The Damned live (full show) | Rockpalast | 2014

[@hdervish2497]

Man, some acts in their prime don't even sound this good. Mind blowing performance. And Dave looking so very Vincent Price makes my heart happy

[@richtudor8547]

I had to remind myself this is love and not the album. 😮

[@gazzarip]

The Damned Phantasmagoria era 1985-1990 was epic!!!!! Some of their best music and live performances!!!! Grimly Fiendish, Shadow of Love, Is it a Dream, Anything & Eloise...... simply brilliant!!! Cheers

[@ziliohneland9593]

absolutely i saw them in the time in Frankfurt Batchkapp.....

[@Martiancrisisunit]

The Damned are a bunch of freaks and I love it. This is an incredible performance!

[@banniebands]

dave sounds so, so, so, so, SO, SO GOOD

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

...and Capt. Sensible's bkgd. vox ain't too shabby, either!

[@kennylloyd7645]

They are still popular in 2020. Great music always lasts

[@SpookySammy]

And in 2024 😊

[@markcolonna6874]

Seen the damned plenty and watched lots of damned KZbin vids but this has to be one of the clearest sounds I’ve ever heard- esp of Dave’s singing Hope the damned go on for ever

[@ivanvelazco7041]

I was at this show. The Damned were the support act for Motörhead. Both bands were great that night. :-)

[@bigtwit799]

I prefer the Dnd to M'head but I'm surprised Motorhead were the support act.

Wondered why the crowd were a bit muted.Hard crowd to please

[@Franky58135HA]

@@dillanma It`s always hard for the support act and unfortunately The Damned are not that well known to the Motörhead crowd here in Germany. I really enjoyed both bands. Lemmy had always a good taste for his support acts. God bless him. :-)

[@aljustal6554]

Songs 3 through 5 are in their exact sequence from the opening of side 1 of "the Black Album" from 1980. The Damned are known for having excellent album-opening songs; of the 13 songs played here (I am counting "Machine Gun Etiquette" even though it's not listed given its link to "Love Song" just like on the album), 5 of them were album lead-off songs.

[@l.salisbury1253]

Good version of "street of dreams". What nice n ironic is this song first surfaced in 1985... and Dave Vanian is the ONLY one off that recording who's present here!

[@LObostudios19]

Kick ass, what a great show the best Punk band ever

[@niemals9837]

Most underrated band of all time, with one of the best rocksingers ever

[@andrewbarrett4276]

What a setlist, and lineup! Two masters at their type of music.

[@Md75897]

Saw the Damned live a while back, was hands down the loudest gig I've ever been to

Another underrated comment.

[@HiGlowie]

I never understood why they weren’t more well known outside of the punk listeners.

[@kukko83]

The most overused comment ever. At least one of these can be found, in the comment section of *insert band here*.

[@mariaisabelcarrillo6315]

LOve how they play the Black Album songs in order, what a gift for old fans

[@bretthernan7589]

From the underwhelmed response of the audience and the amount of Motorhead T shirts they're wearing, it's safe to say this was a support slot for Motorhead.

[@Liesl_Cigarboxguitar]

As a kid I loved ' Smash it Up' .. I loved how a band actually released a hit song about smashing things to bits 😎🤘

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

Dave's always had a superb voice, and more style in his little finger nail than most front men have in their whole bodies...

[@azevbn326]

Best band ever

[@erwinhaag7355]

One of the best bands ever

[@Mattif0]

His voice sounds so young!

[@michelmion9744]

I saw them in 1987 in le transbordeur in Lyon.There were the darkest figure of the band,Rat Scabies,who didn't accept to stay for my interview.I didn't recognize the guitar and the bass player i was young ,but who could forget the amazing Dave Vanian?Not me!They play hall and a hour,Capitaine Sensible was not there,but it was wonderfull.

[@brianbradford6570]

Love the damned, saw them a couple of times back in the day, in fact at one gig in west Runton pavilion someone behind me had threw a can at captain sensible and he stopped the show and was yelling at me for throwing it , luckily a bouncer saw the guy do it and threw him out instead of me. Phew!

My favorite moment was when the keyboardist caught the dancing bug and became the band's #1 fan in the middle of "New Rose"!!!

Al menos los descubriste con un monto de música que descubrir de ellos. Mejor tarde que nunca!

[@alfonsorodeo2432]

slap me in the face, but they are "The Doors" on speed. Fantastic!! I've known the name of this group, but never hear the music - what a big mistake. So fit like so many young boys wish to be.

[@Shikta-poobah67]

It takes a while for the mix to sort out, but once it does… Street Of Dreams has never sounded so good. No offense to Rat or Roman, but Captain really gives that song a little extra OOMPH that it doesn’t have in it’s ‘85 form, and Pinch holds the beat down perfectly. Nice way to open.

[@philshine3388]

That crowd are dead!!!!!

Captain couldn't even get a "woooah" out of them during Ignite, very poor :(

Pretty sure Dave has a Dorian Gray picture stashed in his attic. Not aged at all, even tor 2014.

I`ve followed the Damned since 1978 through all their ups and downs and numerous band members but just can`t stand the sight of this keyboard player and his idiotically cliche self-conscious "Woh,look at me,I`m your really CRAZY Uncle" act....he reminds me of all those dorkish schoolteachers who try so hard to be "down wiv da kidz maan",or "Yoof TV" presenters like "Timmy" Mallet....So naff and cringey.

[@glennsmith1353]

Mont is a brilliant guy and so nice and quiet off stage

[@arthurdent4082]

They were one of the first and even one of the best... but their time is over.....for a long time. Saw them in the mid nineties and they were as boring as here.

[@johndanielsforJesus]

Y'know, I'm only about 10 minutes in, so I still need to see the rest to be completely objective..........but I'm feeling what you said. For all the life they have on that stage, there's no 🔥!! I'm not sure what it is. Maybe they've gotten too old. Hell, maybe I'VE gotten too old, lol!! 😆 Dave and the Dammed were one of 3 "inspirations" (the other 2 being U2 and Depeche Mode) when I went through my mid to late 20's as the lead singer and business manager for a clearly unsuccessful heavy-metal band, lol. Dave was SO INFLUENTIAL to me that I "ripped off" his Phantasmagoria-phase hairstyle; long blue-black hair, with the same strip of white, like the Bride of Frankenstein. LOVED THAT LOOK!! 😍 My singing was that register, relatively baritone (much like both Daves) and served me well. But, like most bands, we were popular, but not popular to the point of having a career out of it. But "Life goes on".

[@Chris-rr5jq]

Boring boring boring replace Neat neat neat

[@juankornich2661]

[@oldschoolpunkguy1]

What are you talking about? At least half of these songs have always had piano in them.

[@Heatfarmer]

Annoying that those broadcast stations still can't do a proper mix. Its not Hansi Hinterseer, so why th efuck do they mix it like it was?
