I have Loved them since 1977 when I was 12! Finally got to see them live for the first time in 79 on the Machine Gun Etiquette tour at Manchester Apollo! I have seen them in various guises at least 14 times since and saw them again last Friday (aged 59) in Manchester 06/12/24, with probably the second best or best line up! dx
Did you know that sid vicious was going to be the singer for the damned when they 1st started lol 😆and if he did things might of turned out different for him rip sid = John Simon Richard Beverly all the best from the Stoke on trent punx and skinz 🇬🇧 👊
They sound fantastic too! Sensible even remarked about how wrong he's been in dismissing MFP for years and years...he said that the songs were really great to play and that they were totally let down by the shitty production and, not at all by the songs they wrote. He said he can't get enough of "You Know" and, I can finally make a point that I have always wanted to about my personal affection for "Stretcher Case Baby" and "Sick Of Being Sick!" I can also make my long held assertion that "You Know" is a long lost outtake from the Stooges "Funhouse" album. It has that mesmerizing and brutal awesomeness that the original Stooges had...with the massive swing of Rat and the Captain driving the song much akin to Dave Alexander and Rock Action. Cheers
Looks like a kid (?) jumping up onstage, getting beat down by security only to be revived by DV's invitation to join him. He was the perfect punk spazz !!
Everyone gets old. The point is that he is playing back with the original line up, and playing well..I think its great. He doesn't need to jump around like a Clown. That was never his thing.In my opinion, The Damned transcend "Punk", and are just a great Rock Band.
OK, I'm gonna be a dissenter in the ranks, who wasn't actually there, but: watching it on shaky youtube vids, I'm glad I didn't pay the extortionate ticket price for a reuinion that is not even close to how good the current Damned are. Great to see Rat but Brian James barely does an adequate job and they come across like a small band on far too big a stage, apart from Dave Vanian who is always great in big spaces. I love them dearly but the videos and recordings of the Halloween gig at The Palladium are far better than this. Also if you were luck enough when they played at Beautiful Days (2019, possibly) and the line-up, of the time, did a 2nd set where they played the first album, with Captain on guitar - this set positively exploded with an unbelievable energy, like a new band doing their first big gigs. Long may the Damned continue to roll and, I hope it was worth it for Rat and Brian - both major contributors to to music.
I don't miss the irony in playing Pills (a signature song of the New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders of "You Little London Boys" fame 😂) and also The Last Time by the Stones... Well, who knows? 😂 Anyway, it's a nice little nostalgia trip, but the Damned have been pretty damned good with their recent line ups, just like Brian in his own right. 👍
@Madam Cyn I know, but the Dolls and Thunders used to play it regularly and recorded their version on their first album, and they were a definitive influence on the British punk scene. :)
@Madam Cyn And Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers ' song Too Much Junkie Business was in fact nothing more than Bo Diddley's Pills ' with new Walter Lure's lyrics but credited to 'Lure & Thunders'.
This is the sound of the original Damned definitely! Drums and guitaring you just can't replicate!

Wonderful! True punk legends that never really broke up. Lov'em!

@@paul3155 I've read that. It was between him and Dave Vanian... But Sid never showed, and the rest is history. Punk history! :0)
Who says punks not dead?? I'm from 1966 and still love this 🤘🖕💪
Punk shall never die!
Damn right it won't only been 52 myself more into Oi! myself but damn these are great
Seen the Damned 4 or 5 times but would like to have seen them with this line up
Thanx for uploading plus the nice Rezillos bonus🥁🐁🎸🎸😎🎙♠️💥⚘
Superb footage along with capturing The Rezzilos is truly something to be valued! Simply brilliant
I was there, best night of the two. ;)
it was a great show
Thanks so much for posting this! i wasn't gonna pay that much to see The Damned although i'd have loved to! Plus they didn't play Liverpool :(
They're playing Birmingham tomorrow night...not too far away and we'll be going
I went to see them at Manchester it was worth every penny, I would have paid much more to see them.
Love The Damned and My God the Rezillos are still magic.
I was there!🎉
日本にも来てくれ。
Love the basic amp rig they've got, Brian with a Marshall x4 speaker doing what it was meant for!
They're a dang punk band!! They're ripping it up!!
They have mellowed. I saw this line up back in 89 on their Farewell Tour in LA. They played these songs louder and faster. Unbelievably faster.
Good to hear songs from the second album mfp. Quite nostalgic as they haven't played these for over 30 years. Still got the original album.

@@dougsmith7083 Have you heard the Tanz Der Youth version of 'You Know'?
@@twistedspanner Yes. I am a fan of all of their recordings. Also, with the 77-80 BJ "solo" releases.
Cheers

Love the Rezillos.
a lot of photographers ..bloody hell
Dave is the fucking best
Poor Brian looks so frail. Sad to see. Hopefully makes it okay to the final show.
The guy is a Rock'n'Roll guitar hero 😍
WTF You hope he makes it to the final show.😲 I hope he makes it well into old age. Whatever the case may be ???
Mate if Charlie Harper at 77 still giving at all don't see we he can't

@@graemenicol6377 Wow is Charlie Harper 78. 👍
The Captain & Dave have not aged, Scabies was more than capable but Brian James appears to have aged more than rest.

I've first heard of the Rezillos through the cover of "Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked in Tonight" by Youth Brigade
👍🏻 Fleetwood Mac mate!😲
@@clownose2831 wow! yes you are right!
It was fleetwood mac 1969 jeremy spencer on vocals
Great seeing damned not being pink Floyd
Why does Brian too carpets to stay? Is IT Juicy in stage?
No "Lovesong" though this time
That was later Machine gun etiquette
Can't hear anything.
Thought they would have played idiot box.
I live Music for Pleasure. The addition of Lu was great. my 2 cents/pence.
@@teriakamoto some good songs on it. Still have my original.
Anybody else think DV's dancing is very Cliff Richard-esque?
Well, they're both surely channelling Elvis? Hard for us to believe now, but Cliff was the UK version...
By the looks of things Brian James should never have been there the guy looks very unwell.
I agree the gig should have been 5 years earlier, but he managed and think he said he enjoyed all the gigs....they did it !
