Eleni smirking at the line about pissing on the towel at 4.10 is adorable

[@derekrushton1705]

I saw this a long time ago on the internet, maybe vimeo, but it was removed. I'm so glad it's back on the internet. A great performance.

[@ronanconnolly2196]

In the future it will be taken down again. There will never be another performer like this man.

[@FadGadget1]

The hook/key change at 6:15 is epic.

[@sanchopanzam8]

Totally garage!

[@speeduser3597]

Its an excerpt of Inferior Product Man.

I'm 60 now. there is no age in this. there never was

[@rickschmoo]

I play this every day now since I turned 50 :-D

[@ctburcham]

He fools with that megaphone like an 80 year old man with a vcr

[@pauldove966]

Insane barely-contained-chaos intensity from the backing band is really quite impressive. Grumpy vocalist whingeing about Virgin trains not bad either.

[@edwardgeorge8025]

this affirms life.

[@brentweigelt5365]

[@middleagedpunk8923]

[@FromTheMoshPit]

Best band ever. Check out "the biggest library yet". 30+ albums....thank me later.

[@Undertaker_Deluxe]

noise)

[@awrogers3013]

Inferior product mix……..audio adrenaline

[@michaellakey3565]

Well into his weird fake yank whatever it is voice, there. Should have stuck to his pre 1990 Manchester authentic. His delivery sounded a bit ridiculous ever since

[@michaellakey3565]

What's with the prehistoric Walkman speaker garble held to the mic?. Still, MESer's jigsaw scatter lyrics make about as much sense as well. Where would he have been without John Peel's airplay? He'd have struggled to get any musicians to.put up wirh his brash character for long thats 4sure.
