  • The bassist has the most amazing eyes...

  • dudes... that's the drummer from Conan O'Brien's current band?

    I need confirmation...

  • and featuring the legendary Johnny Marr!!!

  • no thats not jools

  • Can someone tell me if that's Jools Holland on the piano solo?

  • @CroTube5000 no it is on the album

  • bons velhos tempos, the the, new order, joy division, lorde of the new curch, echo& bunnyman, clash, e tantos outros, isto sim era musica! grandes noitadas! saudosas!

  • the the brixton academy- I was there...

    The the vs The World Tour, 1990. Just before they released MindBomb.

    This is one of the the requests......It was me who shouted out to Matt when he asked what we wanted to hear...They also did Out of The Blue (from infected) and slow train dawn...

    One of the best gigs I ever went too... I've meet Matt a few times, he lives in Stratford East London, nice bloke..

    Tr00per

  • Johnny Marr has a bit of an Ian Curtisy look in this video, I didn't recognize him.

  • the the uncertain smile lekker nummertje toch

  • excellent!!!!!

  • superb!! i'va always love The The , and what a talent Matt Jaohnson is, !! on the albums he wrote the songs, played every instrument and sang, brilliant voice, and what a hottie yummm!!1

  • I've always loved this song anyway, but the keys on this truly elevate the song to a whole new stratosphere! Don't know who he is but love his style, when I played I was big on bluesy/jazzy riffs like him. Anyone know who he is? I think this is back when Matt actually recorded an album where the musicians contributed & got credit. As a former pro-musician (no claims to any kind of big fame! ;-) for me colaboration was the funnest part of playing/creating. Peace music fans!

  • I love this song!! Beautiful!

  • ...smile....

  • this one is even better (thanThis is the day)

    Love this song!!!!!

  • Wow. That was an awesome live show from back in the day!! Matt took the sideline on this one and he and Johnny m nodded to each other in awe during the keyboard solo. Impressive even now, having bought soul mining 25 yrs ago.

  • Love the b section before the chorus!

  • The The holds such a special place in my heart ~ I have the words from This is the Day framed on my bedroom wall. Thanx Bob ~ bestest of memories & the start of us!

  • A broken soul stares from a pair of watering eyes. What lyrics.

  • How good were the bands back then? I remember my friend taught me how to play Tracey Chapman and Suicidal Tendencies and The Cure's A forest on Guitar. Now all you get is Garbage bands, Kings of Leon, My Chemical Romance. What a shame.

  • The whole song is fantastic, but the one line that gets me is "Uncertain emotions force an uncertain smile".

  • @polarart: yeah, you're right, but it must be a youtube glitch or something... as it wasn't like this before. i also checked my orig. file and it's playing just fine.

  • the timing is off a touch, unless something wrong with my feed...

  • pedazo de pleyadiano.

  • I am blown away by the piano solo beginning @ about 3:35. Reminds me of the first time I ever heard the studio version of Layla on the Derek and the Dominos album

  • ...and on 3:34 dude is KILLING that piano, I mean just that solo part puts a whole NEW spin to the sound of this track!

  • M A R R ....!

  • The piano guy gets it. Johny Marr - well, and Matt is the dogs, fit as fuck, my favourite bloke. Roundup. x

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!!  matt johnson "the voice" the

  • Great song. Still.

  • THE BEST The The song ever.....was in my late teens when this came out.....WOW, awesome. Saw them twice in Atlanta, Ga.

  • the the fantastic band and lyrics

  • Saw them open up for The Cure in '93. Awesome show!

  • No one embodies de 80s as Matt Johson does!! Great, simply great!!!

  • sounds amasing live

  • I saw this tour, johnny Marr is the Man!

  • wow this really gets me goose bumps...It's my hymn of the 80's

  • You cant do any better than this.

  • yeahh it's true...he was underappreciated.

  • AVE OCHENTAS!!!!!!!!!!

  • very underappreciated artist matt is

  • Remember the XB the "Music that dares to be different" ganna go ganna hide gonna do something new in my life. . . who's this? DO YOU REMEMBER?

  • i just love to se THE THE, and here with Johnny Marr,

    saw them lve in Munich

  • the bass player reminds me of ralph.. or is it sam from the warner bros cartoons? haha. i love the the. it's funny that james eller (the bass player) was in julian cope's band for awhile also. at the time, i was heavily into cope and johnson's work. england must have been a small place in the 80s. hehehehe

  • the the such an underated band( well lets face it they not really a band its matt johnson). i listened to his songs for hours when i was growing up and still today. beautiful compelling music- timeless

  • @mittrell

    agree matt johnson is THE THE . same here i use to listen to THE THE every day from 1982 and still do now. I wonder if this video was taken when i went and saw them. damn why did i not get his autograph. abolutly brilliant !

  • Excellent concert video.

  • rage and triple j were brilliant then, i think triple j went more mainstream since.

  • i videotaped 100 greatest videos-6 hours of music-when i lived in Sydney around 1992- from a program called Rage which was broadcast overnight friday and sat nights. played the videos lots for years, so much that one section of the tape blanked out. this video was on there, somewhere around no 10 i think. i really missed it so it's fantastic to be able to root it out on you tube after so long. incidentally 'smells like teen spirit' was no 1 that year.

  • Matt Johnson = great talent.. (so is Johnny Marr)nice video

  • @stugats1 How good were the bands back then? I remember my friend taught me how to play Tracey Chapman and Suicidal Tendencies and The Cure's A forest on Guitar. Now all you get is Garbage bands, Kings of Leon, My Chemical Romance. What a shame.
