Music The Clash Live: Revolution Rock

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Tue, Feb 19 at 4:41 PM

Those feisty punks at PBS are gearing up to air The Clash Live: Revolution Rock, a new documentary chronicling live performances from the greatest punk band ever (sorry guys, it’s true). The program is a preview of an upcoming DVD release (out March 18th), and will air locally on OPB on March 8th at 10:30pm, sandwiched between an exciting episode of Antiques Roadshow and Alan Alda in Scientific American Frontiers.

MP3:
The Clash - The Clampdown (live, August 17, 1982)

End Hits: Wait, so Alan Alda wasn’t the fifth member of the band?

Nope, Alan Alda lacked the Britishness, balls.

Who is this "The Clash"?

And yes, I realize that once again, I'm getting in on this discussion a day late. That's how I do it. You do it your way.

Also highly recommend the documentary Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800099/) as it helps put The Clash into context with WTF was going on in the world at the time. Pretty amazing stuff.

I agree about your opinion of greatest punk band ever, too, though Sum41 is a close third - second would be Good Charlotte.

Just sent this to a friend and realized we're getting into a certain demographic if this is what they're shilling for pledge drive -
what's next? Siouxsie Live at the Royal Albert Hall?

just kill me now....

Sum 41? Good Charlotte? Cracker Please!

Methinks that somebody's never listened to Bad Brains' Rock for Light album.

What's wrong with The Carpenters, anyway?

I hope that was not a knock of Hawkeye's badass science nerd show. That's good stuff.
