This has everything from you could want from MES. Carrier bag, jacket removal, early exit, 1 mic, 2 mics, keyboard fiddling, amp fiddling, faulty megaphone. Great song, great performance.
www.dailymotion.com/video/x5i7x2_the-fall-blindness-live-jools-holla_music dont know what happened to the other glove. i heard micheal jackson was a big fan of MES. might be where he got the inspiration to wear one from. rumour has it MES used to moonwalk aswell back in the day
@@colinwilkes8957 it's funny how when you discover something new you realize you can't live without it. Mark e smith's lyrics are just mind blowingly brilliant. Never encountered a lyricist like him❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
I rediscovered The Fall about 7 years ago. I was in my mid forties and was familiar with the "hits". They're now a constant in my musical diet and I've probably only heard half their catalogue.
It dosn't get much better for me this, I put my Dads ashes in the fire box of steam train, (East Lancs Railway) and this track was my 'ear worm' and kept me together that day, I've loved The Fall since I was 15 (47 now!) and feel a tad lost without Dad and Mark E, top fellas!! Thanks for the upload
I'm a 53 yo man,lol,But I found this band just b4,my 50th, A LOT HAPPENED, in my world, CRASH, BANG,WOLLOP, got a smile today ❤, thanks Mark, didn't no ya,fair'd income mate RIP BUDDY 🙏,I'm a latch key kid,our kid
He's fucking loaded yet it sounds amazing. Love the onstage antics, fucking with equipment then tidying up his beer bottles. What a guy Mark E Smith was, great young band at the time too!
This world of ours is going to be a far lot worse with the very sad loss of the genius that is Mark E Smith, what a legacy , what a legend, will be very sadly missed.. God bless. x
As a huge fall fan i always wished my mates would love them as much as I would/do or even listen to them but i know know that i am the lucky one who gets them. I think the new generation of post punk bands (i hate that term) like idles and fontaines dc who are clearly influenced will be what people will truly remember the fall for, a massive influence and hopefully people will take the time to listen to them and appreciate them/he truly was, the greatest rock grupe ever
@@badmen1550 I don't disagree with you slightly mate, MES is a f#@kin GOD! No one will ever make music like he did, being so adamant not to change his vision even if it meant less money and album sales?? Well I believe that and I also believe in 20-30 years time the fall will be held in the same regard if not more than the velvet underground as THE influential band without compromise so i think my point is the fall are the greatest GROUP ever bar none, sorry about the rant man lol
@@nwo4life708 correct! The Velvets were so far ahead of the pack that people only realised how brilliant they were when they were no longer around. Thank God I understood The Fall from the beginning.
one of my favorite bands, been together so long, sad🖤 Mark Smith 🖤 who's voice give the band made them special ,. Been folowing since the beginning, great lyrics
I pretty sure it was Frank Skinner who said this, but it sums up MES and the Fall sound to me perfectly: There are other good bands about but they are like de-caff coffee, but The Fall are the real deal, full strength. Hip Priest ... you are truly appreciated by those of us who know, ‘and they knoowww!!!’
supe de the fall cuando escuche esa brutal voz en glitter freeze(gorillaz- plastic beach) sin embargo al escuchar canciones de the fall nunca me llegaron a convencer Esta es el que hizo el click y actualmente mi favorita descansa en paz Mark E. Smith
Absolutely ! So wish this was available on CD somewhere or available as a download. I have a community radio program & I'd so love to be able to share this Live In the Basement version MES - Amazing !!!!!
It's Twin Peaks you're thinking of. You know - that series with the dream sequences that had a dwarf with an unnaturally broad cranium, a furrowed brow and a very weathered complexion who spoke gnomic riddles in gibberish - And you know what? That's him on vocals here.
Could go down the route of commenting about how this is real music, but that is too obvious. What this is, is the music of agitation; fed-up, fucked off, and proudly working class. If there is one thing good knows about how many years of tory rule that beckons it is that maybe, just maybe, we get more bands and artists that will be of similar suit emerging. It was said in another comment but it is so true - we need more "scaring folk with hubris" that comes from working class stock in guitar music. Sleaford Mods are the only thing that comes close, but aren't really guitar music in its traditional form. We need that traditional four or five piece who *are* a bit bored, edgy and perhaps even self-indulgent to inspire; bands who just churn it out and care not for appearing on Jonathon Ross, reaching the masses with commercial friendly tat, or what-fucking-ever.
@dreszczu Couldn't agree more! I wasn't too crazy about IMPERIAL WAX SOLVENT really, a shame too as there is some great songs on it but on a whole..less for me than other recent albums. This is an ace version here of "latch Key Kid" though
It’s great, the band are tight and everything, but not MES’s finest work....give me the raw power of Live at the Witch Trials and Grotesque ATG any day....I fucking worshipped the Fall back then.
I was just thinking the same, they all use to be on RU-vid at one time and there was four tracks altogether. 1- Is This New. 2- Wolf Kidult Man. 3- 50 Year Old Man 4- Latch Key Kid. Luckily I managed to downloaded them all as MP3 `s but I`ve lost, " Is This New ". Shame as the quality is superb and the bass on this track makes me balls tingle
