Video: The Clash Live at Shea

The song selection, the pacing, the energy, it's all representative of a band given forty-five minutes as an opener for a huge headliner.

Vuonna 1982 The Clash oli suositumpi kuin koskaan. Bändi kiersi Yhdysvaltoja julkaistuaan hyvin menestyneen Combat Rock -levyn ja siitä irroitetut hitit Should I Stay Or Should I Go ja Rock The Casbah. Omalla tavallaan suosio ja kiertue huipentui lokakuun 12-13. päivä, jolloin The Clash lämmitteli massiivisella New Yorkin Shea Stadiumilla The Who:ta. Tämän kiertueen aikana jäsenten erimielisyydet kasvoivat ja ura lähti alamäkeen, mikä lopulta johti myös yhtyeen hajoamiseen.

• The Clash - Spanish Bombs (Live at Shea Stadium)

Live at Shea Stadium isn't just a great live album, it's one that is worthy of the group once deemed the only band that matters. It's no mistake that the Clash were once called the only band that matters.As the seventies were drawing to a close, and rock music was imploding onto itself from virtually all sides, the Clash were looked to by many as the band that was going to save rock and roll from itself.
