Description
Captured during a turbulent yet creatively charged period for The Fall, Live at the Astoria 1995 showcases Mark E. Smith and company in full confrontational glory. Released on CD by Cog Sinister in 2018, this raw and unfiltered performance blends lo-fi grit with garage rock swagger, reflecting the band’s uncompromising ethos. With a lineup featuring Brix Smith, Craig Scanlon, Stephen Hanley, and Karl Burns, the setlist spans fan favourites, deep cuts, and blistering renditions from Cerebral Caustic and Middle Class Revolt. The venue’s intimate chaos and Smith’s acerbic delivery make this a must-have for collectors and post-punk purists alike.
