, I went mad. He was really awesome, I wondered how might be my reaction if I could attend The Clash's concerts in 80's. In thr beginning of 2019, they repeated the tribute , it was awesome too!!!
Holy shit Joe is actually playing a Strat instead of a Tele! Mick always used Les Paul's but they were either Juniors or Customs, this one is a Deluxe with mini humbucker pickups. I wonder why their instruments are different? By the way I like this live version better than the original recording lol.
***** I found out the reason they are using different instruments from what they usually used was because their equipment was still in customs haha. Also I think there's a few songs of theirs that sound better live, they were definitely one of the best live bands.
That 'Strat' has the neck and middle p/us removed and what looks like a humbucker at the back. I remember Joe was also playing that guitar (on some numbers and some nights at least) at the Lyceum shows later in '81. It's kind of ugly for a Strat--natural finish and the big 70s headstock--it didn't last long. He also had a dodgy looking Tele--kind of an orange colour, with a metal pick guard. He wasn't a connoisseur. The Esquire he played a lot in '79-'80 was nice though.
Hateful66 ,thanks for upload ...Don't see much live '81 footage (London Lyceum a few months later was the best time I saw them).....when 'the return of Rhodes' was a good idea- Bonds ,Times Square.....
Just listen how Topper highlights all the changes and accents in guitars song theme parts by playing with simple feelings for opens the hi-hat. And then they bring Pete Howard to play the same song and he destroys it with his flat playing. It's a matter of feeling with the drummers, either you have it or you don't. Topper was complet pack drummer..
Went to see The Clash twice, 1980 & 1981, they were fuckin amazin, the energy from the stage was transmited in to crowd and thrown back at them, it was like one "big fuck" off wave!
L B ....eventually he may have But he possibly 'made them' as well .. Combat Rock (Cut the Crap obviously) not great ....'The Clash' still sounds great -Joe Strummer on Rhodes "meeting Bernie was the best bit of luck in my life" - & that was after 'everything '
I know really huh?? Because the Fender Stratocaster guitar is more known for its solo playing performances but since Joe Strummer was only a rhythm guitar player, the Telecaster seemed to be more of his style.
hahahaha, gotta love that quote, ran across it on "the future is unwritten" :P bernie was a bit of a tool, but they wouldnt have been what they were with out him
Cool band . worst teeth in rock and roll history. All of em. Even super cool paul simonon . Are mick and elvis Costello brothers. Buddy hollys children ??
I love his effect over use but I really hate Joe's bizarre screams from 1980 and onwards, I wish that the other guys had told him to be quiet if he dont have any words to sing 🥺
Clash is one of those bands you get to tell your children "I was proud they existed while I was alive."

The Clash = The Best Band Ever!
The only band that mattered

one of my favorite clash songs.
The more I listen to them the better I feel. It has always been like this since I came to know them.
I am so fucking grateful to have seen them. There never was and never shall be again...
Hasta siempre comandantes honor y.gloria con the clash
this song makes me remember my teenage years...
Tak blízko a přitom tak daleko. Dobře že jsou ostnaté dráty pryč. Pavel Czech Republic
prosím???☠️
@@trixturrr bydlím cca 100 km od Vídně, v roce 1981 nebyla šance se tam dostat

antonius augustus noticed that and was amazed lol
I think this song sounds much better live (likr some songs from Sandinista)
*****

antonius augustus interesting story 😀
Along with The Who, Ramones and Motorhead my favourite live band
***** I haven't listened to much Motorhead, but I 100% agree with The Who and the Ramones. Those guys really put on a hell of a show.

