On reflection, it quite clearly is the wrong line-up to be having Julian as a roadie. Schoolboy error on my behalf.

I¡¯m guessing 8 Nov 1979 for the gig. The day before The Psychedlic Furs & A Certain Ratio (wow) and a week and a half before the Cure & Associates (wow) and Gang of 4 and Au Pairs (wow). Those were the days!

Go and stand in the corner and think about what you've done. Tsk! Confusing very early line-ups
of The Fall, indeed.
Wow, though, what a line-up of artists.?

I concluded it was probably the 8/11/79 gig too, based on the visible personnel and not being able to see Yvonne Pawlett (her last gig being 28 July).? She might just have been out of shot, of course, but 8 November is the best bet. ? Dan ? Sent from for Windows ?

MES isn't a misanthrope, especially by today's screen and self obsessed standards.
?
Largely on the road and in pubs. More social contact with far more people than most.
?
A series of wives rather than a one night stand rock star lifestyle, as far as I can tell.
?
The remark: something like "I met brix and so we got married" or some such. I wonder if that was a visa thing though - like Cleese and Connie Booth.
?
His criticisms seem to be those of an artist and I love the "God help us if there's a war" initial reaction to the Smiths - spot on.
I was and am now much happier when Morrissey is hated by the media establishment. It was horrible in the 2000s when everyone on telly was a Smiths fan, telling us how much better his shite middle aged albums were.
I'm glad they never quite reduced MES to a national treasure, though they wanted to, but I am bitterly sorry he died when he did. I bet he would would have napalmed the fuckers expecting him to sit at home on handouts for 18 months playing
with his ipad
?
Cliff damn you, Nina, for making me read a music journalism article, but I cannot resist MES^Mozzer
?
"there last LP hooked me with its poetry and power.¡±? Oh dear.
But Tom Taylor published NINE articles today (yesterday) so we might forgive him
?
He has published ca 1000 articles in the past six months.
Bot? Fake name for unpaid interns? cold reheated cut n pastes? (this one rehashes a mag artcl)
?
Yet he still has time to give moral lectures to his elders and betters, as is always the way with music journalists. Right back to the big names of the 1960s.
?
MES escapes censure and even gets a condescending pat on the head by the simpering little teenaged prick in the article conclusion
"how commendable it was for the punk frontman to contribute to a gay magazine in the era that it was written."
?
Gosh yes. Remember all those punk frontmen like Sidney Viscous and Susan Sue who uses to wear swastikas in the mid 1980s and there were no free tampons in the men's toilets. Not in My Name said our Mark.

Re: I can hardly believe I saw them AND I can hardly believe I didn't go and see them
Hello,
I think the closest I can come to ANY of the aforementioned (amazing) concert experiences is either
- Amy Winehouse, sober and in GREAT form, in 2007, right as "Back to Black" was starting to gain traction ?or -Arcade Fire, Fiery Furnaces, and the Unicorns on the same bill in 2003, when Arcade Fire was still being marketed as a local Houston band

I saw Radiohead supporting Kingmaker in the (now sadly long-gone) Venue
in Edinburgh.
There was also a juggler on a unicycle who kept dropping stuff and falling
off the bike.? He was great.? I can't remember if he appeared before or
after Radiohead.? Follow that Yorke!
Oh, and Idlewild supported the Fall in the (also sadly long-gone) Cas
Rock.? At least I think they did, I was a bit drunk.

Re: I can hardly believe I saw them AND I can hardly believe I didn't go and see them
AAAAGH! The Fall also played Club Foot in 1981 and I was not hip enough yet to be there. Sad.
Agreed! Totes jelly. Still fairly amazed I saw the Stranglers in Texas twice in 1980-81....At Club Foot. Fairly remarkable that I sold some Thai stick to the Anti-Nowhere League and met the UK Subs in 1981 at Club Foot... Club Foot in ATX seems to be my focus here - also saw U2 there in 80 or 81 and didn't care much for them - still don't. Hah! Never got to the see the Fall until here:
Okay, and now >I< am jealous (Brian Eno!!!)¡ *nina* ? ? Aren¡¯t we though stve. I also recall seeing Rockpile supporting Van Morrison while at college. Rockpile blew the Man away. Not such a shocker, that.? And file this one under ¡°oil and water don¡¯t mix¡±: a new band called Roxy Music, resplendent with a feather-boa¡¯d Brian Eno, supporting the Allman Brothers. ¡°Cultural clash¡± doesn¡¯t really do it justice.? ?

A few years later I saw Talk Talk on one of their last live tours.
I did see The Spice Girls just as they were getting big. My wife's from the south of France
so we were down visiting her family when we decided to go to Cannes for the day, during
the film festival. Walking into town, there was a cheap looking stage set up on the promenade,
with what I first took to be a Spice Girls imitation-type group, until I realised it was the actual
Spice Girls. So I saw them without trying, and without paying.
I'm trying to remember a support act who eventually became "big" but I don't think I saw
any worth mentioning, or if I did, I've forgotten.
