I saw them few times in '70's.
My favorites were their covers: I fought the law Brand New Cadillac....check out the backstory on the guy that wrote that, Vince Taylor aka the real ziggy stardust Police and thieves But best of all was Joe and the mescaleros: Get Down Moses Cooln Out Johnny Appleseed ------------------------- It's a democratic hoax |

I love their music. ------------------------- "One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power."

Train in Vain Tommy Gun Police and Thieves London Calling White Riot Somebody Got Murdered Janie Jones Yep, too many to list. My son and I wandered around Brixton last summer, and it still had that look and feel to it. Graffiti, art, global music played live on street corners, outdoor markets, island food, and all walks of life; from old Rastafarians to Mohawk punks, and everyone in between. ------------------------- I was right.

Iggy Pop was the God father of punk.

MC5 - all the elements and ethos of punk can be found right here. Even the audience doesn't quite know what to make of it.
In time...some of their kid's would. ------------------------- Slide On |

Right on Joe.
I got to see The Clash on their Combat Rock Tour. By that point the lads had certainly conquered America and were full-fledged rock stars. They came to play at my college as the first show of what was to be an arena/stadium tour. Naturally they had more speakers and wattage than our gym could handle. I was on the concert committee at school and would volunteer to "guard" the sound board during the visiting band's sound check. Always the best seat in the house and a great way to meet the band. Needless to say, they were extremely LOUD! After the sound check the band huddled around the board to discuss what they had determined. The sound guy kept telling them "Fellows it's just too damn loud!" Finally, after a few minutes argument, Joe just turns to him dripping with condescension and sneers, "We want the audience to share our pain." and then just walked away. So punk! I burst out laughing and the sound guy just glared at me, shrugged and mumbled something about Limey a-holes. Indeed...we felt their pain...all night long and well into the next day. ------------------------- Slide On Edited: 02/18/2023 at 06:49 AM by WorldBFree |

Wayne Kramer was before his time. I saw Henry do a cover of Kick out the Jams live and he put his special touch on it. Great stuff.
And Joe, I prefer the studio recording over the live version. It's crispy clean, with a nice punch. I really love when the bass rolls back in at 2:22. That gets muddled in the live versions. ------------------------- I was right. |

WBF : Very famous early Clash legend ---- they were playing live on French TV ( 1976 or 1977 ) and the volume output was so loud , that ALL Three of the French Sound Engineers walked off of the job , citing the possibility of irreparable permanent hearing damage . Cole : I like the raw power and visual performance of the live video ---esp Joe collapsing on stage .

Yeah Cole. Kramer and "Sonic" Smith were way ahead of the curve. I've also heard that The Clash song "Jail Guitar Doors" was about Wayne.
"Let me tell you 'bout Wayne and his deals of cocaine A little more every day Holding for a friend till the band do well Then the DEA locked him away" Joe S. I hadn't heard that French TV story before. Sounds about right ...it makes me laugh and suddenly a lot of things make sense. Haha. ------------------------- Slide On Edited: 02/20/2023 at 06:19 AM by WorldBFree |
