Morrissey and Marr together will always be much greater than either of them on their own. A brilliant reminder of this fact right in front of us...

Ha, brilliant. I was there! Many thanks for uploading. I was near the front right. Remember it so well. Bizarrely I remember Jonnys oversized jacket and Mikes black vest!? Morrissey changed shirts a fair bit. They were supported by Raymonde, and were at the stage where they always walked on to Prokofiev's Montague and capulets music. Fantastic. About a minute into the classical music they would stride onto stage...the crowd going mental with anticipation. The crowd were loud and started shouting Salford, Salford.....and Morrissey, being a Manc lad shouted back Stretford Stretford (as he's from there).. Some thought he'd got the location wrong! haha....Oh happy days indeed.After all these years, I continually come back to the Smiths as a groundbreaking, phenomenal, unique sounding band.....they were so different, tuneful, humorous. Yes, there's an element of nostalgia to my comments....but weren't they great!.

"he killed a policeman when he was 13 and somehow that really impressed me..." God bless you Morrissey.

The only band on the face of the fucked up Planet Earth to make me feel alive...... to make me feel like I REALLY can survive! I WILL SURVIVE!!!! THXS TO THE SMITHS!!!! THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS=THE SMITHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still dig the opening lyrics of each verse,the idea that the day this persons intelect catches up to their beauty is priceless.

The Smiths was the best thing that happened in music on last century. There is no any other artist to be compared to them. Definately they were the best band of all times. I can't pass a day without listening at least one of their musics.

Best part of the video @ 2:19. So happy Marr played that sick lick live. The other videos of this song live he doesn’t play it.

No words can describe how perfect the smiths music is. No words at all.

BEST BAND EVER

BEST BAND EVER! - the only band that mattered. Best lyricist ever!!!!!!

Dang words cant describe the feeling i get when i hear em' I LOVE The Smiths no other bands can compare to this

Everyone can relate to this song one way or another.

Oh God, you know how I wish I was living my life back then. There will be nothing in the world that surpasses the pleasure of having lived through the 80s and 90s.

i love smiths fans -their commentary on youtube is only ever enthusiastic!!! thanks for the upload!

Looks and sounds so modern.. Amazing

This is a wonderful performance. I LOVE the Smiths!

Absolutely wonderful. No other words.

I was there!

Damh I wish I was there

What a band, such a great sound. Beautifully polished live as well. Incredible.

i always want what i can't have, and once im stop wanting it, i get it.

I think I started to listen to The Smiths in 2005. Been a big fan since... and for every day since I understand how immense it must have been to see Marr and Moz on the same stage. A reunion would probably bring TOO much people to the gig lol.

great performance!

yeah!!!!

i want to yell these lyrics out into the world.

❤

I agree 100%. You are absolutely right. I make your words mine.

this is England '86!

wow

Anyone got a better audio of this gig?

How the fuck do you write a song like this?

0 dislikes! yeaah baby (:

That Gannon!

compare this to his current glastonbury 2011.. the vigors of youth have been diminished.. and johnny's twang has been compensated to three guitars :((((

"I want the one I can't have, and it's driving me mad. It's all over, all over, all over my face!..." 😏

they sound much better live with Gannon

top le mozz

joy division another manc band before
