El Reggae de Joe Strummer

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
At the Sun Theatre, 5 Nov 99 by Joe McGaha (Indyrock)

El viernes pasado, fui a ver la actuacion de Joe Strummer y los Mescaleros en el Teatro Sun en Anaheim, California, EEUU.
He sido un fan de los Clash desde hace 15 o veinte años, pero tenia la oportunidad de verlos en concierto, asi que verle a Joe Strummer era de verdad un sueño realizado. The Sun Theatre es un teatro bastante nuevo. Abrieron las puertas por primera vez hace un par de meses, y desde entonces, han tenido actuaciones de varios artistas grandes como Yes, Squeeze, y ahora Joe Strummer. El show llevaba un sentimiento de algo muy nuevo, llena de accion, no de un artista que ya lleva mas de 20 años tocando. Toco muchas canciones ya conocidas (al aplauso grandisimo del publico) como "London Calling", "Rock The Casbah", y "Straight to Hell", ademas de las canciones de su nuevo LP. Habia un ambiente bastante excitante, y por lo menos tres personas de la audiencia subieron al escenario, hasta que los guardias les echaron del teatro. Algo bastante tipico de los primeros dias de Punk, pero un poco sorprendente cuando se considera que estos fans ya llevan de 30 a 40 años, o aun mas. Habia una mezcla de gente joven, y de gente mayor, todos disfrutandose de la musica que despues de 20 años, todavia lleva la misma fuerza. Joe Strummer toca y canta con igual pasion que cuando tenia 20 años, y a lo mejor se siente mas comodo ahora en el escenario que se sentia entonces. Su nuevo grupo, The Mescaleros, toca muy bien, y se nota que tienen un gran amor hacia la musica que estan tocando. Total, la actuacion fue tremenda, y a todos que tengan oportunidad de verla, se la recomiendo. !Que viva Joe Strummer!

Last Friday, I went to see the performance of Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros at the Sun Theater in Anaheim, California, USA. I've been a fan of the Clash for 15 or 20 years, but I had the chance to see them in concert, so to see Joe Strummer was truly a dream come true. The Sun Theater is a fairly new theater. They opened the doors for the first time a couple of months ago, and since then, they have had performances by several great artists like Yes, Squeeze, and now Joe Strummer. The show carried a feeling of something very new, full of action, not an artist who has been playing for more than 20 years. I play many well-known songs (to the great public applause) like "London Calling", "Rock The Casbah", and "Straight to Hell", besides the songs of their new LP. There was a very exciting atmosphere, and at least three people from the audience took the stage, until the guards kicked them out of the theater. Something quite typical of the early days of Punk, but a bit surprising when you consider that these fans have been 30 to 40 years, or even more. There was a mixture of young people, and older people, all enjoying the music that after 20 years, still carries the same strength. Joe Strummer plays and sings with equal passion when he was 20 years old, and maybe he feels more comfortable now on the stage he felt then. Their new band, The Mescaleros, plays very well, and it shows that they have a great love for the music they are playing. Overall, the performance was tremendous, and to all who have an opportunity to see it, I recommend it. Long live Joe Strummer!
