the Clash: live at Shea Stadium (finally!)

I just scammed a copy of the Clash’s Shea Stadium gig, and I have been dancing around the apartment like an idiot all weekend! Known as a terrific live group, it’s somewhat odd that’s taken 20-plus years for live material to start leaking out. 1999’s From Here To Eternity featured a great deal of tracks with Terry Chimes on drums, as does the Shea Stadium gig and the one great-sounding live bootleg, Kingston Advice. As for the wish list — how about releasing the 1978 London Lyceum gig and 1981’s Bond’s shows in some form? Bits of both performances have officially appeared on both Eternity and Clash On Broadway: so let’s give the Topper Headon-era Clash its due. bit.torrent fans, be sure to hit the download links below for plenty of live Clashness. And don’t forget to check out Mick Jones’s advice for Britney Spears after the break.
