Coincidently there on live here in London at The Apollo Hammersmith tonight.

I think the live version has got more flavour.

I've only gotten to see them in their No-Shane period, which was still cool because it turned out to be my only opportunity to ever see Joe Strummer live. Still, I'd love to see them with Shane fronting before I get too old to stay up that late, lol.

I have that on a record, but I agree, there is no substitute for the live performance.

I blare this and The Kinks' "Father Christmas" from my garage studio.

IMHO, the two greatest Christmas songs EVER!
