RIP Annie Nightingale 🙏🏻. Loved the Damned and their fk you attitude!
It has to be said Rat Scabies is very much missed in the Damned.
No Rat, no Damned, as far as me and many others are concerned, mate.
@@wolfenstein6676 Thanks. I only own the records with him in it. I went and saw them in 1997 Astoria the place was packed/rowdy , I was standing at the back & they had a guy on drums who l initially thought was Rat Scabies & by the 1st number it was apparent it wasnt Scabies. To be fair whoever it was , he was a decent player but Scabies had too much of a signature sound. I had no internet back then so I would have no idea that Rat had left the band. I never bought into those rock musician Drummer jokes . Your band is only as good as your drummer.
@@nasskhan4543 Yep, the drummer they have now is good too, but he's not Rat and as you said, lacks the signature sound, the original true punk drumming style, that Rat has. The line-up I'd love to see, even if it was just for one tour, or even one new album, would be Dave on vocals, Paul on bass, Rat on drums, Monty on keyboards with Brian and the Captain on guitars. Depending on which song it was, they could take turns at playing lead guitar, they're both top class, so it's a win/win for all Damned fans.
Machine Gun Etiquette II, we can but dream, eh :) ?
Still playin well....just missin the best drummer since Keith Moon....Mr. Rat Scabies...Mr. Damned, since he's been missin yer fk all !!! N this is from a Damned diehard from age 12, & the keyboard in the early tunes sounds fkn terrible
@@wolfenstein6676 I disagree no Captain No Damned. There's no doubt Rat was a strong character and drummer in the Damned. But the Jack and the beanstalk line up proves that was NOT the Damned. Plus he wouldn't be able to keep up with them these days.
Glued to the whistle test every week
Drunken, sloppy deranged brilliance - exactly why I fell in love with punk in the first place.
The day after this was aired. High school corridors were insane in my Edinburgh high. Kids spinning like Dave. Mayhem. WONDERFUL. Love you Damned.
I love Captain Sensible he is my favorite guitarist of all time.
absolutely the best of your series yet! thanks for doing these..
Shambolic . Brilliant. And Algy sounds great...
We saw them the day after this performance.. absolutely brilliant
I remember watching this as a kid.
Watching Rat Scabies flailing about, a fucking blur behind his drum kit, I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
Watching Captain Sensible go from bass to keyboard blew my mind, and even though this video cut out the keyboard solo with the Cptn's voice-over, the image of him playing it, bending over the keyboard, is proper etched into my mind.
Like The Talons of Weng Chiang, or The Children of The Stones, or those creepy public information films they used to show to scare the shit out of kids in the seventies.
See you at Nottingham in November.....
🍄
I still remember watching this performance on TOGWT in my bedroom in 79 and it's as awesome now as it was back then. True legends are The Damned, miss Rat though!!!
Good to see you looking well! This performance was hysterical - but, in a good way. Just how it all just kind of went sideways and you just about set the place on fire when you knocked the candlelabra over... 😆 Good fun to watch at least... That ending though - with Rat trashing the kit and the entire stage - very punk rock. I wish I could've met and saw you guys much earlier - but it just wasn't in the cards so to speak - I had fun at your gigs over here in the states during the "Patricia years'...
Vanian the total pro. Sees his keyboard chucked about and keeps singing.
Is it true that The Captain is going to appear on the reverse of the new ten pound note (with pal Charlie on the front)? Should be the other way round -- with The Captain on the front! :0)
Always Happy to hear the Captain Talk !
I think this episode of OGWT aired just before me and my mates went to see The Damned for the first time, December 1979. We were delighted when the good Captain announced "We're a punk band" because at that time bands and personalities were starting to deny being punks.
Good to see heavy rocker Algy wearing his Motorhead t-shirt, I saw him a couple of years later playing with Tank supporting Motorhead !
