Joe Strummer, the best friend I never had

there was tears in my eyes when he went and greeted the people doing Bankrobber, you could tell he was loving what he was doing and mixed with the powerful lyrics it was just magic.

At this stage in his life, joe was enjoying what he was doing again, it shows in Most of these tracks that he is giving his all...R.I.P..joe..

Joe had so much more great music left in him. Left us way too early.

my spirit is uplifted and happy when I listen to strummer, amazing.

Great to see Joe was finding his feet again, enjoying his forte to the full. Miss you badly Joe but, we have you ever near. The future is unwritten.

As we near the 14th anniversary of your passing Joe... I miss you like I'd miss a brother, you changed the way I think and feel anout my life! Viva Joe Strummer!

Mi manchi tanto,ma ti ringrazio per quello che hai fatto.

Joe Strummer was such a big influence on my life. I can't begin to tell you. Saw the Clash for the first time when I was in the 6th grade on a show called Fridays. It was a late night tv sketch comedy show. Joe however was a very serious man. A third father to me. Thank you Joe for teaching me some things.

I'm 61 now, funny how the Clash passed me by, I thought Joe Strummer was an angry man and didn't pay too much attention to him, I could not have been more wrong in this judgment, what a great legacy he has left from the time of Punk and beyond, because his music will live on.

Saw Joe with the Clash a few times and with the Mescaleros a few times. Some people have to work at it to be cool.....some people are just born cool, Joe was one of those!

Watching Joe perform gives me great joy.

"The way you get a better world is you don't put up with substandard anything." So fucking true and still so relevant.

get the "smoothers out of the way" man i miss that guy soo much and am glad that i saw this Tour in Hartford CT a few months before he passed. I had the great fortune of meeting him after the show and couldn't believe how earthy and humble he was; he made me feel in the most sincerest way that he cared about me and my life as much as i cared about him. people say that meeting your heroes can be a great dissapointment, but with Joe it was not at all the case. RIP Joe, RIP!

Joe was a real rock Rebel!!!

haha i love the fact they open the show with London Calling... the line "London calling, now don't look to us, Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust..." and the other guitarist hadsa big John Lennon sticker on his guitar.

All of his interviews were classics, very intelligent, insightful and philosophical!

Joe's 1966 fender telecaster as classic a joe strummer: This was Joe’s favorite guitar. He bought it in 1975 second-hand. Just prior to this, Joe was offered £120 to marry Pamela Moolman, a South African citizen, so she could obtain British citizenship. That’s how he got the money! The guitar was originally sunburst, but in 1976 when the Clash was formed, influenced by Sex Pixtols, Joe wanted his guitar to look more authentic. He took it to the auto body shop, where the guitar’s body and pickguard were refinished in grey auto primer and then painted with black automobile paint. Joe’s Tele is filled with stickers and various slogans which changed over time. At the first stage the word “NOISE” was painted just over the pickguard and two stickers were added. One seen on the pictures above saying “Ignore Alien Orders”, and other was probably a Rastafarian flag at the bottom of the pickguard. About that same time there was also a small sticker just bellow the guitar controls, that wrote “War” but it was scraped off and disappeared with time. Later on, the “Trash City” sticker was added just behind the bridge, which was also changed to the one that has individual saddles for each string. Original Kluson tuners were replaced with Fender “F” style tuners and a large question mark was painted on the body’s back. Since Joe’s death the guitar made appearance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum after which it was returned to Joe’s family

that drummer kicks ass joe is a true legend.

I would give 1,000 thumbs up if I could. One of the best showmen who ever lived. Man could he get up and dancin'.

The HOLY GRAIL....awesome...Joe ...live....with his new band. Thanks for sharing this WHO EVER you are.

watching this just makes me miss him more..

LEGEND

I was there and i loved it so much. ❤

awesome concert, from an awesome artist that took the art seriously. Rare to find nowadays. Thanks for this!

So much Music , so many groups . I sang with The Changes , Joe with The Mighty CLASH and The Mescaleros , very few musicians could get right to you , the way they did . Great guys , great songs , Great Messages . Luv'em !

