The Damned - 10th Anniversary Show Live Finsbury Park 26.07.86 (HD) 

**I Think It Was Recorded At The Town & Country Club, Kentish Town, London 01.07.86? Was Broadcast At 3am As Part Of The Whistle Test Rock Around The Clock Programme on 21st September 1986**

to say scabies is a brilliant drummer would be an understaitment

Yes this is Town & Country...I was at both Finsbury Park shows and the stage is different, well it had these big stands/poles that held up the structure and they were wrapped in foam so no one banged their head! I took photos at the Sunday July 27th show from the pit as I had gotten an all access pass after meeting Dave on Carnaby Street and he hooked me up with the manager!!! And some appeared in their book 'Light at the End of the Tunnel'.... I made a video showing all of the photos. Great times hanging out with the Damned!! Those were my fave days!! Love them in all of their eras, including today!!

Ty for uploading this, I was at this gig. Can't believe I'm able to watch it again! Ty x

So much energy! Unbelievable! Incredibly admirable guys, indeed!

Not the same without sensible and his comic digs at the audience between songs and his unique guitar work,big respect to Roman though,Rip Brynn Merrick.

I was at this gig. When they kicked off, a young woman passed out in front of me and was getting trampled, and I carried her out of the Marquee to the St. Johns Ambulance staff just outside. The Fall were supporting- brilliant day!

Saw them both nights, slept in the park overnight, brilliant gigs!!

Bringing back so many good happy memories ❤️👍❤️ they toured australia twice in the 1980’s so I was able to meet the guys, get my albums autographed and some photos and rat hit on me haha! I am smiling thanks for uploading, awesome content as always ❤️🕊👍

This is GOLD thanks for posting Roll on Dec 24 Manchester

This is gonna save my day!

It’s the beginning of Elvis Dave.

Absolutely brilliant!! Subbed your channel as well❤🎸🎸🎸🎁👊🤘🤘

I was there for both days - it was completely mad

I went to this, but for life of me I can’t remember if I went to the Saturday or Sunday lol

Daleeeeeee

That’s what I’m talkin abouut

Where was the `CAP ` at th eis time ?Also Notable here is the late and lamented Roman Jugg, great guitarsmith

Did somebody throw their underpants at Dave in the beginning there? lol

I remember watching this on the Whistle Test Rock Around the Clock (that I have some film of including Billy Bragg and the Bunnymen with Billy Bragg doing VU's Run Run Run!) I was 14!! This is their Phantasmagoria year so I had become proper aware of them the previous year via Grimly Fiendish and of course Eloise. No Captain, but Roman was fucking ace too. That opener is just brilliant.

I was there

First gig went to

That's The Town & Country Club not Finsbury Park.

Now I know where Ian Astbury got his look from.
