The Smiths - 14 The Queen Is Dead (Salford 86)

[SMThomasson]

I love how all the other band members are keeping their heads down and getting on with the job whilst Moz goes mental, whirling about the stage, holding up signs, jumping, spinning, thrusting. You can tell that performing was his life back then; the only time he came "alive" so to speak. God bless The Smiths, never to be replaced.

I was at this gig, it was ace, first time I saw them, fantastic

[creepycraig73]

13 and my life changed forever.

[SeedsofJoy]

Moz looked like he was really enjoying himself here.

[juliangee]

The energy of the Smiths looks great they look like a hardcore especially since the crowd is jumping up and down and Morrissey sings shirtless. Marr ROCKS!

[liamscokedealer]

That same guitar was Given to Noel Gallagher who wrote and recorded a bunch of Definately Maybe on it and proceeded to destroy it in a fight... bastard

[TheAce102]

True. Jonny Marr can bend space/time. Look at his work with The Cribs. Still this is one of the greatest wah-wah guitar freakouts of all time.

[JOANLONDES]

johnny marrrh is not from this world !

[JOANLONDES]

in one hundred years children will be thought about the smiths at school

[Jarvissey]

Life is very long when u missed out on all this for no good reason. Fantastic. What a magnificent Moz

[lew325]

I lost my shoe during this song. Got it back at the end of the night though.

[andypb123]

Utterly amazing. Oh to be transported back just to see one show of The Smiths at thier height. I would go insane! Such power and passion! No band has\will ever come close to matching them, they are utterly untouchable.

[Mick342]

Its incredible Realy.
