 A Nice Slice ofHistory November 9, 2008

This album is a lot of fun. Sure, there are some great songs not included in the set list, but keep in mind, The Clash was an opening act this night.br /br /In the car, my three-year-old daughter insists on listening to "Police On My Back" over and over again. She loves singing the days of the week at the top of her lungs. I'll take Mick Jones over Raffi any day!br /br /Enjoy.

Sorry to disagree with those who panned this, but this is my new favorite album. Second only to the serious Beatles scholar sourpuss mentality is the strict punk purist mentality, and it's out in full force in some of the other reviews here and elsewhere on the web. Yes, this is indeed very late-period Clash, and there's a lot of other stuff that, given my druthers, I'd rather hear in the set list. However, it is what it is -- they were the opening act for the Who with only an hour of stage time allotted, plus they were touring in support of (IMHO, not their best album) Combat Rock. Moreover, I have to disagree with others who feel there is a lack of energy, enthusiasm, or power. The band does get off to an uneven start, but by the middle of the set (Train in Vain and thereafter), they hit their stride. Highly recommended and a LOT of fun.

Well, I'm not sure what to make of this one. It's a mess. Best tune, "Police on my Back," worst aspect,as usual during that period, Terry Chimes on rubber drum sticks. Looking at the guy puts you to sleep. Let me start by saying that the set list is so obviously tilted toward any songs that remotely have a military bent in support of their 1982 looks, GI Joe, except for Strummer's Daniel Boone hat(??). Sort of like when KISS changes their costumes every few years. Disjointed, no energy, and what's with Strummer's bizarre rantings, almost hostile toward the crowd. Anyway, if you want live Clash at its best, go for the bootlegs "This is Radio Clash," Bonds, 1981, I was there, unreal. The Palladium 9/21/79 (the ill fated cover of "London Calling," or so they say,) The Capital Theatre show in 1980, and anything you can find before June 1981. I would also skip the new Pink Clash book. It's very heavy and can be read in one sitting in a book store, like Barnes and Noble. It also has a cheap sell out feel to it, especially with Strummer contributing posthumously. Post Clash, I was glad to have the opportunity to see Strummer perform with the Mescaleros at the Palladium, he played a few Clash tunes, and really put on a good show. If you want to hold on to some of the magic that made them the "Only band that mattered," I'd pick up "Rock art and the X-Ray Style." Nice work by Strummer and the Mescaleros. Finally, if you want a decent live disc, "From here to Eternity" is a pretty good effort. Long live the Clash!
 What do we have for entertainment? October 27, 2008

My rating: 3.5 stars.br /br /First things first: if you don't have From Here to Eternity yet, stop reading now. From Here to Eternity is the place to start. It contains performances which span the Clash's career through Combat Rock, including ferocious versions of "Complete Control" and "What's My Name." It's an essential album for every Clash fan.br /br /On the other hand, Live at Shea Stadium is a pretty good, but not great, live album. Recorded in 1982 on a tour where the Clash was opening for the Who, it documents a band in transition. Terry Chimes had replaced Topper Headon. Mick Jones was on the verge of leaving the band. Amidst all this turmoil, the Clash was playing big stadium shows for the first time on the heels of the Top 40 success of "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" and "Rock the Casbah."br /br /All these things combine to make the Clash's performance somewhat stiff and formal. Gigantic venues like Shea are not conducive to spontaneity and improvisation, obviously, but the loss of the band's musical anchor, Topper, was a near fatal blow. While Terry Chimes is not as bad of a drummer as some would have you believe (don't forget, he played on most of the Clash's classic early tracks), Topper had a much more supple and inventive style. In other words, Topper could SWING, baby! Chimes' very straightforward playing constrains the the band to following the most basic path through each song.br /br /This album is still worth picking up though. The disc has very good sound for a live recording. The Deluxe Edition comes in the form of a small hardback book which contains onstage and backstage photos from the gig and liner notes by Bob Gruen. And most importantly for collectors and completists, Live at Shea Stadium is currently the only complete live show of the Clash that has been officially released.br /br /Bottom line: if you already own From Here to Eternity and Live Revolution Rock, Live at Shea Stadium is well worth buying.
The Clash as Arena Rock Icons October 19, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
As the The Clash was disintegrating due to the drama between Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, the band was actually riding a high wave of popularity on AOR stations. br /br /And more in line with any number of arena rock acts of that era, the performance venues seemed to get larger as the personal clashes became more numbered. Recorded on the second - 10/13/82 - of two nights at Shea Stadium while opening for The Who, there are some surprisingly inspired moments in such an impersonal atmosphere.br /br /While it may not be the place to start for fans to hear the band deliver an electrifying performance, it is a great chronicle of The Clash as arena rock icons as the band members waded through the debris left by the implosion of punk rock and the battle of egos in their combat rock.
