The Clash | Garageland | ‘Live’ at Rehearsal Rehearsals | From the movie ‘Rude Boy’ | 1978

This video is a new edit of footage from the movie ‘Rude Boy’, synced to the full length audio of Garageland, taken from The Clash album, ‘Rude Boy - The Directors Cut’, the ‘unofficial’ soundtrack bootleg.

The Clash Garageland originally appeared as the concluding track of their 1977 debut album, ‘The Clash’. The song was conceived partly as a response to NME critic Charles Shaar Murray’s damming review of the bands appearance at the Sex Pistols Screen on the Green concert in 1976:

‘The Clash are the kind of garage band who should be returned to the garage immediately, preferably with the engine running, which would undoubtedly be more of a loss to their friends and families than to either rock or roll.’

The opening verse of ‘Garageland’ is:

‘Back in the garage with my bullshit detector / Carbon monoxide making sure it's effective’, followed by the chorus: ‘We're a garage band / We come from garageland’.
Ironically, two years after the 1976 review that inspired the band to write ‘Garageland’, in the NME Murray called The Clash ‘the greatest rock band in the world’.

In the Rude Boy movie, the performance of ‘Garageland’ is interrupted by cutting to other scenes. Thanks to the availability of ‘Rude Boy - The Directors Cut’ soundtrack album, the audio could be replaced with the complete uninterrupted version of the same performance. Apparently the bootleg album was cut from a copy of a rare Rude Boy soundtrack cassette tape, issued for promotional purposes at the time, by the band’s label CBS. To date there has not been an official release of the Rude Boy soundtrack. Perhaps for authenticity reasons – because most of the Rude Boy live tracks were not in fact live, but were re-recorded at Wessex Studios, in London in 1978, for inclusion in the film.
I recut the available footage to the complete audio, to create what I hope convincingly appears to be a complete performance.

Thanks for watching, hope you dig it!
