Goddam this was the best band of the 80s. Metallica and guns n roses have NOTHING on the Smiths

[@jensmoller6999]

You are way off base.. Smiths are great and metallica is a fucking great band too No need to talk one or the other down. Thats Laughable

[@nicknick1974]

Totally different styles

[@joeldipu6754]

I mean we could not say that. Metallica was trash metal and guns n roses was just glam rock. But the smiths mastered the art of putting majestic riffs with sad lyrics,something none of these bands mentioned did.

[@danmaskell67]

Was there at the front on the night, was recorded and released as 'Rank', the best live album ever by the best band ever. God bless the Smiths, great times 👍

[@OmarAnibalArzapalo]

Andy Rourke Forever!!!!

I was 19 years old …saw this tour at the music hall in Cleveland Ohio. Thank you for posting…I made the predictable transformation and became a DeadHead…The Smith’s remain my second favorite band…lol

[@fastcarenjoyer8008]

It was great to relive that wonderful evening, an concert that continues to remind me of my sixteen year old self. Thanks for posting this.

[@thehighlightreal3128]

I honestly believe they were the best band in the 80s! Never had a bad album in the short span they’ve were together

[@myboyracer]

I saw this on Video Tape from my friend. The introduction of Craig Cannon and the rawness of the recording. Simply awesome. To be able to watch The Smiths during that time was indeed precious. ❤❤❤❤

Morrissey was really getting into his props for this performance.

[@maclardy]

Obviously I’m in seriously love with Morrissey but the talent of the drummer (forgot his name - sorry 😬) is PHENOMENAL!