I could be wrong but I think Algy was out of the band by December '79 -partly due to a walking off stage incident at West Runton in june '79 ( possibly explaining Lemmy playing bass on just can't be happy today b side...'Ballroom blitz')
I think this footage was originally shown earlier in the year -( but late december/ early Jan OGWT had a 'best of the year' highlights programme..
Tanks 'he fell in love with a storm trooper' is a great track
@@andchat6241 Love to hear more about Algy walking off stage in June 79. I never heard that one before !
@@shintoSNR...I'd like to know a bit more myself ..as i saw them a month or so before the West Runton gig with the Ruts (on June 8th) ..A friend did go & said about a problem with the bassist . I then forgot about it until I saw the Damned at West Runton the following year(with Paul Gray on bass).During the gig Sensible said (approx) "it's better than the last time we were here ,when that fat bastard f*%!*d off half way through"...
The tour had another 8 nights to go including Hemel Hemsted on the 10th & the Top Rank ,Sheffield on the 11th - if they didnt play these it would seem to back up there was a 'problem' - if they did play them then whatever happened at West Runton was just another 'day in the life' (of ongoing chaos) that was The Damned...
@@andchat6241 Wow! I was at the Damned/Ruts gig at W Runton on June 8th! 15 years old, one of the best gigs of my life. Thanks for the memory
maybe not June 8th, but at W Runton
Anyone know if the story is true about the silver tape around Dave's hand?
ie, it was to stop the intoxicated DV from dropping the mic.
mistymisterwisty Jones I’d love that to be true!
@@vermilliongecko I've just found the passage in Kieron Tyler's book about it.
Yep, apparently after almost a full day drinking whisky and coke, 'Dave was so drunk his hand was gaffer-taped to the microphone to prevent him dropping it'.
Rat was on 'powders'.
I remember watching this, back in the day,,, It was effing fantastic. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The playing is great, but maybe the drunkenness shows up sometimes in the backing vox.
If only Algy Ward had kept off the sauce. In fairness, the first Tank album is fantastic and worth a listen.
God bless Annie...brill
Haha! when you watch it with the knowledge that anne nightingale was pissed it is REALLY obvious haha. That poor vox! Inspiring as fuck though
I never tire of watching this as seeing this on OGWT was my first introduction to The Damned. I was only 10 years old at the time but I've been a fan ever since 😁 Cheers Cap! x
Dave Vanian was/ is as impressive and important as John Lydon as a front man. Completely different but equally impressive.
I heard the Pistols 1st but the Damned appealed to me more as a teenager. & of course they delivered more.
I agree 100%
Agreeing as hard as I can.
Glorious.
The Damned, OGWT and Annie, fantastic🍻
40 years later... The best band ever... I'm happy today...
Incredible!
I understood Special up!
Where is Paul Gray?!
Oh my God I heard him! And he looks pretty damned good!
Was it really 2 yrs since i watched this.
It worked out quite well, actually
Three times?
That reminds me of my early days in Punk Bands. A string busts, too loaded, PA didn't work, no sound check, etc, you make the best of it, have fun or both, Punk Rock!
I literally just came across this for the first time 3 days ago.
OMG, the best thing ever!!!
Rip Algy and Annie.
Algy: "I know I left the Saints because they were a bunch of boring old farts, but wtf?"
Wot a ffing rotter...Gettin drunk with the rather attractive presenter...The pitfall of showbizz....
RIP Algy Ward
Anyone know why THE DAMNED have been removed from the MARC BOLAN tv show?
Loved them when they played Eric's in 1978 ,my first proper punk gig 🖤😎
"The studios are haunted by The Who"! Goddamned right they are. #KeithMoon #PeteTownshend
How much would a vox continental set you back these days?
Iconic !!!
Rip annie you introduced so many great punk bands on the ogwt pure ledgend and the damned made that show that night :)
Erm, Annie Nightingale is still alive....
