The Smiths - You've Got Everything Now - Live

[cherrylipgloss1979]

VHS rules

[yazzy2126]

What a great band.

[DMCDize]

IT WOULD ANSWER MINE!

[cherrylipgloss1979]

Such nostalgia and I didn't even see this when it was new but only new to me!

[leonardjohnny67]

rourke is out of place with marr? what the fuck are you on about? they were 19yrs old, youre probably a 45 yr old muso with a PRS guitar, you boring cunt, its about the vibe

[chiefbag]

The encoding or transfer to digital is as they say in the trade a bit fucked.

It's slightly slow therefore the pitch is slightly lower, this must have occurred during transfer from analogue. My guess is the original tape was used in a diff. mach. while transferring. As the original mach. was recording at a slightly faster speed then the playback mach. this is the result. Stiil good though, just a technical observation.

[FAXBEAT]

so punk rock because he destroyed the flowers.

[leonardjohnny67]

i was there :-)

[fuckpants69]

I hate the smiths

[xILambyIx]

@fuckpants69 The Smiths hate you.

[MrMarkfoster]

@fuckpants69 why listen to the smiths on youtube then ? you stupid idiot

[89morrisseyisgod]

i woz born 2 late music is wank now days

[Fallen80sChild]

The bass is SO loud. lol

[drr12341]

@Fallen80sChild i think he turned everything up all the way when he played live, and maybe even while in the studio. It is funny! I got that info from a book i bought lol.

[takincareof]

Best Smiths Song Ever!!!!!

[echowebpr]

I love the bass lines !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[captaincomputa]

This song just about sums my life up

[captsouth]

I don't think the crowd disliked the music. I think they were in awe. A lot of early Smiths shows were packed out. People stared with their jaws open. How could you not?

[wyominghusker]

A Smith's reunion would be answered prayer.

[QLFILMS]

wish i could see them live. They were such an awesome band . that crowd was painful...

[russellfoureyes]

Wow. This bit of film had actually teleported to The hacienda...During this duration I was transfixed...Fantastic thank you for providing this experience :)

[Flip2k]

Man. How were they THAT good that early on!? That were undoubtedly destined for greatness.

[TheMalcolmgibb]

This is my favourite Smiths song. The Smiths are by far the best band in the last 50 years.

[simongl]

So this is what going to hell must feel like..

[4evainter]

@simongl if hell sounds this good..sign me up prunto!!

[hopskipjumprecords]

the smiths are one of the best things to happen to music ever

[TheWonderfulspam]

I have always been a big fan of the Smiths, & Morrissey's solo work has been good to excellent in places too, having found a stack of rare Rough Trade Singles in my collection I listened again recently to the majority of their back catalogue....

This has got to be one of my favourite Smiths Songs.

I love you Morrissey

Pure Art

[christopherhaley1964]

well its to do with getting more out five notes than many composers get out of five thousand

[hurting]

Morrissey really shows off his range in this song - I hear as many as five distinct notes in there.

[edugaela]

ai cara esse video e bom d+

[ReeceHughesRocks]

morrisseeyy fuck off with your flowers lol

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

@ReeceHughesRocks fuck you

[MandaOwl]

The way he beats the shit out of the air with those flowers almost makes me laugh - you can watch how they become fewer and fewer until he stands there with just one broken flower left. Priceless.

[M1K3R0LPH]

the smiths are the best band ever but don't sound great live.

[artysmokes]

Slightly slower than the album version, but brilliant all the same.

[leonardjohnny67]

jesus christ, i saw them in october of the same year it changed my life morrissey and marr i owe u everything!

[captaincomputa]

Them Geraniums are getting some stiick!

[MrMarrman1]

ha! hello you little charmers!

[bilalgill101]

@MrMarrman1 we're The smiths, how do you do?

[MrMarrman1]

@bilalgill101 Ha! Morrisey is a legend!

[LavaEatsDavid]

You got to admit it's pretty funny when you watch this video after you clicked the vuvuzela button haha

[jamesha175]

@LavaEatsDavid agreed LOL! what happened to the vuvuzela button?

[therealsoulproduct]

I like this bass line better. This particular version is my #1 favorite Smiths song.

