Free Music Notes for Live at Shea Stadium (Snyr)
Free Music Review: I was there!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Back in 82 I waited 9 hours in line to get tickets to see The Who at Shea. By the time we got to the front of the line Oct 12 was sold out so we got tickets to see them Oct 13. They were pretty crappy seats, nosebleed. My friend and I got there during the middle of David Johansens set. Now at the time since I was only 17 I didn't pay too much attention to who the opening acts were. I have to admit that I was one of the stupid idiots who were booing the Clash to get off so The Who would come on. Years later when I started listening to The Clash and realized how good they really were I wish I had paid more attention to them. I bought The Who's Last (Live at Shea) album a few years later and realized how underwhelming there show had really been. Again what does a 17 year old know?
Listening to The Clash finally Live in all of there majesty and what I missed at that show is just amazing. I can totally understand why The Who had them on. It was a passing of the torch moment. probably an even bigger if less noticed passing like when The Police passed the torch to U2. I think if The Clash hadn't imploded they may have been even bigger than U2 is today??? Maybe? Anyway.
I've been listening to this pure joy of power a week before it comes out on Vh1 The Leak. Now I'm not going to try to disseminate this product. (It's fantastic) But I will point out just a few things. All of the songs sound great and the production is spectacular. It was engineered by Glyn Johns who also did The Who's Next. I love this live version of Rock the Casbah. I always thought RTC was just a little commercial, but this version sounds pure punk raw!! And when Joe Strummer rants on the crowd after Clampdown I feel like it's the first time anyone ever gave me the finger where I really deserved it!!
Well 17 is 43 now, Joe Strummer is gone and there tearing down Shea soon. But I'll always have my memory and ticketstub for Oct 13,1982 Now 26 years later I have another great addition to the memory of that great day!!!!
Live at Shea Stadium (Snyr) Poster
Recorded at New York's Shea Stadium in 1982, Live at Shea Stadium captures the band at the peak of its powers and on devastating form. Bristling with energy and attitude, Live at Shea Stadium is destined to feature alongside James Brown at the Apollo, The Who at Leeds and Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison as one of the greatest live recordings of all time!The Clash, opening for The Who on their farewell tour of the US, played two nights at the legendary Shea Stadium (October 12th and 13th of 1982). Despite being the support act, the New York Post reported "there were as many Clash fans on those nights as Who fans."
