Product Description

From Amazon.com

Touted for many years as the greatest live band in the world, the only surprise about this live album is that it's taken so long to appear. Recorded between '78 and '82, it captures the London punk torchbearers in all their fury--Strummer spitting out vocals like every breath is his last, the guitars of Jones and Simenon taut and abrasive. Even after all this time, songs like their debut album's scathing "Complete Control" and the dub-fired "Armagideon Time" blister out of the speakers, sending streams of scouring guitars and tight, chunky reggae rhythms into the atmosphere. Two complaints: no "White Riot," and no songs from Give 'Em Enough Rope, the underrated second album. Instead we have material from the sprawling Sandinista and disappointing Combat Rock. These are minor flaws though. Buy Live: From Here to Eternity for the first 12 tracks alone. From the angry, articulate dub of "London Calling" to the full-on force of "I Fought the Law," this is punk at its pinnacle. --Everett True

Product Description

The Clash were the only first-generation punk band capable of (or perhaps interested in) tailoring their up-from-the-gutter firepower to suit arena-size audiences. Here, at last--a decade and a half after their demise--is proof of their substantial stage skills. --Steven Stolder

This review is from: 1978-1982 Live From Here To (Audio CD)
Sure, it's yet another attempt to suck the wallets of Clash fans dry, but its a pretty good record, and long overdue.

What makes this disc shine are the live versions of their early material, some of which was very poorly produced. The Jamaican feel of "Clash City Rockers" and "White Man in Hammersmith Palais" really come through here and both are 500% better than the studio versions on _The Clash_. I would have appreciated a live version of "Police & Thieves" as well.

Mikey Dread (who produced much of _Sandinista!_) toasts over top of "Armagideon Time" giving it a quality of transcendence equal to or greater than the "live" studio version on _Black Market Clash_. "The Magnificent Seven" kicks an incredible amount of butt too, much more than the funkier studio version, which is still great in its own right.

Joe's sense of humor really shines through as well, a great gift for those of us born too late to experience the young Joe live. This is most apparent on Capital Radio and Joe's sardonic delivery on "Know Your Rights".

There are several mediocre tracks here though, too. "Train in Vain" is much too fast, although Topper very obviously tries to slow it down during the intro. It has a very spontaneous feel that makes it worth hearing nevertheless. The inclusion of "London's Burning", the blatant Sex Pistols rip-off (homage?) "What's My Name?", and "City of the Dead" is questionable. "1977", "Groovy Times" or "Pressure Drop" would have been much better. "Should I Stay..." is much too fast too (coincidence?), and lacks the nastiness of the studio version, one of the few bright spots on Combat Rock.

Paul's menacing vocal on the studio version of the "Guns of Brixton" was brilliant on London Calling, but it is just terrible here. I mean really, really, REALLY bad. It makes me cringe to think about it. I love Paul, but the man should not be allowed within 25 ft. of a microphone.

Still, overall, it is a must-buy. One final complaint: Terry Chimes gets screwed once again. He plays on close to half of the tracks yet fails to get his picture in the booklet. Topper was great, but Terry, we love you too!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great live CD from THE GREATEST band, Feb 17 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: 1978-1982 Live From Here To (Audio CD)
I only wish it was a double CD! It would have been nice to hear a few more songs from Sandinista! and Give 'Em Enough Rope. Radio Clash was always one of my favorites that is sadly missing. What is here is great stuff. Highlights include terrific versions of Clash City Rockers, Train In Vain (probably better than the studio version), Straight to Hell, Magnificent Seven...

The Clash will go down as one of the greatest bands ever. If you are still wondering why, buy this CD. All of the answers are here! RIP Joe. WE MISS YOU!

Buy this CD. It will be the best $11 you ever spent.