[LennonMorrissey]

Rourke is out of pace with Marr here

[sinner48]

great band one of the best

[piguitit0]

Great song,great voice,great fucking hair!!!

[bananimalistic]

your band is good, i really dig this tune. do you have any realeses yet?

[Smownage]

lol?

[ZoSo763]

@bananimalistic yea?

[frigger121]

the significance of the flowers in this song is they start off beautiful and complete like his life, but as the song goes on they crumble to nothing.. Just like he states his life does

[JackDylanBeaumont]

i thought it was also supposed to symbolise rebelliousness and vigilnece towards the society he lived in.

[kevwer360]

@frigger121 or maybe he just likes them?

[choccyraisans]

One of their best next to "I know its other".

[JackDylanBeaumont]

i know its over is brilliant, however quite a lot of people i know who also like the smiths prefer there more up beat songs such as panic or charming man.

[rastashlomo]

their bets song is "heaven knows I'm miserable" I luv that song!

[VersaceRIP]

Morrisey's hair is outta control heh

[cgubbs]

def in their top 5.. simply put - a fabulous track

[PaleFire09]

Johnny Marr a god among men, get at that!

[kawaii51514]

you guys are a really amasing band,thanks to your music you really open my eyes and see the reality of this life

[KtotheY77]

its funny how he just ends up with sticks by the end.

[clevo891]

that's the point ;)

[JackDylanBeaumont]

indeed.

[nick1137]

whats up with the flowers

[kanenite619]

thats trademark man

anybody whos anybody knows flowers are a staple of rebelliousness (not sure if i spelt that right)

[gards2]

That looked like a very unappreciative audience (gulp)

[dpisceslady]

SO THERE!

[federeta]

koja je priča s ovin cvićen i mavanjen :-o

[Brotherbaylon]

Ah, you wouldn't understand. Good sons like you never do.

[Giangal90]

Why isn't a proper version of 'Well I Wonder' on youtube?

[stevekilbey]

@Giangal90 It is really a pity, mate. "Well I Wonder" is one of my favourites.

[corky4742]

how i wish i could go back, just for one night

[Rmg12]

@corky4742 I wish i was old enought that I could have seen them. I'm only 19. but I know 80s had the best music I think. I love the smiths and morrissey oh my.

[jamesha175]

@Rmg12 good comment! honestly you didn't miss much - a lot of drunk driving and STDs. count your blessings youngster!

[amistill1987ill]

@corky4742 oh what a night it'd be

[captaincomputa]

@corky4742 For good more like:)

[jenetchka]

@corky4742 i cannot say how much i share the feeling

[mylestails]

what an amazing song, how were they so good?

[ar4216]

Magic. Just one of those things.

[bobjoshilly]

just been true to himself, i love this band

[robertkinghalifax]

"don't forget the songs that made you

laugh and the ones that made you cry"

I am my mother's only son and I am a

desperate one.

[caryllg]

this is one of my fav smiths tunes thanks x

[rubbishycrap]

Johnny Maar is a fucking great guitarist.

[kittycotton1]

holding flowers in his right hand is like some kind of ritual.

[losinghell]

Hello you little charmers. we are the smiths!!!!!!!

[democrategirl]

I always loved the flowers. Morrissey was so cute!

[mikeyFTP]

that was played on my 17th birthday. and now i am 43 and i still love the smiths. best band ever . perfect oh the memories. caley palais the playhouse . the barrowlands. best gigs ever. thanks for posting.

[blockleg]

whats with the flowers?

[timewillprove]

Do you really need to ask?

[sundaygirl91]

'You are your mother's only son, and you're a desperate one' Classic!

[NLSpecialist88]

Morrissey just killed those flowers. How insensitive.

[drummer19919]

LAME CROWD, i would kill to see them~!

[hankx32]

clearly this crowd had no idea what they were watching, compare this to the crowds a few years later! lol

[JonasBridgous]

Morrisey... his lyrics are to-the-point and utterly palpable. No pretentious bull shit like other notable lyricists.

