The Smiths - live Rockpalast 1984 (HQ)

He was the sound of the Smiths to me. I've been a bass player myself for 40 years and Andy was easily one of the most creative, melodic players of all time.

[@jon-umber]

Morrissey can roll around with his shirt half off and a bouquet of flowers in his pants and it's "fantastic stage presence" but when I do it it's "always taking things too far" and "stop it honey you're scaring the children"

Johnny Marr is one of the most underrated guitar players ever.

And songwriters. He wrote all the Smiths songs with Moz doing the lyrics and a few of the vocal melodies and Rourke doing a handful of the bass lines.

We all know Johnny's genius, but seriously, Andy is probably the most underrated bassist in rock music history.

[@thetatn1113]

Barbarism is undeniable proof of this

[@julesl6910]

I think you mean he's a great bass player, he isn't playing progressive rock lol

[@Metal_Horror]

I agree. Even his own band seemed to not realize how great he was. His harmonies and interplay with Marr are incredible. Plus, he played all of his basslines so effortlessly, nonchalantly even, and they're pretty demanding as far as basslines go. He's also just as good with a pick as with fingers, and understood the strengths of both ways, and how and when to utilize each technique.

It's highly doubtful that Marr wrote the bass lines. That's what he and moz claimed in the lawsuit. But the chords were likely written by Marr and then Rourke would work on the lines

It really is one of the coolest Morrissey/Marr moments on film [for me anyway] the 80's Lennon & McCartney' some ppl who are not so familiar with them & say they are depressing what not, they really don't get Morrissey is being ironic & had very dark humour, & in contrast to that we get Marr's really upbeat happy [even euphoric guitar/music that he wrote, & the really badly underrated Rourke/Joyce] 'The Queen Is Dead' is a perfect example or Some Girls Are Bigger Then Others' the latter as Marr said "Is Smiths in a nutshell"

Part of what makes Marr's Smiths riffs so difficult is that Morrissey doesn't really sing to the beat. When you're learning this stuff you have to block the lyrics out because they'll throw you off.

[@DMCMT01]

If only other Smith concerts were in this quality. I'm genuinely sad I was born too late to catch the Smiths in their prime. But with footage like this I can get a real feel about how seeing Morrissey, Marr and the gang would have felt. Absolutely love it! Top notch!

[@o.biertrinker9649]

Dan, we, our generation, are who really appreciated this band, I have read enough about them and those days to know that they weren't treated as they deserved. If other people were in the England of those days, this band would have been much more famous, and we would have other golden songs. I wonder which masterpieces we missed because of that.

I can’t get over how amazing they sound. Moriessey sounds amazing and is singing like it’s second nature and sounds exactly like the recording. And all of the instruments sound so incredibly clear. I’ve liked the smiths for like 2 years now but this concert gives me a whole other appreciation for them. Especially with Moriessey’s dance moves and how flamboyant he is in such a modern way.

[@toomnLP]

Keep in mind that this is a "modernized" version of the original recording, athough its very lightly Mixed and Mastered (getting rid of static noise, slighty readjusting pitch and volume of some instruments and such). Youre totally right tho, they sound much better live than most studio albums of their decade and even better than many contemprorary mastered recordings.

I wouldn’t say I was “born in the wrong generation” because of how vapid and generic that sounds. I do wish I was eligible to see this performance though. I’m 12 years old and experienced my first Smiths song when I was in 5th grade. I think I am more mature than a lot of people my age. I am definitely more pessimistic than optimistic which makes my perspective on arbitrary things disorienting and bewildering to others my age. They don’t understand why I like depressing songs. I also like science and math a lot more than my friends. I wish my generation had more innovative thinkers and “funny” people because everyone at my school has horrendous humor. I don’t want to be known only for TikTok and the other ludicrous social media apps.

Marr was awesome for his age and the rest of the band held their own. The drums and bass are one point. Love the drums on Heaven knows. The bass in Barbarism is so pre Duran Duran John Taylor... Just awesome.

Some of the tightest, cleanest playing you'll ever hear.

A band that was and still is generatin' goosebumps instantly. Literally the best band i've ever learned to love since 2012

I listened to the Smiths through the 1980's, never saw them live. Morrissey is a great lyricist !

Three years later it was all over. And humanity missed the opportunity to save itself.
