[@Tuning_Spork]

Q: They have said that you are a political band. Is that true? A: They have said that, yes. That's true.

[@GazelyGaze]

I couldn't possibly comment.

[@christianbaughn199]

If the sound was better, in particular Joe's mic, they'd have blown that place to bits

[@markwilliams4362]

Bravo : RIP Strummer ❤🫡🙏☮️

[@vengeens]

Oh my, oh my!

[@Soundeagle3456]

I wonder if that singlet Joe is wearing would fly well today, it's quite graphic, me likey.

[@antstead2329]

Mick giving a bit of an Angus Young lookalike towards the end of Complete Control! Great stuff in general and The Clash I loved much more than than when they were releasing records like London Calling and Sandinista. To my ears, some bands improved from their early days like the Banshees and The Damned but I personally don't think The Clash did, I just think they mixed that many past musical styles they got a bit boring.

[@brucelee-wo5ge]

Interesting comment. Not sure that Mick would have cared about Angus' style. In my humble opinion their final album was not as passionate or genius as those preceding, however a couple of nuggets are legendary. The brilliance, vision and application of the Clash was, to me, and millions of other people, highly inspirational.

[@pau1056]

WAIT IS JOE WEARING PAUL´S SHIRT???????

[@anna-jy4lu]

ISNT ITTT

[@paulflah4562]

It was Vic Goddards tee shirt. Check out subway sect nobody's scared

[@warlensoaresnunessoaresnunes]

Gostei da gola da camiseta do joey strong😅😅😅

[@Riffmaster227]

4:39. Joe playing lead? What’s going on? Joe strummer more like Joe Picker!

[@GazelyGaze]

Still learning how to be a band.

[@lepere13]

Blazing.

[@emilywhitfield4131]

Mick sounds shy at the beginning :((

[@GazelyGaze]

Very shy! They were just young kids finding their way as a band - and hadn't much experience of interviews, especially not on TV.

[@nurknanker6105]

I like them better when they sounded like they were struggling to play.

[@GazelyGaze]

like here, you mean!

[@garyrhone1395]

Rock n roll

[@garyrhone1395]

Feel better

[@killbot_factory]

street politics...not, like, political parties

[@scorpio8716]

Yeaah,early Clash ,no Elvis beatles or the Rolling Stones... In 1977

[@OtherMike5000]

YUSS!!!

[@drstevie]

Fab :)

[@paulsportal1720]

Are the goddamn amps turned on?

[@henryzhao4622]

Seizure warning!

[@emperadorxd841]

Si

[@edwardnobles6418]

Why couldn't they play the record right.

[@GazelyGaze]

Because they play the song, not the record? Or perhaps because they were just young kids and not highly skilled. Still learning their craft!

[@bookboy7007]

@@GazelyGaze better than the recor i say.

[@L-Slayer]

CLÁSSICO

[@chrisinfidel]

Not the best representation of the Clash. Sound quality is awful. The French crew were probably more used to recording Charles A. and Johnny H. 🙂

[@GazelyGaze]

Although there's not many filmed representations of the Clash in this early era at all!

[@sportscarsmovies]

TV syndicate complained they played too loud , it explains the tiny sound . All the story is explained in Philippe manoeuvre book " l'enfant du rock".

[@markgreet3543]

Sorry clash😅 please no grammer nazi.clash simply are amazing.

[@FatherRayCharles]

The guitar sounds like two fleas farting in a tin can

[@GazelyGaze]

Indeed. But they were still learning, and in a TV studio environment that had no comprehension.

[@duncefunce1513]

Congratulations, worst sound quality of all time
