I loved seeing the Clash, especially when Jo Strummer, who had finally had it with all the pestering from the crowd telling the band to play this song or that one, stepped up to the mic, and chewed out the audience by spitting out indecipherable words save the last two: "Fuck off!" His irate mood that night fueled the band into a heated, frenzied performance.

Do yourself a favor. If you haven’t already seen it, JOE STRUMMER: THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN is an outstanding documentary about the man.✌🏼❤️0

All great advice and I would add that try to find some videos of live performances on you tube or wherever. Some of the shows are incredible and Joe really shined live. Easy to see why Ed idolized Joe. I was lucky to see them in small venue in 1984, but Topper and Mick had already left. Still amazing.0

The Clash documentary by long time friend, DJ & collaborator Don Letts called "Westway to the World" is fantastic too. Check that out.
I recently saw photos from my 1st time seeing the Clash live, I was a kid and it was an all ages show. It's a long story, but basically because I was short and took a step stool to the show, a LOT Of people ended up onstage at the end of the concert. You can't see me in this pic but I had originally watched the show from right in front of Clash guitarist Mick Jones, in the red shirt and white pants.
I LOVE this pic, which someone else took, because the angle, crowd, energy onstage, all captures what most Clash shows were like, even if the audience didn't usually all end up onstage. Precious memories.
Enjoy your journey, they freakin' rule! Also was in Asbury Park over the weekend and walked right by where I saw them the year after this, at the Convention Hall. Was supposed to see a newer punk/rock band, Fontaines DC, literally across the street from where the Clash played, but they had to cancel because singer lost his voice. Still was a great visit to AP though!

Lets not forget Mick! He was a great guitar player and wrote many of their great songs!
After he was kicked-out of the band, he went on to for Big Audio Dynamite, as well as a few other bands.
He and Paul toured with Gorillaz a while ago.0 -

I saw Big Audio Dynamite II on the field at Tampa Stadium with Public Enemy and U2 on the Zoo TV Tour.
Great lineup. Wish my memory were better. Then again, the dated antics of the Zoo TV Tour were pretty forgettable.I SAW PEARL JAM0 -
The Clash Bond st Casino 17 night stand was epic I saw them three of those nights and saw them a bunch more on other tours and also saw the 1st BAD show here in Manhattan back in 84 I think?jesus greets me looks just like me ....0