[richardscunningham]

i agree entirely and thats why hes better , he sings what people think not what sounds nice/

[idratherlistentobowi]

i dont want a lover, i just want to be seen, in the back of your car.

[RobbieRetard]

Morrissey Live, even now is amazing, specially at the barrier after queing for 12 hours outside

[hrhlynn]

what nostalgia! I lived in london 1982-85 and saw them regularly; the flowers, the hearing aid, the national health issue glasses. obviously though, at this point, moz was in the infancy of prop cultivation. love it! best band.

[desasterz]

sucks! its usually faster.. this is a drag

[tristans]

the live performance sounds exactly the same as the studio recording, amazing

[katatmurderhaha]

no, this sounds slowly ;]

[andrewkenworthy]

whats amazing about the smiths is every song is a gem,,so much to say and said in the best possible way with guile and sarcasm and occasionally,,well a lot of the time dark humor.

[sinbin55671]

LOL

Morrissey:"Hello you little charmers we are the smiths!!!"

Crowd: Silence, awkward claps

[chepe371]

i think those weere the drumsticks not claps

awkwardness x 10

[leonardjohnny67]

i saw them the next time they played the hacienda, oct 83, un-fucking believable still the best gig of my life, and i saw early roses too, by then manchester knew what it'd given birth to and the crowd were fucking on one!

[54spiritedwill54]

I love this video. it's so raw, and the flowers are a nice touch.

[wungabunga]

Tough crowd. Did Morrissey or Marr give a fuck? Nope! I pissed myself when Marr held his guitar up like a rock god and smiled at the crowd "come on then!". Morrissey opens with "hello you little charmers" and finishes with "So there!!". Talk about confidence in your abilities!

[bronsztajn]

La décoration florale est inoubliable.

[ttto]

Vraiment.

[chaoz87]

I love The Smiths,

they are the best live band i've seen.

[matrags]

Your profile says you're 21?

[chaoz87]

I meant seen live on video lol

[dalelacey]

why do americans have to be the way they are? (and im not talking about the Smiths)

[MagicTGman]

Only 98% of Americans are "that way." The other 2% are fighting an uphill battle, but at least that keeps us thinner than the other 98%.

Unrelated to previous comment: I'm new to the Smiths. I'd ask how I missed this, but I was about 2 at the time. Glad I'm hearing it now.

[thenifeelnothing]

indeed........LAG

[albertobeatsounds]

andy rourke (bajista) el bajista mas creativo de la historia...

andy rourke, the bassist the most creative bassist i've never met

[Queenesy]

very complax tune with deep intention lyrics, only the narrow- minded could never get it :-) try listen once in your life - Moz is the best song- writer ever !!!

[smithsfan92]

johnny marr is such a poser. even more so than morrissey

[legitamatethursday]

Johnny Marr! You are to cool!

[gladiator4393]

wow...you can tell that the crow doesn't quit know how to take them...vintage...awesome!

[ianbeck73]

Truly one of my favourite Smiths songs. Moz & Marr - greatest songwriting partnership of all time.

[foxxyloxx]

Totally agree.

[askl23]

I still can't figure out this song on guitar.

[tylerkershaw]

hahha this sounds HORRIBLE but i really love it.

[rgsimon]

not that bad, tyler...you have to see Iain Brown live ;-)

This is history of pop.

[plubble123]

I love this video. it's so raw, and the flowers are a nice touch.

[PenguinsAreMagenta]

the beatles are definitely not under rated, they are THE most covered band in world history. and they are still fucking tight, just like the smiths. just start listening to music for what sounds good, not how many people like or dislike it.

[PenguinsAreMagenta]

someone please explain why he has flowers. he has more in the music video for this charming man.

[couscoustv]

According to Morrissey "it was better than waving socks about"

[nict1973]

Yes.

[xejlod]

indeed

[goneAWOLagain]

LOL @ morrissey bashing his flowers so much that by the end he's just left with a twig!

And Johnny Marr's guitar is amazing

[pcmedix]

LightBox7, thank you, thank you, thank you for this vid!!! Excellent!

[alichoturko]

This album has the tightest rhythm playing I have ever heard from this kind of music. I love it. The bass playing is off the hook. The guitars are perfect! The drumming tight.

