      He was the sound of the Smiths to me. I've been a bass player myself for 40 years and Andy was easily one of the most creative, melodic players of all time.

    Morrissey can roll around with his shirt half off and a bouquet of flowers in his pants and it's "fantastic stage presence" but when I do it it's "always taking things too far" and "stop it honey you're scaring the children"

      "Fantastic stage presence" is questionable. I think he looks like an absolute tit.

      I agree. Even his own band seemed to not realize how great he was. His harmonies and interplay with Marr are incredible. Plus, he played all of his basslines so effortlessly, nonchalantly even, and they're pretty demanding as far as basslines go. He's also just as good with a pick as with fingers, and understood the strengths of both ways, and how and when to utilize each technique.

And all of the instruments sound so incredibly clear. I’ve liked the smiths for like 2 years now but this concert gives me a whole other appreciation for them. Especially with Moriessey’s dance moves and how flamboyant he is in such a modern way.

      Keep in mind that this is a "modernized" version of the original recording, athough its very lightly Mixed and Mastered (getting rid of static noise, slighty readjusting pitch and volume of some instruments and such). Youre totally right tho, they sound much better live than most studio albums of their decade and even better than many contemprorary mastered recordings.

    Born in 1970, when I was 13 I pass The time listening Hendrix, Morrison, Led Zep, The Who, and then, like a teenager I listen The Smiths when 16 years old and they blow my mind. I can closed my eyes and come back to that moment in that summer. What a incredible feeling!

    ahh makes me melancholic and sad to think of how I've kind of missed all of this because I just wasn't alive yet.
    And seeing Moz and Johnny dance around eachother so happily makes it all the more sad to think about how they've cut all contact to these days and how much they seem to hate the idea of reforming the band just once.
    I'm missing something I was never even a part of, which is weird. Still happy to live in the digital age where I can just watch these concerts back though, tysm for uploading.

      I wouldn’t say I was “born in the wrong generation” because of how vapid and generic that sounds. I do wish I was eligible to see this performance though. I’m 12 years old and experienced my first Smiths song when I was in 5th grade. I think I am more mature than a lot of people my age. I am definitely more pessimistic than optimistic which makes my perspective on arbitrary things disorienting and bewildering to others my age. They don’t understand why I like depressing songs. I also like science and math a lot more than my friends. I wish my generation had more innovative thinkers and “funny” people because everyone at my school has horrendous humor. I don’t want to be known only for TikTok and the other ludicrous social media apps. I wish this world was different, but I would not time travel into the past for the sake of the good, old butterfly effect.
