I’ll let the taper describe the evening -

“Tonight though was something else. After witnessing Dublin in front of about 1,000 people I come to Hull, the Welly. It holds barley 250 people at the most. It's been snowing on Easter Sunday. Today has been sunny, then snowing, then windy, then a hailstorm. The weather can't make up it's mind. And being on the east coast on the arse end of England, it's freezing.

However, tonight The Fall are just the best band you've ever seen. They are tight, sharp, focused and determined to put on a great gig. They did just that. I've seen them about 70 times over the last 22 years and this one was really up there with the best. Last week they played Dublin, very good indeed (partly due to the enthusiasm of a Fall starved Ireland). Tonight though they were something else. Highlights included an excellent I've been duped (more than just a punk song, a pop song). The catchy Latch Key Kid and an outstanding (and Dingless)Reformation. Mark decides to throw out the road crew member and tell us what Tommy Shooter is all about. 

The encore Blindness was just awe inspiring... Just when we thought it was all over Mark re-enters the stage sans microphone and lectures the crowd about his Blindman, magnificent. This is up there with one of the finest Fall gigs of all time. This is going to be one hell of an album.”

Lineage