[Erasmus37]

Haha it is so great the number of live versions I've heard Joyce fuck up during... Thank God andy is such a beast, I'm willing to proclaim him one of the best five bassists of the 80s.

[sucramnormark]

So true.

[flowerlike42]

And who are the other 4 ??

[kratos829]

mike joyce is the drummer

[reymysterio124]

And johnny marr is a brilliant guitarist

And I'm deffo ready to proclaim my personal fave guitarist

[dasneonlicht]

Joyce is like, "Here's the tempo, alright?" and Rourke is like, "No, I'm afraid not."

[margaretplus]

the beatles and the smiths both had music about love, but they wrote about love in different forms. the beatles and the smiths don't want their music to be compared, they want you to understand their music and the meaning behind it, maybe even relate to their music. love is universal and artist use that so they can communicate with other people and build something with people.

[reltonpelton]

yeah but the beatles appeal to everybody in the world at some stage of their career, wheras the smiths are more like the beatles for misanthropes. not that ive got anything against misanthropes but lets call a spade a spade. ergo, the beatles are better

[jayl1]

I disagree.... I'm going to have to say the Smiths are better...better music, better lyrics....but whatever floats your boat.

[louisthunders]

Yeah, "I wanna hold your hand" has nothing on "Hand in Glove".

[merdufer]

tea is like water for people who likes tea. not that ive got anything against people who like tea but lets calla spade a spade. ergo, water is better than tea.

[kaguth]

Yeah, I guess you could say that objectively the beatles are better, but I've never been the objective person in question. The Smiths are the best ever for me.

[dellboid]

At the end of the day its all about personal taste, i dont like the beatles but i can appreciate what the did, and respect their success. i love the smiths but globally its fair to say that they werent as popular as the beatles, despite being a huge fan.

[thebull67]

beatles are overrated

[XxLeahwxX]

Yeah, that's why they're so successful(!) Pfft! are you kidding? the Beatles are extremely underrated, same with the Smiths

[TheJibs]

I'd be cheering a whole lot louder if I were in that audience!

[flowerlike42]

He looked still so shy here but already starting to become Morrissey.

[yiyoto]

this charming man........you are so right man!

[rael1999]

The birth of genius often goes unnoticed....time has and will in the future show this band to be one (if not the most) of the most influencial bands in British Music...and before all you scousers start banging on about The Beatles...did they ever write lyrics like Moz...not too mention Marrs complex but clean licks...I think not !!

[CanUblameus]

Nice comment and could not agree more. Have often thought about how The Smiths compare to The Beatles. Both ground-breaking bands that defined their respective generations. But Morrissey's arch lyrics and vocal style show The Beatles' songs up as simple, twee melodies. Sample lyrics: "I wanna hold your hand", "Love, love me do, you know I love you". Says nothing to me about my life.

[OliverKick]

nice nice

[juttkeys]

but what you have to realise (and I am a smiths devotee through and through) is that times change and the beatles changed an era just like the smiths did as did Johnny Cash before etc etc. indeed the birth of a genius does go unnoticed.. yer gonna miss him when he's gone.....thats genius

[MagicTGman]

I have to agree. Classis bands are always considered in contemporary context by the latest generation.  We can always take solace in the fact that these youngsters, not that I'm terribly old, are completely oblivious to the fact that their favorite bands were inspired by the very classics they so adamantly put down.

[Reint25]

Don't get us wrong. ;) I'm from Holland, I'm 16 and The Smiths are my favourite band.

[godlessKnowledge]

I'm from Northern Ireland, I'm 16 and The Smiths are my second favourite band after Radiohead.

Just felt like saying that to make it official.

[ohdiacho]

I'm from Brazil, I'm 18 and The Smiths are my favourite band.

[erkierkierki]

here, have a trophy!

[CheerPink62]

Ahhhhh, this takes me back. . .

[mattcribbin]

"Ass kissing statement about the smiths . . . "

[moznico]

PERRRFFECCT song for the one u luv taking everyddamnthing...Including your Morrissey and Smiths CDs!

[moznico]

Meaning by the EX...

[kratos829]

where did u get this footage?
