The Smiths - You've Got Everything Now - Live

[@sinbin55671]

LOL Morrissey:"Hello you little charmers we are the smiths!!!" Crowd: Silence, awkward claps

[@ROCKSTARS_HQ]

🖤🖤

[@mish7407T]

I would go insane honestly

[@retrogal96]

"Hello you little charmers" =p love it !!!!

[@hatakekakashizzz6033]

yeahh

[@WoodlouseSeven]

How do you do? We're the Smiths!

[@retrogal96]

absolutely adore Morrissey=)

[@user-jj4pk5uy2h]

"so there!"

[@nirau]

that's so sweet

[@SoraKoshinaka]

I want a time travel machine just to go to Smiths' gigs 😭

[@xibook5272]

Alejandra Barahona exactly I’m 14 and plan on going to a concert where he’s gonna perform because I don’t want him to die and not have seen him

[@swipeyyt5875]

Same

[@craiglewis6145]

I saw the Smiths in September 1984. It was an amazing gig.

[@captsouth]

I don't think the crowd disliked the music. I think they were in awe. A lot of early Smiths shows were packed out. People stared with their jaws open. How could you not?

[@anastasiaagafonova3225]

After being a fan for around 3 years, I sometimes still look at them and think to myself, 'What is this? How is this possible?' So strange yet so intriguing. Love them

[@DIPScolpuntoesclamativo]

Andy's bass lines are always amazing... One of the most underrated bassist of all time

[@rsncrantz]

i agree!!! he is amazing. needs more recognition.

[@alec9823]

even though they are sublime, they were written by the great johnny marr who also taught him how to play the bass

[@rsncrantz]

Alsmith224 similarly andy used to teach johnny guitar riffs & theyd have jam sessions together!!

[@synchromystici5m]

I'm almost 100% sure johnny didn't write the basslines

[@alec9823]

Mr. Technique yeah he did, he wrote all the music, that's why Andy was technically a session musician and why the lawsuit happened

[@frigger121]

the significance of the flowers in this song is they start off beautiful and complete like his life, but as the song goes on they crumble to nothing.. Just like he states his life does

[@Reint25]

''Flowers are wonderful things, they don't harm anybody, they don't say anything rude, and they don't burp.'' Morrissey once said.

[@TheMalcolmgibb]

This is my favourite Smiths song. The Smiths are by far the best band in the last 50 years.

[@MandaOwl]

The way he beats the shit out of the air with those flowers almost makes me laugh - you can watch how they become fewer and fewer until he stands there with just one broken flower left. Priceless.

[@teameymelli1]

that voice could bring world peace

[@michaelhalbert3843]

So punk in the early days, life long fan.

[@seablue5]

Listening to this song makes me think that Morrisey really defined a genre of his own, in finding a niche in music less explored. The shy guy letting it all loose. It such a raw style that it challenges you too look deeper.

[@manlymen552]

This is got to be one of the first performances

[@MrLarryhoover425]

To have to introduce the band like that I agree!

[@brianshorrockjnr6928]

@Harrison Gent Their first ever gig was at The Ritz in Manchester in October 1982.... This is at The Hacienda in 1983.....

[@Ledder458]

@Harrison Gent Really? who is your dad

[@lovelykmi]

to be on stage with flowers is the best thing ever

[@ianbeck73]

Truly one of my favourite Smiths songs. Moz & Marr - greatest songwriting partnership of all time.

[@jordandecker4379]

Morrissey looked absolutely gorgeous during this era...I love it. [And amazing song]

[@Luddite8000]

the sound is still so rough and young. Brilliant!

[@itsjustme6403]

see what 4 minutes of moz does to flowers

[@funkmike]

Hardly anybody in this audience is summer 1983 could have understood who The Smiths were or what their musical direction was about. At that time, leading edge music in Britain had split between two rather dead-end genres, hardcore punk and "New Romantic" synth-pop. The Smiths brought about, among other things, a synthesis of these trends. I would say they were the single most influential band of the decade; hell, they probably single-handedly saved rock music.

[@ashleyohohoh]

Precious angels.

[@kathymcbride955]

My anthem in life.

[@prudenceneverpays]

same

[@GrungeGirl83]

He's a baby here!

[@johannesjuanes]

This is the Smiths for me, this song is powerful I love the bass, rourke doesn´t get the respect he deserves but he´s a great bassist . This song is exceptional just like the smiths. Original fresh raw direct song great style, I really love the smiths you got to love them , they invented a new style of music nobody will ever be like them !

