How
can I possibly criticize my all time favourite band. Liverpool Academy,
Thursday 14th December 2006. Great show Great performance All the
classic songs.
Great
professionalism - Dave was 'baptised' in beer during first song (Wait
for the Blackout) But kept a smile on his face... The Captain
was right, STOP acting like morons, grow up and respect the band and
each other...
Even
a good support, Zombina and the Skeletones!! Sorry, I missed the opening
act.... However, while I was pogoing down the front with my blonde
mohican (you'd think I'd grown up by now ...43) I noticed, not for
the first time in recent years, how 'lame' the bass was. Great bass
lines like 'Love Song' and 'Ignite' were lost in the
background. Come on Mr sound man, sort it out.
Also,
the 'Interludes' in songs like 'Neat Neat Neat', 'Anti-Pope',
'Looking At You' etc have always been a feature of the Damned
set. However, they seem to be getting longer, emptier and less relevant
as the years tick by. The Damned have one of the greatest selections
of songs to go at so why 'drag out' some songs.
Anyway,
The Damned Rule and long may they continue...
I'd
go and see them anywhere.
Cheers
to all who were there, I had a great night.
