The last ever gig at the Palais. Apart from the bar prices this must be one of the best live music venues. Excellent views and superb sound. The gig only marred by the poor quality of the support acts.
Hammersmith Palais, London.
1 April 2007.
Mark E. Smith (1957-2018) had a difficult and complex personality and was a long-term alcoholic. He was known for his biting and targeted wit, evident in interviews, for which he was much in demand by music journalists throughout his career. He was suspicious of the trappings of fame and largely avoided socialising with people associated with the music scene, including other Fall members. The dark and sardonic aspect of his personality often appears in his lyrics; he especially derided music industry people. Smith's approach to music was unconventional and he did not have a high regard for musicianship, stating that "rock & roll isn’t even music really. It's a mistreating of instruments to get feelings over".

A break from England pics was needed.
Coming up next.... probably England pics :-))
This is from out front of the house, the sun was just perfectly lighting up the maples so in an attempt to capture the color and feel I held the shutter while sweeping the lens across the trees. Can get some pretty weird shots this way.
