Third time ive seen them and it was the best. The Tripod show in March was great but this beat it for me. The Village gig in 06 was dodgy but it was my first time seeing them so il always think on it fondly. Set highlights of an absolutely astounding set with no downers for me include 50 year old man, mountain energei, latch key kid blindness and mr. Pharmacist. I know people say this gets played too much and probably does but this was So good last night. I was very surprised by how vital it sounded -------------------- All my friends are bad kids

The burning question as always is...........was there a Consortium Rep. in the building? -------------------- Pondering the imponderable + NO COPIES = NO CORPSES + The lights across the street throw a rainbow in her hair......

Very special this one. Elena seemed to be really enjoying herself - God she's beautiful! Got home to Dublin at 4am but worth it. Blindness was highlight for me. The Fall are still the best - no contest. Hope the current line up stay.. just a little bit longer. -------------------- mark'll sink us all

The entire band seemed to in good form, the crowd was in fine fettle and the set was excellent. I thought the sound from the lead guitar wavered a few times, but overall was spot on, cosidering the venue was a tent. And all for a measly tenner. Hard to whack! Too many highlights to single one out, but my favoutrite was when MES sang "My boss is a midget" to complete silence during Can Can Summer. I took my 17 year old son to his first ever Fall gig and he absolutely loved it. Can't wait for the next visit to these shores.
