The Damned- LA Woman "Studio Version" full song

[chainrelease]

GALAXIES beyonds the rest, The Damned are the number one.

Remember this on Whistle Test as a 'studio report' from the recording of Anything. Back to the studio and Sting was a guest and said something about Rat being a really great drummer nowadays. As for most of this video it's taken from the 1980's The Doors video compilation 'Dance on Fire'. I seem to recall Ray Manzarek made the LA Woman latterly.

Awesome vid...

[primate1234]

Saw them perform this on whistle test and then at finsbury park and really thought it was going to be a single or on the album (anything), they missed a chance of a big hit in my opinion. Billy Idol got it in the charts a few years later.

Never cared for The Doors until I saw The Damned perform this one at the Santa Monica Civic back in 1984? Great video...never thought I'd hear The Damned perform this cover again..

[dannykaye40]

the best cover i've heard without a doubt. Captured the true spirit of the song

[infocado]

I wish this was released 

[Kelly14UK]

Why this wasn't released in 86/ 87 is BEYOND ME.

There was room for it on the Anything single and the B side they gave us was well below their usual standards. But that's just my opinion.

Saw them do this at Finsbury Park.

[beanpunk]

@Kelly14UK totally agree! Anything album was pretty poor too to be honest...and i love the damned!!

[samhain66]

@beanpunk I'm a huge Damned fan and its by far my least favourite album, Some of the tracks are ok but the production leaves a lot to be desired., it could have been a hell of a lot better !

[infocado]

This was always great live - wish it would come back to the set

[silverghost99]

Great Job, NEver heard the full version of this before, shame it never made the anything album.

[ZLUGGO]

Also available with Billy Idol.

[RealitysTyranny]

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING GREAT!

[pe4cefrog]

oh my godddddd!!!!!!!!!!! the damned and the doors! an orgasm! wow xxxxx

[alphabetgreen1996]

The Who should think very carefully about recruiting Rat Scabies. He's the only drummer on the planet who could replace Keith Moon.

[betaville72]

You aint heard me!

[tubeface08]

What more do you need really??? The Damned do an Awesome cover of The Doors and it's got The GORGEOUS Dita in the vid.All i can say is well done that man/woman for posting this long live The Damned!!!! .

[ZLUGGO]

@tubeface08

I miss Patricia Morrison though. I think she's prettier than Dita. Dita is a cliché.

[primate1234]

Why did they never release this?? I think most fans at the time thought they would after them singing it in their live set and on OGWT and I was bitterly dissapointed when it didn't appear on the 'Anything' album- Billy Idol beat them to it a 2-3 years later and had a minor hit.

[musicofsounds]

Brilliant!

[Deuteronomy100]

in a strange way this may sound stranger than the strangest thing,,but what happened to the Vanian/Scabies pool game?DAMNED TO DEATH.!

[freboso]

In a strange way, and this may sound strange, the Damned in this incarnation without Captain is more Damned than the present incarnation.

[ianhardie1963]

fantastic, looking at you with breaking on through is amazing

[catblanket14uk]

Perplexed why The Damned didn't release this, yet another incredible cover...

Saw them Finsbury Park 1986.

July 27th.

Eloise, We Love You, I Had Too Much To Dream, Looking At You, L.A Woman...

[psychodamned]

Yeah he did have Bryn merrick on the back though lol !! Great track !

[muckletoon]

aye, good like, i used to love the exiles rendition of break on thru....

howz life treating u?

[Carvanian01]

Nice addition, always used to go down well live this version, however disappointed to see Dave getting beaten on the quad bike by Roman!!

[samhain66]

I'd Love to see it back in the live set.... Lol, i reckon Mr V will have won in the end, He's pretty handy on a bike I hear
