One of the best eras of GbV as they were unhinged on taking over the world here. Big label with money pushing them (for better or worse.) They were having it. This is a great-sounding, extremely well-executed live performance. And all this while Bob most likely wished he was at home with his drinking buddies instead of playing the game.
Love how Peel played them first with Vampire and kept going till his last show - one of the very few bands he stuck with. Bummer that they only did 2 sessions with him as he was an obsessive. "Ah, those perky kids."
The major label stuff was ok...Isolation Drills etc but you can't beat mid 90s GBV...B-1000 and Alien lanes...followed by Mag Earwig....all Matador i believe
I have to disagree I’m afraid. As much as I love GBV, I think The Fall were better. More creative, more artistic, more edgy… Saying The opposite would be nonsense. Still they are 2 different bands who did different music too… I think bothe bands are brilliant in their own league and Mr Peel was known for being a man of great musical taste (and British too that might explain his preference).
