God, it sounds oddly like Mogwai at the start.

my favorite version of this song especially the last minute

This has to be pitched up, right? The speed feels alright, but I've never heard them tune sharper than F# standard and this sounds at least a half step higher. Also the piano at 0:55 was an interesting touch.

absolute buffoons whistling and whining over what sounds like a great performance. to think we only have three recordings of asleep and this one is ruined by a crowd of troglodytes

Wowwww

This photo is so interesting because before the band Morrissey was a writer..

This was only played live by the smiths once, because the venue refused to move a piano off stage so they just took that as an opportunity to play this. I can't believe there is even a recording. Marr is a genius on guitar I can't believe he wrote this piano piece as well and Moz is Moz obviously. The audience should of been in tears but I'm fortunate this exists at all.

This was so gold! Thanks Ann!

“Black is how I feel on the inside.” 👍

Reminds me of sipping espresso in my friends basement banging on the vox player and listening to the Velvet Underground... those were times...!

Those drums 🤣😅😅

5:00

4:00

2:30

Never heard that version before! I’m 55 and an alltime follower of Moz!!! Thanx for posting!💎

Ask is about shyness but the best lyrics concern the bomb that brings the listeners together.

💔💔

Really good

the vocals being a bit higher is interesting

Don’t matter how many versions you hear of this song it’s so timeless.

better than the original(s?) :)

Merci.

THANKS

The Smiths truly were a special group

Is this an edited version or was originally an instrumental? Thanks for uploading!!

This is really good.

The Cookies did this

Andy bass great!!

Does anyone have the lyrics?

Qué batería, OMG!

I am partial to Tate and Street and the BBC sessions. But this one is murkier and Porters is superior in sparkle and clarity. But I do like the outro closing with the ‘Asleep’ piano gently playing.

Happy birthday morrysey 😀

Perfect picture as always! Thank you!

Free 🇵🇸

The best Smiths

<333 the way he sing "the passing of time and all of its crimes is making me sad aGAIN" aaaaaah

OK so this version is without the piano..OK,yeah it works.

I'd like to drop my trousers to the world I am a man of means, of slender means Each household appliance Is like a new science in my town And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean And when a train goes by, it's such a sad sound No, no, no, no, no It's such a sad thing I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen Every sensible child will know what this means The poor and the needy Are selfish and greedy on her terms And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean And when a train goes by, it's such a sad sound No, no, no, no, no It's such a sad thing And when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death And neither one particularly appeals to me And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie In the middle of the street and die I'd lie down and die, oh-oh

bro why did he have to be racist 😭

Anos 80, que saudades. Ouvir uma melodia dessa e como viajar no tempo.
