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
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"
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.
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.
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!
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
Imagine… The Fall as the UK’s Eurovision entry every year from 1977… what a grand statement that would have been.

The Korg MS-20 being used is a monophonic keyboard so it can only play one note at a time.
I love the way Mark pushes the rodie about 3 minutes in.
Blimey, his missus on the synth is even fitter than Brix! Top work M.E.S; R.I.P, Renegade
he must have a had a gigantic willy
Not hard tbh
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Great groove, love this era of lineup...
it was post TLC ya know
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
MES almost smiled when he came on stage...
that bloke with the mohican and his bemused expression. Marvellous
His half smile as he walks on cracks me up...😂😂..it's brilliant.
When youre ready Mark...
+SepticSceptic ...and then just knock the tech. off the stage.
+SepticSceptic
funny
Took him c. 6 minutes to tank up sufficiently
People driving by on the highway, hey that's The Fall !
Best Fall line up for years.RIP M.E.S.
Grandes porque son ÚNICOS
Thank you so much for posting these videos, excellent footage and sound quality. Thank you so much!
Nice one Kogler. Superb set of uploads.
Mark E does it all on his own terms..
Bassist is like the great guy in Sons of Anarchy - Opie, just love him.
You're right!
I listen to You too much...........xxxxxx
I have a mission. To see the fall at least once this year!
So Cool, R.I P.!!!!!!!!
Legend
Faith restored- Bless
Wowzer!
Please come back fallfanuk - your presence is being missed*
MES performs them mighty deeds of rock & roll - again and again*
COOL !!!
Best band,best tune , hilarious video,fucking love this
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.
"I'm off to the loo. You guys start and I'll join in when I'm done"
It's the way the intro goes on for far too long, but you're sort of MESmerised.
This comment is rad.
@@Turfdeanthantrax messed up how good it is (goes into a stewart lee rant about how nobody will appreciate the genius of this commnet)
Genius
Mark E Smith the one and only ….
R. I. P
The Fall in good form !
fucking brilliant
He's ridin the girl on the keyboards, he's doing just fine.
great venue

The Fall was John Peels favourite band according to John Peel on numerous occasions
Think i saw a S M l L E @ 3o3 . . .
A peasant's drink - Bottle of absinthe and a bucket if you please.
Sureal video. How can these people not be freaking out to this music and just stand there?
Hypnotized like deer in headlights
@Timmybear the other hand seems to be reserved for dial twiddling
Powerful groove.. The Fall should still utilize this band set up.
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.
Matthew Bera Nope. Mr White Fence is no longer in the band from ages ago. Neither are the bass player or drummer.
+Dan Born (Mecha) I like this lineup a lot, though it looks as if the drummer could have a heart attack at any moment !
Melvyn Gingell this lineup where American from other bands. They went back and he got others who stayed together for years
@2:34 when the drum falls over and the poor roadie comes to the rescue only to be unceremoniously shunted off by Mark ;)
Better than the album version. I always though it was 'egg platoon', turns out it's 'invited'
+hexonatapeloop Sounds like "Hey Fattie"
ditto. mark is lady mondegreen's main man, eh?
It's "Egg-fat Tig" (Tig is a character from the TV show Sons of Anarchy and he put on weight in the last season after going on an all-egg diet).
@schlockhausen - True (and I LOVE your name!!)
Ace!
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!!!!
2:45 into the video and no Mark E. Smith lol
For the last time. LAY. OFF. THAT. FLOOR. TOM!
i think it was a good idea Mark put aside his "no beards" policy
@TheBvf07kku preesh that.
"FUCKIN MEZMERIC LAD"
So why did he keep inviting them back for sessions?
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).
It's a special kind of keyboard, not be played two-handed.
0:06 Inventive, imaginative AND inclusive - they even had a Sikh on bass!
Buddha praise the drum tech
@gwugluud11 cheers mate
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
Think the bass player guitarist and drummer quit after this tour or M.E.S fired them. big dispute

John Peel claimed they were his favourite band for a joke - Agonising listening, truly terrible.
Lol damn it must suck to have shit taste in life. Another clueless arctic monkeys fan by the looks of it. Good riddance
Are you Simon Cowell or Chris Martin?
