DEAD MEN WALKING - A DEAD MAN'S DIARY
Sadly the Dead Men Walking 2005 RIGHT TO PARTY tour came to an end at the weekend. There have been many memorable moments along the way as Jim, Mike, Kirk and The Captain took on the US and the UK in their own inimitable style; classic rock n roll music, great camaraderie, special guests and madcap comedy! Another successful operation!

Now here's a chance to relive some of the highlights and go behind the scenes with Dead Men Walking. Mike Peters was invited by Billboard.com to write a Dead Men Walking tour diary for the newly redesigned Billboard web site which went online today.

PHOTOS UPDATED - DEAD MEN WALKING - RIGHT TO PARTY TOUR
Dead Men Walking made a stand on the Waterfront last night and the SJP.com camera was on hand to capture events from the wing (view photos). Jim, Mike, Kirk and the Captain took to the stage in their usual high spirits giving the Norwich city crowd no excuse but to party right alongside them. For anyone who has yet to see DMW, the set comprises hit songs from each band members' respective back catalogue, as well as a few classic covers thrown in for good measure. Last night The Who's "My Generation" was given the DMW treatment just before an explosive version of "Rumble in Brighton". Jim literally smashed it up as he sent wooden shards flying from his drum sticks, snapped a rod and ripped through his bass drum skin with the kick pedal! As repairs were made to the broken drum head Captain Sensible seized the opportunity to talk about his pre-punk days spent cleaning toilets and performed, by popular demand(!) his great hit "The Snooker Song" (theme tune from TV gameshow Big Break)!
There are only 4 dates left on the current tour, so whether you're a Goth, a Punk, a Mod or a Rocker, get out there if you can and fight for your right to party with Jim and Dead Men Walking!

Last night it was Colchester's turn to experience the high jinx of the Dead Men Walking. Now over half way into the tour there are no signs of the guys letting up as they stormed through another set of anthemic classics, including Eddie Cochran's "Somethin' Else" (sung by Jim) and an impromptu version of T-Rex's "Get It On". Slim Jim really pounded out the tracks, building up to a superb moment during "Runaway Boys" where he showed off his chops in an extended solo 'face-off' against guitarist Kirk Brandon as they traded rhythms and licks.

PHOTOS UPDATED - DEAD MEN WALKING - RIGHT TO PARTY TOUR
SJP.com caught up with the RIGHT TO PARTY tour yesterday as the Dead Men continued their assault on the UK in Cleethorpes. The guys rocked through the set which included Stray Cat favourites "Rumble In Brighton", "Runaway Boys" and "Stray Cat Strut". Captain Sensible has certainly made his presence felt, ensuring there's never a dull moment; personified perhaps by the beautiful rendition of his hit "Happy Talk" - performed by 'popular demand'!! Other musical highlights of the evening were renditions of classics "I Fought The Law" and "You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party". The crowd was also treated to a guest appearance by Big Country's BRUCE WATSON. Finally, as if that wasn't enough, there was a very very special surprise appearance made by The Damned's Dave Vanian - umm or maybe not, that leopard print shirt sure looked familiar! (click here to visit the photo page from last night's show and all will be revealed).
