A host of rare live Clash performance clips will be found on "The Clash Live: Revolution Rock," due on DVD April 15 via Epic/Legacy. PBS will broadcast excerpts from the film in early March, Billboard.com can reveal.

 

Among the highlights are 1977 performances of "Capital Radio" and "What's My Name" for Granada TV, "Guns of Brixton" from the ABC show "Fridays," "The Magnificent Seven" and "This Is Radio Clash" from a 1981 visit to "The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder" and footage from the 1983 US Festival, the Clash's last gig with Mick Jones.

 

"Revolution Rock" was produced by close Clash associate Don Letts, who contributed some of his own B-roll footage to the project. Bonus features include band interviews from 1981 from the Snyder show and NBC's "Live at Five."

i'm loving this, but.... why can't complete shows be released ?

all those Bonds shows should be out.

 

who makes these decisions

 

Exactly - I wish Fridays would come out on DVD. Pete is doing the same thing with Who stuff - now. He is going to put some complete shows - after various clip collections such as this one. I bet down the line the powers that be will do the same with the Clash stuff.

it really makes no sence

 

Springsteen is finally putting complete shows out

 

 

I often think to remember that most things like this are not for the hardcore, but rather the causal fan - or new fan. He is - I did know that.

I actually have all The Beatle movies on DVD - if you want copies.

 

Speaking of DVDs...didn't you mention once that you, uh, knew a guy who found some Faces DVD torrent stuff? Where might someone find something like that (specifically the BBC show that vh1 classic has been reairing over the past year)?

I have it - I recall the first torrent of that was fooked up, and then someone re-did it. I don't really recall where I got it though - tape city, maybe. I'd be surprised if it was still being seeded. I can look when I get home - I don't like to go to BT sites at work.
