The Fall - "Theme from Sparta F.C."

[coetmor]

That bass is a kick in the cunt.

Lovit.

[coetmor]

HEh

[asubjectiveopinion]

That crowd needs a slap.

[yippitydodah]

@asubjectiveopinion you can tell booze is expensive in Norway, can't you - not one of them is out of the skull on plastic two litre bottles of vodka and lemonade.

sounds like a line from a fall song that.....

[How0ne]

Did I mention I saw these live??? The Fall & Primal Scream live = the dog's bollocks.

[MegaKevorkian]

@How0ne Howdy one.What a lucky boy you are, you actually saw the Fall, n primalsreamin live, after 33 years!.WOW, Thats some acheivement

[lotuslena08]

This lot is just standing there holding their beers !!! I'm in my bedroom watching this and I'm doing cartwheels...

[rebelVHS]

Is there anyone who still hasn't heard 'Cheap Space Chant' ?

In YouTube, search for 'Timekode, Mark E Smith'

and listen to the strangest and best MES/Fall

collaboration of them all...

[MegaKevorkian]

@rebelVHS OH hear it is again!. Another Cheap Space Rant by the littlest rebel!. Ma.mma mia,ere we go again

[senorbart]

Yes Yes Y'all

[quickparkly]

Holy shit! This SMOKES!

[neiltay2002]

Much better live version when you search for this ong at Leicester Princess Charlotte. Four or five songs from that night up on here. Blindness is incredible.

[crassology]

People in the audience look bored. I guess they're waiting for Lady Gaga to come on. But he will never be as cool as MES.

[BikerChapterOnline]

@crassology ...they were waitng for Justin Brieber ! LOL

[fairypowerspray]

tight as fuck

[leesawford]

Again i say..how can they all just stand there,motionless..like brain dead chicken children...why are they at a musical event at all..just the drum and bass alone  would surely make a music fan tap their feet?nod a little?christ.I think it's this: people goto festivals nowadays because it's 'cool'.Thats why they turn up in high heels loaded down with make-up bags and a tent from fucking tesco..and I cant get a ticket 'cause they put 'dappy' or sum tit on the bill & demand hikes the prices up

[crassology]

@leesawford I was thinking the same thing some months back as well. We live in the days of the electronic aid and auto-tune. Not like DEVO or Kraftwerks who were experimenting with Moog and other synth devices. These guys aren't even in that genre of progressive experimental since they actually use mainstream instruments but are still experimental in their own way. MES always explores new verses in his songs which shows he sings from the heart and what's on his mind. I think John Peel saw this

[actor2120]

I love this video! i'm definitely subscribing! check out my Gerard Butler video if you get a chance! :)

[haxan1980]

1:46 what a pussies!!

[ifanbates]

The Norwegian folk look like they would rather be at home listening to A-HA. I guess darkest Manc don't translate to the fjords. Shame. Morten FC.

[coptersoisoi]

Are people in Norway not big The Fall fans? everyone looks traumatized. LOL

[brownowl70]

Very good, that's Castlefield In Manc, ain't it?

[kogler]

@brownowl70 Nope. It's The Øya Festival in Oslo, Norway.

[llenlleawch]

@brownowl70

The very first images you see are a sandy beach. Where do you see that in Castlefield?

[brownowl70]

@llenlleawch  point taken, it's not Castlefield,eh.

[llenlleawch]

@brownowl70 okay, yeah, muddy, not sandy. But I wish I'd seen them in Castlefield too!

[afaliu]

doin´picnic while the fall is playing, you don´t deserve it, puñado de estúpidos.

[mrnedthomas]

fucking genius!

[juliangm86]

veryyy fuckingggg niceeeee!!

[drumgold23]

How the @~#* can you picnic to THE FALL! MES & Co givin' one hundred per cent here. "We live on blood....".  Following them 'round Europe. Me and Archiblad Yates. Yeh. Get orf yer tartan rugs and fuckin' dance!

