Having fired then-junkie drummer Topper Headon months earlier, the Clash that charged into Shea Stadium in October 1982 to open for the Who wasn't necessarily firing on all cylinders—not by purist standards. But with Headon's predecessor, Terry Chimes, back on the stool, it was still firing. Fittingly, the band rains 1977's stomping "Career Opportunities" down on the sold-out crowd like so many lead baseballs. "Live at Shea" rather remarkably captures the band conquering the soon-to-be-demolished stadium, turning the cold, sprawling space into a sweaty Brixton club. The Clash plays to the back row and reachs it with larger-than-life versions of favorites like "Police on My Back" (where one can literally hear how the group could have transitioned to a stadium act) and a thrilling "The Magnificent Seven"/ "Armagideon Time" funk-reggae sandwich.—Wes Orshoski
