Description
Captured during their first U.S. tour, Live 23rd June 1981 @ Jimmy's Music Club, New Orleans finds The Fall in ferocious form — raw, unfiltered, and defiantly uncompromising. Mark E. Smith leads the charge with his signature sneer, backed by a lineup that includes Marc Riley, Craig Scanlon, and the Hanley brothers. The setlist draws heavily from Slates, Grotesque, and Hex Enduction Hour, offering a snapshot of the band’s evolution from jagged punk to avant-garde agitators.
Released by Cog Sinister in 2019, this CD preserves the chaotic brilliance of a night where the band’s sonic assault met Southern sweat. From the sardonic bite of “Lie Dream of a Casino Soul” to the hypnotic menace of “Hip Priest,” it’s a must-have for collectors chasing the visceral edge of The Fall’s live legacy.
