The Damned John Anson Theater Hollywood CA 22nd October 1988 (TFTLTYTD #15)

 


This was the second of theree nights that The Damned played at the John Anson Ford Theater in Hollywood back in 1988. Once again, the set is rather experimental with a handful of Rock 'n' Roll/Garage covers thrown in. The first, 'You Must Be A Witch' was by sixties Garage band, The Lollipop Shoppe. The track later appeared on one of the noted 'Pebbles' compilation LPs which I guess is how it probably came to the band's notice. 'Cathouse' is a Danielle Dax cover and the origins of 'Tonight' I do not know. Of course, 'Johnny Remember Me' and 'Fever' are both very well known. 

Support on these dates was provided by Sham 69.

This post is dedicated to bass player, Bryn Merrick who was with the band for much of the 1980's having replaced Paul Gray in 1983. Bryn succumbed to cancer in 2015 at the age of just 56.
