I'm always blown away by the quality of Morrissey's live performances. His voice is so fucking spot on.

You know a band is great when all of their live performances on KZfaq are choppy VHS recordings, and yet they still sound amazing.

Andy''s playing is damn gorgreous

This song always brings me back...High School, emotional and crying into my pillow listening to this song after school. One of my Favorites of all time. Passion is under- rated.

In Morrissey's own words these are songs for life and people will be playing them for a long time yet.

This song is so fucking beautiful.

ive been listening to the smiths solidly for 1 year (dont attack me im 14) and im still not bored they are without the best band ever in my mind theyve got everything a band needs. and more

How are they not in the rock and roll hall of fame? This song is so hauntingly beautiful, reminds me of a beautiful time in high school 1992

Proof that the 'song' is the most important element to a great band. It is so simple, hardly anything going on, simple drums, simple guitar, simple bass and a strong melody. Just brilliant.

The Smiths - Quite simply, one of the best...ever.

The melody is unbeatable

Masterpiece...

I liked the Smiths before I heard this but hearing this for the first time was a jaw dropping moment, I lived and breathed the debut album as an 18 year old in 1984.

You are so right!!!! I was exposed to the smiths only about a year ago!!! :-(((( hey are definitely the best band in the magical 80's, and on top 5 or 3 of all times, alongside U2, the cure and REM!!! Aviad, Israel.

Andy rouke it's very brilliant.... I love

A massively significant band

i love this song

wow. the sound on this is amazing for a live show on VHS. thanks for posting.

Can someone explain me why the hell I was born only in 1979????? I missed their peak years - and yet, I do fill my soul with all the "absent" oxygen!!!!! THE SMITHS=THE OXYGEN OF MY LUNGS. PERIOD.

"Oh, people see no worth in you, but I do" Brilliant, I love you Morrissey

the best song of The Smiths!

In his "Who put the M in Manchester" video he said "You've made a happy man very old." It was his 45th birthday.

I think this is one of the most brilliant songs ever written. It means alot to me. It was big when I was a teenager. I related to it so much.

Another smiths classic. Greatest band the UK has ever produced. What a sound, still unique 20 years later

Shocked and saddened to hear about Andy Rourke. This was the one that got me hooked.

The band is amazing... one of the more beautiful sons in my opnion...

Smiths are the most amazing band in history. The chemistry between Morrissey and Marr will never again be repeated by anyone.

Morrissey is an angel sent by God...

The Smiths - one the most important bands I've ever listened to.

The Smiths were virtually unknown at this time and the Hacienda attracted a very different crowd than other venues did.

I was born in '89. It makes me sad too. Not only that, but think about how much great music they would have made if they continued on!

Total genius

I Love this genial man.

was thinking of a "greatest first track of first LP" list (e.g., "Tears of Rage", "Runnin With the Devil", 'Radio Free Europe", "Waiting Room"), forgot about this one. also really great performance, tyvm for uploading

A beautiful song, simply beautiful.

What a tune.

Perfection. Music for my soul.

WONDERFUL!

Fantastic video! I love this song. Thank you very, very much for posting.

I watn to die when listening to this song..... when my time is up!

Yeah, you're spot on. It would definitely have been before the Smiths got popular. I used to be raving on that dance floor come 1989, being a Manc myself.

Génial du pur bonheur ..... Very good song ,

Excellent

Damn the smiths sounded exactly like the record live! They sound very well rehearsed

15 Minutes With U, Oh I Wouldn't Say No!!! ANDY ROURKE

Simplemente hermoso

They dont make bands like The Smiths anymore its really sad!

They were awesome

Os melhores de todos os tempos.

OMAGGGGGGAAAHHHH slap me on the patio!

Che meraviglia ❤️😍

Wow Johnny’s playing this with tremolo!

fantastic, a real taste of the original Manchester at no better venue than the Hacienda, collossal.

wow, amazing. I really REALLY want the debut now! I own Singles, a fantastic introduction. I'm anxious to purchase some studio albums!!

Power ballad 🥲

I LOVE MORRISSEY!

They were just starting and already they sounded on point, just flawless

You can pin and mount me like a butterfly.....youre the bees knees BUT SO AM I

Fucking unfathomable ❤️

simplemente hermosa

This is your new anthem if you knew it, grab it!

One of my best ten

i agree. I m in the same mood

"Fifteen minutes with you, I wouldn't say no....." :-)))

WTF?! THE Smiths making history and everybody in the audience looks..bored (?) wish i was there (like an insane groupie,of course) lol

wow, their early performances and debut album really set a standard

@thereddrums I was 16 it was freeekin brilliant.

Someone said that the crowd were half dead and they were full right!!!!

That guitar with tremolo is something else innit?

fuckin fantastic

I'm a 15 year old girl listening to this and no i'm not a hipster -revolted face- i have loved the smiths since the age of 9. stupid hipsters listening to amazing songs like this for street cred.

15 minutes with moz..well i wouldn't say no

The best band ever walked upon this fuckin' and miserable planet. period. Apology in advance to all the other bands...... I'M SORRY.........

Suede should cover this song!:)

agreed

Brazil Rio de Janeiro

i dreamnt about you last night x

15 minutos con vos

People said that you were easily led And they were half-right...

People see no worth in you, Oh, but I do Great song!

@steve77london Nice.

I agree with @whitbyjet65

@ecnajhpler 'or one that started listening to them last week' ?

ha ha i was there but to be fair they were just getting going and it was a while after this that they made it big not everyones cup of tea but i liked them thou his voice does drone on a bit i prefred the bunnymen

Gen X's James Dean

where?

Morrissey is God!

Well ...

does indie say anything to you?^^

henry who?

@jod1jod What? What a silly thing to say. So let me get this straight, you think Morrissey is a talent but you only want him to sing about things you approve of? Or 'nice

*goes back to sit in bedroom with a laptop (For me anyway)*

to me it's street cred to have an opinion, street cred is not listening to something that you are supposed to listen to (hence this means you have non opinion, and therefore don't think for yourselfe)

morrissey was accused of condoning child abuse after this song was released.

I met morrissey once, tongue tied and confused, too emotionally inept to converse
