The slow, but eventualy real, realization of the audience, that Mark E. and The mighty Fall had hypnotized them.

This is utterly, utterly magnificent.

The Fall has been and always will be my ‘safety nets’ - it’s there whenever you run out dry, it’s there when the radio doesn’t makes sense, it’s there when you tired of the same ol’playlist but have not found the track deserving th attention. It grows and grows - ones need to practice caution else it consume you, and it’s tiring.

In my opinion this 7 mins represents the pinnacle of human artistic expression thus far

I used to daydream about having a Mark E Smith Sat-Nav. "Turn left-ah at the roundabout-ah....."

'How many technicians does it take to set up a mic stand, I thought it was three'

How can I put this? It's like... I don't think anybody just goes through a "phase" of listening to The Fall. Those of us who listen to them, pretty much always have there music at the forefront of our collections. I mean, I've gone through phases where I listened to a lot be-bop and The Fall. Or a lot of industrial/techno/trance and The Fall. or sixties psychedelic garage, and The Fall, or a Bach binge... and The Fall. You know what I am saying? Anybody?

The beat, the bass - incredible! ------------------- signed The Fish

love this tune drummer looks so happy rip mes

I’ve watched/listened to this 116,000 times.

This is fucking brilliant. The way it builds and builds. The Fall are brilliant. Unique. Special.

love the way the guitar kicks in late....

This is officially my favourite video on KZfaq

The way the song builds to a crescendo at the end gives me goose bumps.

I love the way Mark eyeballs the crowd.

See the fall Glasgow brilliant one of the best live acts l have seen and I have seen lots

Oh Mark, there ain't ever gonna be anyone like you ever again.

I'm sure I'm responsible for a few thousand views of this. I find it beautifully hypnotic.

I think the Fall foottage from this gig is some of the best live Fall i've even seen/heard. Enormous sound from the bass. "Dear Dope, signed the fish". Fantastic Fall track.

I agree with you who say that once a fan of The Fall always a fan of The Fall, I love them more and more with each record..They have never got the recognition they deserve but maybe that is why the vitality and hunger to perform has remained for M.E.S. He has a working class attitude towards music and is never happy to sit back after making a new record..I have the utmost respect for the man as a musician, let's hope he has a few albums left in him.

I LOVE ❤ this Beautifully Powerful M.E.S + Fall Tune 🎵 🎶 ❤ of the Joyful Happiness & Freedom we all need to feel Alive ♥️ 🌟 🙏 🦁 🦄 👽 ❤️ 🌟 ✌️ ⚖️ 💪 🎖 🌟 ❤️ 🎉

I Keep coming back to this

This is brilliant. There always seems to be that line between genius and tragedy. At the start you think it's a going to pot. Mark can't to work out where he is, everyone else looks tense and worried. He drops the mic, wanders around. Any other band would be guaranteed a scathing review that finishes them the next day. Then suddenly out of nowhere comes this force in Mark that propels him and the rest of the band, despite the crowd's indifference. By end you realize why they're so great. Perfect

Every time I watch, listen, this edges closer to a kind of small, simple, stripped-down slice of musical perfection. I think I'll go round again...

The miracle of this clear footage is always dear to my little heart

Epic hypnotic rock!🎸🎸✌🏻😎

Thank you for uploading this, I've watched it at least 3-4 times a week for the past 6 months I think I need help.

I Just got tears in my eyes x

One of the best songs ever

This was such a great era of theirs. This is ‘debut-fresh’, like so much of their stuff, but the FHR album and year or three that surrounded it were some of their best.

love the fall, sinds the start, love the end part when Mark screems "mountain energei" and than remembers his mic

Wish i was there to see them, the group was excellent even though i am nearly sixty. have just got to hear the fall and I have been missing a lot. A very talented singer with a poetic outlook.

Masterful performance by the boy Smith. Commanded the stage and absolutely nailed it. Whup.

Great band live. A slightly sinister atmosphere prevails. Good to get stoned to, or pissed, but don't take too much kids! Hypnotic.

