THE FALL Last Night At The Palais CD/DVD SPECIAL ED NEW

2009 re-release CD/DVD set package of a vintage The Fall show that was the final concert played in London's Hammersmith Palais. Fall singer Mark E Smith would no more issue a valediction to the iconic venue than he would come on stage in a tutu or sing in Swahili. Thirty years into their career, The Fall retain their singular, ascetic purity. This CD/DVD (NTSC format) is a mass of contradictions, and a great alternative rock record by a man who still thinks alternative rock is for ponces. Original made in EU, NEW sealed!

On January 21st 2007, the Hammersmith Palais, one of London’s most historic music venues was condemned to suffer the fate of other prestigious halls in the capital and in the name of homogenous urban progress, close its doors to be converted into an office complex and restaurant. By a strange quirk of fate, the last band to ever play there was The Fall. Their Hammersmith gig on 1st April had been booked as part of their 20 date UK spring tour to promote the release of their 27th album, Reformation Post TLC.
