This clip is stellar. We have one of the best riffs ever, performed for a largely indifferent crowd (save my buddy Ernst in the front row, holla!!!), crap sound from the start, MES's shockingly old and tired mug, MES with 2 mics...a smattering of confounded yet smirking fans scattered about--including MES-- he's chill, tho, letting everything roll off, smoking and chewing gum...I could go on! I've seen this clip 100x, each time I feel like the dude at 2:20. See MES simper at 3:50. Aces!
Wrong place - this dire looking fuckin' hippy fest. Right time - me at home getting into yet another pulsating performance from "The Mighty Fall".
ps thinks its "vestibule" not "festival" but one of the best things about MES is the way a misheard lyric changes the whole meaning of the song from person to person. I've been hearing fall words wrong for decades now. It all just adds....
love the fall

The Europeans sure do know how to film a concert.
Amazingly crisp Hi-Def video footage.

Anyone else notice the "No Crowd Surfing" pictogram sign at the lower right of the stage?
:D

One who is not prepared or has acquired a taste for The fall will be very unhappy to sit though a set. This bunch seems to be in that catagory.

I head that this chap has a wooden voice box. I don't think that he ambulates either. It's sad really.

Hmmmm - not one instance of Mark 'adjusting' anyone's amps, settings. etc. during the set. He must have been in a good mood. ;)

Mark is 52, and, yes, he does look older.

These days Mark E Smith looks like he collapsing in on himself, like a pastry that has been taken out of the oven too quickly.

dude hes like forty something
it would be strange if he didnt look worn
paddyoshea55 2 years ago
Well...he looks a lot older than he is, I reckon. There is nothing wrong with that, it's just the life he has chosen.

USA so desperately needs the Fall to come and perform live. Please, we don't all suck.