Hypnotic

I first saw The Fall in Wolverhampton in 1981-ish and was blown away. 30 years later and I have become the willing, drudge-bound prole that MES always railed against being. Meanwhile he's still there - being resolutely himself, spilling genius with every syllable and shagging slighlty scary foreign birds. I hope he makes some money one day. He deserves it.

Thanks for posting all the songs from this set ... this one tops it for me

Love the fall. Love climbing mountains. Just found my perfect head track for stomping up hills and dangling off rocks . Probably have to climb a Alp film it and use this as the sound track.

Front row. Best gig they ever played. Still got my ticket. Yoko Ono played straight after. The Cramps played that weekend too. Only Yoko survived!

I never considered The Fall to be a dance band. Then I saw them some time back in the 80's and I realized just how goddamned danceable they were. Couldn't stop moving! The ONLY person that shouldn't be moving at a Fall show is fucking Mark!

This is an absolutely amazing set. I saw this iteration of the Fall in Pomona, CA last year, and despite their age, they placed a great show.

Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic version, but Mark's performance is fairly subdued and laid-back, which makes you realise how much his so-called "bad singing" actually improves and adds to the power of the songs live. He knows what he's doing; he's a genius, and he has greater control and range of his voice than any Auto-Tuned pop starlet out there that you'd care to mention. I'm just saying - when Mark sings "properly" it's a much as a surprise as anything else The Fall offer up. Superb.

Awesome. Still as good as when I first saw them in 1983 at The Hacienda. MES RIP.

Absolutely fuckin class Rip mark e smith

Everytime I hear the opening I think of Rock and Roll Parts 1 and 2!

love it love it love. wow.

This is the Darker My Love Band, I saw both live seperatley. But I love The Fall fitst. I only saw MES w, the true Fall 3 times. Love it live..

Brilliant performance of a legendary tune RIP MES

This is poetry

Amazing performance. Great band. MES, one of the greats.

The Fall are all analogue in Europe! Let's go children...

Imagine picnicing to the fall?priceless!

Rest well Mark

Just love it when he milks a riff to death while ensuring that those riffs dont dry up at all.

Manchester so much to answer for.

Maybe at some point people will look back, and notice The Fall. And appreciate them properly, like how the likes of The Velvet Underground, Nick Drake and other underground acts have had a developing reputation rather than an instantaneous one.

Fantastic! They were brilliant live

pure quality delivered by MES & his American band

Bloody Marvellous!

how many technicians? Ha ha The Fall in full effect. I loved this line-up.

RIP MES. True Genius!

great - thanks for posting. Wish I was there

Good oldschool KICKSSSS

brilliant!

cool track....nuff sed..

you can see the fall fans., they are just grinning

Sweet collection of footage, bro.

"To get a re-mortgage...You need an in-tray sleeve...I thought it was free....MES..RIP xx

very good line up mark has there

so damn good!

Mister Blairstowe and Mister Partridge They said to me "To get a mortgage You need an income lid" I thought it was free Dolly Parton and Lord Byron They said "patriotism is the last refuge" But now it's me And water's flowing Down the mountain But a tree is blocking The water flowing So I went fishing A note from a fish said "Dear dope If you wanna catch us You need a rod and a line Signed, the fish" Water is flowing Down the mountain But a tree is blocking The water flowing Went to the car rental They said to me "You need a log book And a licence, son" Water's flowing Down the mountain But a tree is blocking The water coming Mountain energei And water's flowing Down the mountain

Cool.😎👌

top drawer.

there loving it...it's just cooler to pretend your not...Smith just loves this play acting by the audience.😂😂

Good shit.

Your not alone kid . I first heard THE FAll on radio one John peel slot in the suburbs of wales as a young teen I was intrigued,shocked, then as I am now .im feeling this track and the usual care free swagger of Mark e.its punk ,bassy, and the way he lethargically spouts the lyric .WORKS F ME TOP NOTCH keep it comin THE FALL.

Signed: *"The Fish"*

Many bands would replace the singer and carry on, but the Fall died with MES. RIP the Fall.

Epic

Signed, "The Fish" : )`