[@sick_puppy]

i love them so much 😭

[@NSIProductions]

I love The Smiths, they are the best live band i've seen.

[@mariteregutierrez3569]

I love The Smiths

[@shtan5583]

They are so good at live perfomances. I wish that someday they will gather on stage once again.

[@cmclsrnsee]

"Hello you little charmers..."

[@hopskipjumprecords]

the smiths are one of the best things to happen to music ever

[@dragman10]

To jamesthain, I REALLY wish I was you. To be there and witness that, how awesome! Morrissey is amazing!!! My wife made Morrissey (The Smiths) one of my favorite bands in '91ish and I never let go. You lucky sob

[@gotham61]

I was there too! Hired by Rough Trade to drive three people up from London for the gig.

[@trstenjak]

Tell us more, please!

[@leonardjohnny67]

jesus christ, i saw them in october of the same year it changed my life morrissey and marr i owe u everything!

[@LifegrindX]

They were so awesome live, very close to the recorded versions.

[@therealsoulproduct]

My all-time favorite Smiths song!

[@Mgtowfreedom]

I’ll never stop loving the smiths

[@Daniel____DiJ]

According to Wikipedia this performance was when they had only released ‘Hand in Glove’ (Feb ‘83). The next single “This Charming Man” wasn’t issued until Oct ‘83…. So I guess it’s no wonder the crowd is silent as can be….

[@echowebpr]

I love the bass lines !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tristans]

the live performance sounds exactly the same as the studio recording, amazing

[@cherrylipgloss1979]

Such nostalgia and I didn't even see this when it was new but only new to me!

[@plubble123]

I love this video. it's so raw, and the flowers are a nice touch.

[@o.sabiolouco]

"ive seen you smile but i never really heard you laugh!" Man, this is geniallity, its understanding! such normal things passes by, small thing, but arent they the most important ones?

[@TheBellows000]

Simply awesome!

[@Taggs82]

This is on my 1 first birthday. Who'd have know that they would be my favourite band of all time.

[@wal_a]

I love the smiths😍

[@54spiritedwill54]

Sorry for being a pain, but this is class, It's not weak because I keep returning to it.Thank you light box.

[@sinner48]

great band one of the best

[@phelpysan]

It's strange; Morrissey is a god and yet a Smiths reunion is an impossible miracle.

[@decaffeinatedafrican5997]

both morrissey and marr still have respect for each other, it's the other bandmates they have a problem with.

[@henryjohnson6809]

@@decaffeinatedafrican5997 I don’t think that’s true at all, marr, Mike and Andy are all at the very least on speaking terms (like when Andy did a show with Johnny) but it’s moz that’s causing all the problems with his animosity towards Marr and the others and the others (especially marr) not wanting to work with him because of the way he acts nowadays (the racism and far-right rhetoric being what Marr takes issue with)

[@TheInfamousLegend27]

morrissey and marr were actually talking about a reunion show at one point but morrissey just up and ceased contact before anything concrete could be discussed. these words coming from Johnny himself

[@johnharvey4448]

If I seem a little strange, that's because I am.

[@flowerlike42]

"you little charmer" is in the lyrics of their 1st single "Hands in glove"

[@beninsulation]

The only crowd that could care less than MOZ is singing! Everyone looks like they are waiting for the subway!

[@MrLarryhoover425]

This is a very early show, the smiths still had to make a name for them selves.

[@SilentAssassin01234]

This was before The Smiths were famous

[@colabacio]

the crowd obviously didnt know what they were witnessing.....the birth of the best `english` band ever by a million miles

[@leequinn2197]

Yes. And as a southerner, I also acknowledge this is such a uniquely northern band. Brilliant precisely bacuse of that imo.

[@corky4742]

how i wish i could go back, just for one night

[@suparni]

"did I ever tell you, by the way, I never did like your face..." :D :D :D Great upload thank you... and... Thanks Moz!

[@sduddy]

great tune ty 4 posting

[@yiyoto]

this charming man........you are so right man!

[@pcmedix]

LightBox7, thank you, thank you, thank you for this vid!!! Excellent!

[@TheNerdyGirlie]

I wish I was born in this time.

[@yellowtigerboat]

Babies don't goto concerts

[@kathymcbride955]

You would have been happier if you had been . Trust me. xxxx

[@moznico]

PERRRFFECCT song for the one u luv taking everyddamnthing...Including your Morrissey and Smiths CDs!

