CARRIED TO DUST by Calexico and LIVE AT SHEA STADIUM by The Clash.

I've long wanted full officially released shows (aside from bootlegs) from 
The Clash but have held off buying the Shea Stadium cd mainly because I 
thought they were very lackluster when I saw them in LA opening for The Who, 
especially compared to when I saw them before at the Hollywood Palladium at 
the very beginning of the Combat Rock tour.  Is this release worth buying 
for the casual Clash fan?  I'd love to see a official release from the NYC 
Sadinista tour stand that was originally broadcast on radio.

BTW, speaking of The Clash, the live dvd that came out this year is a *huge* 
disappointment.  The performances are all from different shows, many songs 
are cut off or otherwise incomplete and some have appeared on other home 
video releases.
