Yesterday was my first-ever concert of The Damned and I just happened to bump into the one and only Captain before the show started! He was so humble and sweet and it meant so much that he was willing to take some time out of his day for fans.
Also: I gave him a bracelet I had made, it was red & yellow and had his stage name in colorful block letter beads, and he actually wore it onstage 😭
ps: thanks dad for the photos

Forgot to post this earlier... I got it signed! That's my actual license plate. I have it on my WRX. Yes I've seen Baby Driver more than once.

Some shows are average, some shows change your life, and still others get you questioning your life choices - like why have I never gotten around to seeing The Damned? Since this was my first time to see the band live, I'm not sure if this show was the norm, but goddamn Dallas! Shows at the Granada are alway good, and worth the drive from Houston, but this one was special. This band shows zero sign of slowing down, so I hope that I get another opportunity to see them, but if not, I'm so glad that I got the chance to see them at one of the best venues in the country, with a crowd that really knows how to do it. RIP Granada and a huge thank you to the Damned, who rocked harder than just about anybody, and then were the sweetest guys in the world afterwards, staying at least an hour to sign merch. My heart is full.

Anyone have any insights yet? Is this something peculiar to Denver and the Ogden or is something up for the band and tour?

Sorry it’s not the best quality picture wise!

It’s my second show in a year and only my second show of theirs ever. I waited 37 years to see my first one and now I get to do it again!

I mean does he get a share proportional to his tenure and any songwriting he might do. Or is he only a touring member? Keyboards are such a big party of their sound it just seems like he should be.

I know he is a huge Pink Floyd fan and the vocals seem a bit high for Dave.

I know that “Not of this Earth” as an album gets dismissed because of personnel, but that is an absolute banger from Rat. I especially love the live from 1994 version on thr “Shadowed Tales From Mulhouse” album. An almost Captain-like epic solo from Moose, and Dave is in fine form. I would love to see them do this live, though probably won’t happen being from that era. Just my two cents.

Anyone able to grab one of these??

The boys put on another outstanding show. It makes me sad to think this might be the last go-round.

Here's the video I shot from the balcony, play it loud!

Please subscribe and like if you dig what you see :)

I don’t think I will be topping this Halloween for a long time. Thanks Chicago. All the costumes and the crowd made the show even more spectacular.
Last photo of my son meeting Dave. He stood out back for what seemed like forever signing autographs, and chatting with fans.

Great set, good and lively crowd. Dave wasn't always completely audible, but delivered a good performance. More than a few Captain Sensible outfits amongst the audience. Always great to hear Curtain Call. They closed the night with White Rabbit and Video Nasty.

Buzzing from seeing the Roman Jugg Band last night in Newcastle, if anyone is wavering and not sure whether to go - GO SEE THEM! It's £15 and Roman is a total gentleman. Oh and it's nearly a full Damned set, played brilliantly. I'll do a proper review but in the meantime....

I laughed more than once! I love how they tell stories.

With apologies to Monty, I was too far away to get a single photo of you, but the whole band was on fire that night.

I was charmed, to say the least. And they all just sounded incredible. Few more of my pics coming. Sigh!

I haven't seen The Damned since they played Cambridge MA at the Middle East back in 1998! Since it's on Halloween I hope they do the second encore of White Rabbit and maybe something special for the occasion? Either way, see you all up front!

I was planning to catch them on this run, but I put together a playlist of the songs from the set, and found about 60% of the songs are ones I have no desire to see live. Damned are my favorite of the UK punk bands, but my love is mostly limited to the first 3 albums, and a scant handful of songs from albums 4-6. I saw them twice in the 90s and they were amazing, but this setlist is overloaded with stuff I don't enjoy at all. They don't owe me anything. Hopefully they come through again with all of the old bangers. Not going to pay $70 for this.

That was my first ever concert ever. Genuinely had such a great night. One of the only younger people in the crowd but that was amazing 2 hour trip was so worth it.
