I swear, I walk down the streets of London listening to this song, and when it gets to the last few minutes I get goosebumps, I can't help put raise my hands like I'm ascending, and everything else around me is fucking trivial... and then it ends, and I realise there is no heaven beyond what we create on this Earth, and music helps me to attain it... if only a little. But no other music can achieve this as much as listening to Mr Smith's music... all hail.
This is probably THE best live version of ANY song ever written or played. For those who love the original as much as me....This actually manages to top the recorded version.....The most impossibly fucking amazing band you can ever dream of.....Roll on the tour.......They're BACK...Everyone else might as well pack up their guitars and go home.
Alas I never had the opportunity to hear them. Mr. Smith's 'accident' took place before I first heard their music, and so far as I know they never played in America. Without youtube I would never have heard them.
This song is the greatest living, breathing noise in history....hold his mouth and stop him breathing....over and out....and when I go...I'm going out to this....fucking genius
Rest in power

Good God, how he holds the 'out' for the last two minutes...remarkable, utterly remarkable. I wish I could've seen them live.
