Guess vinyl pressing holds it up. Any label info Mark? Who might release this one?

No record label info. I just know that some band members have had a test pressing. I think the hold up is more to do with not being able to promote it properly - this original reunion thing has got in the way.

I have watched more footage I'm very impressed by the new drummer,Vanian in great voice and Paul Grey one of the great bass players,but it's lacking without the Captain,his replacement doing a great job,it just shows how the dynamic can change with just one member not there but the Captain chose not to get Vaxxed and I respect his reasons as we still like in a free country sort off?Lt Kudu

I heard the version of Blackout. I thought the guitar was mixed a bit loud. Maybe an overreaction to the general complaint with the last album being too low.

Anyway the Bluray will be even better. It's a very extravagant BIG show. Suits The Damned perfectly.

There was one track though - might have been The Dog - where Vanian dropped something backstage. It might have been his in-ear monitor but he was scrabbling around in the darkness trying to find it and missed his vocals. Shame as that was the first time it had been played or the first time in over 35 years. Still, I suppose they could overdub that.

Also this was the gig where halfway through Vanian had his head shaved bald for the second half. He's a class act :lol:

Haha nice - I remember the gig being advertised. The Dog live woulda been interesting (guess it still is). Big Strawberries fan here.
