Ian: My favourite Fall moment was from the very first time I saw them at Manchester Poly in 1980. Someone in the crowd lobbed a beer can up and hit MES with it. MES didn't blink and carried on the song without pausing. At the end of the song he went over to Hanley and Scanlon who pointed out somebody in the crowd about half way back. MES shouts you fucking ugly twat and walks off stage reappearing a minute later in the crowd striding over to the can lobber and smacking him one in the face. A magic moment.

- "This is an old cabaret number. I wrote it back in 1951." (before "In My Area")
- "What a load of crap that was" (after In My Area)
- "Come on ...okay...you fucking ugly twat" (to someone in audience during The NWRA)...
- "What about the Liverpool bands who are a (fucking?) disgrace, escapist disgrace..."
- "Spiders know these things. Why are you shits here? (...) Sorry about the incident before." (before "City Hobgoblins")
- "(...) This is first with a few hits for the knuckleheads in the... crowd. Ok!" (before "New Face in Hell") 
- "What do you expect (...)? Let's hear it for the star man. He's just a normal guy - he's like *you* and *you*. Right, story!" (before "Jawbone
and the Air Rifle")
