In regards to the Shea Stadium cd I suggest you run to your nearest record store (preferably Borders...where I work) ... and get a copy. That is providing you're not in the middle of a blizzard like we are in NJ. This cd is crystal clear, and hearing Joe's voice live with such clarity gave me goose bumps the first time I played it. It is a rollicking show; albeit shorter than any of their headlining shows, but I think that is part of its power. The songs are fired off one after another like cannon balls from a cannon, and each member has a chance to shine with their instruments and voices. Outstanding versions of Tommy Gun, English Civil War and (of course) the ultimate Clash moment of Career Opportunities in front of a Shea Stadium audience. Powerful stuff -- be warned, it's addictive. When I first got it, it stayed in my cd player for about a month. And when I play it in the car, I tend to miss exit signs and make wrong turns because I'm under the spell of Clash magic. Tim ---- go and get it, and you won't regret it!!!

I was most impressed with the song choice, the quality and TC's playing! Shea Stadium is surprisingly a really good CD. I was most impressed with the song choice, the quality and TC’s playing!

Had an impact on a lot of adolescents and still continues to. Too bad Salinger never wrote anything else worthwhile. Shea Stadium album well worth it.
