The Fall - Man Whose Head Expanded 

I like the way The Fall increases the speed of their songs when playing live. It makes for excitement, that's for sure.

" Turn that bloody , blimey space invader off ' coincided with the change of tempo with the music ! now that's pure class !

Mark E Smith is a one off, there has never been anybody who has written lyrics like he has.

This was the first song by The Fall I ever heard and it flipped my wig off!

The Fall, better than brilliant, no question 🙋

Mark E. Smith is brilliant. I'd go to church if he were the preacher.

A great moment in British musical history

My favourite Fall song possibly. (although there are one hundred and seventy six other contenders). Best era too but all of the Fall is something akin to heaven. Sounds like...over..over...

You don't know how much this tune means to the lads who've been coming into this WMC for the past 25 years.

man alive, i just started to cry 3 minutes into this :-s i think it was so good my brain lost it completely :-o

Mark E Smith- complete legend!

this is the pace this is meant to be performed at.

Game Over !

Perfect , Mark E. smith is a prophet.

Love this....great memories of the Hacienda... im at the front in the long green coat drumming with no sticks hahahaha!!!! thanks!!!!!!!!!

The Perverted By Language part of the dvd is a compilation of videos, interviews and live performances. The Live At Leeds half is all shot at Leeds University in March 1981. THIS video is from the first part.

Fave Fall song EVER.

TURN THAT BLOODY BLIMEY SPACE INVADE-UH OFF

thanks fantastic

Any one who's managed to find this can safely say they know their Fall. Over.

Love it.

speachless as allways with Mr Mark

The same as in Trinity Hall Bristol, which I saw, great stuff !

Great work on the lights, seems like it was a great gig.

Brilliant.

outstanding

Game begins

brilliant.

RIP my dude

the fall 1983,geil !!!!!!

Think you're right mate!.. thanks for that :-)

i must go see them live in 2015

See, this is the reason the Casio VL-Tone was made.

You're right. It is at the Hacienda. The dvd is called " PERVERTED BY LANGUAGE BIS/LIVE AT LEEDS" There's another set of songs on the dvd from a Leeds show.

I like MES's shirts from this period.

♡.

Sonic Youth coverded this: My new house, Psyco Mafia, Victoria and Rowche Rumble.. good stuff as well!!

Paul Hanley, ladies and gentlemen!

And uh thanks er for uploaderz ..... That something you didn't see very often in early 1980s.....the Hacienda with more than 10 people.

mark.e. 1983 genial!!!!!!

@grecian300 this comment should have more thumbs up! great list of favourites

So now we know who'se head has actually expanded / LOL as they say, Mark :-)

socking beats!

Game Game !

@grecian300 I was just thinking the same thing. Well said!

@LambCouplet well listen again with some headphones on you will

Brix looking on sheepishly, longingly, in the audience front right

open the song with a loud metronome only to immediately fall off tempo. perfection

Thanks for the reply CORDUROY00, weird thing is, i've had the Perverted by language bis video for about 25 yrs but soon after i bought it my budgie wrecked the (pink-spotted?) cover and it was replaced by a spare "how i wrote elastic man 7" single cover ( shocking i know!! ), and i never knew there was any Leeds stuff on there, thanks for the update, much appreciated.... now...where's that bloody budgie??....

excellent shift from 2.14

Pavement was practically a Fall cover band, and did occasionally cover actual Fall songs.

maybe the best one.that or cb

Bye Man.

The man whose face pored with sweat ! Who turned that bloody ceiling fan off ? LOL

Get out of my house! I know your'e out there behind the door laughing at me! Ah, speed

what's the bit at the end???

The man whose gut expanded

Da Da Da ... Casio VL-1

@manolohaxe explain.

From the info: "PERVERTED BY LANGUAGE BIS/LIVE AT LEEDS" - This performance is from the Hacienda........ wasn't the Hacienda in Manchester?@?!?!?

no its like math rock with the techno sound and the tempo change

Who's on drums , sounds amazing

CASIO VL-1 !

I just thought about Cs correckshon

Jeez been trying to find this forever .......... first heard it on Peel but missed who the fook it was ! Now all is right is the universe thanks to CORDUROY00 [Now watch as tw*tting Yu Lube deletes it :(

where the fuck is the version of 'Garden' they do at the hacienda? why the fuck has no one posted it yet. these things make me angry.

its quite like math rock

CORDUROY00 this is surely live at The Hacienda Manchester 83 and not leeds?...unless i have a doppelganger.??? :-)

and Cc

Can somebody please remind me what album the slow version of this was on? Original Fans please.... I Grew up in NZ so we only had limited info. Fall, Joy Division, Warsaw, Alien Sex Fiend, Colour box, Romeo Void, New Order, Bauhaus, Xmal Deutchland. You want to see what we danced to in the 80's

Is Bis on DVD already?!

Some onomatopoeia. Aliterate Crack-crackRIP

JD infuences :D

what the fuck is that in the background at 4:48 ?

Aental health worker compared me to markesmith imrichie sunbeam of sunbeam and the light rays sonnhelnstrahl und die Licht strahlen we play elvaston castle 🏰 backdrop this spring godbless our fan club worldwide

Good we hear a less polish live version.

But the out-of-sync rhythm makes it that much more interesting! Well, in my opinion anyway. And while Da Da Da is indeed fun, it doesn't have the raw strength this track has.

@MegaKevorkian bite me

Mark E Smith is God.

Good, sure. Unless you're Polish.

sorry, sonic youth may ruffle the cuffs of certain people, but they are not fit to touch the hem of HIS raiment. However, There are some great covers..The Barcellona Pavillion's cover of C.R.E.E.P is ................

can't see what all the fuss is about.

some rabbits die of disease and we dont relly care

...turn that bloody blimey space invader off...

lol right the drummer can't keep up with it... "da da da" is better...

I'd feel like an elitist asshole going to see this band, just being honest.
