[74bomayemcfc]

best guitar solo in the world!!!.....

[whentherope]

@slammerworm1 I was just thinking of how glammy it is, I'm glad someone else hears it or we're both crazy

[emanuellle06]

MOZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[alex99fever]

:D.... moz looks hot <3

[Slammerworm1]

Nice heavy, edgy version. A glam rock anthem. These guys had the best 'singles' album in all of Britpop.

[invictorium]

this is why man needs a time machine.

[Criszzilla]

@invictorium Lol.

[321090]

this is the absolute peak of british music we will never see anything like the smiths ever agian

[tubeasswipe]

did he say 'shirt lifters of the world'... at the end i think he did !!!

[NeverGetOld2009]

@tubeasswipe Yes, I heard it too.

[TheSweetSpot52]

Sublime......

[anfeildroad1970]

i maybe wrong but was not this there last live show ? what a group

[nitedrive]

By the time I'd fully appreciated The Smiths, they'd already played my city, then broken up.

Wish I could have seen them.

[craggymozzer]

@nitedrive same here mate, i actually got into the smiths about 3 months before they split up

[ThePetepiper]

This is a great video. It highlights the true genius of Johnny and Morrissey at its finest. Johnny's master melodies combined with Morrisseys lyrical prowess are god sent.

[mikeyFTP]

HOW COOL IS JOHNNY MARR ? PURE LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! greatest band by far. thanks for posting video.

[Milbo1973]

Anyone who doubts how good The Smiths were as a band should watch this post!!! ABSOLUTE CLASS. They could have gone on to rule the world of popular music from here....... imagine the life changing songs that we've lost.............the beautiful melodies we've been robbed of that were never dreamed up by the Morrissey/Marr partnership........a real tragedy that this band split up! Their back catalogue I suppose must be enough for us.....but one can only imagine.

[craggymozzer]

@Milbo1973 ,i'm sure when they first started they were up for world domination but they WERE bored before they even began,fuckin incredible band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alxfnch91]

1:50-2:10 30 seconds of pure guitar bliss. johnny marr scares me sometimes he is so good! i think that channel 4 should bring back the tube, there are no other programs left like it and i miss live music on terestrial telly

[domco77]

That solo is so good - love the 12 string sound

[jokamachi]

Good ol' Morrissey.

[flapjark1]

[mring111]

"the wretching one"?

[dawnbreaks]

[ekat99]

[lozhardy]

Johnny Marr is the best, most talented guitarist.

[snusansmammut]

[fortyfifthnoodle]

God Yes

[IKAIKA12345678]

*sigh* I just love him so much in those old pre-1990's days.

I'm just sorry I wasn't old enough or even able to speak when they were around.

[ellycat]

Just love at about 45 seconds into the video Jonny Marr says "get 'em off" to a security bloke with ref. to the 2 lads on the stage with them! LOL

[kicksex]

they wore out their welcome.

[ellycat]

Definitely. Have you checked out the Nottingham concert where Mozzer pulls fans out of the crowd to dance with them? The youtube vids for this gig have only just been uploaded. Big Mouth is the one to look at!

[kicksex]

sounds fun.

ill look now.

thanks!

[Rodriguez8521]

This is awesome Timeless song.

[lukabrotzi]

I'm ready when you are...

[TUDORPRINCE]

Rockin' video. I love that Moz has a Smiths shirt on.

[fg67hhkd9]
