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!

[@geoffchappell2184]

They just hammered all of the subtlety out of the original (the break in the middle sung by Mick Jones). That's my complaint.

[@lauranewberry6520]

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

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

they working for the clampdown

[@Caperhere]

I just came to find out about the origin of the song, and read the lyrics. Damn right it was a song needed singing.

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

@@lauranewberry6520 Cover Joe's voice? Nobody's qualified? Huh... I bet Joe disagrees.

[@popoff7808]

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.

[@jayjay4602]

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.

[@jackthepakirakki3334]

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

[@paulkeyton2870]

The only band that matters

[@firecracker67]

Al second that brother 👍👊

[@filmnoir67]

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.

[@mauricioamaro5698]

Very nice. Springsteen always had loads of respect for the Clash. Shows his humility and appreciation for socially charged rock.

[@BarklyMitford]

Very nice? This is amazing and so so so pertinent to our current situation

[@BarklyMitford]

Seems like a lot of folks in middle America are working for the clampdown

[@youtubehasdimentia]

@@BarklyMitford satisfy my curiosity and define middle America

[@brianwade879]

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. 🤕

[@jasonstone1938]

As a musician, music lover, etc. etc. Gotta love The Boss and Morello covering one of the the pioneers of punk. The Clash!

[@DoubleE5135]

When I was 8 this was unironically my favorite song at his concert 😂

[@hamid2828]

Wow, he has good taste in music.

[@kemellymello7989]

Perfection. The Clash, this song, lyrics, Bruce and Tom playing this song with such emotion!

[@chetbarrasso2396]

That's it for me ! The emotion from them is amazing!!

[@tricyclemishap]

Gotta love the devotion and commitment Bruce and Tom give this song. Much respect.

[@tedtraikovski9446]

Atta boy Bruce! Covering the Clash!

[@seanlevison6361]

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.

[@thunderbirdsrgo1267]

My favorite Clash song from my all time favorite album. Im glad he covered it for more people to hear.

[@pilarzj]

"In these days of EVIL Presidentes".........2024 ....The Clash are timeless.....Thank You Bruce and Tom ❤

[@randallreid424]

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

[@runningsuperska]

No man born with a living soul can be working for the clampdown!

[@rocker7765]

Two of my favorites. Bruce and The Clash

[@gdocekal]

I was there, such an AWESOME song to open the show with. The place went nuts. Tom Morello was on FIRE!!!!!

[@graysonv.3536]

Springsteen and Tom morello, what a fucking tag team, covering such a great and powerful song

[@JoeyBrunoMusicArchives]

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.

[@Nogoodboyox]

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!!!

[@iwillnevergetone5]

this must be a dream come true for morello. hell, for any of us, it would be

[@jasonberezny9705]

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! 🤘

[@TromsoTrauma]

I'm no Springsteen fan, but I do like The Clash, and he did good on this one!

[@nigelsutton8957]

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?

[@caydencayuga7876]

@@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?

[@cairnsyboy100]

Springsteen does The Clash....marvellous!

[@ackmino]

Was never s huge Springsteen fan, but he does awesome covers. A really wide range of covers too. Good stuff.

[@BrianBrayMedia]

Thank you Bruce and Tom for keeping the spirit of The Clash alive. May they always find an audience.

Bruce un pur rock n'Roll, merci pour les clash

[@jonathansteadman7935]

Think Joe Strummer would have approved, Bruce has the same passion and intensity, love it 👍

[@josephschwartz2869]

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.

[@johneeeemarry34]

Moronic and childish virtue signalling…Hollywood, house on the hill scum….

[@markvaught672]

I first saw Bruce Halloween night in Los Angeles 1980. I was 13. In 1982, I first saw The Clash at the Hollywood Palladium. Within two years of each other I was blessed to see perhaps the two best shows ive ever had the pleasure and good fortune to get to go to. Both shows I went with my older brother. I was 13, then 15. He was 18, then 20. Lol It went Butch you wanna go? Yeh but I got school and all (he was Valedictorian of his high school graduating class in 1980. Then went on to Yale Law. We were raised by our grandparents because our mother was mentally challenged. So it was uo to me, the younger brother ( think Wally and The Beaver in Leave it to Beaver). I would explain to grandpa. He'd confirm if my brother really wanted to go or was this some scheme of mine? Lol Once my brother confirmed, yes he wanted to go also,but had no time to wait in line like you had to back then. Grandpa would hand me the exact amount for the two tickets. I'd go all night and wait in line. My grandpa would get up every few hours at my grandma's insistence to check on me, a kid in line with all the teens and adults. He'd see I was not only fine, but often holding court as usually the youngest there all night. Lol I'd get the duckets and my life would be irrevocably changed. C'mon The Clash and Bruce Springsteen in a two year period. At the peak of their respective powers. Long live Rock!!

[@teddibryant9889]

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...

omg Tom Morello is totally channeling Joe Strummer @0:53 with those stage moves, seriously check out early clash performances and you'll see Joe pull that exact quick as electricity stage move (among many others). it's pure punk rock psycho passion.. it's legendary.

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.

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.

Six drummers doesn't make a Topper. A good homage though. Strummer was a Springsteen fan.

[@youtubehasdimentia]

It wasn’t The Clash without Mick. Neither was it The Clash without Topper.

[@juanpablojones]

I recall reading that Joe Strummer was a fan of Bruce and the e-street band, saw them around 74-75 in London and was inspired. Urban rock and roll with political angst. The Clash were Londoners, younger and thrasher but I get it.

[@grahamneale9228]

Springsteen played Hammersmith Odeon in '74(?). Strummer and many of his contemporaries attended, and drew inspiration,. This cover is a bit 'Big Band', but that's how Springsteen rolls.

[@MitchGurowitz]

Great cover, I saw the Clash 12 times, I should know.
