Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good.
Excellent overview not only of The Clash music itself, but also good when it comes to explore the spirit of why and how the band got formed, their highs and downs. Recommended for both fans and newcomers who want to know and understand a bit more about the band's roots and about a whole era context on the recent history.
Production and packaging are just a bit simple, cheap... disappointing if compared to the contents and the extras.
Worth buying though.
Rating:  - Just OK
I am a big fan of The Clash. I can't wait for the new Joe Strummer documentary to come out. That said I watched The Ramones:The End Of the Century documentary and then this one right after. The Ramones doc was GREAT. The Clash one was just ok. I just didn't think it had enough interviews and it had annoying graphics in between each subject that were visually ok but that were left on the screen for what seemed like 30 seconds each before they began talking again.
Not a great rock documentary ... Read More

4.5 stars
The Clash became great once they transcended their punk beginnings and started writing songs with memorable melodies. Name another punk band that turned into a singles machine.

The Clash had two great songwriters who were willing to grow, and who also loved reggae, country, and many other styles, so they morphed into real musicians.

Rating: - The Only Band That Matters
This DVD could be 2 hours of Joe Strummer farting into a telephone and it would still be immensly more interesting and entertaining than anything by today's "punks".Sure, I'd rather have some full song clips, but Strummer (and Topper, Paul and Mick for that matter) make up for it. Don't watch this if you're not already fairly knowledgeable about the band and the culture at the time...many of the soundbites, without context, may seem a little confusing.But even with the abbreviated live clips, you can get ...

Rating: - Way, way less than what it could have been
I'm a huge Clash fan.I've been one since 1978, and I can't begin to tell you how much I've been wanting to get a documentary dvd on the only band that matters.So, I was excited to see this available, as well as the other dvd that highlights their videos.I bought both at the same time.Westway to the World could have been so much more.So very, very much more.While I really liked the interviews with the band members and the documentary itself, it was just too short.The lack of adequate live footage ...
