Joe Strummer & The Latino Rockabilly War - Live Liverpool (1988)

You can't say much more about legends. Joe Strummer (RIP) was one of the most legendary and larger-than life figure in the music business. His band The Mescaleros was a mix of ethnic and cultural rockers and was later a huge help in bringing Joe back from the chasm. This early incarnation of Joe, post Clash, features him working with The Latino Rockabiliy War - a lively band with throw-back and latin sounds. This show with Joe Strummer & The Latino Rockabilly War is a huge rare and winding setlist, recorded at the Liverpool Royal Court on 15th July 1988. This was about the time Joe mixed it back up with Mick Jones for some tracks on Big Audio Dynamite's "No. 10, Upping St." the covers of which you can find below performed by Joe and his band. Alsothrow in a roundabout of Clash covers, and a Oye Como Va! from Santana to help flavor the jams. This bootleg is a rare find and a must listen download for June 2010. A throwback to when rock was rock and pop was a thing of 60's past. The set includes songs spanning Strummer's career to that point, including works from The 101ers and The Clash, as well as a cover of The Pogues' famous "If I Should Fall From Grace With God."
