The Fall - Peel Session 1981 (II)

[@martinfallfan]

Ah brilliant. Also a photo taken by me at north London poly!

[@martinfallfan]

It was 1981. Remember it being a good gig.I put the photos on the Fall website a about 10 years back. I keep seeing them crop up all over the place now. I used to go to all the Fall's London dates back then. I still go occasionally now.

Banging version of deer park

[@smw2009]

This version of Look, Know might be my favorite fall song.

[@ericrhodes5174]

It's beautiful.

[@thisisnotausername]

@@ericrhodes5174 This session certainly has my favorite version of "Who Makes the Nazis?" Love the ukelele.

[@terrypussypower]

The first full song written solely by Steve Hanley, according to Steve.

[@jemima216]

[@solaravus.education]

My favourite of their Peel Sessions - always riveting

[@mikeuk4130]

I agree, although I also really like the Session with the brilliant Middlemass.

[@MadderMel]

I saw them first at Trinity Hall in Bristol , don't remember the year , but they played The Man Whose Head Expanded , Paul Hanley was in the band , Brix wasn't in the band then ! Would've loved to have seen Marc Riley , so I do wonder how long he'd been out of the band at that time !

[@MadderMel]

I think the lineup in that gig , was Smith , S.Hanley , Scanlon and the two drummers Burns and P.Hanley !

*"H-happy memories* / *leave a bitter taste"* 🎶

[@fredanderica]

Deer Park most possibly the best song written

[@christopherogley1714]

Fine bit of classic fall scat

[@christopherogley1714]

Makes matteresses uncovered and street signs that you never saw sound as bleak as sadleworth moor on a Sunday...mint vocal atmosphere set up to the song.

[@garryhutchinson5579]

brilliant...

[@ferroxglideh5621]

Asked politely about how to spare an idea about 1981, no problems cutey.

[@franklippert4278]

There was a feminists Austin maxi parked outside With anti-nicotine anti-nuclear stickers on the side On the inside and they didn't even smoke

[@cmds4397]

Great

[@cobaltbattery4657]

Ya this hard to pick a fav or five but this is up there...ya second tune fits me

[@darylcumming7119]

😊.

[@LeBrutalTube]

Scanlon, Smith, Hanley, Burns & Riley?...

[@mikeuk4130]

The 24 March ‘81 set (4th, before this one) features Smith, Riley, Scanlon, Hanley x2 and Dave Tucker.

[@christopherogley1714]

Not a bad ethos is it...you should always know what you look like marquis.....of course you should...I always get a wash I don't give a fuck what I look like...haha.. genius

[@lukeheywood7334]

Slang truth

[@michaellakey3565]

Smiths vocals were authentic Manc' back then. Horrific weird Yank imitation drawl crept in around 1990. Ruined the band's and his own style thereafter.
