Swans supporting. £3
David: "We three white suburban middle-class lads walked timidly into London's top gay disco and were served over-priced drinks by moustachioed, mincing barmen wearing tee-shirts torn to reveal the left nipple. First on were the Swans who were very loud, very repetitive and very, very bad. The crowd disappeared for the duration of their set. The Fall finally hit the stage at 12:15 am (thank God one of us was driving) and played a good-natured, rather bouncy set which culminated in an extremely wide cross-section of people gathering into circles and jumping on the spot to 'Wings' with big silly grins on their faces. Many cries during the set for 'Over The Hill' - presumably 'Clear-Off!'. Real 'pop' stand-outs were 'Copped It' and 'No Bulbs' which didn't seem to be anything like the Fall I'd been listening to for the past two years. A good night out, and one reason why 1984 was the year I went totally 100% Fall mad."

David: "This venue was essentially a village hall-type affair, the last place on earth you would imagine booking such surefire ticket-sellers as the Fall. Amazingly, the show was absolutely superb, beginning with a wonderful 'Garden' and reaching its zenith with 'Totally Wired'. Still one of the best Fall shows I've seen, despite the meatheads who seemed determined to upset everyone around them. Mark wore a nice leather-and-suede jacket, if I remember correctly."

- "I've memorised the works of David Bowie... yeah!" (during Copped It)
David: "A decent set, with a fabulous 'Elves' and Craig on acoustic guitar, but ruined by the brain-dead element intent on ruining everybody's day by piling into them at every opportunity. Music aside, the most memorable aspect of this show was the fact that the band were pelted with cans for almost the entirety of their performance. One was about an inch from MES' face when he suddenly twitched to the right and let it sail past him. Pretty cool. Anyway, the reason for the cans was that a large section of the crowd wanted the previous act to continue, rather than listen to the boring old Fall. The previous band was called New Model Army. Their bassist stood on one leg and gyrated as if he was battling agonising constipation. Their singer called himself Slade The Leveller. One of their songs went (and I don't know if this was meant to be satirical or not) 'I believe in justice ... I believe in vengeance ... I believe in getting the bastards ... getting the bastards'. Enough said. I used to have loads of photos from this gig but they seem to have disappeared. I was right at the front, too."

"... not even young Brix! ... All this at around 45 minutes of gig for £4.50 ... I often think of Fall songs as being sketches which always manage to transcend their half-worked ineptitude, and of their being able to do this because E. Smith’s stony idiom, diction and phraseology (not to say sheer sonic imagination) always act as a permanent incident. ...

"The Hacienda was full ... God knows what they must have thought of the dickheads who shouted for the six year old 'Rowche Rumble'. ... Not content with having regressive vision, the crowd plunged further into the depths of mindlessness. When the Fall were offstage in between encores, the imbeciles decided to show off their obscene vocabulary, seemingly in an effort to impress each other. I mean, can you see the point in paying £3.50 to see a band and then spend ten minutes calling them "sods/ lazy bastards/ miserable fuckers/ a bunch of wankers"? I can't. ... a band as vibrant and stimulating as the Fall deserve a better class of audience. (Milly Rhener, "The Fall, Hacienda 18th October 1984," Debris, no. 7, April 1985).
The flyer advertised the gig for October 25 - they moved the Hacienda gig up a week. Thanks to the Manchester Disctrict Music Archive for the ticket and Marcus Parnell for the flyer.

Gary: "Friends travelled from all across East Anglia to catch this show. Being just 17 at the time, we foolishy assumed that this might be the only time we'd ever get to see The Fall! Of course, it was the only time I'd get to see the two drummer line-up, which was overwhelming - super-tight, really loud and hard sounding. If i remember right, I read an interview with Mark a few weeks later where he said that John Leckie was doing the live sound on that leg of the tour and that he had everyone's ears bleeding! I don't remember the exact set, but I'm pretty sure it was much the same as the rest of that tour. Oh, and support act was Creation act The Jazz Butcher, bizarrely featuring David Jay from Bauhaus on bass! A few years later I was working in the restaurant at Sadler's Wells Theatre, so I got to see a few songs of The Fall every night for two weeks during the Kurious Oranj show."

"The wall of rhythm generated by the Hanleys and the great and loyal Karl Burns is huge and brutal. Craig Scanlon and Brix Smith drill shockingly harsh metallic guitars into the heart of the beast. Where the babblings of the wordSmith used to be a constituent part of an urban guerilla cell - mercurial, fragmented, chancy - they now find themselves riding atop Krupp’s wet dream, a black, invincible war machine. The noise is crude, cruel, inescapable and authoritarian. Smith has always been a lucky bastard, chucking his writing bag of words into the music like a carcass into a set of propellers, to watch the results spin off not as gore and offal, but diamonds, a tour de force of inexplicable sorcery.
