The Move Festival.
Supporting Paul Weller and Ian Brown [Stone Roses]

Audio recording

A very good audience recording.

The following was taken from the OC Register.

Joe Strummer is the sort who needs a good half-hour to warm up, so it wasn't surprising that he and his fitful Mescaleros were just hitting their stride by the time they trailed off with "Bank Robber" and a cover of Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side." That was a crowd-pleasing but curious choice, given that Strummer dipped into the Clash catalog for only a handful, and two of them ("Police on My Back" and "I Fought the Law") weren't originals. But accented by Martin Slattery's dead-on re-creation of the song's sax solo, it worked, as did jaunty readings of "Rudie Can't Fail" and "Johnny Appleseed". It wasn't Strummer at his most impressive, yet he was downright riveting compared with the rest of the bill.

DAY 3
PAUL WELLER / IAN BROWN / JOE STRUMMER / SHED 7 / HAVEN

As we said last time we saw Joe Strummer and the Mescaloros
he say's more in one song than the Manic Street Preachers have said in their whole career. And unlike fellow Move performers Weller and Brown his contemporary material basques in its own other worldly genius where punk and reggae hold hands as they should rather than prancing around like Less Than Jake. With the fist in the air call to arms that is "I fought The Law", the laid back reggae of "Rudi Gonna Fail" through to a new song "Get Down Moses" which has world music written all over it yet never gets too close to Andy Kershaw to really offend. The Clash were always the thinking mans punk band and while John Lydon has just become rent-a-gob for a few shoddy award shows, Joe Strummer can sleep easy that he's still producing music more relevant than 90% of the kids today.
