Album Description:
Recorded at New York's Shea Stadium in 1982, Live at Shea Stadium captures the band at the peak of its powers and on devastating form. Bristling with energy and attitude, Live at Shea Stadium is destined to feature alongside James Brown at the Apollo, The Who at Leeds and Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison as one of the greatest live recordings of all time!
The Clash, opening for The Who on their farewell tour of the US, played two nights at the legendary Shea Stadium (October 12th and 13th of 1982). Despite being the support act, the New York Post reported "there were as many Clash fans on those nights as Who fans."

It's not just brilliant because it's Clash.
It is brilliant because you can rarely hear
a whole live show. It would have been classic
if Topper had been there!

Don't get me wrong The Clash were, and still are one of the greatest bands to ever be put on this planet. It has to be pretty disappointing for me to talk ill of them, but The Clash without Topper Headon, forget it.

I bought this on album and it stays on my turntable more than any other album! Great performance! I like the slightly sped up versions of Casbah and Train ...good stuff and certainly should be part of your collection. Produced by the famous Glyn Johns...produced several Who albums.

Don't get me wrong, any Clash soundboard release is reason to celebrate and I have enjoyed listening to this Shea Stadium gig but when you are talking about THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS, expectations tend to run high.
I guess I am a little spoiled but on the excellent From Here To Eternity, the smattering of live tracks on the box set and a handful of high quality bootlegs, I am used to hearing the Clash GO FOR IT. I am not used to hearing Joe Strummer sing London Calling "competently" ... Read More

This album is a lot of fun. Sure, there are some great songs not included in the set list, but keep in mind, The Clash was an opening act this night.
In the car, my three-year-old daughter insists on listening to "Police On My Back" over and over again. She loves singing the days of the week at the top of her lungs. I'll take Mick Jones over Raffi any day!
Enjoy.
