Lawrence Welk vs. The Clash...

Who says that PBS is for old stuffy people?...The Clash Live: Revolution Rock is a documentary that will be airing on PBS starting in March. Fans in Northwest Ohio (Toledo) can watch it on March 6th on WBGU & March 7th on WGTE. Here is how the video is described on the PBS site:

The Clash Live: Revolution Rock DVD follows the live transformation of the band, incorporating footage from all phases of The Clash's meteoric career, beginning with live-in-the-studio clips from 1979, through triumphant concerts from clubland (London's The Music Machine, 1978) and theatres (The Lyceum, 1978, 1980), climaxing with a transcendent blow-out performance at New York's Shea Stadium in 1982. The DVD also includes rare footage of the band’s performance on The Tom Snyder Show and on ABC’s Fridays.

Mick Jones is back out on the road with his newer act, Carbon/Silicon. You can definitely hear a fresh take with a bit of Big Audio Dynamite/Clash influences. He will be at the 20th Century Theater in Cincinnati on April 9th.

Also, found a great live show on I Am Fuel, You Are Friends blog (post on 2/20) featuring Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros in Germany '99. The sound quality of the MP3s is strong. Go take a listen & grab the Zip fle. IAFYAF is a great blog...always some great content over there.
