This five CD set pulls together a quintet of their shows to provide the most comprehensive confirmation yet of the bands exuberant, visceral excellence in the live arena. Covers all facets of their career, from a gig at the height of punk in 1977 to a more measured approach at a 1988 reunion show. Includes recordings which have no studio equivalent. Features key line-ups from the bands desultory existence, with Damned stalwarts Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies & Brian James augmented by peripatetetic members like post-saints bassist Algy Ward & future Culture Club drummer Jon Moss. Includes an interview with drummer, founder member and noted punk scenester Rat Scabies. COMMENTS:
