The Medusa Fora

Just listened to it..they sound almost as good as the pogues live.. neone els got it or heard it or saw them live? straight to hell should be the pogues opening song forever in respect of the clash!!

Fantastic record - agreed....however I think I've read somewhere that Mick Jones actually went back into the studio prior to the album's release to brush up some of the guitar parts and backing-vocals....Organically, I'm sure that the sound of some of those shows is still nothing but amazing - with the extras recorded over for the release, we get a full on sound.

The Pogues' live disc sounds awesome just the same.

I was lucky enough to see The Clash 3 times in my life.Once on Give Em Enough Rope,once for London Calling & one very famous night at Bonds NY.They wound up playing almost 3 weeks straight at the former department store(where I had previously seen The Plasmatics & also The Stray Cats when only the Runaway Boys single was the only release).Anyhow,they played 2 nights,then the NYC fire dept shut the club down for over selling & over crowding.They literally kicked every one out of the club that night & cancelled the next nights show.All of the officials got their shit together & 2 nights later,they regrouped & started back up.We had no tix but HAD to go.Being the entepreneurs that we were back in those days,we traded plastic bags of leaves(I'm sure you know what I mean)for 2 tix & stood right in front of the PA by Jonesy.A memorable night,for sure!!

Yeah, on the Eternity there are certain songs played in a unique way (a very good one). This is certainly the best live album I´ve listened to (Pogues in Great woods, 89' are pretty good though:-)).

Although I've been slightly disappointed by London Calling (I got Eternity into my grasps after watching Pogues Live in CC - where they play London Calling...just incredibly well).
