Words cannot describe how wonderfull this release is, I had to nip out and buy a copy once I had rented this.
This film shows what a truly nice guy Joe was and how much he loved his music and other peoples music. The film shows what a humble person Joe really was, selling tickets in the street when he has seen the heady days of the clash, turning up at radio stations unanounced to plug his tour, and yet not really wanting to push who he was and where he has been. You get a real insight into who Joe was.........I loved it, will watch it again and again...........God bless you Joe-you deserve to still be on this planet, making this music for all to enjoy.
Credit to Screenslect for getting this to me 3 days after release!
I can only reiterate what has already been said, this DVD is excellent. Joe Strummer was a humble and great musician and lot of people could learn from his way of thinking. It is the music and people who listen to it that matter, not the industries money making wheel. The main documentary is just over an hour long and has a fine balance between live and behind the scenes footage, making it enjoyable for anyone. This along with some excellent extras make this a highly recommended DVD. I own all the Clash albums but had never bought any of Strummer's solo efforts, since watching this DVD I have ordered all 3 of his main albums before his sad untimely demise.
