[kj] Big Audio--Dynamite?

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Yes, saw them at The Roxy recently for my first time and they were great!  
They played pretty much old stuff then that BAD II crap! Mick was having a 
great  time. About Jones getting the boot from The Clash is.... Joe Strummer 
really  regretted that and wanted to get Mick and The Clash back together 
again after  that failure of putting a new band back together and that shity 
album  "Cut The Crap". But by this time Mick was already established with BAD 
and that  was not going to happen. He regretted kicking Mick out and could 
see what he was  trying to do and liked it. Also, I'm sure you know this?... 
Joe Strummer wrote a  lot of songs with Mick and co-produced the "No. 10 
Upping St." album. Mick just  wrote too he will be releasing un released 
recordings that they did together  soon as well. Here....

Has  anyone seen the big 2011 BAD reunion tour? (I know they played the  UK 
before the US). This will be their first US tour in 21 years. I  saw them 
several times
in Boston back in the days and it was always  fun (although BAD II sucked 
b/c they were obsessed with house music). From the  youtube clips it sounds 
like they're
focusing more on the rock sound  than the disco one (after all, isn't that 
why Mick got fired from the  Clash?).
And for all the greatness of BAD, try watching a clip back to back  w/a 
Strummer and the Mescaleros one. There is no comparison in terms of  Strummer's 
direct,
pure emotional impact. There's even a clip of Sprinsteen  (considered one 
of the greatest live performers in the history of rock)  covering "Coma 
Girl", and it sounds
quite lame compated to the  orignal.
