20 From '77(16) The Damned Portsmouth Locarno 20th March 1977 (Alternate Version)

Marc Bolan on stage with The Damned  somewhere on tour
(March 1977)

A couple of recordings of The Damned (and T. Rex) exist of this tour, but from a Damned perspective I believe that this is the best. This version of the gig at the Locarno in Portsmouth (on what was my 8th birthday) captures the band on the final date on what was by all accounts a very successful venure for support and headline alike. Being the last night of the tour, I imagine that things went something like this.... T. Rex came on for the finale with the massive 'Get It On' and invited the support who had served as a great livener each night for Marc to follow to join the band on stage. That version is captured on this version of the gig. Elsewhere on the site you can find another recording in lossless format of the same gig minus 'Get It On' (just search for The Damned).

Thanks for the share!
