"MES started
throwing punches after Reckoning, the target of his venom being
the soundman and Karl Burns, allegedly." This might account
for the very short set. Although Jon followed up with "The Acropolis
gig on Calton Hill was
a blinder in spite of MES's bad mood. They played with two drummers,
Brix had recently rejoined and the band played on quite some time
after MES stormed off. He was eventually persuaded to carry on,
so it wasn't actually that short a set in the end.

A witness: At
the Motherwell Civic Centre 1996 gig I brought my two friends who
were only part-time Fall fans...I bought drinks and was given
change of a twenty from a tenner, which did us alright... as we
were drinking and wandering about we noticed Steve Hanley, Simon
Wolstencroft and Brix Smith sitting on one of the arty benches
that the civic centre seemed filled with. Oh good I thought. My
chance to meet the Fall. As I approached I noticed the long faces,
and the teary eyes of Brix. They were all giving off an air of
'don't come near us', so I didn't bother. Chance blown, never to
come up again. Later I hear that Brix tried to hit Mark with her
guitar. She never appeared on stage. Mark, unfortunately, did,
and peering at the audience shook his head at the fifty- plus crowd
and immediatly tried to pull the band offstage. Hanley refused,
noted by my part-time - fan mates... The gig was a farce...numerous
walk-offs...a guy at the front has what looks like a twenty-four
track studio stuffed up his jumper. I recognise him. 'That the
guy from teh Barras' I say to my friend. 'He sells me Fall Bootlegs'.
My mate asks him if this is true. 'Just enjoy the gig mate' the
guy says, staggering away. After fourty-five minutes Mark E grabs
a guitar and hides behind a speaker, strumming and grinning with
no teeth. What a disaster. Every time I bring my mates to a Fall
concert it is crap. No other word for it. Wierdly, every time I
bring a woman they seem to do alright. Is it all my fault?
