The Fall - Leeds Festival 27 August 2006

[chelmsfordpunk]

It's a Jazzmaster not a Jaguar.

[benjaminrichardshoop]

@chelmsfordpunk THAT IS NEITHER A JAZZ OR A JAG

[SilverOrchards]

The faces of the two teen ladies at 2.03 obviously there to see whatever shitey indie band were on after the fall... brilliant.

[CR4GETH]

@SilverOrchards Just in case you were wondering, the band on next were Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, so yeah you're probably right. The Fall are incredible, would love to see them live.

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

oh wow. ive haeard them in my youth. i didnt know that they still make music. thats graet. but---- how old is the singer now???? xD he looks like johny cash^^

[drumgold23]

We live on BLOOD! Love it. MES is still godlike. And his new spouse is hotter than Brix I would suggest. .We are the Fall we are the white crap that talks back.

[cackermuffin]

is he dressed as rik mayall circa. bottom deliberately???

[hpsfl]

I want that jaguar.

[MrOffandonagain]

bloody hell, mes has put a lot of weight on since then. it'll be the liquid diet

[hughrjc]

puts a shiver down my spine this. It doesnt get any better then this.

"he is not appreciated"

[warlockboyburns]

"what about us... soup bag"?

[smithmarke]

Shipman

[stevenuuu1212]

[cjfez]

[DavySolaris]

the keyboard player's his bird.

yeah, that's what i thought mate.

[daledenby]

not his bird mate...she's his wife!!!!

[binstig]

frank skinner is actually a huge fan as well!

[hughrjc]

frank is HUGE fall fan

[cjfez]

IS HE THAT WEIRDO FROM THE PARK

[helltopay1]

Dont you think that singer would be better off in a day centre making boxes or something?

[mankchester9]

STROKE springs to mind

[Guedingen]

@4.05 you think he's wondering which fucker am I gonna chuck out of the band as soon as this is over? Great stuff, many thanks

[dividsmythe]

[Patriarhio]

[Nikosart]

P.s.kai h Brix mia xara gomenaki htane alla ton eixe pantreftei epishs to gerosaltarismeno..

[jjj7477]

Cool recording....!

[VUandChips]

I sometimes think 'who the fuck are these people playing instruments behind Mark Smith?'

[jjj7477]

His wife is one of them....

[VUandChips]

I know...

[jjj7477]

good.

[rayolacer]

im so pissed off i missed em, because a really bad time calculation

[hitchwatch]

Christopher Hitchens, GOP shill: [T]he left in this country is saturated with religiosity, like nonsense like Liberation Theology and so forth. And that to me is just as bad, in some cases worse.

[declan3906]

I wish that was me in the audience. Then I could say, "Hey! that was me in the audience."

[hitchwatch]

What must Bush make of that?

I think it's false to say that the president acts as if he believes he has God's instructions. Compared to Jimmy Carter, he's nowhere. He's a Methodist, having joined his wife's church in the end. He also claims that Jesus got him off the demon drink. He doesn't believe it. His wife said, "If you don't stop, I'm leaving and I'm taking the kids." You can say that you got help from Jesus if you want, but that's just a polite way of putting it in Texas.

[rhinomatt]

Top band at a Top fest!

[rayolacer]

fuck man i had no idea they were playin

so so gutted i didnt go see them

[suedehead01]

Haha, you can see the back of my head at the beginning

[paulaat]

Mark E Smith looks like a cross between Bernard Manning, Ozzy Ozbourne and this bloke Duncan at work. I'm glad someone has the guts to stand up for East German rabbits.

[Long23]

Have you ever seen him in the same place as Alex "Hurricane" Higgins? Nah, thought not...

[paulaat]

hurricane indeed...

[PittsburghPirate]

Happy 50th birthday TODAY Mark E.

[joparkino]

Totally agree, However, missing the second half of this set at LeedsFest prompted me to see them @ Sheffield Boardwalk a few weeks later, with yet a different lineup, where we befriended a bunch of kids who had travelled from Southampton !, and THE FALL were, yet again. . . . . AWESOME Ye've either got it, or U ain't ! ! ! !

[joparkino]

I was there, they were mesmerising . . . but mi mate hated em & dragged me away to the main stage half way thru :-(

[donning]

If peope had any aesthetic discernment the Fall would be on the main stage.

[PhillyDickinson]

I'm obsessed with listening to What About Us, it's quite unhealthy.

[hitchwatch]

Beats being in Iraq, contard.

[PhillyDickinson]

hitchwatch shouldn't you be somewhere banning people who disagree with you?

Good old democracy.

[hitchwatch]

I regret that I can't ban your fey ass every day.

[PhillyDickinson]

Are you for real?

You'd be hilarious if you didn't take yourself so seriously.

You ban those who disagree with you. It's pathetic.

[hitchwatch]

Why should I give you a platform for your bullshit?

[PhillyDickinson]

Explain to me why its bullshit and then I'll reply.

I wouldn't ban you from my videos if I made them. Why? Because I happen to believe in freedom of speech.

Smething you seem not to understand.

[mugglechops]

He sounds a fart knocker dont waste your time he probably 45 and lives with his mam,Seymore Skinner lol

[PhillyDickinson]

Is there a way of making this an audio file?

To put it on an mp3 or something?

what about us sounds amazing

[jonojonotube]

well there might be an easier way but if you have a mac, use the audio out and go into an imic adapter, then download sound recorder X and record as quicktime then in i tunes convert.... whew!

[PhillyDickinson]

Thank you :)

[hitchwatch]

How about grabbing the flash file and demuxing?

[Beetoe]

It isn't that bad, I've heard worse Fall than this...

I actually wish I was there.

[tighnatobar]

God. I'm so sorry I forgot to buy tickets to go and see this.

[jjj7477]

actually pretty good, a solid workman-like performance, finding fault in difficult circumstances is'nt fair and that was fine,anyway.shows marks continuing resourcefulness and flexibility....

[thefallinfo]

Pete and Dave, the so-called 'session musicians' had hardly any time to rehearse and did a sterling job - the performances of Reformation and Mountain Energei which will eventually get uploaded will show that

[bellyscratch]

i saw was ther n i was in awe of mes as it was the 1st time ive seen them, but lukin at that it didnt seem as gud.

[eFloodwater]

The bass player looks so Rollins-Bandish. First I thought MES has shaved the US bassist, but no.

[pranceydog]

Very v. poor. I love The Fall but this is a flat performance. The session musicians are a waste of space.

[tomwootton]

Christ. I love The Fall, but that is dismal! It's like fucking bloody Status Quo. I know they are only Session Musicians WOO-OOH, but still the sooner they get killed by some vampiric Greek shepherd boys the better.

[ManuelHung]

i agree... all the life is simply squeezed out of this song

[peteholloway]

look at the cameraman's face about 5.30 in! CLASSIC!

[hooblah]

YES!!!

[thom225]

any more?

[patiotool]

Man, that was great!
