About

<i>From Here To Eternity</i> amends the glaring absence from the rock canon of a live album from one of the best concert acts in rock history. Drawing from concerts in 1978, 1980, 1981 and 1982, this live compilation translates the glory and excitement of the Clash concert experience. Whether they were playing for punks at London’s Lyceum (“I Fought the Law”) or opening for the Who at Shea Stadium at the peak of their fame (“Career Opportunities”), The Clash always played like it was the last night on earth. Although it bounces back and forth through the years, the seamless blends and superior mastering give this collection the feel of a single concert even as it conveys the range of their career. Though they were always consistent, fans can trace the Clash’s peak as a live act to the group’s 17-night run at Bond’s Casino, in New York City, in May and June of 1981. The three tracks from that time (“Complete Control,” “Train n Vain,” “Guns of Brixton”) exhibit a sweltering excitement and full-bodied attack. If the band’s ascension to immortal status can be marked by a single moment, those concerts are it.
