Just fantastic!

[@barnoidbatno3607]

Pure cabaret, theatre, punk, power, pantomime, horror, happiness. It just doesn’t get any better

What a crushing performance! Not many bands can will keep true to the original spirit and sound while giving an entertaining stage performance and instrumentation. One of a kind band still doing what they love.

[@harvey1954]

Like the Beatles the Damned did what good bands do, evolved. You can only pull the same rabbit out of the hat so many times.

Thank you for sharing this!

[@biaspoint70]

Dave Vanian, One of the best voice of ever, Curtain call maybe the best and original their song

[@Chickentender77922]

This is WONDERFUL! And to see Emily Vanian preforming along aide her father: Beautiful ❤️

[@kennynonymous]

Beyond brilliance. What an inspiring performance, one of my favorite songs by the band. Here's to another 40+ yrs!

[@robertroberts2666]

Amen!

[@coventrypunx1014]

Always been my Favourite Track of theirs .

[@adrianbSept29]

When I’m in heaven or hell I just want to listen to the damned

Awesome they are getting better and better

[@kevcatnip7589]

[@patrickryan5570]

That was absolutely brilliant - Curtain Call is totally epic - I love it...

[@chrissolbe5752]

Prog punk - unmatched and timelessly brilliant

Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm crying 7,500 freaking miles away.

[@eastoe21]

Nice to see Father and daughter together

[@krimewaveuk]

Filthy pervert.

[@liamwilson42]

Easily the best Curtain Call ever. I always loved the one from the Ace Brixton in 1982 , but this tops it. It's even better than the Black Album version. Unbelievable!

[@Mr.Steve-O]

The only UK punk that ever meant anything to me. Have seen them 9 times now between 1980 and 2022, always great live and true to form

[@andiestewart7423]

I have to see this band before I die!!

[@robertroberts2666]

Iam an adolescent teenager once again, swigging flagons of Brains Dark Ale in the park with my Muckers while a mate's master-blaster fills the air with strains of classics like this and Plan 9 Channel 7 etc

[@lindasmith6316]

Love this!! Dave Vanian Forever!! :[

[@davy50g55]

Grey, Burns, Miller & Letts.... the best

[@barnoidbatno3607]

Bloody hell, punk, pantomime, horror, pop, goth, burlesque, nobody but nobody tops that!

[@johnbarry1965]

I always wanted to be a vampire when I was a kid but now I just like The Dammed. "Night obliterates the Day and all the fun begins" what a couplet!!

ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜

Best Curtain Call ever!

[@mikeymumblesreal]

Had to look at that frgn date over and over. Omg. They sound incredibly brilliant, again. Jesus H. Omg. Don't ever stop fully. You've created a part of the world we need. Oxygen for us.

[@treeclimbingplanet4608]

punk rock opera, thanks for posting

[@gmantramp404]

Damned handed in their punk cards back in 79 midway through the machine gun etiquette album and haven't been a punk act since then.

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Great phantastic!

[@joshgordon8941]

That was absolutely amazing

[@stevewingate3023]

Thanks Automorph, I couldn't make the show, so appreciation is due.

[@JSayer]

Amazing performance, I loved how they took on an almost reverse Romeo & Juliet scenario... Well... That was my take on it anyhow...

[@markgilham2453]

Pure class

[@geozeo710]

Now that was tremendous!

[@kevinwhitaker119]

I f@#en love this song it will take you on a trip ...into punk, Goth, physcidellia, classical, .... Without actually dropping a trip...!! Yeah I saw them play this song in Plymouth Devon a few years back ..and I was dumbstruck...!! I've been into PUNK ROCK since 1978 and everytime I see THE DAMNED I'm amazed how good they are every show a winner...!!! 🍺😊👍🇬🇧🍀🏴🏴🅰️🏴🏴 big UP to the PUNX...!!

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

I like the hats

[@wescooley34]

Seen them do this on the black album tour one off the best gigs ever just love this song its goig to play me off when im in my wooden overcoat ;)

[@PuckSlappy]

Fantastic! Oh what I wouldn't pay to have that on DVD!!!

[@johnbarry1965]

Just been released as a boxset!!

