The Clash - Live! (Finally)

Those bemoaning the current state of popular music (the line forms just behind me) can take a moment and relax.

Epic/Legacy has just announced that they will finally release "The Clash Live at Shea Stadium". The CD comes out on Oct. 7. There will also be a new Clash book coming out in November, "The Clash by The Clash."

This soon-to-be classic CD captures the band's Oct. 12th and 13th shows, opening for The Who's farewell tour, (as recounted in numerous bios on The Clash and Joe Strummer).

Here's the track listing:

1. Kosmo Vinyl Introduction


2. London Calling


3. Police On My Back


4. Guns Of Brixton


5. Tommy Gun


6. The Magnificent Seven


7. Armagideon Time


8. The Magnificent Seven (return)


9. Rock The Casbah


10. Train In vain


11. Career Opportunities


12. Spanish Bombs


13. Clampdown


14. English Civil War


15. Should I Stay Or Should I Go


16. I Fought The Law

The band was on the road promoting Combat Rock, at the time. This record is a must buy for any Clash fans - casual or die hard -and required listening for any up and coming bands who think punk rock started with Green Day and Blink 182.
