Saw the Damned and X in Chicago on Thursday. I don't know how on earth both bands, who have been around forever, could sound and perform that good. The Damned has Paul Gray on bass again, and they absolutely blew the roof off the place. They played the "Machine Gun Etiquette" LP, and it was pretty much perfect. They were having SO much fun. I can't recall when those guys have smiled that much. If they come back in September, which I think they might, hopefully they'll do a few more dates playing that LP. I'd go again in a heartbeat.
