fucking YESSSSS!!! after the sluggish stuff they did in the 90s, they are well back on form now! maybe just as well he sacked the old members in early 00's.

brillaint band of integrity, and fun.

Excellent!! Thanks a lot for posting this Basement session,

I had no idea they'd appeared on it. Good to see there are still some shows that have the balls to invite bands like this to perform.

Is there any chance this could be posted in its full 16.9 aspect ratio like the other 2 clips you posted?

[JasonVS2011]

Almost pissed myself when mark shouted 'Timmy the tortoise has just had a heart!! during 'is this new'

[TerryLatic]

Still struggling with that mic stand.

Still the best live music footage on YouTube. I've got this on my YouTube channel. Love it.

[MrTulip65]

[Mald77]

These basement sessions are nothing but breathtaking! Utterly brilliant

[jonanjello]

@Mald77

I agree

[craccitijones]

I love how Mark E. is just kind of wandering aimlessly in the background for the first minute and a half.  Dude is awesome.

[Mald77]

Wunderbar!

tight band

[jonanjello]

2:39  and 2:47 MES adjusting the bass and guitar amp as usual?

[jonanjello]

IWS arrived today and I gotta say I love these live performances better than the album's. Always a great thing when that happens. Freakin' great performance.

[brianwilson49]

fuckin hell. how does MES do it? he always manages to get a killer band together!

[jonanjello]

Fudge, I can't get enough of this performance! Love Wolf.

It's great, thanks kvman2007 for uploading this fine footage

[kvman2007]

Thank you jonanjello. The Fall is one of the most reliable band from the last 30+ years. Last year's "Imperial Wax Solvent" was great, but next record (out on April 2010) "Your Future Our Clutter" will be "The Fall at their most rampant, most forward moving, bone shaking best. With nine tracks that rock like raw fury" as it said in Domino's web. Be warned!!

[jonanjello]

For what it's worth,Wolf is at 2:33

[jonanjello]

It's sooo good. Love the two mic stands. haha

[jonanjello]

I'm viewer 1,999.

[cruiserscreek]

tight as fuck. brilliant. and yeah, the first song is 'Is This New' and should be named in it's own right. usual great improv: "get rid of the carpet, and what do you have left?"

[kvman2007]

Yep, you're right, but the lyrics are totally different from the original version on the album, maybe improvised for the occasion...

[costas2by4]

Bloody amazed. F-Brilliant. What a band ..

[evilradist]

Fucking amazing song!!! Love it! Where are you going? Going to a shop!!! )))

[yakattack320]

the first song is-'is this new'

[stanthevespa]

Are there anymore videos from this session or is this it? Brilliant performance. I wasn't keen on the album but it is growing on me....

[catbox]

YES!

[DavySolaris]

i didn't even know the Fall did a Basement sesh. epic!
