Mark E Smith is a shock, G and I were shocked to discover that he was only 60, he looked far older and really feeble. As said, he’d been reported to be ill but nobody knew why.
We saw The Fall a few times, and one show is on our Top Five shows of All Time, at the Metro in Chicago, I think in around 2005, they didn’t go on stage until around 1 am, then Mark sat at a long conference table all night with various mics, holding them up in various directions, and sometimes getting up and walking around, but it was all TIGHT and MEZMERIZING and INTENSE and unforgettable.
RIP, Mark. You are a legend.
