The Clash (Clash II) - Three Card Trick (Live) Chicago, USA [17 May 84]

From the Bootleg "Give'em Enough Dope"

This walks all over the hideously produced album version so much that you can't help wonder how good Out of Control (the lp's intended name before it was mangled by post production to become Cut the Crap) could have been.

Pete Howard on fire!!!🔥🔥🔥

I agree this rocks way harder than the album, but thats why theres both versions. The album cut is funkier, sillier and just plain fun as hell, so it also has merit imo

This is one of the few songs I actually liked on "Cut The Crap". And it sounds so much better here being played on actual instruments and not Bernie Rhodes overproduced electronic shitfest.

One of my favorites among all the amazing clash songs. Too bad it's so totally destroyed on the Cut The Crap album. The live version of 84 is a real rock mountaineer since it became more like the 1985 album.

If you took the best live recordings of each cut the crap song & compiled it to an album. Replace play to win & finger poppin with pouring rain. You have one of the better albums even by clash standards It can’t be understated how bad the sound levels from guitar to drum machine are on that album.
