The second of the two days of The Damned's '10th Anniversary Tea Party' in North London's Finsbury Park. Not much tea in evidence over the two days, but, much to the crowd's delight, a certain Captain Sensible put in an appearance for the encores (Smash it Up, Love Song and Looking At You) on this evening. You can hear the difference in energy between the slightly pedestrian main set and the songs the Captain plays on. I remember being a little disappointed at the time that the set relied so heavily on covers and new songs, rather than celebrating ten years of The Damned. See what you think.

I picked up this same recording in 1987 - went to the first day and was gutted to learn the Captain appeared the day after!
Loved the way they changed Plan 9...
