The Best Live Album Ever
this album is awesome.
the versions of the guns of brixton and straight to hell are too cool on this album
RIP Joe Strummer
Not What It Could've Been
As one of the greatest bands of all time -- who were unbelievable in concert -- The Clash could've released one of the greatest live R&R albums of all time.
This isn't it.
Instead of patchwork of songs from several eras of the band, they would've been better off releasing a single powerful show from 1978-81. Or better yet, several shows/albums. While there's some good stuff on this album, it doens't hold together as a live album ought to.
Nevertheless, do get it for the standout tracks--and then get your hands on some of the great "unofficial" live recordings in circulation.

The Clash Live! Veteran of 12 unforgettable shows, 1979-82.
Great Live Album.
This live album is simply fantastic.
From "Londons Burning" to "Straight To Hell" it shows The Clash at thier best.
Probably the greatest version of "Straight To Hell" i have ever heard - Joe Strummer is on top form.
If you do not own this album - then get your arse down your local music shop and but it!!
