[horrodancer]

I was lucky enough to see their gig in London, and Mark was singing on a wheelchair.

[abagail4me]

Definitely in my top 10 singles of all time.Saw em live in Australia back in 1989 Brix and Marcia were there, Mark was certainly there.As for the rest I don't know or care since I'm 100 per cent hetero.

tooth toaster and gawd

[targetdemographic]

does he say so get your X box at 2:29

[curefreak]

fooking amazing sounds even better live !

[denpunk666mitsos]

Brix is a babe. Still. Gok isn't.

[IdleAl]

Brilliant.

[Exeunt26]

My favourite Fall song at the moment. (There'll be another tomorrow)

[ImJmI]

@Exeunt26 great comment

[jnascarb]

is that Jason Donovan playing keyboard/guitar in the white shirt?

[catbox]

Stop.

[illinformedgeek]

fucking awesome ... why couldn't they have ran with this they would have had world domination ...... instead what did we get?.... fucking bono .... Mark E Smith should be up in the hague for this you know

[antsorter]

heh, never knew some fans of the fall were bitter about ol' brix :-(

[frankbough1955]

session musicians and in front the fall

[frankbough1955]

Give you a feeling of belonging to something or an identity ...grow fucking up

[mookie2637]

NB Steve Hanley playing a Peavey T40.

[markchav]

brix must need her shop painting again?

[woodcraftfolk]

I think Mr Gok has the contract. His cutting in is second to none, not to mention his Artexing.

[SonofaReaperMan]

My parents MADE me watch The Tube as a child, every friday nite after curry!

NH

[Pixiefan89]

Woah, those are some cool parents.

[coetmor]

Why did Brix dump Mark for that twunt Chef Gary Rhodes? she must ave shinola for a cabbage.

[woodcraftfolk]

I think it was the other spiky haired burk, violin maestro Nigel Kennedy.

[coetmor]

gotcha!

Say what you want about Brix - she had a nice Rickenbacker

[lounge128]

i've never heard it be called that before

[cloonmore]

[NWRA1957]

[rcknbkr403]

The Balls!

[Shotgunnova]

My fave Fall song <3

[sonicavenga]

haha...Mark E. Smith wearing eyeshadow. Frightening. That'll be the wife's suggestion then....

[goneAWOLagain]

@sonicavenga: I LIKE the eyeliner ;) Much better than the mullet era look

[oneguycoding]

I'm having an hallucinogenic flashback listening to this.

Not that I ever did drugs, mind you.

[bunnee777]

this was the first FALL song i heard, i've been hooked ever since. a master class band that has spurred the creativity of hundreds of bands since. nobody does like m e smith

[54spiritedwill54]

This is Manchester like it or lump it.

[LilacNell]

Nah, this was Manchester... the City is dead now. Hoody wankers rule it.

[BoshoDip]

Does anybody has a "BARMY" performance???

[Dick67]

Brilliant!! Thanks so much for posting this

[JohnnyTrotz]

Yer-- thx for posting this, nice to have live on the Tube-- one of my favorite the Fall Tracks----

5 Stars from me...

[JasonBNYC]

Brix rocks . . . OK, used to rock!

[midnightrambler03]

The song that got me into The Fall. Love it :)

[SenyorPirotecnic]

Where's Bombast gone? :(

[pressgangers]

fucking love Cruiser's Creek such a great 60s garage feel to this and alot the fall stuff

[sonicjay007]

the fall='stunning'

[canyonsofremorse]

The eternal power of The Fall. Cant wait to read MES's biography.

[ExMachine]

This never gets old.

[sonicjay007]

white light,white heat,

[jeepster73]

i'm sorry, but it's his band that carries him. i bet he gets all the fuckin credit for the songs.

[mcluskeygotthetouch]

idiot. clueless. stoopid. arsehole. shania twain fan. go home.

[cruiserscreek]

he does fucking write them

[paul8469]

Mark probably gave hime a fine for the bum note James Brown style.

[ZigZagWanderer]

Vintage Fall ! Mark E. Smith is an unsung hero

[brianwilson49]

insomuch as he doesnt sing very much! LOL

[GHOSTuckyourself]

ifuckinglovethefall!!!!!!!!!!

[kcufdam]

Mark E was the first person to say that Viz comics were getting shite - in the 80's. TOP TIP - Attaching onions to your belt loops will increase the weight of your trousers. Sleeping with a LARGE KEY under your tongue will help prevent cramp.

[jjj7477]

You are a mockery to yourself.

[kcufdam]

Fair comment.

[cdurrett]

Good comment. Love this comment only slightly less than Mark and Cruiser's Creek-uh. video.

[Gradyboy76]

Mark E Smith and The Fall will be remembered..I guarantee it!!

A generation from now, people will be digging these tunes. When he's gone probably...

Love the Fall..

[cocobatteurfou]

yeah ! A fucking tschainiz' riff ^^

[katconfuzer]

Out of tune ranting....sure is ...Long live the Fall !!!!!

[mankchester9]

This is Manchester f++++++ like it or lump it.

[jms6959]

One of my favorite albums. never saw this before thankx.

[lamancha2]

At 2:21 the man guitarist hits a bum note.

[apmorris]

there are no bums notes when its The Fall

[BigFatSissy]

Technically a hammer-off, as Mark E would no doubt concur...

[oleshatterbutt]

I have noticed that the older he gets,the more Mark Smith looks like Jonny Cash.Perhaps one day some Fall-Cash covers?Naw.Great band from the times.

[trevormail]

you could do some wicked smith-cash mashups... same tempo a lot of the time!

[oleshatterbutt]

Yeah,right about the mashups,but the shakiness of the aging vocal chords....there's the majic of this!!!

[TopLeatherMan]

Hard to name a "best era..." The "Brix" era was certainly a good one. I am one of a minority (I guess) that LOVED the EXTRICATE/SHIFT WORK era. And....its possible that the current group of strangers in the room w/MES NOW could actually be his best "nand" ever. The final chapter is FAR from written.

[eustace19]

i wish i was mark e!

[tonupthomas]

Not sure if "best era of Fall", but just superb... what a cuntingly awesome band - don't normally like bands that go for a million years - but mark is special.... great stuff...

[blueshirttail]

Shirt tails flapping in the wind!!

[PittsburghPirate]

I remember stumbling out of some London club in 1984 with just about the whole audience chanting this into the night....

Wonderful!!

[Blackhawkphil]

The mixing is terrible on this video. Ouch.

[crispypanda]

I think it's ace except for dodgy bass sound/level - the bit at the start where they've done the intro and then the whole thing kicks in is a fave moment from music television - cool as fuck

[morganucas]

I remember this Tube broadcast - it was the first time that I had seen or heard The Fall. Instant new favourite band. Pretty bog awful live though - but always part of their charm! Why did Brix have to run off with that twat with the violin?

[sugar02139]

man great stuff. I missed this when i was a kid growing up but had heard great things about it from an ex friend. I think this was a "Mid summers night Tube" and I correct?

[cdurrett]

Every era of The Mighty Fall is brilliant. This video was funny fun times for me!

[jjj7477]

They deserve all the praise going.

[erik1966lutig]

Absolutely brilliant. Long live Mark E. Smith and The Fall!!!

[Yoric]

The best era of The Fall - easily.

[TorsoHAI]

Cruiser's CrEEk yeaAh...

[EarlyLAPunk]

Brixie!!! MARK! Craigness! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