[MegaKevorkian]

@drumgold23 what?. Dance to your poxy tune!, I doubt it drumoldbollox!

[drumgold23]

@MegaKevorkian Love it. Too right. X = the comfort zone. Stay in the red. We ain't running on empty.

[Yobotistan]

@drumgold23 Well, that's a great picnic. If I was picnicking at a festival with kids, I'd love The Fall to give it the soundtrack of their lives.

[weezinggrass]

my drum teacher was the original drummer in this band, he aint there though

[foduruti]

The chick that kicks arse is Mark E. Smith wife, her name is Eleni and she is Greek from Berlin. A piece of "cocomilish"!!!

[rs41160]

Is that Keith Floyd on stage? What crap!

[yoochoobb]

Fucking hell, this is one of the rockingest Fall songs since the early days.

M. E. Smith still got his mojo 30 years later!

[rugshort]

Fuck me is that his wife?

[mookie2637]

I think this is in Norway. Perhaps that would explain it.

[themec]

The old Deceased hippy John Peel once said, this is the band that all others are to be judged by. This is still true. The dark heart of Salford still rules the roost. When he dies there will barely be a blip. When that clown out of Coldplay dies they will put the yellow flags out.

You have to pay for everything/but some things are for free/ We live on blood/ We're Sparta FC.

Makes me proud to hail from the dirty old town.

[rugshort]

The old deceased hippy? Have some respect.

[jasonbigelow]

Deceased old hippy? You need to learn some fucking respect,cocksucker.

[fulcrum300]

@jasonbigelow Well said.

[adrenalfusspot]

nice of em to play at a picnic

[anselmorobbiatti23]

While Mes may not be the greatest vocalist of all time, I would definitely place him in the top one.

And he works that stage like Hurricane Higgins works a green.

[zenhen]

and smokes same amount of fags LOL

[gwugluud11]

Is that Brix?

[Steve7508]

no, that's Elena.

[THQfull]

that, i have the same clock by Mark E. Smith, Sparta F.C. is incredible!

[rossobantam]

can't believe MES let that crowd get away with that...

[cogsinister]

Immense.

[cogsinister]

Fucking genious

[hahagerm]

Fucking right!

[caudillo1]

this is world class s&**, no doubt about it. Too bad this version of the band is no longer in existence.

[suereed]

The Fall Live, in my house that's what any music is judged against. Yes storming version.

[makky123]

fucking great rendition

[warlockboyburns]

twisted

[liamjwolves]

how many versions are there of this song?

iv heard one with the lyrics ''i dont have a jacknife, it went up the hill.....''

[liamjwolves]

[smithmarke]

Best Fall line up since er, the one before etc

[orenatz]

[BigAlDente]

Wow The Fall are in great form here! Did this line up write this song?

[oneillco]

[Nechepsos]

MES in great form here! bugger this crowd

[andymanberge]

[doublethink921]

[audiogx]

[wiremu]

Bloody europeans ha ha

Hex Enduction WGTN NZ 1982, the musical equivalent of having battery acid thrown at ya.

[JimmyRutten]

so fucking brilliant!! Mark Smith is GOD.

[manpower3000]

Be my, be my toy ! English Chelsea fan, this is your last game, classic songwriting ......

[manpower3000]

Keyboard player is M E Smith's Greek wife " Elena Poulou "

[michaelstmark]

... and someone here has a guitar string out0of0tune !

How un-professional, I'm sure he faced the sack straightaway afterwards.

[michaelstmark]

Vee doent unterstant de vords!

[comradegonzo]

Brilliant, and Mark appears to be fairly sober/drug-free for a change.

[cocobatteurfou]

very good sound but what a f***ing bad-looking pianist !

[jjj7477]

They're married years...

[FallingDan]

Has he married the fox on keyboards yet?

[StartWearingGogol]

Amazing video. Mark E Smith is a true legend!

[jjj7477]

if only all festivals were as well run as this, attentive audience, pristine, exemplary....

[torpid2]

lowest form of wit that is :-p

[PhillyDickinson]
