Title: Windsor Theatre Royal
Description: Thursday, 1st October 2009
Billybigbananas - October 2, 2009 01:16 AM (GMT)
Set was roughly...
Can Can Summer
Fall Sound
Wolf Kidult Man
New Song (or at least I didn't recognise it)
Cowboy George
I'm Not From Bury
I've Been Duped
Psykick Dancehall
1969 (Stooges cover - aborted)
Reformation
Good set - a bit more "awkward" than the last time I saw them, which is a good thing.
lordy look at the time,
night night!

i did enjoy the open sores - the singer is apparently 60 - his pogoing waned towards the end of the set, and he had to sneak off stage for a blast of his asthma inhaler - but all very entertaining.
the fall sound was pretty poor, at one stage the pa gave up the ghost completely and the only sound was leaking out of the foldback.
sat just behind frank skinner, who seemed to be enjoying himself.
hats off the front row lunatic who gyrated across seats A 2-9 for most of the fall set.
and fall fans drank the bar dry - all the beer gone.

with appropriate lyrical amendment:
"Last year I was 51, didn't have a lot of fun / now I'm gonna be 52, well oh my and a-boo-hoo".

I suspect he has a yet to be diagnosed medical condition.
The set list said 1969/Reformation so perhaps 1969 wasn't aborted merely that they merged. Couldn't make out the name of the unknown track.
Strange venue, thoroughly enjoyed though.
Particularly the meandering around Greenaway and tangling up the mic with Greenaway's mic stand, and being totally oblivious to it all.
Eleni mouthed a thank you to me at the end of the set for rescuing the batteries from the thingymagig that fell off her keyboard

new song contained the reported title of the new album, tho' I think he actually said "your future, our clutter".
Also, the lines from the backdrop "Unknown Knowledge, Unknown footage, Unknown facts" were repeated in one song, tho' memory is clouded as to whether it was that one or one of the other unreleased songs.
Could've sworn I saw Jimmy Page in the Thai Place, beforehand!?!? Is he local?
Didn't see him at the venue.

He does live in Windsor, in Michael Caine's old "gaffe".

ach, that means I saw the Marmot but didn't pay much attention at the time.
I wasn't the headbanger down the front, btw.

White hair, indeed. On the way in my partner said "that looks like MES with a long white ponytail" (I didn't look knowing that MES doesn't have a long white ponytail).
On the way out, I said, "that's Jimmy Page".
Also previously saw Spurr/Greenaway/Melling in a curry house on Cricklewood Broadway before one of the Galtymore gigs and served Scanlon a pint in the White Horse in Bristol before they played the University.
A propos of nothing.
avarice - October 2, 2009 06:08 PM (GMT)
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Crazy venue to see The Fall in. Thought they were on top form myself (8th time) and actually enjoyed sitting down watching MES do whatever it is he does as opposed to standing behind the tall men
smp - October 2, 2009 06:37 PM (GMT)
Good night - incongrous venue added to it. Watched from a box which gave a very different view.
Highlight of the night was the bloke in the front row falling over the balustrade.
Mystery of the night was why was it half empty, I had trouble booking tickets due to being sold out?
Hanley Played a Fender P - October 2, 2009 08:05 PM (GMT)
Reformation confirmed as the new Blindness.

I just assumed that was audacious pre-cog verbal pyrotechnics on EC's part.

Was he DINING WITH SATAN ....MWWAAHAHHHAHHH..... :devil: ?
chrisgoodhead - October 4, 2009 10:21 AM (GMT)
I'm listening to the upload on Dime now... the new song is Sloppy Floor - already played a couple of times at recent shows.
Mere Pseud. - October 4, 2009 03:17 PM (GMT)
I've just been playing the recording of this show twice in a row. It really shows they were in the studio as the new songs now sound far more developed than before. Raises the expectations for the upcoming album even higher, whenever it will arrive.
bhantu - October 5, 2009 09:15 AM (GMT)
I see from the photos on the news page that the guitarist is playing a gretsch
this is a good move
I wonder if he was allowed to use the whammy bar tho'
Im looking forward to the exeter gig now

Billybigbananas - October 5, 2009 09:41 AM (GMT)
I don't suppose a kind person could get this up on a rapidshare for those of us without Dime? I for one would be grovellingly grateful... :)

Can't get this to work, any advice?
On edit:
Think I''ve got it now, Thanks
On Edit (again):
only managed Can Can Summer before I got booted off. :grrr:
Adam's II - October 7, 2009 05:15 PM (GMT)
Unknown Knowledge, Unknown footage, Unknown facts are lyrics from Cowboy George/Gergori. At least as best as I can recall from a bootleg I heard a few months back.

thought he lived in, erm, South Stoke? don't meanoop north, I mean the scenic place with the rolling hills like American praeries, just off the Reading to Oxford road (A4074)?
anyway re this gig, I missed it sadly, was a bit skint, a shame as I'd wanted to see them play the playhouse. No matter, I'll see a play there sometime when I'm better off.
A lady at a car boot fair I was at said, on seeing some spare Fall cd's I was selling, exclaimed "did you see them at Windsor!?" I said sadly no.
I thought she was going to say how much she liked it.
She did and she didn't.
"he was sort of our era...never seen them before. He had no stage presence, and a beergut! The band were brilliant though!"
"No stage presence...that keyboard player though..." "Eleni" "she was better, she was really good!"
So there you go, the outsider / non committed fan view.

That was Jimmy Page's wife.
merywyn - October 21, 2009 01:19 PM (GMT)
Jimmy Page lives in Sonning on Thames and can often be seen knocking about the village - he doesn't look too bad - it comes to us all....
How can I get to listen to the sets on "Dime" - I am about 12 months behind since last watching the mighty Fall and I need to catch up before the Koko gig..
Cheers

who did sing in the background the second male vocals during Reformation?
Pete or does it come from tapes?
def. a highlight!
listen to Keiron!

MES put the mic into the audience for Reformation, so the second singer is "unknown"!
He did a sterling job though, even got a wink from MES at the end.
mjungblu - November 1, 2009 07:30 PM (GMT)
cheers for your info.
indeed a fantastic contribution!
it is a very long passage innit? is fitting in through the whole track.
