The Clash "Straight to Hell"

in a way, a very fine tribute to Joe Strummer IMHO??....................................

We were treated to three Clash songs on Saturday, The Call Up, Magnificent Seven, and of course Straight to Hell.

In Boston? Yeah, I went to the Friday show also and if memory serves 90% of the stuff playing between sets were Clash tunes which greatly added to my enjoyment of the night. Good times.

Still lots of the Nu Europe album too.

Straight to Hell is maybe the best entrance music ever. A profoundly gorgeous song, and it's always cool seeing how many people in the audience know it.

I was bummed to see Dark Streets dropped from the set. That's a barnstormer of a song.

It was my third year in Boston made alot more interesting with a flight in from Vancouver instead of the usual drive from Halifax.Philip is right about the ease of travel in from Logan.My flight landed at 7:30 and after a quick Metro line it was straight to the HOB and a little slice of heaven. It's been a long time since I've experienced true excitement and anticipation of a show.
Cheers boys and thank you for giving live music a leg up. It's a breath of fresh air in pre fab world. You're the real deal and I hope you continue to give North America a chance to sing and dance for years to come.
Well done
