Shea Stadium isn't that great , it's more for historical interest rather than quality. By the time they recorded it Topper Headon was gone , the band were barely speaking to each other and it sounds like they were just going through the motions.
Even Strummer himself said they never played a good gig after Headon left the band. Plus The Clash aren't really suited to huge echoy stadiums.

If you want Clash live gigs you'd be better off finding the bootlegs for DeMontfort Hall 77 , Lyceum 79 or Bonds 81.