@@chrisduncan7954 Well, that aged badly...
now that i know she's pissed i can tell the signs are on her face and her coordination is not all there.... ntrue lol, thanks, they don't come often these days
Goes down in history as a piece of the Damneds great stories.never let us down.anarchy chaos and destruction
Great guitar sound from the Captain - really rough.
Greetings from down under.
What a fkn embarrassment. No wonder Algy left .
Annie Nightingale...last of the great DJs..
I love the damned me like , a proper punk band that you can get pissed and jump around like a lunatic when their music is playing. 👍especially neat neat neat, my fave damned tune.
Ta, for the backstory, makes a lot more sense now! Thought it was just a lark until I saw the look on Rat's face (about 6:56 in this video). I remember thinking at the time, "bloody hell, they mean it!" _ thought he wanted to pulverise either the camera, the cameraman or both!
Classic. Loved this when I first saw it on TV on the OGWT. Capt S smoking and playing at the same time.
Thanks again, any chance of doing a video on your relationship's with other bands from that 76-79 era.
One of my favourite live performances!
Rat🐀smash it up Scabies⚡🥁🔨. One of Punkrocks best Drummers ♠️🔥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw this that night the greatest punk band of all
This Is the first time I've seen them do the two song after each other. Me and a mate watched and recorded the best of the year ogwt on video.We immediately fell in love with the Damned's performance during I just can't be happy today. When we heard it on the album.we we were disappointed 😧
This lineup was the first time I saw you perform. It was at Grannies club in Cardiff and I would have been about 14 or 15 , thank god for Cardiff’s lax entry rules.
I went with Richard Hayes who was managing a local band called Victimize and who had gotten the support slot on this gig ...Victimize had future members Bryn Merrick and Roman Jugg who once you had buggered off to become a professional cockney made the Damned a 50% Welsh band.......there’s lovely isntit
Cymru am Beth!
The who could afford to trash their gear...the damned couldnt.
This was the first time I saw the Damned. I went to see them live many times in the 80's and 90's, some of their gigs at the Hammersmith Palais will always be remembered as highpoints in my life. Thanx for those Nights!
We were promised Paul O'Grady.
“Three times” - Dave. Still the best footage apart from The Cramps at Napa Institute for me.
Scabies looks like he's going to do a murder when he's standing there at the end...
he certainly murdered the kit! :D
Great thank you!
Was at school band watched it in the evening - brilliant album
captain i think i love you
I REALLY EJOY WATCHING THIS JAJAJAJAJA
Wonderful
When they started playing I was thinking this isn't Smash it up is it? No way....is it? Holy shit it is🤣
Algy!!!!
Captain Sensible, I've loved the Damned since MGE. I was a couple of years younger. I really enjoy these Damned Show episodes. All of them. Why can't you let Rat Scabies and Brian James be part of it too? I'm older; we're all older. Can't you all (I live in the USA) also include interviews etc with Rat and BJ. I mean...come on... we're all older. Let bygones be... I'm sure that fans would love to hear their side of the stories too.
Smashing the gear up just enough to be able to play it again.
Aye, man, it wasn't trashed as The Who would've. Good bit of Damned legend this, though.
Anyhows, that performance of Smash It Up (which they didn't really here), is rougher and faster due to no keyboards.
Love their own sound. It's a different one to the Pistols or any other punk band. The melody is a sort of chromatic dispersion of toned going down to lower register. Very original
This intro music is bloody irritating. Who wrote it?
said captain he said what --said captain he said what-- said captain stay at home all many heroes are dying.
makes me feel good just like the 1st time magic
AWESOMENESS PERSONIFIED 🔥🖤🔥 x
He looks like lily savage
that's brilliant !!!?....
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!
the lads had had a few apparently....
Constantinoplevania
yeah but they looked great !
legendary stuff..
Sickening
Stolem
Punk comedians, great for a laugh but light weights in the scheme of things.
Fucking fantastic stuff
