Legendary UK punk band The Damned have announced a new concert album, titled AD 2022 – Live in Manchester. The multi-format release, due September 13th, was filmed during the band’s concert at the O2 Apollo Manchester on November 3rd, 2022.
The band’s original lineup of Dave Vanian (vocals), Brian James (guitar), Captain Sensible (bass), and Rat Scabies (drums) had intended to play a series of shows in 2020, but were forced to postpone the gigs due to the pandemic. They finally booked the Manchester show for November 2022, playing a 21-song set.
The setlist was mostly culled from their first two albums, Damned Damned Damned and Music for Pleasure, both released in 1977, and also featured covers of The Beatles’ “Help!” and The Rolling Stones’ “The Last Time.”
