[stony11111]

It's so overwhelming, the voice, the lyrics, the guitar.... Unbelieveable... even after listening to it over a hundred times...

[oliverburke]

Gambini, I've seen these videos a few times now.

Many thanks, friend, for patching the audio & video together.

REALLY great job.

Timing is wonderfully synchronised, (rarely does that happen)

and you picked one helluvan album (one I heard for the first time 20 years ago (late-comer :)

Thanks a mill!

[646TB]

Thank you for posting this because this music comes from my childhood, growing up goth and living in the Bronx in the 1980s. Wow, Thank You Billy William Clemet Oliver the 3rd of The JollyRogers.

[therealgergory]

Im debating whether or not to become the first person to dislike the video!!

[Yokonono99]

@therealgergory

Why? :(

[StrawberryJungle]

@therealgergory NOOO! It shows it's celestial beauty that it hasn't been disliked.

[therealgergory]

@StrawberryJungle Thats a bit dramatic! Why are smiths fans such dicks! Im disliking!

[StrawberryJungle]

@therealgergory That's a very dangerous thing to say about Smiths fans on a Smiths video! :)

[therealgergory]

@StrawberryJungle You a dick! Was worth it!

[StrawberryJungle]

@therealgergory You don't know me, you banana! :)

Moz was beautiful back then!!

[girlfriendofnone]

Does it really matter about the audio? We know the mucic by heart. We even know the meaning now.

It¨ll never change; I was 17 in 86.

And Thank You for being wise and forward looking enough to acknowledge, that this is love.

[Ausut]

great uploads! but who is the second guitarist?

[89cheapmonday]

@Ausut

The second guitarist is Craig ("The Fifth Smith") Gannon, he played on the singles Panic and Ask and toured with the band around the country and USA. He also did some work with Moz in his solo career.

[Ausut]

@89cheapmonday ah ok, thanks for your reply!

[TheAce102]

I like how Marr's leads/hooks are very bright and clear in this version...Nice Strat.. good audio also.

[zeppelinrock]

This is becoming one of my favourite Smiths songs

[JimmyDuvalC11]

Craig Gannon had played with Aztec Camera and with The Bluebells before his work with The Smiths. When bass player Andy Rourke was fired in early 1986, Gannon was hired to replace him. Within a fortnight, however, Rourke was reinstated and Gannon moved to rhythm guitar, playing on the "Panic" and "Ask" singles as well as the scrapped single "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby". He toured with The Smiths in 1986 as their second Guitar player and stayed on until the tour was over in Oct.1986.

[dowhatuwill]

Thanks for the info. Obviously a good muso whose presence allowed Marr to shine live and play more intricate riffs.

The Smiths were magic, especially live.

[dowhatuwill]

I love this performance.Who's the second guitarist here?

[TheTenderhooligan]

@dowhatuwill Craig Gannon, he toured with them in 86. He used to be in Aztec Camera I think...

[Al112987]

[bambamanofir]
