Dave Simpson in Leeds University Union - 17 March, 1981, 09:00 PM
from The Fallen / Dave Simpson, page 11:
My own obsession with The Fall started that night, 17th March 1981 - I know the date because I still have the gaudy orange poster I ripped off the walls...The gig was unlike anything I'd seen: the music was uncategorisable - Was it punk? Was it rockabilly? Was it experimental? All three? - but it had a hypnotic tension that seemed to draw me in. Smith stalked the stage, radiating charisma and baffling but important sounding words which seemed to convey urgent truths
