R.I.P Mark E Smith, sad to see you go and the end of your prolific genius.This gig is my go to, as far as best quality audio/video of a live Fall gig. Regardless of the scattered appreciation from a random festival crowd .
This is the number one go to Fall live clip ,it's hilarious how when MES finally finishes taking a piss he arrives and pushes the drum tech offstage,plus the sound is wicked quality ,shame it was wasted on dead festival crowd
Dan Born the fall have basically had this same band since this was recorded. it's been the longest period of stability in the line up of the band since the 1970s.
What a totally weird place to hold a festival. It's like us holding 1 in spitting view of an estate and spaghetti junction with The fall headlining and no fall fans there. Totally WOW. BIZZARE.
Unless ive missed the point which is possible my veiw on the john peel issue is he did actually like the fall why would he f. Play their tunes? He saw what I know see years later .is that their music is soothing ,original,off key,tipically British .,punky,dancy,anti norm,out of he box,artistic,abstract.diff to the run of the mill .AND HE'S STILL FUCKING BANGIN THEM OUT.27 year later "PEACE OUT BIGGZ"
His Markness really seems to enjoy pushing around that poor guy, who just wants to help the drummer fix his tom. Long live the dictator! ..... But what! a! performance!!!!
One cannot help but wonder if Eleni CAN play two-handed keyboard parts - one never seems to see it (but, then, that keyboard is so small I'm not sure there's room).
then he must have been lying when he said the fall are my fav band on a documentry i watched and of all the albums he had if his house set on fire he had all his fall albums in a seprate box so he cud save them you plant pot
The Dudes were only a temporary part of The Fall. They joined when MES and Eleni needed musicians to finnish the american tour, after the previous group quit. The americans were only supposed to be in The Fall for a short time, but stayed long enough to record the Reformation Post TLC album. If you listen to the Hanley Brothers Oh! Brother podcast there' s an interview with guitarist Tim Presley and according to him they parted on good terms.
Oh please is it not obvious I'm kidding? Mind you although I like some of The Fall very much 'I am Kurious Oranj' for example I do find some of it virtually un-listenable - including this effort. Just sayin
Yep! Exaggeration the clue to obvious ironic humour. He was a card was our Peeley. BTW I'm reporting you to the local chapter of the Liberal thought police for calling me a 'Plant pot' HOW DARE YOU!
