The Clash - Straight To Hell Live Us Festival

[@twintriode]

One of the very best bands of my youth. A band that had substance and meaning. One of my favorite Clash tunes too. RIP JS

2024 and I love it

[@ccce2783]

I’m 27 and obviously I never got to see them play live but this video is played at least twice a month 🎉

[@charljooste8538]

Apart from all else, possibly one of the most passionate drummers ever, ever.

[@maddie8415]

I assume you mean Topper...they'd sadly let him go by this time, he's not here.

[@davidschmitt2362]

omg . they were amazing. it's hard for me to watch them . it gets me choked up

[@decimated550]

yes, i would play the CD of combat rock over, and over, and over. oh the 90s, thanks to my uncle for turning me on to them

[@jonbarlow4763]

Off the cuff...No aids...Thats what rock and roll is about...Raw as foook....Pure class

At one time, the greatest band in the world ❤ 640 am

[@MrJames-tw3so]

I got 640am in 4mins.

Keep rocking in paradise Joe you left us too soon 🤘🏻

[@johnhouchens561]

Holy crap. Hadn't seen this. They were so incredible

The Clash were the 🐐 🐐

Double goat..? :)

[@Runshag71]

Play this song "loud & strong...." ✌ 🕊

[@stevenlee2347]

Damn I miss them.

[@CartaGoraRamone]

They are perfect, thanks for comment

[@MrCSRocker]

This is great footage. Wow. This is near the end for the band. Man, Joe is in great voice, and really feeling the passion. Mick's guitar sounds great, and Paul is laying down the back beat steady as always. Don't know who drummer is, but he's doing ok. Only band that matters - The CLASH!

[@GuyTVUSA]

I think that's Terry Chimes on drums - The way I understand it, Topper Headon was struggling with drugs at the time and touring wasn't helping him.

[@therealsoulproduct]

Actually, that was Powerhouse Pete Howard on the drums. Terry Chimes left by this time. Also of note, this was Mick Jones' last performance with The Clash.

[@Clash_CT_Rocker69]

@therealsoulproduc All true. Last gig of original The Clash, San Bernardino, 1983. What a misserable end of the band; Mick and Joe haven't spoken at all more than a half year, Topper was fired more then a year ago. This only money driven gig is paid by then allmighty IT geeks whom eventualy will help multinational companies to conquer the whole World - totaly opposite what The Clash were - maybe is the best cynic epitaph to the band who once was greatest in their struggle to change consciousness of entire generations..

[@garyhoward9202]

@@simonjames1604 Mick Jones was fired from The Clash 4 months later. This was indeed their last US show. When Mick left, that was the end of The Clash...imo

[@poolmonkey]

I wonder how few people in that audience outside of San Bernardino had any clue that this song is critical of the United States.

[@markbrandus]

I was there..They do not show the stage drama that preceded the show, as the Clash came late from negotiating Barrio issues in LA.

[@irenacanalssoler5224]

gràcies, quina sort!

[@decimated550]

negotiating barrio issues? how do you mean?

[@ocielgarcia105]

@@decimated550The Clash refused to play the show if the organizer, Steve Wozniak, did not allocate $100,000 to a summer camp for Latino kids living in East LA. Wozniak complied.

[@decimated550]

@@ocielgarcia105 wow! I asked that question a decade ago and then an answer comes flying in. Cool. I can't say I'm too pleased with that story because The clash wanted to seem as if they were Robin Hood robbing the rich and giving to the poor that was their chance. Sounds like some strong arm tactics to me. And they wanted to seem as multicultural as possible by helping out some brown kids. I wonder what they would think of Britain now In 2024

[@ZEUSOFHOLLYWOOD]

@@ocielgarcia105 Yes I am from SOUTH CENTRAL. And I as well was there and witnessed said Drama. Strummer was YELLING AT ME! ADMONISHMENTS hahahah Im like wtf??? He made me out to be some yuppie no care dude for our east la BROTHERS . i was the only guy pissed about that. They should have played the PREVIOUS year WHERE THEY PLAYED COMBAT ROCK before the first band. US FESTIVAL WAS A MESS. I saw Joe at Bar Marmount when he lived in town. Joe Strummer #1 BADASS Had no idea about 100k id like to trace those funds,

Never forget how sad I were when I read that Joe had died of a heart attack, I couldnt believe it

[@alainvdborght310]

Ja meisjes en jongens , de tour door de vs - was er te veel aan , duidelijk had Joe tinnitus , en was zijn rechter pols met ontstekingen gepaard, je ziet duidelijk dat de fut er niet meer in zat , topper werd vervangen door drug problemen door de voormalige drummer , zij waren op , en een zootje van hun eigen roem geworden, kijk goed naar paul en Mick - de fut was er uit ( te verstaan hoor)

[@mancatravel220]

[@timcowle5927]

Well this was poigniant seeing as I have been stuck in cambodia for too many years. I expect next door they should get it. But even post the nightmare khmer seem to prefer ignorance ( which they aint - arogant yes) to reality. I play this a lot.

you can play on fiddle How's about a British jig and reel? Speaking King's English in quotation As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust Water froze In the generation Clear as winter ice This is your paradise There ain't no need for ya There ain't no need for ya Go straight to hell, boys Go straight to hell, boys Wanna join in a chorus of the Amerasian blues When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City Kiddie say, papa papa papa papa papa-san, take me home See me, got photo, photo, photograph of you And mama, mama, mama-san Of you and mama mama mama-san Let me tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo, kid It ain't Coca-Cola, it's rice Straight to hell, boy Go straight to hell, boy Go straight to hell, boys Go straight to hell, boy Oh, papa-san, please take me home Oh papa-san, everybody, they wanna go home So mama-san says "You wanna play mind-crazed banjo On the druggy-drag ragtime USA? In Parkland International, hah, Junkiedom USA Where Procaine proves the purest rock man groove and rat poison" The volatile Molatov says "Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, straight to hell" Can you cough it up, loud and strong? The immigrants, they wanna sing all night long It could be anywhere, most likely could be any frontier Any hemisphere No man's land There ain't no asylum here King Solomon, he never lived 'round here Straight to hell, boy Go straight to hell, boy Go straight to hell, boys Go straight to hell, boys Oh, papa-san, please take me home Oh papa-san, everybody, they wanna go home now

Sehr gut komme aus Deutschland mien name ist yvonne 😊

[@bent2]

Either Paul's bass is out of tune or he plays it wrong. Lol

[@redhotchilifan98]

Its definitely out of tune considering how many times I've played this song on bass

[@d_walsh]

Good lord paul tune your bass I always questioned his quality of playing.

[@simonjames1604]

as did the clash themselves a lot of ""classic" clash bass lines arent even him, magnificent 7 for example

[@blackmetalerik962]

why is joe holding his ear?

[@RockPunkFloyd]

His earpiece, so he can hear the rest of the band better.

[@user-pg5mi9hc5b]

He didn't have an earpiece, the feedback from the speakers was intense

[@Coolnesski]

Sounds rough, like they were out of practice playing it

[@user-pg5mi9hc5b]

You'd be surprised how difficult it is to play a song like that, LIVE

[@ethansampanes3435]

One of the worst voices in a concert I've ever heard, aside from this, I love the clash

[@jejemon123]
