The Damned's legendary performance at London's Hammersmith Palais, July 10, 1983.

Pitted against pioneering punks The Sex Pistols and The Clash, London lads The Damned were first in their field to release a bona fide single, an album, and tour the USA. The Damned could hardly fail to win the hearts and souls of punks the length and breadth of the nation. 1983 saw the recently unsigned band play a gig at London's Hammersmith Palais that would go down in Punk history forever.
