  • Not only was it the first time in 35 years that the 1980's lineup of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray have toured together, it was also billed as The Damned’s last Australian tour - talk about bitter/sweet.
    As was fitting for the line up, the vast majority of songs played came from their earliest days, with more than half of them coming from two albums, Machine Gun Etiquette and Strawberries. They played a total of 24 songs. I recorded eight, concentrating of those I hadn’t captured before:
    The History of the World (Part 1) (00:28)
    Melody Lee (04:21)
    Stranger on the Town (06:41)
    Life Goes On (12:00)
    Shadow of Love (16:13)
    Dozen Girls (20:15)
    Curtain Call (24:36)
    New Rose (32:38)
    As to whether or not it’ll be The Damned’s last Australian tour, that remains to be seen. There is already talk of a new album. Very hard to imagine that we won’t be seeing them back here in a few years, probably not with this line up, but in some form or other.

    I have seen many many bands live, the best live gig I ever witnessed was the Damned in 1983, the one thing I remember was the drumming, just incredible, Rat Scabies, I will never forget that gig...please god, let this current line up carry on.

      Great memory. We've all moved on a little since '83 but Rat certainly demonstrated he still has what it takes on this night. Hope you get to see this line up sometime soon.

    Ladies and Gentlemen...Mr Rat Scabies
    Welcome back. Sir
    Curtain Call is evolving into the epic composition it always has been during the Vanian-Sensible-Scabies-Gray era! And, Monty takes it over the edge with his keyboard wizardry.
    A shorter set...but, a stellar one fer sure

    • @Peter_LiveMusic
      @Peter_LiveMusic  4 месяца назад +1

      I was hoping for something special from 'Curtain Call' and Rat didn't disappoint. Yes, Monty's keyboards definitely add another layer to it.
      In case you think what I've uploaded here was their entire set, it wasn't. They played a total of 24 songs, a very decent length by anyone's calculations. You can find the entire setlist here:
