I paid £75 to see them playing their first two albums, and had I known that's what the tour was about I'd have given it a miss. It was basically a tour to give Brian James a few quid as he's not in the best of health, but what pissed me off is the band wanted him to learn the guitar chords of a few popular crowd pleasing tracks after he'd left the band but he bluntly refused.The Damned are releasing a DVD of their reunion tour. The Manchester date.
I didn't go cos I didn't wanna pay £60 but the very same night I saw 999 at Star and Garter for £10!

I honestly believe that 'Alternative Ulster' was the pinnacle of punk songs...Stiff Little Fingers in Custom House Square Belfast 17th August. Supported by the Skids and the Damned. Reliving my youth.

I was there at the Apollo as well. I've got to say the sound was the worst I think I've heard at a Damned gig. The CD was far better but you pay for the overall performance not pay again to hear it properly. i didn't have a problem with just the first two albums as I only started watching them on the Strawberries tour and by then it was mainly New Rose and NNN.I paid £75 to see them playing their first two albums, and had I known that's what the tour was about I'd have given it a miss.

I'd have been happy to see 999 again tbh.
Yeah I agree, I too thought the sound wasn't the best. Although I enjoyed seeing them as the original line up i came away feeling underwhelmed and don't think it was worth the money.I was there at the Apollo as well.

Looking forward to the Deecember gig though with Strawberries and The Bleck Album taking centre stage. Paul Gray will be able to manage all the others as well.
So what ? ; )
Seen SLF five times in the early eighties. Good memories. Seen the Skids at the Academy last year with my 36 year old son.I honestly believe that 'Alternative Ulster' was the pinnacle of punk songs...
