The Smiths - Asleep (early version) [October/1985]

[@Trickool]

"This song was only performed live once on 1 October 1985, at Eden Court in Inverness, on the final day of their 1985 Scotland tour. A piano was found on stage during soundcheck and the venue management refused to move it off stage. Morrissey performed the song and by the end of it was centre stage in a foetal position"

What made it nice was no cell phones or internet.. You had to go find bands and songs at the record store. It was just a totally different world. Not sayin better or worse ,but it is hard to explain how different it was.

Have you heard the piano outro on early versions of Suffer little children ? Definitely evolved into Asleep .
