I've only got into The Fall after Mark died. Id always known about them but knew nothing about them . They seemed too aloof when I was doing my thing in the 90s and I had no mates that were remotely interested in them and regrettably I never took a leap of faith and bought one of their records or went to a gig. After mark died I was out for a run and I thought I'd listen to some Fall songs to see what they were all about , after a bit Sparta FC came on. It went straight into my top 10 favourite ever tunes, I wanted to scream and smash something to bits I loved it , still can't get my mates into them.
@@MichaelShawcross Same for me. Hey Luciani was on the US release of Bend Sinister (Domesday Payoff Triad Plus). I heard the song, rushed out to buy the cassette, and I was hooked. I'm with you, that 84-89 period with Brix was the best, although I like all of the different eras.
Never heard this till last week and I have to say it's one of the catchyiest tunes I've heard in a long time. Loved them in the early days but never heard them much after that.
"Take your fleecy jumper, You won't need it anymore it is in a carboot moving away, 'Cause where you are going clothes won't help stay at home with TV set". Great!
As much as it is possible to have a favourite song from a band with that many albums, this, for me, would be it. And as much as it is possible to have a favourite live video of that song from a band with so many videos, this, for me, would be it.
Some of them would have remembered them and it stuck in their minds. When I was a kid in the 80s I went to see the Smiths, actually New Order where top of that bill, but the Fall were on before both of them and they always stuck in my mind. I started buying their stuff.
I love this. the fall are amazing. started listening to them in the '80s. bragging rights there; but it doesn't matter when you started to listen to them.
Just started listening to the fall lasted year when Hex Enduction Hour popped into my recommended videos. I mean it when I say the experience was life changing
Check out "Sparta FC" with Jan Svankmejer animation, a brilliant mash up. I once lived in a flat overlooking the Sparta FC grounds in Prague, I wonder what inspired the Fall? Half Man Half Biscuit does "All I Want For Christmas Is A Prague Dukla Away Kit". Is there another song out there about a Prague football club to complete the triumvirate? Perhaps I'll write one about FK Viktoria Žižkov.
Missing a second guitarist - he is now on bass. The Fall were great. Never knew what u would get. The Fall WERE Mark E Smith. No more mark, no more Fall. Sad, sad, sad.
Wow- even better than the studio version. Still, the Fall strikes me as a band to enjoy in a small sweaty club (as I did many times) and not an outdoor fest.
Is there anyone who still hasn't heard 'Cheap Space Chant' ? In UA-cam, search for 'Timekode, Mark E Smith' and listen to the strangest and best MES/Fall collaboration of them all...
best ever spoken intro before a song , "we are the fall.... we are the love corks (?)" please correct me if hearing it wrong i m non native and pretty deaf
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.
I saw the Fall around this time and the gig lasted about 15 to 20 minutes before Mark walked off but it was the best 15 to 20 minutes I have had, they were fucking great and played this.
We need to cut our own trails now I've woken up I see I was often following carefully laid trails of crumbs non of them leading to truth goodness or lasting beauty just mamon. I will now sharpen my machete then salve my head wound and pray for mercy ✌
And, this is officially the 547th time I have played this video!
😀 1000's !!!!
Je ne me lasse pas de regarder et écouter
That crowd don’t deserve that performance.
Too right.
That's just silly. Be happy for them, that they got such a good show. Do we deserve your resentful opinion?
They were probably waiting for Fall Out Boy.
The Fall amaze and delight me, no matter what line up, what year. A real band. Thank you Mark E. Smith.
Featured in SAS Rouge Hero's season 2...very apt .

Hey Luciani was the song that got me and the album that it was on. The Brix years were the best, in my opinion.
it all about each ones experiences. then one can relate. some might express it, some might not, and the rest never felt it
You missed early UA-cam fall, it was all there! Original plasticine video to this, was boss!

Fkn epic . You don't know what you got til it's gone .
The only band on the planet who get better as time goes on. As Peely once said The Fall are all you need. How right he was.

Christ....is this the best ever?
"Take your fleecy jumper,
You won't need it anymore
it is in a carboot moving away,
'Cause where you are going
clothes won't help
stay at home with TV set".
Great!
I've seen them do this song many times but this has to be the best ever performance.
R.I.P. The most influential rock God of them all !
Why the fuck is no-one moving ? How can you stay still, listening to this ? It should move the most withered soul - even in Norway.

