The Clash - Live At Shea Stadium 1982 Out on CD Today

Posted by jroxx on October 7, 2008

In 1982 The Clash went out on tour with The Who on their (The Who’s) “Farewell Tour.”  On October 12th and 13th the tour rolled into New York City’s own Shea Stadium.  Even though The Clash was the opening act , their fans at Shea almost matched or overtook the amount of Who fans in attendance for both shows.

Sony Legacy is finally releasing this legendary (often bootlegged) show on CD today.  This release marks the first (and only) full live Clash show officially released.  If early reviews are any indicaton, this recording is destined to take its place amongst the greatest live abums of all time.