[@rottensquid]

It's 2019. I first heard of the Damned in the mid-80s. Maybe it's time to get around to investigating them.

[@RoCkHeAd316]

They will change your life dude they're simply amazing.

[@studiocutie]

Duuuude… Enjoy your investigation!

[@alc6276]

Thanks for posting. Love The Damned.

[@stuartseabrave5041]

Stunning performance, love it.

[@JSayer]

Thanks for posting up, we were there, but in the Upper Tier and didn't get to see all this detail

[@marceloarriagada444]

Great voice 👌

[@Nazz1967]

absolutely love this .what a fantastic version .

[@ShadSimm]

Nazz 1967 As great as Brian James was if he didn’t leave the band it’s unlikely they would have taken this direction. It’s a brilliant song.

[@brucering1190]

Amazing!

[@lauralewis5726]

Wow Emily looks more and more like her Mother!

[@johnbarry1965]

Thought she would have been called Claudia!!

[@kelb6073]

Dave is a beast

[@mack1541]

Got the double album for this concert A Night of a Thousand Vampires, brilliant album and yes it gets played LOUD.......got to educate the neighbours on the fineries of Mr Vanian's voice

[@BatEatsMoth]

I hope I get to see them live before they call it quits.

[@kelb6073]

SAME! Once bands start playing shows again, I'm seeing them when they go back out.

[@gmantramp404]

Yeah. Well they quit writing decent punk decades ago 👎

[@BatEatsMoth]

@@gmantramp404 They became a gothic rock band in the '80s.

[@vortexeyes]

Goosebumps!!! 5:55 >>

[@davidk6271]

Blimey, what’s with people getting up and walking out? Jeees

[@TheChadTI]

The people getting up and walking around for a beer/pee/whatever didn't deserve to be there.

[@gmantramp404]

I was glued to my seat during the performance,..,... Otherwise I'd have left 🤘

[@JSayer]

But it sounded amazing, being higher up

[@elabuelojudas9361]

Guau!! guau!! guau!!!

[@aggviralbenbow834]

I’ll second that Kev!

[@lauralewis5726]

This has to be truly one of the best. And they did do a good job hiring Yury Revich - hell this kid plays the hell out of his Stradivarius and Emily she's gotten so big and talented as well - good chance you'll be seeing her make her mark on the music scene - funny to watch Dave shoo him off of the stage though 🤣😂

[@Watfordfc2030]

From my home town of Hemel Hempstead mr vanian was a graveyard digger for the council

[@johnbarry1965]

Might be a few empty, lol

[@Westcoasttrendkill]

I wonder if they filmed the concert?

[@davidwaterhouse2552]

Amazing pUnK Band, that I have seen almost as many times as Buzzcocks! Dave Vanian is The King of Goth! dx

[@cherylchaison5085]

I love the way they are dressed in Victoria era clothing it becomes david lol

[@twistedspanner]

Fred Burns should have got his and his mates' camcorders out and placed them at different angles of the Palladium and filmed it all. If he could do the fantastic Johnny Moped Documentary film ' Basically' he could have filmed and edited this too into a fantastic bit of Psychedelic punk rock theatre.

[@philipusher4282]

That must have been worth the ticket price alone. How much did you guys pay, I'm guessing about £50?

[@wabberjacky9951]

Why was no one spiting at them on the stage I thought this was curtain call live🤔

[@michaelkennedy5126]

the same guy who left during Blackout left again at the beginning of this clip. Unlucky curry? IBS? WTF brah?

[@Automorph]

Frustratingly that happened a lot throughout the show and he wasn't the only one. I can't understand how people prioritised getting a drink over enjoying the whole theatrical spectacle. There was an interval so they didn't have too long to wait for bar or toilet! And don't get me started on London crowds' greater tendency for talking throughout the performance, even the quieter bits!

[@vermilliongecko]

@@Automorph Anyone who couldn't wait for a drink / the loo who didn't have a medical problem and kept walking up and down the aisle should have been dealt with by Doctor Haze....

[@deeder2000]

Who was the daughter; was it the woman playing the violin?

[@alicespunkcorner]

Yeah, "the woman" is Dave's 15 year old daughter Emily!

No, the one playing keyboards! i'll get me coat.......
