[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

[folk devil]

The Damned are one of my most seen bands. True, I can only recall them playing Problem Child and Stretcher Case live from Music for Pleasure, since Brian James left.

I have a recollection of them playing Don't Cry Wolf, but this may have been closer to that time...

Hmm, yeah - I know that after the epic _Damned, Damned, Damned_ they released the 45 of "Stretcher Case Baby" b/w "Sick of Being Sick." I realize one or two of those songs are on 1978's _Music for Pleasure_, esp. as bonus tracks on remastered CDS, so it is kinda in the gray zone - AFAIK. 

But "Stretcher Case" is the closest I have EVER seen them play anything off _Music for Pleasure_ since they re-formed in 1979. I've read interviews where they (Capt. Sensible, Vanian, and even Scabies) loathe _Music for Pleasure_ because they felt it was a huge Bryan James ego fest, as he refused to let any of them write any of the songs, except Vann the awesome song "Your Eyes" off that LP (_Music for Pleasure_, that is.)

If anyone knows of any live performances of any songs off _Music for Pleasure_ post-1979, besides "Stretcher Case Baby," lemme know. Because what I have read is that that (amazing) LP has basically been disowned by them. >From an outsider's perspective it is a damned (no pun intended) shame, as, even if it was a Bryan James-as-dictator LP they all resented, James was an awesome songwriter and the stuff he wrote on that LP kicks some incredible ass.
