A new officially authorised autobiography The Clash by The Clash, the story of the band in their own words, is also to be unveiled on October 3.

Compiled from extensive interviews with Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon originally recorded for the documentary Westway to The World, the book will be available through Atlantic Publishing.

Talking about the Shea Stadium show, Strummer said: "We played Shea Stadium with The Who and it was fun to play Career Opportunities in a place like that, when six years earlier we’d written it in Camden Town" whilst Simonon recalled hanging out with The Who.

He said: "During the Shea Stadium gig and other dates of that tour, Pete Townshend would come into our dressing room and we’d have a game of football. At Shea he said come back to our dressing room, so we did and there was (Roger) Daltrey and all these miserable gits sitting around who wouldn’t talk to us. So Pete (Townshend) came back to our dressing room with us."
