They're still around? Didn't Joe Strummer die?

The Clash without Strummer is like the Beach Boys without Brian Wilson.

The OP is referring to the Clash's live album, recorded in 1982 and released yesterday.

Is this live footage on DVD or just a CD?

Snazzz!!!! Thanks for the heads up...didn't know it was gonna be released. I've had a poor quality boot of the Shea Show (purportedly) for years.

Too young to make a Clash show though both my brothers went in 1981, Houston. Grrr. I did get to see the Mescalero's twice though. Amazing shows both.

You're comparing studio to live. Bottom line is, if you like the Clash, go pick this up. It's got every song you'd wanna hear, the sound is fantastic, the band is on, and the energy is palpable. I was too young to see them and didn't get a chance to see the Mescaleros, but this album is a great consolation prize.

The only bad thing about this concert is Terry Chimes pales in comparison to Topper, even a heroin addicted Topper.

The Clash is my favorite band of all time. RIP Joe Strummer

And if you haven't seen this:

definitely a must fee for Joes Strummer/The Clash fans.

Excellent documentary.

+1

After a couple listens I agree it's a great concert, albeit their is a good amount of "post production" in way of guitar overdubs and vocal overdubs compared to my bootleg of the same show. Still, essential listening for any Clash fan. The Mag 7/Armageddon Time medley, and Police on My Back are both smokin'!
