How can you not love The Smiths? Nothing sounded like it before or since. Marr was just a kid chiming out riffs like that. Massive respect to Andy Rourkes bass on this
The Last Guitar Hero I suggest you watch the Simple Minds live on the Tube in 1982, to see what Real New Wave music was like before the Smiths......... Also, you may watch some music by Pretenders in 1979-84
@@CraigMcTaggart people seem so down on the 1980's - I agree that there was tons of awful bands around but then compared to the 1970's and the three decades after I think there is loads to love.Just look at the re-runs of Top of the Pops on BBC4 - it was incredibly diverse: rap, soul, indie, cheese & reggae all in one episode ! If only we knew then the horrors which lay in store for us when Britpop died in the late 1990's.
@@robertmiller8386 completely agree about Andy. If you can, give a listen the "The Open Reel" by The Prodigals.....Andrew Harkin is godlike and also underrated or less know than he should be.
Something that's only fairly recently occurred to me is how great the bass players in three of the greatest 80s bands were: Andy, Pete Farndon of The Pretenders and Mike Mills in REM. While everybody was noticing the guitarists and singers, the bass and drums were making those bands brilliant under the radar.
I remember seeing this live when it aired, it was my first experience of The Smiths. I have to admit I didn’t like his voice at first, it was so very different from anything I’d heard, but I’ll never forget seeing him and the flowers in his back pocket. I was about 12 or 13 at the time. I fell in love with The Smiths a few years later.
"Appropriately enough", not "ironically enough". I see you are from the Alanis Morrisette school of irony. If Morrissey had written, "A boy in the bush is worth two in the hand But I could never help you get through your exams" and that lyric had helped you get through your exams, then that WOULD have been ironic.
@@pintpot Yes, I did indeed attend the Alanis Morrisette School of Irony (correct capitalisation please, it is a most revered institution and should be referred to in the correct case). I was there in 2004, did you go there too?
@@spodge1233 No, I did not because, unlike Alanis Morrisette, I know what irony is. (If you haven't seen it... ua-cam.com/video/nT1TVSTkAXg/v-deo.html )
"And if you must go to work tomorrow. Well if I were you I wouldn't bother Oh there are brighter sides to life And I should know because I've seen them ...but not very often" If Bob Dylan gets the Nobel Prize, whither Morrissey ?
Morrissey was The Smith's to me,but his solo career has been astonishing& his latest band the most talented musician's he has worked with,his voice get's richer over the year's& we eagerly await the Wembley concert& ahead of his new album 💙
That bunch of dullards were waiting for The Mission or something, didn't realise they should have been dancing to the peak era of the greatest English band of the last 30 years. Dolts !
The Smiths were a really strange band back then, not much of a surprise the reaction especially considering they were thrown into this bill super last minute.
Exactly. Standing there looking bored not knowing they were witnessing the birth of the greatest band of the 80s (or of the second half of the 20th century).
Lol. The Mission were actually on three years later. And The Tube audience were known to just stand there looking cool. A lot of the bands were unknown before The Tube. I do love The Smiths though.
I think the live version of "hand in glove" is better than the record version. (Not that the record version is bad, i just prefer it w/o the harmonica)
@@enriqueosorio3731 joder la parte final donde Marr se pone a bailar con Morrissey la ame con todo mi corazón, es tan cute. Ojala hubiera nacido en los 60's para disfrutar de los 80's
Always shook my head at this guitar tone from Johnny. Toppy but dull at the same time. I don't think he used it for very long as his primary gtr. Such a contrast to the 330.

I totally agree. People can’t stand them though. I think they just haven’t really given it a true listen
This comparison to the cure needs to stop. The cure don’t even deserve to be in the same thought. Robbie couldn’t even find a candle to hold to MOZ.
RIP Andy R thanks for the music
It's great to have the bass and guitar both up loud....you need to listen to each Smiths song 4 times to appreciate each members talent.
Andy Rourke was a underrated
Absolutely in my top 2 bass players. I think cliff burton may just edge him out by a hair.
Not amongst bassists, he isn't.
@@robertmiller8386 completely agree about Andy. If you can, give a listen the "The Open Reel" by The Prodigals.....Andrew Harkin is godlike and also underrated or less know than he should be.
I don't think he was! As a diehard smiths fanatic all four members were integral for this magnificent noise❤️🥰

The sun shines out of our behinds. Being 20 in 1984, nothing was more true. I worship this band.
I love how Morrissey has stood the same with his fans all of these years 4:54
Incredibly tight yet beautiful. Genius on display
Probably the best clip of the smiths you'll ever see, it doesn't get any better than this.
I first saw this footage in 1993 on a bootleg VHS. THESE are THE versions of these songs. Live and raw
Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, and Joyce made great music together for such a short time. The Smiths will live on forever.
L'Angleterre que j'aimais tant qui me fascinait par son mystère et sa singularité.
Jonny Marr is a fucking genius
Got home from college on Friday afternoon and this was on TV!

I have a memory of Billy Bragg with a green guitar on the same show but maybe mixed memories and felt the same about him too. Love him too now also.
Drum and bass is outstanding

Ironically enough The Smiths did actually help me get thru my exams, especially Hatful Of Hollow, big smiles from me watching this :-)
"Appropriately enough", not "ironically enough".

I never got into Bob Dylan. There was the one song in the 70s about that murder that was ok but eh...
bob dylan is way different in terms of his style in writing obviously, i wouldn’t be surprised if morrissey fans didn’t understand his lyrics.
@@decaffeinatedafrican5997 Oh please ! Dylan is great and edgy, but peak-Morrissey had style, wit and elan.

Thanks s lot for upload this masterpiece live.
Damn Johnny Is great what was he 20 coolest guy turtleneck, Pearl necklace with his moccasins cigarette hanging off with that beauty 335

I was lucky enough to see them in 1985 though they never had a big fan base then
I was a big big fan Tokra 😊

Ive read Johnny Marr's autobiography and he said The Smiths first TV appearance was on The Tube . Was this the one ?
2 years earlier I think, 1982

Joyce a solid drummer, did go off beat on Barbism.
qepd andy rourke 🤍
Wait I'm confused... this is a perfomance from 1984.... but Barbarism Begins At Home was released on Meat Is Murder in 1985... huh...
The Smiths, fez e faz parte da minha história.
Bands often hold tracks back for later release. This was 84.
hi. whats the name of 2nd song?
Holy shit I just realized these guys are the British Meat Puppets!
Oi
Awe, The Tube. Social Distancing just doesn't apply.
無駄に歌うまくて草
Was this their TV debut
I think they might have been on the tube before but I can't find it
andy didn't play barbarism correctly... he seemed totally out of it (probably was)
