The Fall - Leeds, O2 Academy, 2nd October 2009

It seems like far too long since we last engaged in some Smith worship so let’s put that to rights. I was actually supposed to be going to this gig but as luck would have it found myself in Peterborough on that day so it was impossible. That sort of thing always seems to happen when The Fall visit my neck of the woods. They played in my home town of York last year on the only day for months I wasn’t in the City. Still at least there always seems to be someone ready to record the proceedings and share with the rest of us. Credit for this one goes to Mr/Mrs Foxyducker for whom, if I had my way a knighthood would be just around the corner.
A very good performance by the mighty ones with "Bury" sounding particularly fine. Really can’t wait for the new album which looks likely to be released in January making 2009 one of those rare years without a new Fall album. Apparently it’s going to be called "Our Future, Your Clutter", read into that what you will.
Enjoy…
