Top quality radio broadcast for Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros. Recorded at the legendary House of Blues in Los Angeles, this is a dynamic set of Mescaleros material, rubbing shoulders with a healthy dose of old Clash tunes, plus a couple of rare reggae covers. A must for any Clash fan! In the mid- 1990s, following several years fighting a legal dispute with Sony Records, Joe Strummer, now free to record for other labels as a solo-artist, put together The Mescaleros to back himself on future concerts, and with whom he would make new records. Gathering around himself a selection of friends and top-flight musicians, Strummer and the band signed with Mercury Records, and released their first album in 1999, co-written with former Pulp keyboard player Antony Genn, called Rock Art and the X-Ray Style. A tour of England, Europe, and North America soon followed. On 6th November ’99, the band performed at L.A.’s House Of Blues venue, where they performed a dynamic set of new Mescaleros material, rubbing shoulders with a healthy dose of old Clash tunes, plus a couple of rare reggae covers, all of which drove the whole house wild with joy and ecstasy.
