Morrissey - Speedway (Official Live Video)

[@KatieWilliams1990x]

I've only recently gotten into Morrissey and The Smiths, however ever since that moment I've been binge watching and listening to every single Morrissey & The Smiths song/album/interview/video I can find. It has literally taken up 95 percent of my free time (and I have a lot of that at the moment). I don't regret a second of it. It honestly feels like a Morrissey-shaped black hole swept me up before I could even realise what was happening. I can't get enough! I can't even begin to describe the pull Morrissey has on me. It's like I'm hypnotised, transfixed and mesmerised by his artistry, talent, voice, charisma and style whilst having no say in the matter. It was like the universe said 'You are going to love Morrissey and have no say in the matter dammit!' I've never felt this sort of connection to another artist/songwriter before. It's like he 'gets' the pain of being forced to live an ordinary life you don't want when you have dreams of something better. I finally know why fellow fans love and worship this man to the point of obsession, where a single glance or touch from Morrissey can send people to the moon crying their eyes out with absolute delight. Morrissey and his lyrics have saved my life.

[@outdoorminer5533]

I’m so glad you found him.

[@kenetic1228]

Welcome

[@ryecean9896]

Me too going through the same thing now. 👍

[@HC-oy3jr]

Moz finally has you oh you done it now. His music has been in my life near 40 years but at the rate you're going and today's technology you'll catch up. Suppose you don't rely on flyers? Lol welcome to a wonderful journey. Glad to see such passion good for you!

[@moirmurray6799]

I'm now 50 and have listened to morrissey/the smiths since 14...I'm the same no one has ever came close to filling morrisseys shoes...utter perfection 👌

[@lu2er]

I love the part when Morrissey sings "and when you try to break my spirit it just won't happen because there is nothing left to break" VIVA MORRISSEY

[@theoccasionalbadger8315]

Strange though cos it can't be a great place to be but oddly empowering!!

[@paullangton-rogers2390]

He often changes that line in each performance, sometimes he says "I wouldn't bother" or similar.

[@Rabird74]

I love every split second of this song.. every chainsaw-split millisecond.. and if this song were made out of fibre, I would love all of them too.. When the album came out I did not listen to the last song for about a week, and boy did holidays converge when I did..

[@schwinnbike18]

I just love the part when Morrissey sings.

[@ROCKSTARS_HQ]

🖤

[@mgs721]

Morrissey is the greatest lyricist in the history of rock n' roll. Yeah, I said it.

[@oyemate8647]

I don't agree. Isaac Brock. Isaac Brock has written the most depressing, honest and moving lyrics ever to be written. Seriously. Morrissey might be more charismatic (although many people also hate him xd), more interesting, he has an absolutely beautiful voice, he is an icon and his lyrics are amazing, but all my love for him won't change the fact that Brock's stuff is better than anything else.

I love how his fans will fight to touch fingertips but hug him so gently that it doesn’t interfere with his singing. And I love Moz. He is a genius who didn’t sell out. -Matt’s dad

[@grahamcarlin6397]

Morriissey is one of the few artists who genuenly loves his fans.

[@aspiringtentacle]

well except the one he allegedly asked to murder

[@nathanisaacs76]

One word. Canceled. Someone who loves their fans doesn't cancel hundreds of gigs

[@carolvernon4313]

@@nathanisaacs76 he cancelled a lot of those because he got cancer , I don't blame him

[@nathanisaacs76]

@i i Google him. He's cancelled I think 300 concerts to date. He needs his fans, and maybe loves them in some sort of sick way

So simply well said. Same here.

[@snachmyweave4806]

Just become the masses disagree doesn’t mean he isn’t right/right to voice an opinion on what he feels. He’s not senile. I’ll love him in my own sick way - forever.

[@anerley123]

He's always had bad press and he's always remained my greatest love. He has saved countless lives. I feel blessed to share the same time on earth with him.

