NOTES
85 minutes (approx)
A reasonable audience recording. Before commencing Mark asks Kay to get “Riley’s Harmonica” which is apparently in his coat pocket. Before Joker some wag in the audience asks for “Bingo Masters” and continues to yell for it before The Classical. He intermittently appears after this in his vain attempt to get the group to raid the back catalogue.
“Mark Smith is the hip shepherd leading a priesthood of Catholic Fall-guys. Together they steal thunder from a redundant rock machine and plough the plundered product into a suspect antithetical device … There’s been nothing but good said about the two drummers but tonight, with Hanley and Burns closeted discreetly away in dark Blue Note recesses, the effect is more blanket-noise than rhythmic bounce …” (Amrik Rai, ‘The Fall, Derby’, NME, 8 May 1982, p. 44.)
