Released just days ago, The Clash: Live At Shea Stadium is the first 'real' live album from "the only band that matters." In '99 they gave us From Here To Eternity, a compilation of live performances spanning several years and venues. This is very different, and long overdue: a complete set performance on the second and final night of the engagement as the opening act for The Who in front of 70,000 drenched fans; it was pouring rain. Yep, sounds like 1982. If you love The Clash, I don't even have to tell you what to do right now.
Addendum: I've been listening to it for about a week now, and I'm stoked. It's tight, energetic and, like the band itself, over too soon. Must-have for Clash fans.