So much better than the studio version. And the studio version is nothing short of marvelous. This gives me chills.

Morrissey is now a great singer. Really up there with the best. Sinatra, Elvis, Bowie.

[@315Bodhi17]

Sinatra? do you mean Nancy??

[@tenniscollector]

BS he is, trev!

[@tmantonytv1166]

Bowie shouldn’t be up there with elvis and nancy, he’s good but not that good.

[@MaquiladoraIII]

Surely he's always been a great singer.

[@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454]

All of this a matter of preference. But Moz greater than all of them.

It's a shame that the world does not understand what you are my friend, Viva Morrissey number 1!!!!

[@SuperWiggley]

Morrissey at his best, Vauxhall and I was his best album imo

[@vernonhedge4530]

I was there. February 8th 1996, James Dean's birthday, Blackpool Winter Gardens.

[@Lily-Graceluckypenny]

Amazing.. I have this on VHS somewhere. If I remember correctly it was filmed over two gigs, this one and the other in Sheffield. Vauxhall and I one of my fave albums

[@alvarosanchez3593]

i dont care what people say about Morrissey, his music is the soundtrack of my life and im grateful for that. Latinamerica love you Mozz

[@ingy2468]

The greatest lyricist and poet really, of our time.

[@linuxel33t]

I'm in a FB group where we were recently asking what our favourite Morrissey time frame was. For me, this is Moz at his sexiest. His manhood finally set upon him and he's wearing it very well! Oh, the agony and the ecstasy.

[@aveburyridge7533]

Yes he's magnificent here.

[@sunshaped]

Absolutely!! (although the YA period is a strong contender!)

[@johnboylan3591]

Be quite you silly cow it's about the Smiths court case and esspessilly Johnny Marr

[@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454]

agreed

[@SK0R092]

The album version of this is good, but his particular live version is incredible

[@gingthedigger5046]

There's something about his live performances

[@hzubovi1]

Which album is this from?

[@nathanielpranger7370]

hzubovi1 Vauxhall and I from 1994 (it closes the record, but the whole thing is a great listen)

[@jimmyfitz8168]

The performances on Introducing Morrissey were the best performances of any singer.

[@schwinnbike18]

The increased tempo is spot on in this one!

[@SouthpawNT]

Alain and Boz's guitar work on this one is epic. Miss Alain.

[@jameswhite516]

To say this is live is unreal. What a sound 👍

[@sh-mt8oy]

such a beautiful performance and the delivery in the live version is simply breathtaking

[@katherineblack4772]

Morrissey was so handsome during this period.

[@paulringleader5493]

When he sings "I've always been true to you "... holding hands with his fans, it sounds like an honest confession ...

[@rain_down_]

Especially when he's sings 'Strange way'

[@timmcPherrin]

I love, "I could have mentioned your name / I could have dragged you in"

[@rain_down_]

Johnny Marr used to work at a Speedway apparently. 'I've always been true you'

[@WoodPigeonInFlight]

Great version. For me his band at this time were simply awesome

[@angieblackstock9864]

one of ALL time favorite live versions

[@schwinnbike18]

I agree!

[@bryankinney1]

Mozzer and John Lydon are the only punk legends who have remained authentic and true to themselves in the face of mainstream media/record companies, and who stayed angry. True Irish blooded English heroes.

[@mikethompson5549]

I dedicate this song to my great uncle. Acorn Dobson who rode speedway for Bell Vue. God bless Manchester and her greatest son Mozza.

[@pingpong9275]

I always feel in his long catalogue of songs this one represents perfectly the spirit and character of Moz - for better or worse.

[@vincentsellier8105]

Maybe the best lyrics he wrote (and performed)

[@ruben1million]

I remember watching this VHS tape when it came out. I always make it a point to listen to an artist's live version close the date when the studio version was released; it is usually the best and this one is not the exception. Speedway was the very last track of Vauxhall & I, released in 1994, and the video came out 2 yrs later
