[kj] Clip of US punk documentary/riots

[Mike Porthouse]

Had the pleasure of seeing the current Damned line-up a couple of times last 
year (Vanian, Sensible, Stu, Pinch and Monty) and I have to say they're in 
good form. Best I've seen them since the re-union shows in about 88 or 89. 
Vanian and Sensible have a massive stage presence and they're now playing 
with good musicians. Always a good night out. Some good new songs and a back 
catalogue of classics. The only thing for me, which keeps them from being 
right up there with the best is their lyrics, which have never been anything 
to get excited about.
BTW the recent MGE DVD release is very good for any Damned fans who don't 
already own it.
