could this be the greatest track in the history of humanity?

God I miss this band’s live gigs. RIP Mark

i mean ooft, 8min 15...gives me goosebumps every time i watch this and i've lost count...Mark is lovin life with the dudes..

Only Mark E Smith could combine having his dinner with Live performance. Genius

This video deserves 5 stars for sheer hard labour, especially (and as always) on behalf of the bass player.

Salford's finest. We salute you, Mark E Smith. R.I.P

Who'da thought the mysterious Mountain Energei would morph into this mesmerizing rock song? Thanks loads!!!!

I didn't discover the fall till around this era, might be the best stuff

This is rapidly becoming my favourite Fall track of the day: it has ethereal winning aspects. Still early though, it's a very open race for top spot.

The Fall live is always a unique experience ...

well, The Fall are the best band ever... always different, always the same and MES always delivers. I've seen them at many gigs and it's always amazing. Anybody who doesn't get it... well, what can I say??? Their loss!

I saw the fall for the first time in 1978 & almost every year since,no one comes near the fantastic music they have produced.still making ground breaking music after all this time is an amazing achivement,can't wait for new album,Still the best band on the planet

cool.. i showed up late to the SF show and came in when they were finishing this song

fantastic!

I missed this tour, thanks for posting. I have enjoyed this band for many, many years and i still can't understand Mr. Smith!

Rest in Peace.

Superb. Thanks.

this is foquing brilliant. thank you.

Rob looks as if hes about to do over a post office. i reck The Dudes where the best Fall line up ever.

MES is z riff meister.. milks the riff dry.. but i m not complaining..would continue listening to it even if it went on for another 957 minutes..

my current favourite fall tune. its actually got a pretty cool message. i though it was free

FOREVERxx

I love the new boys...

Fucking exquisite...

repetition at its best the ferry WILL be making waves

not bad...hypnotic...

The Fall = a bass line plus some other stuff.

I thought it was free

it's 'MARK E SMITH' WINNER OF THE GOD LIKE GENIUS AWARD not marky

always different, always the same

Fancy a fight?

But a tree is blocking the water flowing

I thought it was free.

It's Compo from Last of the Summer Wine

this is a great song, esp for the boring modern era of the fall.

@fightington try frightened

I've seen the Fall live four times but at the last show all I did was stare at Elena Polinou (or whatever her name is) as she played an electric keyboard set upon a barstool. Right up front, where the action is. Plus MES was on that night---not like this.

Follow me !

sutty234, you are the sort of person Mark E Smith writes about and takes the p1ss out of. You don't understand The Fall and Mark's lyrics. Fall fans have been following them for years. I first saw them in 1978 aged 14 and all my mates of the same age were followers and still are 37 years later. That means Mark can't be doing it wrong can he. Listen to the lyrics properly and ye shall be enlightened. Or maybe it's a bit too much like hard work for you.

do you have a life

I'm glad they finally got ZZ Top's bass player to join them! MES is about as un-compelling on vocals as I've seen him. Ah well, they keep rolling along..

When does the real band come on ?

wow! this is pretty bad. ycs with the lol utub links tonight =D

I liked The Fall back in the 80's (eat y'self fitter) but is it just me or has anyone else noticed MES can't sing?

what the hell is wrong with marky smith? I liked the fall but come on. Isn't it time to hang this shit up. He looks and sings like my grandpa. how is that punk? dont get me wrong his band sounds cool though.
