Wow, I am a little underwhelmed
Christopher Bushman | Portland, OR USA | 11/11/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Don't get me wrong, any Clash soundboard release is reason to celebrate and I have enjoyed listening to this Shea Stadium gig but when you are talking about THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS, expectations tend to run high.



I guess I am a little spoiled but on the excellent From Here To Eternity, the smattering of live tracks on the box set and a handful of high quality bootlegs, I am used to hearing the Clash GO FOR IT. I am not used to hearing Joe Strummer sing London Calling "competently" I am used to hearing him rip it out of his guts...



At the time of this recording, The Clash was riding an international hit record, opening for The Who and undergoing the transformation from an outstanding theater band to professional arena rockers. You have to wonder if one reason for the breakup not long after this was this band looking in the mirror and not liking what they saw staring back.



In the end the positives outweigh the negatives on this recording but only just. This record has gotten a pretty big push from the record company for an archival release so maybe the best thing that will come out of Live At Shea Stadium is that enough fans will buy it to make it worth their while to initiate an ongoing vault release program. Maybe next time we'll see something comprehensive from the Bonds Casino stand or something else from the killer Sandanista era. For that matter how about a CD + DVD of the Concert For The People Of Kampuchea show?



I can always dream."
Excellent Performance

"I bought this on album and it stays on my turntable more than any other album! Great performance! I like the slightly sped up versions of Casbah and Train ...good stuff and certainly should be part of your collection. Produced by the famous Glyn Johns...produced several Who albums."
