[@markopolo1510]

RIP Andy Rourke, 1964-2023. Your contribution to this fantastic band will always be remembered. X

[@kimthecreep5297]

36:07-36:34 had me died. johnny smoking whilst playing guitar and also dancing a little is just too perfect to me.

[@s.k.9401]

hahah yess

[@susanmathew9176]

RIP Andy. Your musical artistry and legacy will never be forgotten. 💔

[@katebutcher4444]

I was at this gig, it was glorious. I caught Morrissey's shirt and my daughter now has it. Good times

[@mitsoko]

you are the luckiest person in the world 😂

Whoever recorded this is an absolute hero. This is golden

[@andrewstruzyk9954]

Yeah, I, totally, agree, 100% !!!

36:09 if i were there i would’ve fainted lol😳

[@adrianwilgoss8512]

Was there in row B. I remember the security guys trying to keep everyone sitting down, one of them got hit by a drumstick, can't think who threw it! lol. This is the show everyone talks about, was a privilege to be there.

[@goldenkoi23]

I was in row k with my brother and sister. If you look @34.09 Johnny sees me because this was my favourite song. I was 12 and found it hard to see so my brother lifted me up at this point and held my ankles while I was standing on top of the back of the seat in front. I was swaying around with my hands on hips. I vividly remember Johnny smiling then looking back to Mike gesturing to look. I waved and my brother was like ‘Johnny saw you.’ Gota say that after witnessing Big Mouth live, especially when the lights came on, it became and still remains the most perfect song ever written.

[@goldenkoi23]

@EndofMusic I can understand why you would think that. Happy Easter & God bless

[@schlagenheim]

Thanks

[@BLLLYMUSIC]

how could you not know those two songs...?

[@bruh-gn5kc]

@@BLLLYMUSIC i don't blame them not knowing Draize Train, but London??

[@erick9643]

It's the base of the Rank album

[@thatonedude433]

Underrated rhythm section nobody seems to talk about. Moz and Johnny are clearly the stars in the band, but the drumming and bass lines are straight dope. Try to play the bass line to Bigmouth and youll know what Im talking about.

[@user-hv8vu8dg9x]

I know! I have always been a huge fan of the rhythm section for years. They wouldn’t have been near as good without those two

[@brett66]

Yeah, they were absolutely an ensemble.

[@rickykilby4672]

As a drummer myself,i totally agree.Rock solid foundation for marr's melodies and morrissey's great lyrics.

[@thomasbritton7149]

That version of how soon is now is amazing

[@MariaOrtiz-bo7xo]

Love the concert intro (opening soundtrack to the 1979 film "Caligula") !!!

[@jackelineloaiza8827]

I love how Marr plays here

[@josebermudez7139]

50:00 they got Mike Joyce in the back making the cow sounds lmao

[@mickeyjupp1]

Perfect. Singing. Playing.

[@brett66]

Dammit, they were so good.

[@lucalone]

awesome band. great songwriters. marr's playing is unique.

[@2010welshy]

Amazing!!at their peak!!wish I was old enough to have seen them live....😕

[@munchie6346]

blinding. I have this on vhs somewhere. Was at the gig. Gutted it was the only time I saw them.Brilliant live band. Marr was only 22 here and owns that stage

[@deltaflyer9078]

Very lucky.. must have been amazing!

[@anotherkevsmith]

Me too, I'd never been very interested in the Smiths but teenage me went along as my mates were going, tried selling my ticket to a tout outside. Went in not bothered and came out a masive fan, it was a bloody brilliant gig.

[@SwagOnSwoosh]

Worth being envious of those who attended. A gem.

[@Luschan]

Damn what a lean show. Pretty much every song played here is an essential Smiths song. This show sums up who they are as a band very well and captures them arguably at their peak.

[@MusicFun-gd1cm]

All Smiths songs are essential.

[@herbiemay73]

Johnny Marr The Greatest In All Of History

[@MalMotorDedo]

Best live, 10/10 will listen again

[@s.k.9401]

dang Johnny’s moving a lot here lol

[@mattkent2651]

Simply one of the true great bands. A lot of people don't realise how superlative, professional, utterly incredible live, that they were. Many people think they were somehow 'depressing, miserable, quite nerdy/weird, quite bad actually. But by god, how strong was this myth in their own storyline. What an incredible band... musically, lyrically, performance-wise and in every department. One of the greatest British bands ever. Period.

[@bobgure]

Hear hear! Sheer brilliance!

[@rickykilby4672]

They sang about real life which as we know can be depressing,however the humour is overlooked or ignored completely by their detractors.They are a fantastic,original band that have influenced so many,and that influence will live on,not just musically,but also their cultural significance.

[@auralepiphanies4055]

This version of Ask is undeniable...In fact I think its the recording that kind of holds it back...some of the other live versions are sick as well.

[@marguerystark9728]

Господи, Джонни, курящий, играющий на гитаре и танцующий. Выносите меня.

[@magjuergenstefani4015]

I envy all you lucky bastards who saw the Smiths live, which is THE ONE THING I regret not having achieved in my life.Saw Morrissey solo later, and Johnny with Modest Mouse, which were great gigs too, but this video shows the original stuff!

Was this the show that was a radio broadcast that then became “Rank”

[@evancaples6728]

No

[@jaidenbowkett]

“Rank” is the recording from the National Ballroom in Kilburn

[@MalMotorDedo]

Compare Ask for example, you will notice that Morrissey says ASK a bit later on Rank (just so you notice, yk?)

[@jrussell4711]

Holy Caramba. Better than Kilburn?

[@fastcarenjoyer8008]

Is this where the Rank recordings are from?

[@gal2659]

Whats the name of the classical piece in the intro ?

@harry Bingo ! for some reason I thought it was Mussorgsky's.. no wonder I couldnt find it. Thank you :)

A little harsh mate! Biz Boorer and Alain Whyte are excellent musicians! I’ve seen him live and it was awesome! But the Smiths are on another level. Johnny Marr is one of the greatest guitarists in history and Joyce and Rourke are great too! The Smiths are one of the greatest bands in history! And without a doubt the most influential band in the last 35 years
