Fan Club - The Damned (John Peel session 1977)

[Kelly14UK]

This is way better than the album. Sure I've mentioned that before on YT but there you have it. Note the edge to Vanian's " something to BITE " @ 0:44. Sums up the performance.

[London2272]

They never sounded quite the same after Brian james left and Capt. Sensible switched to guitar, but they were still way out front.

John Peel RIP.

'Good old Johnnie Peel playing honest radio' (Cockney Rejects 1977).

[jsbret2729]

wow, i have a hard decision, The Clash or The Damned?

[GAREMPOTS]

ah john peel wher a first heard alot of music

[jannyrcobs]

Why doesn't The Damned get the respect they deserve? Simple. To quote The Dead Kennedys: "It's because someone upstairs wants it that way. If The Doors or John Lennon / were getting started now / The industry wouldn't sign 'em in a million years!"

[Mopar604]

Bloody marvellous .................... I remember listening to that Peel show in 1977

They also did New Rose & Neat Neat Neat

Never thought I'd ever hear this again

I salute you tilfeldig123 - cheers

[LianaLunacyRAWR]

speaking of great spirits, i wonder if that weird spirit keeps turning up at their studios and mucking around with the sound when they are trying to record!

[Aved00]

damned damned damned :)

[swampdodger33]

well i`ll be Damned

[ZLUGGO]

Wonderful tune!

[andreaprodan]

a great RAUNCHY rock band, true to the SPIRIT of GREAT ROCK.

I truly think that as time goes by, the solid , chaotic, well-crafted stuff composed and played by these guys is FANTASTIC! And FUN too, like cousins of Keith Moon!!!

[nancyl2]

He He He Fantastical band and vocals. I guess we all experienced those one night stands. : -)))) Go Figure. : -)))) LOVE to all and to my Angel--(12 yrs. old and loving this Punk-group; I agree you were really not understanding these lyrics. : -)))) Not too much longer I am Sure YOU did understand ;-) <3 to you my friend. : -)))
