Today marks the 10th anniversary of the death of Joe Strummer, the legendary frontman of The Clash — an occasion we mark in this installment of Vintage Video by presenting an hour-long concert filmed in Tokyo on Jan. 28, 1982, during the final tour to feature the band’s classic lineup (via Open Culture).
