Clash Live CD/DVD Set

Clash Live DVD

The Clash Live: Revolution Rock follows the live transformation of the band, incorporating footage from all phases of their meteoric career. The film begins with live-in-the-studio clips from 1979, showcasing triumphant concerts from London's The Music Machine in 1978, and the Lyceum in 1978 and 1980, climaxing with a transcendent blow-out performance at New York's Shea Stadium in 1982.

Formed in London during the first wave of punk-rock in 1976, The Clash, known by fans at the time as "The Only Band That Matters," became the most progressive and visionary rock band of its era, releasing five albums in six years, each a brave step into uncharted territory. Joe Strummer (guitar, vocals), Mick Jones (guitar, vocals), Paul Simonon (bass) and Topper Headon (drums) embraced the energy and confrontational attitude of punk. Refusing the limitations of any musical genre, the Clash incorporated elements of reggae, funk, dub, rap, hard rock and roots rockabilly into a continually evolving and challenging sound. Taking its name from the headlines of the day, the Clash wrote songs addressing the issues of class and race confronting the UK in the 1970s.

The Clash was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in January 2003, a month after the untimely passing of Joe Strummer, age 50, in December 2002.
