Here's my photos:<< Excellent stuff. ((( Cheers Mark ! Saw them in Oxford on Monday night. Heaviest version yet - rhythm section now resembles members of Skrewdriver. Guitaris has assumed "Fall guitarist" posture. Relentless and very loud ((( Relentless indeed. The drummer was really knockin' seven shades o' shite outta the kit too. And they played Wings, one of my top 10 Fall songs. 25 years old and as contemporary sounding as anything I've heard this year. ((( I must admit, I'm doing a lot of catching up where The Fall are concerned. I know parts of the very early period reasonably well, then huge gap up to The Unutterable with a few late 80s/early 90s compilations filling in a bit. But now have the back catalogue and have been dipping in at various points, with a particular penchant for Bend Sinister at the moment. So, a lot of songs I wouldn't necessarily connect with titles. I've probably heard Wings but can't place it, but it's interesting what you say about contemporaneity Mark - I didn't even realise it was an old song - everything sounded fresh and up to date. Support bands were atrocious - awful amateur proggers followed by Safi B*stard Sniper and his tawdry slowed-down video turn, yet again. Enough. ((( With very little exception, support bands are to be avoided. I stayed in the bar for Feral Man, which sounded like one bloke with a guitar and a drum machine. Cheap filler. Get off !! Bring back John Cooper Clarke. ((( Aye, bring back the Bard. That's two for the price of one that is, with Mark E & JCC on the same bill...
