Review: We are so blessed that Joe did this before his untimely death. This is an absolute MUST own for anyone even remotely interested in the Clash. The interviews are absolutely riveting. Is there something you want to know about the history
of the Clash? It is all here. The video clips of the band
are the best around. Makes you wish you could see every concert
they videoed from beginning to end.

Summary: Essential - A clear eyed view of the Clash's Career
Review: Wistful and almost mournful recollections of the band narrate this visceral and romantic tribute to what may be the greatest band of the punk era. The music's muscualar punch is left intact in this doucmentary. If you miss the clash and the punk era of the late seveties and early eighties you'll love this film. A great depiction of a moment in time that rocked the world...... and changed us forever.

Review: You will love this dvd. It's not just old geezers. It's a vibrant band captured in their prime.
The Clash, who I first heard and saw perform while I was in college, profoundly affected me. They still do. It's funny, a lot of older, jaded people will tell you that you will not retain your idealism, and that you will sell out and the music you now love will not mean much to you later on. Don't believe them. The Clash are as important to me now as they were then, and I don't believe that I've sold out or become jaded. For me, their music and lives helped provide a blueprint for dealing with the contradictions that come with growing older. I listen to a lot of new music and am not stuck in some nostalgiac cocooon. Anger, irony, curiosity, and humor are every bit as valid at age 42 as at age 19. I think that the divisions of age and race and musical purism are for closed-minded people. If you have an open mind, check out this dvd and don't let anyone tell you that you can't grow older and still maintain your ideals, enthusiasm for life, and dignity. Most important, this dvd is a lot of fun to watch.