@DaveParanoia
Their intruments were lost in paris, where tey playd before so they borrowed instruments from a local music store
vienna is different:)
Best version of the song
Went to see The Clash twice, 1980 & 1981, they were fuckin amazin, the energy from the stage was transmited in to crowd and thrown back at them, it was like one "big fuck" off wave!
The clash and their cosmic fuck off wave SLINGSHOT,,, right back at em,
I've never seen Joe play a Strat. WTF?Thanks for posting. Best band ever!!!!!!!
Les Paul deluxe with mini humbuckers, mick sounds really good wielding it!
This is the best version of "somebody", yeah! that expandid sound....
LOVE The Clash but please remember no NY Dolls/Ramones/Iggy/MC5 then no Clash/Pistols/etc - don't forget a nod and a wink to the Punk Gods...
the only band that matters
Haha I know! I'm used to seeing him with a telecaster. Still knows how to give 'em hell with it though!
Classic!
My favorite clash song
can't top that..couldn't agree more
The only band that ever mattered
The Clash y el Rock nunca moriran
Bernie... He invented punk.
Fucking brilliant...pure rock and roll, pure punk.
bravo greatest band ever
Fantastic video, thanks for the upload
I'll say this for the clash,especiall after seeing them in concert twice,when these guys took the stage,they went to work.I mean it,they went to work.
I was there, Joe plays strat because the equipment truck got stuck on the road, so they had to borrow guitars.
thanks much
I MUST!!! AGREE!!!!!!
Best clash song ever imho...
Not seen this before thanks
What is up with Mick Jones mic here? Weird sound. But cool.
ROCK THE FUCK ON!!!!
The Clash were known to use a Fender Telecaster not a Stratocaster!
Revolution song
Right mate. Was like a wall of sound hitting you in the chest. Could feel your insides vibrating!
Unusual guitar choice for Joe.
Apparently their equipment was help up at customs.
True
"That's Bernie Rhodes, he invented punk.... It's obviously to much for him" hahaha, oh the irony. Pitty he destroyed the band
L B ....eventually he may have
But he possibly 'made them' as well .. Combat Rock (Cut the Crap obviously) not great ....'The Clash' still sounds great
-Joe Strummer on Rhodes "meeting Bernie was the best bit of luck in my life" - & that was after 'everything '
😁😁😁
I've been very tempted to grab it from the til
I've been very hungry but not enough to kill
@mattyp3400 Protex blue, remote control!!!! should i stay or should i go, but this takes the cake
Joe with a stratocaster?!?
First time I see Strummer without a telecaster
I think Hatuful66 that only the Stones can beat the Clash...
Saludos desde México.
at 0:35 EPIC!
Bernie Rhodes you son of bitch you crash The Clash!
Im sorry but joe doesnt look right playing a strat......he looks good with his tele
I know really huh?? Because the Fender Stratocaster guitar is more known for its solo playing performances but since Joe Strummer was only a rhythm guitar player, the Telecaster seemed to be more of his style.
Dude, he looks good with any fucking guitar, but yes, looks more cool with his tele
@hangin10 sound of the camera
The Clash y el
mick sounds a little drunk
"He invented punk....it's obviously too much for him"
Like the live version better, simply because of the GOT MURDERED screams
typical Clash...................do we give ashit?
and think now Mick and Paul are in the Gorillaz
Good that Joe is performing in his country
Sounds for George Floyd !
some band
hahahaha, gotta love that quote, ran across it on "the future is unwritten" :P
bernie was a bit of a tool, but they wouldnt have been what they were with out him
maybe a little they had some great nights and some shitty nights
@ 1:06-1:12 look at that face/teeth!!! F*cking Punk Rock!!!
Strummer with a Strat!!!
Yep ! it surprised me as well
Lord Clancharlie but why?
@somamusika Stones suck
At 2:46. Joe stealing the show.
Cool band . worst teeth in rock and roll history. All of em. Even super cool paul simonon . Are mick and elvis Costello brothers. Buddy hollys children ??
Micks affects over use has ruind a great deal of live clash stuff
I love his effect over use but I really hate Joe's bizarre screams from 1980 and onwards, I wish that the other guys had told him to be quiet if he dont have any words to sing 🥺
