Win The Clash Discography
To celebrate the release of their 'Live At Shea Stadium' CD and 'Revolution Rock' DVD, we're offering you the chance to get your hands on the discography of 'the only band that matters', The Clash!

Live at Shea Stadium CD
Recorded at New York's Shea Stadium on 13th Oct 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 (12th & 13th Oct 1982). Recorded by Glyn Johns, the album features the second night's performance in its entirety. Despite being the support act, the New York Post reported 'there were as many Clash fans on those nights as Who fans'. One of the few remaining unreleased Clash treasures, the recordings have long been sought after by fans. The tapes were unearthed by the late Joe Strummer whilst packing for a move.

Joe Strummer : We played Shea Stadium with The Who and it was fun to play Career Opportunities in a place like that, when six years earlier we'd written it in Camden Town.

Paul Simonon: During the Shea Stadium gig and other dates of that tour, Pete Townshend would come into our dressing room and we'd have a game of football. At Shea he said come back to our dressing room, so we did and there was Daltrey and all these miserable gits sitting around who wouldn't talk to us. So Pete came back to our dressing room with us.

Mick: Playing Shea Stadium was great. Even though we were the support act, it was still exciting, and we always prided ourselves on being able to play anywhere, from the smallest to the largest place. We shot the video there (for Should I Stay or Should I Go) .

The Clash Live - Revolution Rock DVD
Released at the same time, 'The Clash Live - Revolution Rock' features a host of rare and previously unreleased live performances and interviews. Directed by long-time Clash collaborator and Grammy-winning director Don Letts, the film follows the live transformation of the band. 'The Clash Live' Revolution Rock' incorporates footage from all phases of the band's meteoric career, beginning with live-in-the-studio clips and climaxing with a blow-out performance at Shea Stadium, audio of which appears on 'Live at Shea Stadium'.

Other highlights include performances from 1977 of 'Capital Radio' and 'What's My Name' on Tony Wilson's Granada TV show, 'Guns of Brixton' from the ABC show 'Fridays', 'The Magnificent Seven' and 'This Is Radio Clash' from a 1981 visit to 'The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder' and footage from the 1983 US Festival, the Clash's last gig with Mick Jones. DVD extras include interviews on 'The Tomorrow Show' and NBC's 'Live at Five' programme.
