1993 driving convoys into Sarajevo mortar shells incoming,machine gun fire all around and snipers looking for a target.Playing White Riot as loud as I can to drown out the noise of war and hide my fear.Never has a song been more fitting, I love the Clash.
I fucking love the way they perform. They get so into it, it's like I can feel the music, it's like it's punching me. It's so inspiring, so bloody wicked.
+OroborusFMA Everyone has their own OPINION :> Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan and I saw 'em back in the day fore they turned to shit., but there are other bands of the era that are as unique and powerful and talented as The Clash.
I have tried to explain on many occasions how music changed completely during the summer of 1977, One day we were at school listening to Yes and Led Zeppelin, even the girls loved Abba, then WOW !!!!... After seeing the Clash I been affected for the rest of my life.. Since then I've witnessed many bands and varying music experiences, but nothing like seeing the early Clash live !!!!
Thanks so much for this. I first heard the Clash when I was 12 years old never saw them live. But everything I've heard about their live energy, tells me this is as damn close as one can get :-) Thank you so so so much for uploading.
They were like that until early 79. Those of us who saw the February tour had the same experience as early shows. Mind blowing. You walked out high from the energy. Just incredible.
Yes, that is why The Clash started Rock Against Racism. If they were around today they would play benefit gigs to support the Black Lives Matter movement.
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 spot on. they wanted working class white people to join with working class black people to riot against the oppressive powers keeping them down. that's something we still need to happen today
People say it's dead because they are judging pop punk bands of the new generations, yet they aren't able to find out that there's still great Punk bands but you can't find them in the mainstream music, and that's just how it should be.
The clash were a hundred times better than the pistols, the pistols were manufactured, the clash had something to say. The ramones were the best thing to come out of the states at the time, but overall the clash were untouchable....
Pistols were literally created to sell merchandise and the Ramones were a bunch of right wing assholes. The Clash were the only ones out of the three who truly captured the spirit of punk
@ChewyVX the 101'ers, (Joe Strummer's original band) which were huge in London, also started in 1974. They headlined acts with the pistols as support. But yes, much love to the Ramones and the Clash! :D
Today The Clash would support BLM. Back then they played at the first Rock Against Racism concert in London. What happened on the 6th of January would have been abhorrent to them.
This is the real punk.

Some of that was speed. Some of that was gifted performance.
a lot of anfetamines
@@sammencia7945 agree!
@@carlancos2010 and a lot of practice so that the band is very tight
I wouldn't say this is the best song off their first record..... which means that this is one hell of a record.
AnarchyInTheUA-cam haha love your name
I thought it was pretty good myself aha... I don't really use this account anymore though.
What's the best in your opinion? II'm a sucker for "Janie Jones" myself
Police and Thieves!
Nah, it's one of the best. The weak one for me is Police and Thieves. (unpopular opinion, I know.)
Never gets old. Punk at its very best. Legendary Hall Of Fame punk pioneers.
Nothing touches early Clash. Repeat, nothing.
True dat my friend !
VEVO Have. Explain that away. Please.
well.....the ramones are better....but this is personal opinion.
Nah.but they are great too !

When i saw them this was the last song they played. Loved it, the early eighties were awesome.

this one never gets old.
They're so perfect ;___;
No, they aren't. And that's the magic of it.
I agree
Greatest Rock n Roll band of all time!!!
The best Clash song for me
I hope I never forget the first time saw this... My mind was blown
Eric Lamar you were there
Thanks so much for this.
I first heard the Clash when I was 12 years old
never saw them live.

You walked out high from the energy.
Just incredible.
Saw then at the Capitol in 1981 when i was 16, still get excited thinking about it 36 years later
me too! Stood right in front of Paul Simenon- one of the gigs ever!!!!!!!!!!
Soundtrack of my youth. Legendary band.
BEST SONG of clash !!!!!! punkXXXXX for life
Boy, does this song have meaning today.
❤️🙏
Yes, that is why The Clash started Rock Against Racism.
If they were around today they would play benefit gigs to support the Black Lives Matter movement.
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 you sir are correct, most ppl stuck too blinded by propaganda. Imagine if BLM woulda really got away from em. Wew
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 spot on. they wanted working class white people to join with working class black people to riot against the oppressive powers keeping them down. that's something we still need to happen today
So great! The Clash at their very best! Right at the start...young and brash with a message to deliver!
i love the speedand intensity of this song
Eclettici stratosferici da sempre e per sempre nei miei gangli nervosi!!! 💥🤸🌪️⛈️
Love their energy
Joe Strummer & Mick Jones never wrote a bad song in his life......
Best Songwriters ever.
Strummer & Jones RULES.
THE best.....
1 word. BADASS
People say it's dead because they are judging pop punk bands of the new generations, yet they aren't able to find out that there's still great Punk bands but you can't find them in the mainstream music, and that's just how it should be.
Respect
Perfection!

The embodiment of punk rock.
Love those British punks that still had an accent when they sang
You mean not an American accent.
its so great how much raw energy that they put into even the lowliest of rehearsals

Happy Birthday Joe. Your voice still gets to us all.

The Clash wrote "Complete Control" about CBS.
One of their top 3!
Killer.
Watch and learn kids, Punk rock...!
De lo mejor
One of the best songs in 1977 .I was 16.
clash forever !!!
Un groupe de legende !
immense
Organized chaos. Simply awesome!
For me they're better than sex pistols or ramones.They're the best punk band ever!!!
blablabla
for me all the three you mentioned were the best bands in the world
The clash were a hundred times better than the pistols, the pistols were manufactured, the clash had something to say. The ramones were the best thing to come out of the states at the time, but overall the clash were untouchable....

@@Grox3000 Joey was a liberal 🤣
@@rocknrallsoul94rockero4 Lol libs are pretty right wing by the standards of most punk bands
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
fav clash song
Woooooo
True Punk
Unforgettable band
❤❤❤❤
Too cool i can say nothing
One of the best moments in the history of rock music.
I think I like the live version even better than the studio version. They’re both great first time I ever heard the song.
amen
I understand thank you
😍
One minute fifty seconds of pure punk.
This is what punk should sound like. Not like the modern "punk" bands
there is no modern punk bands
Nicolas Poggioli Yes, there is some 'modern' punk bands. Some of them aren't so bad, some of 'em suck. For example, Defiance.
the punk dies with the clash. at least in my opinion. (at lest british-yankee punk)
Punk died at Winterland
@@NicoPoggioli punk not dead, Exploited
Punk punk punk!
^^ I love it!
viva o clash viva o punk
CHINGON!!
Riot in Minnesota and for a reason!
This performance is so much better than the studio recording its not even funny
@ChewyVX the 101'ers, (Joe Strummer's original band) which were huge in London, also started in 1974. They headlined acts with the pistols as support. But yes, much love to the Ramones and the Clash! :D
I love micks guitar, im gonna get a similar one next year hopefully.
First heard Tommy Gun as a 14 year old kid in 79, they changed my life. End of.
Happy Birthday Joe!
From the April live film shoot. 4 tracks recorded that day. Topper had been in the group 2 weeks at most.
I dreamt last night about this song .. awesome dream.
relevant song is relevant
As 5 year old boy in 1977 I never heard of punk. Because my mum dare to allow me to see it
cool
@TheKiwipie I just laughed so hard, thank you!
White Riot of 1/2021 brought me back here
Today The Clash would support BLM. Back then they played at the first Rock Against Racism concert in London.
What happened on the 6th of January would have been abhorrent to them.
