The Fall + De Doelen + Rotterdam + April 13 1982

[@PontiacS.]

This is the lineup I saw in Sept. 1982. Still one of Greatest shows I've ever seen. The show I saw Mark E. had his Microphone plugged Into a Guitar Amp and then the Amp was Mic'd through the P.A. A Basement club, all ages afternoon show of about 300 kids. I was 16.

[@mikeschieffer4206]

Flat of Angles!! what a treat and to my mind THE greatest Fall line-up of all

[@dirtypearl]

"Flat of Angles" is a huge fave of mine too, cheers!

[@BTANETANETANETANE]

i never really thought it was a highlight on Dragnet, but Flat of Angles is absolutely magnificent here. of course the whole thing is great

6am, perfect way to start the day. The Mighty Fall. One of their best sets ever IMO

[@dirtypearl]

yesssss cheers

[@vollsticks]

Holy shit this is incredible Christ, to have seen this line-up live...the only reason to invent time-travel technology

[@genki2genki]

The incredible version with Paul and Karl drumming. Unfucking real.

[@johnnydeutschemark3620]

Tuesday night in Rotter-Damn!

[@stevencowie7151]

Nothing like it then, nothing like it now. A genre to themselves. RIP. KUDOS.

[@christopherogley1714]

I listen to 6 music and it's astonishing how many fall influenced bands there are of late....1 of if not the most influential post punk bands of all time?quite possibly

[@tomdarby4906]

a wonderful recording! He was all of that. Hip Priest, the Petty Thief Lout, the Squid Lord and the Slang King all in one. Shuffled off in those Czech shoes....slip down easy MES

[@daledillard4326]

Great early version of tempo house very different

[@skipbosco7467]

Great set! Wow. Thanks.

[@TravisBickle1963]

Filmed by Do Baks & Marco Van Der Houven, unearthed and shared by moi.

[@statementallity]

Gotta be my personal all time fav gig ever!!!!

[@WeAreTheFallPod]

So good. Love this entire set. Cheers!

[@creepycrawl]

OMG!! THANK YOU 🙏I'd only ever seen a couple of clips from this. Double drummer classic line up, amazing set list and almost professional quality filming. Peerless 👍✌️💖

[@davidb8731]

The (Hexen) Definitive line up, not enough Marc Riley Fall stuff out there

[@daledillard4326]

Almost professional?

[@gargantuk]

The mighty Fall at one of their peaks. Nice to hear Riley playing on Hexen Definitive......although Smithy much better at other gigs...Great set list though. What a group.

[@chriswilks5907]

What a class upload. The Fall at their amazing best.

[@jackyoung2879]

Astonishingly good, unbeatable setlist

[@leecooper8983]

Good memories of the group from the long long days. Thanks for the uploads.

[@ZINCOVIX8754]

Dear god that version of Prole art threat was astonishing.

[@Jason.Loewenstein]

Pure gold!!!!!!!

[@vulpespersona]

Galloping

[@Jason.Loewenstein]

Holy hell. Thank you.

[@costas2by4]

What a gig, probably one of the best I've ever seen or watched.

[@laurents.8552]

proprement hallucinant .ma période préférée de The Fall. Combien ce gars me manque et quelle génie.

[@GerryBellesquire]

Sound quality surprisingly good for '82... wonder if it's been cleaned up in the meantime?

[@darrenelgar9445]

If I had a time machine........

[@seanocalaghan2225]

This is class thank you so much what a performance and band

[@newpuritan9292]

What a band and what a performance - so tight and focussed. Saw them many times during this period - amongst the most wonderful and frightening nights of my life. Special mention to Blue Note gig in Derby - terrifyingly intense, if you were there you'd not forget it. Manic throng at the front (pre 'mosh pit'; an amorphous amphetamine blob - no aggressive elbow stuff in those heady days) but stand back and see the somewhat amused onlookers. Memories.

[@ennbee2051]

WTF! Has the holy grail of unearthed Fall been uploaded to YT?! Awesome.

[@daledillard4326]

This is the all male heavy occult meaning hidden version of the Fall. Incredible the female influence on the fall has always been a positive thing but you know when you're a false song and there's no female influence it's an entirely different animal and it's fantastic. New band has been or will be like this again this is a one-off and we are lucky to live and it's time. Especially we that lived along the same timeline.

[@_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_]

The same can be said about SWANS.

[@steverushton8193]

Another gr8 upload thank you

[@rjtas]

Thanks for the upload!

[@spensert4933]

At his peak!

[@croiners4166]

What a tucking show!

[@gdda2891]

cool early version of Backdrop, which is imo the best Fall song

[@costas2by4]

Thanks you dirtypearl for this upload. All the best to you

[@db9800]

Did somebody turn Steve down during "The Classical"?

[@raymondweiss2707]

Thank you so much for uploading this, I've always wished I could have seen them live in 82 and this is the next best thing.

[@raymondweiss2707]

"Heard Kraftwerk in 82" lol

[@raymondweiss2707]

Shit AND Karl Burns picks up a bass on Solicitor in Studio! I had no idea he was doing that line, man he is the fucking best.

[@christopherogley1714]

This is an absolute classic fall gig.. 2 drum lineup..zero distortion or talking. I recon it's straight from the desk brilliant upload. Thank you very much indeed

[@raymondweiss2707]

@@christopherogley1714 Real treat to see Marc Riley playing on a song from Perverted by Language

[@juicerversion1236]

Solicitor in studio killllls me

[@bernicia-sc2iw]

Why is Martin McGuinness on bass ? Anyway , great show.

[@jamesbrodrickmusic9567]

So much energy- terrible sound but you can still feel it

[@sydbarret1973]

Why are all fall gigs in youtube such bad quality?

[@Jlipnicki]

The non-lighting, drummer plays guitar shock. ' Deer Park ' No one in the band looks at each other.

[@snowgirl3522]

TWICE EACH, AT LEAST!

[@christopherogley1714]

Sounds like a sound desk recording

[@chrisbodum3621]

I'm having trouble with the terminology But I'm into CB

[@ennodewitt329]

So intense

[@grahamhill8280]

Last cigarette is indoors because of Hip Priest. Know why the flat smells tomorrow. Last clean dirty shirt in the whordrobe
