Sneak Peek - The Clash, Live at Shea (out 10/7/08)

Here's the trailer below for the upcoming release of The Clash, Live at Shea, from the Sony/BMG archives. Some of this footage in the trailer will already be familiar to Clash diehards who have seen the Joe Strummer doc or Westway to the World.

(And checks me out asking - Dfactor, does one also need Revolution Rock? You bet you do, if just for the fantastic footage from the Manchester Elizabethan Suite '77 show).

From the initial press release last month: "The Clash, opening for The Who on their farewell tour of the US , played two nights at the legendary Shea Stadium (12th & 13th Oct 1982). They had recently released the Combat Rock album, and the singles “Rock The Casbah” and “Should I Stay Or Should I Go” were enjoying mass audiences via MTV and radio airplay. Despite being the support act, the New York Post reported “there were as many Clash fans on those nights as Who fans.”"

I may even have this show on a bootleg CD somewhere in my collection. But owning the mastered Shea Stadium 1982 concert in one's collection will be a very nice Christmas gift for some of us.



This is the setlist The Clash played on the second night of their two-night stint at Shea, backing up The Who. Sweet, eh?
