The Damned played Hurrah in June 25, 1979. New York’s Misfits opened the show. The 62nd Street club was packed with punks. I was working security and my job was to lead the band up to the stage. Several minutes before the show I asked them if they needed anything and one of them said, “Four Bottles of Vodka.”
I went to the bar and returned with the requested four bottles. They twisted off the caps and poured the vodka straight into their mouths like hungry baby birds feeding on their mother’s spew. Most of it ended up on the floor.
The show was classic. Fast and Loud.
Punk rock at its best and I love NEW ROSE
