The Fall - BM's best of thread

Scroll down to 9th February 2018 to see the Brockley Ukulele Group perform ‘Theme From Sparta FC’.

 
Another absolutely brilliant gig from 1982. Quality is a bit dodgy at first, but soon settles down. Disgracefully, has less than 200 views so far on YT.

Burnley FC Social Club, 19th May 1982.

Reading Festival 1990 - I was there, only my second Fall gig - really good but slightly overshadowed by the Pixies incredible set straight after (that's still the best live performance I've ever seen).

You Haven't Found It Yet / Arms Control Poseur / Blood Outta Stone / Black Monk Theme / Hilary / Hit the North / Bill Is Dead / Wrong Place, Right Time / Big New Prinz / Zagreb / Life Just Bounces / Bombast / White Lightning / British People in Hot Weather / Jerusalem

 
Regarding that Reading footage, does anyone know who that bloke on keyboards is? Doesn't seem to match anyone in the Dave Simpson book
 
I know half of it came from the house, but that’s not a bad estate for someone who was always claiming to be skint!
No surprise most of it going to his sister and his mam. I believe they all had a strong relationship and if he’d cut one former partner/ wife in, he’d have to do them all. Far too much mither.
 

Craig Scanlon made me do a double-take there - almost didn’t recognise him. I think the last and only time I’d seen him since he left The Fall in the mid 90s was a year or two later. He was a work-colleague of mate of mine at Salford Council housing department and I saw him briefly from across the room in some pub in Swinton, when I met my mate after work one night.
