Live at the Manchester MOHU 2009

When Mark E Smith died in January 2018, an era ended with him. An English post-punk band, formed in 1976 in Prestwich, Greater Manchester who underwent many lineup changes, with vocalist and founder Smith as the only constant member. First associated with the late 1970s punk movement, The Fall's music underwent numerous stylistic changes, often concurrently with changes in the group's lineup. Nonetheless, their music has generally been characterised by an abrasive, repetitive guitar-driven sound, tense bass and drum rhythms, and Smith's caustic lyrics. They were always at their best on stage, and this collection captures them in full flow. Fantastic!
