Rating: - Great, but not their best
The problem with the Shea Stadium gig was that they were supporting a stadium rock band (The Who) and, thus, concentrated on some of their more audience-friendly tracks.

The best live Clash track I have ever heard is Complete Control. Other great lives songs include White Man In Hammersmith Palais, London's Burning and Capital Radio. None of which feature here.

Although there are some great Clash songs on here, and some are better than on the second half of From Here To ... Read More

Rating: - Set Your Face To Thrilled
After reading a caustic review of this CD in the Guardian a few days before its release I was fully prepared for disappointment.

No need.

OK, so Kosmo Vinyl's Intro is truly cringemaking, intoning Noo Yawk Siddy in finest Estuary and mouthing some banalities about the rain, but as soon as the first cords of a breakneck London Calling kick in all that's behind you.

Not that it's all plain sailing, as the point at which we expect Joe to start singing passes lyricless, ... Read More

Rating: - The Best Clash Concert Document Yet
"I don't think there's any need for another Clash product on the market. Joe Strummer would be turning in his grave if he'd seen what the band have become today. You know what the Clash originally stood for and we don't stand for that anymore. The Clash were 30 years ago. None of us are really that bothered anymore and so people are moving in and making money out of it." - Topper Headon.

It was with a heavy heart that I approached the release of The Clash At Shea Stadium. After a multitude of ... Read More

Rating: - Good set but this isn't peak Clash
Certainly worth having but this isn't peak Clash. I saw the band in '82 on the Casbah tour and while it was good to experience the Terry-Chimes-first-LP line-up back together Topper headon was always the better drummer. Chimes was an adequate drummer, Topper was ferocious and had both the licks and the flexibility. The back-line was always a bit leaden without him. Not only that but the Strummer-Jones-Simonon axis peaked live sometime before this - probably around '79. In the same way the From Here To ... Read More

Rating: - The sound of the Clash imploding
This is worth having out of historic interest alone, much like Cut the Crap, although it is rather better than Cut the Crap. The songs all seem to be too fast, like they're desperately trying to get offstage asap.

I'd seen them on the Combat Rock tour a few months earlier in the UK, and whilst that was better, they were well past their peak. But From here to eternity instead.
