The Clash - English Civil War (live)

English Civil War live

[@ernestoribeiro2226]

General Joe Strummer was more than just "the Bob Dylan from Punk Rock". He was simply the most brilliant poet in the History of Rock & Roll. Nobody wrote texts so beautiful and strong and direct and blunt and violent. He brought the heroic tradition of American Folk of Woody Guthrie into the British Punk Movement. Just look at the PHOTOS of the man and you feel the same feeling of surrender. There is no doubt: John Graham Mellor is the greatest lyricist of all time.

[@maddoman11]

I bought my copy of the album, RAM magazine recommendation. Played it for my mates, criticised the cover, never could get the message, England so different from Australia then mate.

[@sotis1756]

Most brilliant poet in RnR is definitely Jim Morrison but joe can have the 2nd spot

[@geoffball5803]

I think that is the most beauiful, educated, and truthful, comment I've read on youtube, and to be it of one of my favorite bands makes it even more poignant, bravo Ernesto

Joe the Public School Poet.

[@goodpeopleoftheworldunite]

Don't think anyone bests Dylan. Joe Strummer is fantastic though.

[@patgarett2225]

So many emotions in this song. Unforgettable....

[@sovaine]

Pure unadulterated filthy Rocknroll.... what a beautiful noise... long live punk rock.

An extra bonus track from the Rude Boy film. Originally not included as quality wasn't as good as other tracks from this gig at Lyceum in London. DOES make you wonder what else is in the vaults!

[@lordclancharlie1325]

maybe the entire gig 😉

[@Stephen2112]

Best ever live performance

[@hansschjlberg172]

the live tracks in Rude Boy was overdubbed in the studio....

[@realsinisterminister]

@@hansschjlberg172 I was about to school them on this as well hahaha cheers

[@runebinder]

Awesome, thanks for sharing. I'm starting to think we need another one.

[@danielhaylock6833]

how isint this viewed by millions sound spot on

[@scider2]

Agree, never heard such a great version of such a great song with so few views!

[@BobConanOwen]

Yes but it's all over-dubbed in a studio onto live footage unfortunately!

[@Owesy1]

Because they voted for trump

[@manfredwilliams9762]

@@BobConanOwen Spoil it for me, why don't you!! I have to reluctantly say, you could be right. Having listened to it a few times now, Jones' guitar does sound a bit 'moody'. Anyway, nothing can ever take away the thrill of actually seeing them live, which I did, many times.

[@EmrahUncu]

Because they are busy numbing their brains with likes of Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Drake and similir sh**ts. By the way I'm shocked that no one put "Hurrah! Tra-la! " on their comments. Comeon guys!

[@mollywoodcock5444]

Mate this sounds class 🙌🏻 This is my fave version, but the Levellers version is also brilliant

wow. feel like that's the first time I've seen this but can't be as I was a Clash fanatic and saw Rude Boy several times 🤔

[@M1tjakaramazov]

Two gigs I'd die to see the full footage from: this one, and the one from Rude Boy that starts at the end of Complete Control. Best Rock moments ever. It must bloody be somewhere....

[@grahamneale9228]

Camera completely misses Jones's solo at 0.53

[@petarst]

that concert was in lyceum i think , for me this was the best clash concert ever..

"I think people ought to know that we're anti-fascist, we're anti-violence, we're anti-racist and we're pro-creative. We're against ignorance." Joe Strummer. Check out their performance at the Anti Nazi League rally in Victoria Park.

No in Lyceum, England

[@RichardSmith-ew3xz]

This was at an Amnesty International gig around 1979. Many bands played that night.

[@p5050]

​@@RichardSmith-ew3xz I can understand Carlbildtsdemons question though. About 1:15 during the video we can see a big norwegian flag behind the band/stage. Did not know about the Amnesty gig so I thought for a second The Clash was originally a norwegian band. Not!
