Describe In Three Words: Angry old man.
Remarkable Moment: Memorable Moments: when Mark E Smith attacks the sound set-up for the first time we assume he’s merely fine-tuning. As he continues doing this throughout the set it suggests that he may be abusing his notoriously curmudgeonly nature, staggering about like a demented embarrassing older uncle.
Crowd Reaction: It’s rammed at the start with people who have heard the reputation and want to have a look, but a lot drift away and by the end it’s only fans, a lot of whom leave disappointed by the side/freak show of Smith’s.
EP Rating: 3 – and that’s because it’s a chance to see a legend of music.
