I
was in the company of 3 friends for this one ..... all old punks and
veterans of Damned concerts. Great company and a great show. True
Damned fans evolved with the band and appreciate the Dark Theatre
side of the Damned along with the early punk tunes.
The
blend of music from each era was excellent...there's always a couple
of favourites that they miss out but it makes you want to go again
next time because you know the set list is regularly rotated to keep
things fresh.
Only
one complaint, don't put Monty at the back, hurling his insults at
the crowd whilst cowering behind his 'beer screen'.....get him up
front so the 'beer shower' brigade can target him easier without inflicting
unnecessary dampness to Dave and the Captains fine attire.
Already
looking forward to the next one.....long live the Damned.

(I
think Monty manages to get his point across very well as he does...
without the need to spoil HIS attire or keyboards! -Ed.)
Absolutely
wonderful!
I know that's not much by way of a review, but that's exactly what
it was.

Took
the 40 year old (Damned) virgin with me to see the finest live entertainment
this planet has to offer and his description of the gig was it made
the hairs on his neck stand up (and that’s with a DV at less
than 100%), what a fuckin blinder it was too.
Great
to hear songs like Nasty, Generals, Dozen Girls,
The Shadow Of Love, Dr Jekyll back in the mix. Great
venue, appreciative crowd, Monty wearing beer again (here’s a
tip Mont nobody threw any beer till you started moaning about it)
Dave got one as well which screwed his mic up but took it on the chin
and carried on, great night as always lets hope the moronic fuckin
cock suckers of the record industry wake up and smell the music and
give The Damned a record contract soon. VIVA LA DAMNED
Yours
Sincerely

It
must be Christmas, The Damned are on tour again, the xmas Damned tour
along with turkey, mince pies and drinking too much are my festive
traditions.
This was easily the best gig of the year and surpassed the two previous
tours, great set list, great atmosphere, drunken companions, if i
hadn't had to drive and Hatton had won his punch up the night would
have been perfect, still can't have everything. three xmas wishes,
1) is that the damned play Plan 9, my personal fave (and maybe Sanity
Clause next xmas), 2) a new album, they've ben going on about this
for years, The Damned are starting to make the stone roses look productive!
and 3) Monty finds his sense of humour, it's a gig, people get drunk,
idiots throw lager, deal with it (not sure
he'd agree with that! -Ed.)
