Recorded at New York’s Shea Stadium in 1982, ‘Live at Shea\nStadium’ captures the band at the peak of its powers and on\ndevastating form. Bristling with energy and attitude, ‘Live at Shea\nStadium’ is destined to feature alongside James Brown at the\nApollo, The Who at Leeds and Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison as one of\nthe greatest live recordings of all time. The Clash, opening for\nThe Who on their farewell tour of the US, played two nights at the\nlegendary Shea Stadium (12th & 13th Oct 1982). Recorded by Glyn\nJohns, the album features the second night’s performance in its\nentirety. Despite being the support act, the New York Post reported\n“there were as many Clash fans on those nights as Who fans”. One of\nthe few remaining unreleased Clash treasures, the recordings have\nlong been sought after by fans. The tapes were unearthed by the\nlate Joe Strummer whilst packing for a move.