[@caryllg]

this is one of my fav smiths tunes thanks x

[@BorlandRIP7]

Historical moment for the audience..could (and should !! ) have been there ( I was 15)

[@swthirteen]

best band ever

[@BorlandRIP7]

An early and rare footage - thanx !

[@rael1999]

Absolutely Mike !!

[@cosmicactivity299]

💐

[@Reint25]

Don't get us wrong. ;) I'm from Holland, I'm 16 and The Smiths are my favourite band.

[@BraceYourselfRodney5555]

That’s me at the front dark grey shirt first time I saw the Smiths

[@juttkeys]

but what you have to realise (and I am a smiths devotee through and through) is that times change and the beatles changed an era just like the smiths did as did Johnny Cash before etc etc. indeed the birth of a genius does go unnoticed.. yer gonna miss him when he's gone.....thats genius

[@joidevivre22]

Brilliant so there!

[@leonardjohnny67]

i saw them the next time they played the hacienda, oct 83, un-fucking believable still the best gig of my life, and i saw early roses too, by then manchester knew what it'd given birth to and the crowd were fucking on one!

[@legitamatethursday]

Johnny Marr! You are to cool!

[@Rmg12]

@corky4742 I wish i was old enought that I could have seen them. I'm only 19. but I know 80s had the best music I think. I love the smiths and morrissey oh my.

[@swipeyyt5875]

My dad was at that concert

[@venedikterofeev5861]

cool! can you tell what was it like?

[@swipeyyt5875]

My dad said it was CRAZY and he got to croud serf he was 19 at the time and he got to touch morrissey

[@swipeyyt5875]

And meet morrissey

[@MagicTGman]

Only 98% of Americans are "that way." The other 2% are fighting an uphill battle, but at least that keeps us thinner than the other 98%. Unrelated to previous comment: I'm new to the Smiths. I'd ask how I missed this, but I was about 2 at the time. Glad I'm hearing it now.

[@OsvaldoR10]

Osvaldo in 2020 as soon as the introduction comes on(🎸): that's perfect sound, perfect 80s VHS sound. F*ck high quality 2020 sound. 😃👌🏻😍😋❤🖤❤🖤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sirprince9734]

NICE!

[@rael1999]

The birth of genius often goes unnoticed....time has and will in the future show this band to be one (if not the most) of the most influencial bands in British Music...and before all you scousers start banging on about The Beatles...did they ever write lyrics like Moz...not too mention Marrs complex but clean licks...I think not !!

[@Caulderone]

Gentle with the flowers now...gentle...

[@NewDevotional]

the smiths

[@georgexm2032]

Romanticism at its best, if you ask me.

[@nalt24]

increible!

[@leonardjohnny67]

i was there :-)

[@hurting3581]

Morrissey really shows off his range in this song - I hear as many as five distinct notes in there.

[@stevenhartlaub4557]

Hah. And yet it works. He does show much more of a range on The Queen is Dead and Strangeways.

[@therealsoulproduct]

I like this bass line better. This particular version is my #1 favorite Smiths song.

[@nicholasemery5329]

So like Morrissey to love a bouquet to death

[@171sheffutd]

The hacienda and the smiths. Perfect.

[@sucramnormark]

So true.

[@MyTunnel]

So there!

[@foxxyloxx]

Totally agree.

[@giupio88]

Amen, bro.

[@MagicTGman]

I have to agree. Classis bands are always considered in contemporary context by the latest generation. We can always take solace in the fact that these youngsters, not that I'm terribly old, are completely oblivious to the fact that their favorite bands were inspired by the very classics they so adamantly put down.

[@ryanp9079]

king

[@mylestails]

what an amazing song, how were they so good?

[@bugsy77]

Morrissey ALWAYS had flowers in is hands(given by the fans) while performing !

[@callebelmondo]

and what a terrible mess i've made of my life

[@leequinn2197]

That's was makes this song. The dissonance up to the breakdown and the fact it seems to fall into place with the chorus.

[@mollytheodd]

Hello you little charmers, we are the smiths, how do you do? AHH SO FCUKFIN GOOD.

[@Al4utube]

Ohhhh what a terrible mess I've made of my liiife ♪♩♫

[@ROCKSTARS_HQ]

🖤🖤

[@becausewemust]

SO THERE.

[@vivelavidarocka]

The coolest band ever...in the history of the world......what a mess I made of my life......

[@caryllg]

Sounds great after all this time

[@becausewemust]

Because we must
