Tonnes of praise to Astley's energy and vocals. And, this doesn't work without such accurate and brilliant recreations of the music. The Blossoms' performance is symphonic.
I am still so glad having seen the show live. Came all the way from Germany with my daughter and we enjoyed it so much. Rick & Blossoms - you were great! Smiths live forever! ❤
I didn't like Rick Astley in the 80s,he was too controlled, like a puppet. I couldn't see how talented he was, his management didn't allow him to evolve, to grow, because they wanted to take credit and share his space. Now I understand why he gave up. Thanks to his daughter and The Blossoms he had the opportunity to show he is a star. I hope he keeps shine.
Rick & Blossoms did a fantastic job, looks a fantastic lively gig, as everyone knows Morrisey is too fickle, sensitive & moody to deliver these Fantastic songs again with the Smiths WELL DONE RICK & BLOSSOMS
Really don't think this crowd quite knew what they were in for. Pretty sure the "0hhhh's" at the end that Rick pulled off VERY well, gave them a clue. The whole concept of Rick and the Blossoms do The Smiths I high doubt many saw coming, but by god I'm glad it did! Nice to see others think so too :) I NEED a album and LONG 2024 tour of this please, Rick and the lads ...
I didn't know what to expect but it's brilliant, it's at least as good as The Smiths themselves live and CERTAINLY better than either Johnny or Morrissey on their own. Fairplay to Rick
So glad I was able to attend this show. It was such a joyous crowd. We are never going to see the Smiths together again but these guys nailed it.
Yeah I was there to it was amazing
So jealous! Hope Rick does this agsin
@@heidischmidt5593 he did it at glastobury!
Imho Blossoms with Rick Astley are the official Smiths now.
Now I know how Johnny Marr felt

Well he didn't like it either which is why he quit.
Highschool days this are the songs I've been listening... 1988 ♥
Rick Astley is absolutely brilliant.
Brilliant cover from Rick..👍
Wherever there are Smiths fans, there is love
I don't care what anybody says . This is heaven

I agree,it was a strange mix,but worked perfectly.Brilliant band,brilliant singer,singing brilliant songs👍👍
Imagine what it must be like playing that riff on stage in front of thousands of people.
Thank you Charlie Salt for nailing Andy's iconic bass parts!
The gig of the year!
Thanks for sharing this man. This gig is fooockin awesome!
He’s actually produced a lot but only in the last 8 years anyone took any notice. I know talent when I see it!
This is my new guilty pleasure. Smiths songs live in 2021 with a better singer and none of the Morrissey drama.
too bad he wrote the songs.
@@taylorgriggs8772 I could live with no new music. Been over 30 years of no new songs anyway.
@@jamlemon 🙄 i see you don't understand
@@taylorgriggs8772 I understand he wrote them but others can still perform them. Marr still plays Smiths songs.
@@jamlemon im not shitting on Marr, I don't get all the hate both ways. They made great life changing music they all deserve respect.
implausibly fantastic
Awesome, great job, Rick!
I wasn't there, what a less!!! Best prrformance ever taken by the Smiths/ aka Rick!!! He nailed it! 🤩

Please bring this show to the states..at least come to San Diego!

Please play again Rick and the Blossoms
Pure genius. Solid gold.
Rick una leyenda
Well done Rick!!
Dr. Strange: *Spell goes wrong
Rick Astley: I'm Morrissey
Long live Rick n roll
They nailed every song. Did you record "Well I wonder"??
No I didn’t :-(
I would not be opposed to a world tour of this!
johnny marr should hire rick astley and give to the world a fantastic tour with the smiths songs...and leave moz where he is
Muito massa!!
who knew that he could be the next best thing
They sound ridiculously good! Who knew that Rick had the pipes?
Have you never heard him sing? Of course he has the pipes.😒
I think most people never doubted his ability to sing.
Um, everybody knows Rick has the pipes. Where you been?
AND let's not forget this is off of Evan's f'in mobile ---like, seriously !! Imagine if this had a proper recording :)
Very nice version of the song, but why did he steal my grandmothers pants!?
It's Rick astley dressed as Harry styles, with the blossoms, doing the smiths lol
Very good
Chingon !!!