Thank gawd that was recorded - the reports from the audience might not have been too reliable.
I love the clips from this gig. The band look like they're really having fun, each in their own way.
as usual the bass keeps it together
That track was Super tight with a brilliant Guitar Riff to boot THE FALL simply Superb 👍 R.I.P. MES
Brilliant version of a brilliant song.
So good memories wstching this madness...i miss it do much ❤
I saw them in the early 80,first 90 in Berlin my born city.Fanstastic shows and a fanstastic band.😚
I would have loved to have been here. This was a really great set.
Some of them would have remembered them and it stuck in their minds. When I was a kid in the 80s I went to see the Smiths, actually New Order where top of that bill, but the Fall were on before both of them and they always stuck in my mind. I started buying their stuff.
Another one of their classics.....
he's 49, that's a hard life, embodied
You were unique, Mark. R.I.P.
These guys are great!!!!!!!!!
I love this. the fall are amazing. started listening to them in the '80s. bragging rights there; but it doesn't matter when you started to listen to them.
that info is more history than bragging. no loves like the old loves.
I know this isn't a competition but 1979 me.😂
Saw them at Trinity Hall Bristol !! Before Brix joined , and at students union Clifton after Brix joined !!
Just started listening to the fall lasted year when Hex Enduction Hour popped into my recommended videos. I mean it when I say the experience was life changing
Starting listening in the 80s. Rediscover last year through Spotify. Created a Fall playlist that is so fascinating.
God this is still sublime!
Fucking hell, this is one of the rockingest Fall songs since the early days.
M. E. Smith still got his mojo 30 years later!
The audience are having a picnic with tea and scones and maybe some daring strawberries and cream later😮
Best Fall production evah. And I've been with MES from the primordium. We live on blood.
Everything you need is The Fall
I see them in the 80s at folkestone leas cliff still listening in x
I came here from John Cooper Clarke's book 'I wanna be yours'. Great show in Oslo.

It refers to the Greek side, Sparta FC (Greek). Eleni Poulou (Greek) came up with some words which MES embellished into the theme
Got to see them at The Channel in Boston on The Frenz Experiment Tour and the rest has been history, grateful just about everyday
"We are the Fall from the long long days of your past" Epic!
Class.
Absolutely fekin marvelous.
Missing a second guitarist - he is now on bass. The Fall were great. Never knew what u would get. The Fall WERE Mark E Smith. No more mark, no more Fall. Sad, sad, sad.
This is the Fall, Manchester's finest
AWESOME
Immense.

Pretty old crowd... kids don't know what they're missing. Great clip!

Best Sparta. Rip laa.
Class!
, thank you ,mark for the songs were singing, wish my sound system went louder
Powerful music.
Wow- even better than the studio version. Still, the Fall strikes me as a band to enjoy in a small sweaty club (as I did many times) and not an outdoor fest.
Thanks for the illumination
Fookin Brilliant post , maybe in the future that crowd may get it LOL
Utter class......
Intense.
Awesome. Thanks for posting
Groups , as smith preffrred to call his bands. He was true. What an artist
Is there anyone who still hasn't heard 'Cheap Space Chant' ?
In UA-cam, search for 'Timekode, Mark E Smith'
and listen to the strangest and best MES/Fall
collaboration of them all...
best ever spoken intro before a song , "we are the fall.... we are the love corks (?)" please correct me if hearing it wrong i m non native and pretty deaf

Mark E Smith is undeniable genius.
I deny it.
I saw the Fall around this time and the gig lasted about 15 to 20 minutes before Mark walked off but it was the best 15 to 20 minutes I have had, they were fucking great and played this.
we are the fallll :)...its sooo good
Love this lineup. Totally rips.
this is as good as it gets!
@MegaKevorkian Love it. Too right. X = the comfort zone. Stay in the red. We ain't running on empty.
Tim Presley on guitar. Check out his solo stuff.
Mark WE don't forget you....
@brownowl70 okay, yeah, muddy, not sandy. But I wish I'd seen them in Castlefield too!
""You mug old women in the paper shop." LOL!!!
Oh, the energy.
Jesus. Any ounce of rhythm in that crowd?
Must be Amerika.
@@christopherwelch136u.k.
Mate. One of the great British bands playing to basically cabbages.... Must be frustrating for them.
Clueless. Best band ever and stood gawping like dead fucks.
@@christopherwelch136Oslo
People liked the idea of the fall better than liking the fall
Great post
the guitarist now does his own project called 'white fence', its pretty good, sort of 60s psychedelia. not sure about the bassist though
I didn’t know Tim Presley was in the Fall, that’s cool
FUCKING AWESOME
killer bass
Rest in Power Mark
its always like that on Øya
Fuck me the crowd are proper into this!!!
WE ARE THE FALL!!! RIP MES.
RIP Mark.
sparta fc is a dutch football team they shud use it as a walk on song
Even George Harrison was in The Fall in 1966.
Yeah. Like Lemmy said about Canada when on tour with Motorhead... "you need to bring your own crystal (speed) up here".
love the audience...very very cool....
yes, cool.
the crowd makes me want to move to Norway. tomorrow.
The Fall Live, in my house that's what any music is judged against. Yes storming version.
Base & Primal. Fucking Great!
The Cardiacs brought me here after The Fall sent me to the Cardiacs who sent me to The Fall who sent me to the Cardiacs - logic of the universe-ah!
We need to cut our own trails now I've woken up I see I was often following carefully laid trails of crumbs non of them leading to truth goodness or lasting beauty just mamon. I will now sharpen my machete then salve my head wound and pray for mercy ✌
It feels kind a strange to see a 70 year old man playing with a bandmembers who all are ca 30 years old.
how many versions are there of this song?
iv heard one with the lyrics ''i dont have a jacknife, it went up the hill.....''
This lot is just standing there holding their beers !!! I'm in my bedroom watching this and I'm doing cartwheels...
