DVD Reviews of Live Revolution Rock
DVD Review: A missed opportunity; For those new to The Clash only
Summary: 3 Stars
This is pretty much just a rehash of videos and clips from the other two Clash DVDs already available (The Essential Clash and Rude Boy).
There is some new stuff (new to an official DVD, not to die hard fans). Except for the Tom Snyder and Fridays performances, all are available on popular DVD bootlegs in just as good quality - in the case of the Tokyo '82 footage, the bootleg is actually much better quality, don't know what happened there.
The Fridays performance is cool to see in good quality but frustrating as they did 3 other songs which are not included. And the other songs were blistering performances of London Calling, Clampdown and Train In Vain. No offense to Paul Simonon, but I'd rather see any of those than Guns Of Brixton.
And why is the Tommy Gun music video just randomly thrown into the middle of this? It's not live. Bizarre.
London's Burning and White Man In Hammersmith Palais, which were interrupted or incomplete in the Rude Boy film are presented the same way here. London Calling is also incomplete, it's from The Clash On Broadway Trailer that is on The Essential Clash DVD.
If your a new fan, this will be decent but you might as well just get The Essential Clash DVD. It's much better. After that if you want to see more live footage, get Rude Boy. Then if you really want to plunge into the TV appearances and rare live footage just get the popular DVD bootlegs "The Clash On TV" volumes one and two. Some good quality unauthorized concert DVDs available right here on Amazon are The Clash In Tokyo 1982 and The Clash in Paris 1980. Some good quality full concert bootleg DVDs are The US Festival 1983 and The Clash in Passaic, New Jersey 1980. Then you'll pretty much have everything out there. And no need for this DVD, unless you must have the 2 Tom Snyder performances and 1 Fridays performance in the absolute best quality.
