The Clash
Live at Shea Stadium 10/7

This live disc — documenting the Clash's 1982 gig opening for the Who — offers electric evidence of a band's late-period brilliance. "The dressing rooms were bigger than some of the gigs we'd played recently," recalls guitarist Mick Jones. "We were overwhelmed with excitement." Beginning with a frenzied "London Calling," the set features songs from the band's entire career — from "Guns of Brixton" to "Should I Stay or Should I Go." Despite the victorious performance, the Clash's original lineup played just 15 more shows before dissolving in early 1983. "We really couldn't handle the success," says Jones. "Our communication was failing."
