JOE STRUMMER: Video zu "Redemption Song"

Auf der Website von Anti Records kann man nachlesen, wie das Video zu der Cover-Version "Redemption Song" von Joe Strummer aussehen wird:

"The video begins with classic scenes of the NY skyline – the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building – then blends into familiar street-level sights and sounds of the city. Speeding taxis and screeching fire trucks fly by as a crew of graffiti artists and painters descends upon a blank wall to begin working furiously on a mural. As the artists consult a sketchbook, the screen is filled with a montage of archival photos and live footage of JOE (including The Clash at Shea Stadium and on the roof of Bonds, and never-before-seen footage of JOE STRUMMER AND THE MESCALEROS at Brixton Academy). By this time New Yorkers of all ages and ethnicities are watching the artists and listening to the song. Some familiar faces from the crowd include JOE’s friends such as Jim Jarmusch, Steve Buscemi, Matt Dillon, Jesse Malin, Cara Seymore (Adaptation, Gangs of New York), Cinque Lee (Spike’s brother and co-star, along with STRUMMER and Buscemi, of the Jarmusch-helmed Mystery Train), plus all of Rancid – Tim Armstrong, Matt Freeman, Brett Reed and Lars Fredriksen."
