Damned/CA,USA 05.27.2025 Complete

This latest recording captures the LA performance from their latest North American tour, featuring their ’80s lineup, in high-quality digital PCM stereo audience recording! In 2023, they released their 12th album, “DARKADELIC,” their first in five years since “EVIL SPIRITS.” They also performed in Japan in March 2024. This latest recording, featuring a live performance at the Wiltern Theatre in California on May 27, 2025, has arrived! Recorded directly from the digital PCM master, it offers a wide range, a comfortable sound image with excellent separation, and a balanced, clear, high-quality sound for every part. The ending of “Smash It Up” fades out for a few seconds, but the rest of the recording is included in its entirety. The set features the return of original drummer Rat Scabies, and the band is joined by keyboardist Monty Oxymoron, who joined the ’80s lineup of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, and Paul Gray on the 2001 album “GRAVE DISORDER.” The band will perform “Beware of the Clown” and “The Invisible Man” from their latest album, “DARKADELIC,” due for release in 2023, for which music videos were released ahead of the album’s release. The set also includes early numbers like “Love Song” and “Neat Neat Neat,” as well as killer tunes that sum up their career to date, such as the 1986 single “Eloise.” The setlist is also included, uncut and complete, including covers of Arthur Lee’s LOVE’s “Alone Again Or” and Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit,” which were not performed on the 2024 tour!
