The Clash Live at Shea Stadium



Legendary punk rock band The Clash have just released a new live album, recorded at Shea Stadium in 1982 while on The Who's final tour. Apparently, fans of The Who impatiently jeered The Clash during their set, but the only reaction I could hear from the crowd seemed positive.

There's a number of great songs on the album, including "Police on My Back," "London Calling" and "Rock the Casbah," though their performance sometimes suffers from replacement drummer Terry Chimes, who joined after the original drummer was kicked out when his drug addiction distracted him from the band.
