Far better gig than last night. MES was on top form and a more polished performance from Blaney too. Sticks as brilliant as yesterday. Great to meet Kurt and a thoroughly enjoyable night in a top venue. Many thanks to Toby- great job!

Everyone's said The Sticks were great. I'll definitely check them out.
Sounds like two great, memorable nights from the majority of reviews. And possibly a one-off if MES and Blaney decide not to do a follow-up.  Thanks for the reviews from both nights, everyone and congratulations to Toby.  -------------------- You might like to scoff and guffaw...

Fantstic night.

The improv stuff MES did when Ed walked off stage and he didn't know if he was coming back was pure genius.
And then when Ed did come back... wow! A wonderful night - I've never seen Mark look so happy, which made me very happy. Rocking! -------------------- "Never in our full life can we hope to do such work for tolerance, justice, for man's understanding of man, as now we do by accident.

Yes. He is one of the "blokes". He waltzed with me at the end. He also grabbed one of the setlists and sold it. Top chap.  -------------------- "Never in our full life can we hope to do such work for tolerance, justice, for man's understanding of man, as now we do by accident.

My Ex Classmates Kids was the last song. The security guy is Joe. His brother played for Crystal Palace. -------------------- Hanleyvision™ http://www.youtube.com/user/hanleyfender

No one has mentioned the most sublime part of the gig, which was when MES went and crouched on the back of the stage steps, behind the curtain, and carried on declaiming, reading his lyrics off some A4, so all we could see was his socks and shoes.
Lovely. -------------------- "Never in our full life can we hope to do such work for tolerance, justice, for man's understanding of man, as now we do by accident.

The bit you describe was when I took that pic of MES & security Joe. And no-one's mentioned MES' completely unexpected penchant for the Stylophone last night! Who's the guy in the grey shirt on the left of Hanley's photo? He was a bit of a provocateur... -------------------- |

Some of this is already up on YouTube - more to follow, I'd wager.
Who was doing the more professional filming on the Friday? -------------------- |

That was the best bit!! Though, oddly, if you showed that to a friend and said; "This is why I love MES!", they may think you are bonkers. -------------------- "Never in our full life can we hope to do such work for tolerance, justice, for man's understanding of man, as now we do by accident.

Two legendary nights...thanks Toby for making this happen and the venue (I'll be back there soon, what a gem!). Agree that second night both MES and Blaney were bang on it. 10/10 even by Fall standards.
Spotted Mrs Smith on her own near the back, she appeared to love the Sticks...if anyone reading this hasn't see them, do check these Monk-esque guys out around Brighton. Two guitars, drums...rotate instruments after each song. Hypnotic brilliance. Skinner's big heeed was transfixed as usual near the front. Apologies to the grey haired chap at the front who I had pop at when leaving...no offence, mate, but berating the crowd after first night for not acting like crowd?? Hilarious! All part of the fun though. But, yeah, the atmosphere WAS better on the 14th. Anyone know what the lad with the little camcorder was doing.... the vox pop thing at the end? |

Oh fuck. I'd forgotten that. Think I went; "Mark E Smith...Briliant... Best thing ever.. Mark... Yes... Brilliant... Ed... Yeah!!" -------------------- "Never in our full life can we hope to do such work for tolerance, justice, for man's understanding of man, as now we do by accident.

The perfect Valentine's gift!
 The red-headed occasional-Stick is also in Hamilton Yarns, I believe? As seen in this February's issue of The Wire mag? -------------------- |

I mentioned the Stylophone on last night's review. But spelt it wrong. Ding dee dee dee-dee ding... Absolute magic! -------------------- "Never in our full life can we hope to do such work for tolerance, justice, for man's understanding of man, as now we do by accident.

Ah yes, "xylopophone", I'd skimmed it as xylophone.
So yes, MES' completely unexpected penchant for both the xylophone and the Stylophone. Proper community centre instruments them! -------------------- |
