The Smiths - This Night Has Opened My Eyes (Derby 83)

[Jon4002]

she took away your troubles ohhh but then again, she left pain

[maggsayy]

'im not happy and im not sad' i fucking love that line so much.

[daraheen]

In years to come, new Morrissey fans will have to google "News of the World" to see what it means.

[daraheen]

Tough crowd.



[FriedGold8942]

I never noticed that :26 was a thinly veiled reference to getting hit in the eye with that flower during Miserable Lie until just now. What a cheeky bastard.

[twogenius2010]

cant help to notice he looks like that poo-pusher from the twilight movies...good song however

[blacksunfish]

One of the songs which inspired me to take up the guitar.

[EditorTasha]

I wish I could've been there......but i wasn't even born til 88..

:-(

[motownleatherjock]

Guitar, voice, bass and drums and expert songwriting make this one of the most perfect songs ever. I had it on cassette in my high school days.

[danvazquez07]

he said he'd cure your ills... but he didn't and he never will

OHHHHHH shit! and also he's man at 0:52

[Harno3]

Great video,Moz....is art.

[roelant2]

Thanks for the confirmation. I watched the film based on that play on YouTube. Could cross reference some of the elements of the film but some elements are still unclear.

[losinghell]

not happy and not sad. that´s exactly how I feel now

miss the smiths :(

[ycls2004]

What made you smile and shy away my love ? Never happy ? Never sad ?

Oh. you lie but we love you for it.

[roelant2]

For me one of the best songs of the Smiths with mysterious lyrics probably based on the play "A taste of honey" written by Shelagh Delaney. Correct?

[losinghell]

yes, it is based on that play

:D

[blackyponyisthebest]

look at the hair go !!

i love him

[karziflora]

What a song, oh god.

Andy Rourke ur bass lines r dark and sublime at the same time, perfect match to JM's guitar.

Love U Rourkey!!!

[ItTakesStrength]

Lovely ending with the little bit on the cymbals...i love that stuff, i love mike joyce [VERY under-estimated drummer]

[JohnnyTrotz]

great!!! thnx for posting this.

[fernandostanlei]

Buena canción Morrissey se ve muy bien el cabron

[SWAC424]

I agree with my fellow peeps who feel the need to comment, I think its a little rushed but still great. I find alot of the early smith live has slightly changes in tempo.

[acamus36]

Yes a little too fast. The bass is so good it could be a song on its own!

[ThisiswhyIlikeyou]

Mozzer's hair as at it's most fantastic here...look at that fluff! Excellent rendition of this sad song, although Moz kind of ruins the mood a little with the smirk at 1:30-1:36. He gets it under control before the next agonized groan. Something was obviously humerous in the audience. He does not sing in this low register anymore, ah the old days, we miss you, Smiths.

[JonasBridgous]

Great song but played too fast in this instance.
