Damned/Finland 08.02.1986

This new item features a high-quality stereo audience recording of a live performance at a major Finnish festival in August 1986, following the release of their sixth masterpiece album, “PHANTASMAGORIA.” This high-quality stereo audience recording captures the band’s performance at the Ruissalo Island Festival in Turku, Finland, on August 2, 1986, following the release of their sixth studio album, “PHANTASMAGORIA,” which showcased a gothic atmosphere with a more Vanian-influenced vibe after Captain left the band. The recording was digitally transferred directly from the master cassette, resulting in exceptional sound quality for the time, with exceptional balance between vocals and each part, a wide range, and a deep, clear sound. The band had just held a 10th anniversary tea party a few days earlier, and with Roman focusing on guitar and Paul Shepley, who also participated in “Phantasmagoria,” joining them on keyboards, the setlist featured three tracks from their then-new album, “Phantasmagoria.” They also played “Anything,” a freshly written track from their upcoming album, “Anything,” due for release in December of the same year, along with “The Girl Goes Down” and “Restless,” new tracks from the same album, “Limit Club” from the 1981 EP, “Friday 13th,” and a cover of The Doors’ “L.A. Woman”! This is a truly stunning piece that’s sure to leave you in awe!
