Live D.O.A. in the early '80 was just on another level. Only time I've seem them was in 2019 - huge stage, zero ambiance, every excuse to be a boring version of something that used to be interesting, you know? They fucking destroyed.

CRAMPS

venue: Paradiso
location: Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS
date: ??
length: 14 minutes

No idea when this was recorded (I mean, it was early), but it's probably the coolest sounding live CRAMPS I have heard. The fuzz and distortion is flawless. "Teenage Werewolf" has never sounded better. Probably should have combined this and the KROQ interview. Didn't. Don't care. Enjoy.

I remember the first time I heard "Ever Fallen In Love" and it was a serious moment. I think it was the 'These People Are Nuts!' comp (which - in retrospect - holy fukkn shit what a banger, but maybe it was something else. Anyway, that song is perfect and this recording is brilliant.
