Oh, and I wish they would have played some Earthquake Weather more often, specifically that reggae version of Shouting Streets, Island Hopping, and Ride Your Donkey. They played SS and IH on 11/24/99, which was captured in crystal clear quality, but it isnt on the megalist. Any chance someone could upload it?
I too was always under the impression Rudie was a Mick song, but I think Joe may have surprised us. :approve:
And yes, I love that reggae version of Shouting Street, but it seems to have disappeared from my life, has anyone got it for upload?
Reggae version of Shouting Street? In crystal clear quality? Must hear.
Hell yeah, where is it!?

I think this is the show being referred to:

Edit: The reggae Shouting Street is also sampled here. Sounds cool, love to have that show.

It's MP3 sourced, but if I find it and remember to do so.

I knew it was a set opener, that's what confused me!

Too bad Joe didn't seize that opportunity during the Clash II days :mrgreen:

First time i saw Joe & Mescaleros ('99 Roseland) they played Trash City, which I was very pleased about. I swear that they played Nothin' 'Bout 'Nothin too, bu according to Black Market Clash, they didn't. hmmmm...
