TimeOut Chicago:

The last time the Clash played on American soil was in Uptown. Of course, most fans hardly consider this late iteration of the band the Clash. Even Joe Strummer, the one keeping the legend on life support, later felt regret for beating a dead horse. Mick Jones was out of the group, replaced by a couple pub-punk nobodies on guitar, and there was a ringer on drums, too. The Clash in name only, the band recorded the dull and pointless Cut the Crap album. The ballroom was overstuffed nonetheless.

Alternative Rock, Classic Rock, Dance-Punk, Funk, New Wave, Post-Punk, Punk, Punk Rock, Rock, British, Permanent Wave, and Reggae Rock.
