Clash at Shea Stadium

I got a hot tip from a buddy today that The Clash is releasing (or at least the label is, I can't get the story straight) the live show from Shea Stadium on October 13, 1982. The CD will be released on October 7. Yeah, I probably should have known this back in June if I had really done my research on the topic, but can't change that now.

What the label won't tell you is that this show saw The Clash as an opener for The Who and that it technically isn't the classic line-up since Topper was replaced by Terry Chimes on drums. It's the last night of a two-night stand. The first night (also available as a boot for those who care to look for it) had incessant buzzing in the tape.

Don't tell anyone I gave you this. It's the original bootleg from the show. Sound quality isn't as good as a CD, but it really isn't bad at all.