Joe strummer, gigante como el sol!!

Almost 10 years ago since his far too early demise...Thank you for the music and the 'attitude' Joe.

wow sick performance, this quite possibly might the best musical group put together. when i tell people what my favorite musical group is Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros they look at me funny. if only everybody could learn to dig through the crap and find this musical diamond in the rough.

Holy shit I forgot how good this performance was!

Well loved and missed!

Thanks Joe for your testimony!

That's right. He said it himself. He was no communist, but his ideas always were on the left side. Joe didn't pin himself to just one idea. This guy was a visionaire, and smarter and kinder than any politician.... I can recommend the book "Let fury have the hour: the punk rock politics of Joe Strummer" by Antonino D'Ambrosio. Gives you a great idea of "Strummunism".

I'll have to listen it again then - I've got the cassette somewhere! Strummer was in so many bands after the Clash broke up - I only realised this after reading his biography a few years back.

I was into the first 2 Clash albums and all the singles when i was like 13/14 and he seemed old. He died aged 50, im now 52, he died waaaaaaaay too young. R.I.P Joe.

I love you too much joe strummer,the clash,reveals times of what was to become our future reality,you are a soul that knows other people and gives themselves,for others, I love you when you rock me,please keep rocking our world,where are you,surfing Thailand or Hawaii,lets hit the waves when my ribs get better, I love what you do man,its real love. what do you think of U2? I love your words and your heart man,when people are for one another,life shines. what do you think of these Kennedy's? hahhahah I love everything I hear by you

R.I.P. Mr. STRUMMER.

He was a man to all men,women,,,,seen him in concert after the Clash split and he was so humble to everyone who turned up that night

Thank you so much uploader! Discovered this set a few years ago but only single tracks. Didn't know if I was missing out on any. Now I can just listen to the whole thing in one go. Thanking you!

RIP Joe,. Love you man... Punk Rock Warlord!! #strrummerlives , Shame on this crowd! Have seen every live act I've wanted to see. Only regret is I never got to see this game changing legand live :(

Magnifico

I love this band with all my might 😛🤩

Great stuff. Joe is a total legend! Cheers for putting this up!

@42 minutes after a great show, he has a few words for the record companies... awesome:)

R.i.P joe ❤ . Saddly missed ma man .

Mustve been great to be a band member here, looking over and seeing that your singer is Joe fking Strummer!

I was to young for the punk movement, but later I found the Clash for me🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Joe, the drummer and the bongo player are into it . The others look out of place most of the time.

I saw The Clash at Canterbury cinema used for a concert venue, I waited outside and I was lucky enough to be asked to come up with some other punk fans, all the band were there Joe Mick topper Paul I was dumbfounded my idols in front of me all I could say to one of the members of the band which was Paul simonon where do you live , And he replied Notting Hill.

miss him one of my heroes

JOHN MELLOR GONE AT 50...HE LIVES ON WITH HIS AMAZING TALENT.... STRUMMERIZED.

LOVE THIS GUYS....LOVE....................

Joe, always the ROCKER, sez "To the record company exec. "WE DONT CARE if you lose your job......" listen to the interview at the end, CLASSIC JOE STRUMMER !!!

He is so. funny hear this footage is priceless

I was really close to Joe Strummer but had no awareness of what he had done with his life until now. It's the internet making it possible. I want to apologise for when I was young and idiotic.

rock the casbah has to be a difficult song to play live. Great song that sounds like no one but the Clash.

joe: "phony beatlemania has bitten the dust" guitarist: check out my john lennon sticker

Rock the Casbah is such a good song live

the audience are hardly overwhelmed by this set mind you let's be thankfull he didn't play anthing from earthquake weather - small mercies perhaps!

Hell yeah!

and its been almost 10 years .

🦁🦁🦁

When the second Oasis album came out in France the TV commericals proclaim them Le nouvelle Beatles !! It was enough to get the album into the top ten but then about two weeks later after people heard it , it dropped like a brick about 40 or 50 places.

#OLY $#!T I MISS Joe Strummer !
