Phantasmagoria Live!
Half the songs are off of the Phantasmagoia LP and includes that lineup. This is the last show of their 85-86 tour in Santa Cruz, CA. These songs live have alot more energy and are 'rougher' than the studio versions (which is great). Dave actually plays 2nd guitar on a couple songs - best song has to be "there'll come a day". Is it a Dream sounds excellant...

Not what it seems...
The packaging included a picture of a ticket stub from a gig in Anaheim CA in 1985 but that IS NOT the concert on the CD. It is actually from the Woolwich Coronet on July 11th, 1985 on their home turf during the Phantasmagoria tour. Several songs were included on a U.K. 12" single (GRIMT3), the a-side being a re-mix of 'Is It A Dream'. The live b-sides were Street Of...

Phantasmagoria Live!, January 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Fiendish Shadows Live (Audio CD)

These songs live have alot more energy and are 'rougher' than the studio versions (which is great). Dave actually plays 2nd guitar on a couple songs - best song has to be "there'll come a day". Is it a Dream sounds excellant too - kinda like Smash it up during the Chorus! Naz Nomad even gets in the set. The country intro. to Disco Man was funny. You can hear the crowd during during slow parts and in betweens etc.."Scabies is a wanker" do I hear? and you can feel the energy - after 22 years they still are more exciting than any 'new alternative' band live. I've only seen them twice recently and on a few videos. If you like the Damned get this CD even if Phantasmagoria is not your fav LP. Someone please sign them to a new record deal!! Even if Captain is still a Wanker! Hanz Pozzo

This review is from: Fiendish Shadows Live (Audio CD)

It is actually from the Woolwich Coronet on July 11th, 1985 on their home turf during the Phantasmagoria tour. Several songs were included on a U.K. 12" single (GRIMT3), the a-side being a re-mix of 'Is It A Dream'. The live b-sides were Street Of Dreams, Curtain Call, Pretty Vacant and Wild Thing. The last two were left off this release as they were (1) already available as b-sides, (2) cover versions and (3) not particularly good (or necessary to make this a cohesive/coherent live album.). Anyway, the CD contains not the California gig but a gig from England in the summer of 1985. And a pretty good one too.

Good live show, June 2, 1999

This review is from: Fiendish Shadows Live (Audio CD)
A live set the Damned did in 85 in California it lags in some points but this is a great addition to your collection if you like the Damned fave tracks are Curtain call, Lust for life and Smash it up.
