Audio Audience Recording - two versions 


Two versions are in circulation. Both are reasonable quality audience recordings.


A fantastic one-off gig. After a short break over the Xmas period 2005 the Fall were back on the road with a specially arranged gig at Club Nirvana in Wigan.


Seasoned Fall watchers commented that this was one of the tightest gigs in a long while. It is dominated by a phenomenal 15 minute version double version of "What About Us?" however one cannot overlook the close on 8 minute version of "Touch Sensitive" taken at a ridiculously Ramones like pace.


The encores are made special by a 12 minute performance of "Blindness" which has a fascinating extended intro ......


A gig that every serious Fall collector should own.
