Shea Stadium lives on via Clash concert


October 07, 2008 Now that Shea Stadium is closed for business, New York Mets fans are able to buy mementos from the venue that housed the 1969 "Miracle Mets" and an improbable 1986 World Series comeback. Shea had a rich musical history, too, and one of those memories is now for sale: a recording of the Clash's concert there on Oct. 13, 1982, as the opening act for the Who. The band had a few radio hits by then, such as "Rock the Casbah," "Train in Vain" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go," and each was hauled out to impress a stadium-size audience, most of them fans of the headliners.
