Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting The Fall's highly anticipated 1981 tour of the United States, this record captures the band's abrasive, repetitive energy in front of stateside audiences. The rough audio quality underscores Mark E. Smith's cryptic lyrics and the group's increasingly complex, rhythm-focused instrumentation.
