Sandie Shaw - (Morrissey Smiths) Jeane live

[grlluvsmoz]

one of my faves...

[xILambyIx]

Her voice fades out after every line. It's really irritating.

[Philmod68]

Very NICE Sandie! : )

[gravelandgrain100]

"how can you call this a home, when it is only a grave"...if that is not a profound statement, I don't know what is. The Smiths-greatest band EVER!

[alanmal1977]

glad i saw this .. thank you Sandi... but not quite right... THAT SOUNDS WRONG, fook sake it's SHAW! Buttttttt..............

[quidly259]

for god sake sandy tour!!!!!! ffs

[mcs1hr]

This is better than the original and the Billy Bragg version, Marvellous stuff.

[newsgodaz]

I'm an old guy and I love Sandi.. always barefoot from her first hit Girl Don't Come.. and this song is magnificent

[dirkbogarde44]

Wonder if this was the 88 CND benefit gig at the old Town and Country club, when The Darling Buds and James were also on the bill ?

[CyberTrees]

this song is fucking radical!

[backspinking]

No thanks. Let morrissey sing it. I Don't Owe You Anything was good but this wasn't... at all. Thanks for uploading tho. Its good to watch stuff like this to know if you like it or not lol.

[backspinking]

@backspinking I actually meant hand In Glove. That was a good one. I Don't Owe You Anything was another one she did I could do without lol

[01011101010001111010]

Pete doherty should learn something from this

[Sluggie208]

I feel blessed because I was lucky enough to see Sandie perform this a couple of weeks ago at the Vintage at Goodwood festival. She was totally stunning and I only wish I'd had the foresight to record her performance somehow.

Thanks for sharing this.

[morrissey02]

This is the only The Smiths/Moz song that I like to be sung by some one who is not Moz.

[Downbythewater73]

Ah, Sandie...

[likelylassofArcady]

oh my how awesome..

[priapus56]

There you go...she CAN sing..

[mastertusk]

What year?

[ZenaFilm]

Sandie's own interpretation of the song exceptionally well delivered.

[AndrewMcCheyne]

Over acting, trying too hard...

[zonty13]

No , it's "method " singing... apparently.Love Sandie to bits but I don't like this version of the song."Are you ready to be heartbroken " is a far superior cover.

[mrshankly213]

totally wrong, it was full of soul to me kidda

[ThatsaCryinShame]

great voice very folksy in a way.

[Grisleyreg]

What a singer, What a Woman, Yes Please

[teamcrumb]

steady on, you're ruining the vibe

[pudhob]

no your wrong

[deathrockunion]

this sucks, she sucks.

thanks for fuckin up a great song.

[teamcrumb]

you suck, we all suck

[jeffydiablo]

w00oo00oot and UImeyda08 should get in a slap fight. that would entertaining! Sorry for being american, I know I have no bussiness enjoying this great music.

[Ulmeyda08]

Oh, W00oo00oot got eliminated. He tried to get rude to the master so I just had to show him the ways. Notice how he is to scared to respond to me anymore.

[Ulmeyda08]

Not American.

But be it an American term or not, it's what you are.

You just sit around like some complete failure, dreaming of joining the ranks of The Smiths and The Stone Roses but know in your heart you never will, so your life will only ever equate to routine shelf work or being on the dole. I bet you'd suck Morrisseys dick if he asked you to.

Just kill yourself 'w00oo00oot', your life is just painful, do it while listening to "Asleep" even. But please do it, you sad lonely cunt.

[Ulmeyda08]

You know what I ment, You're such an autistic cunt you know, its like you sit at home all day and wank over Morrissey dreaming to be him even though your time is running out before you become just some old lonely loser.

[silentzedjozn]

i melt everytime i hear her sing this...

[pdscotia]

Perfect - the song AND the performance,

[supacobs]

sandie is a goddess one of the best voices in music she should cover a whole album of the smiths

[Ulmeyda08]

Better the original easily, and I love The Smiths.

[foatbathrooms]

It doesn't get much better than that.

[cecil90210]

if you watch her older vids shes stunning.

i dont know what it is about her....walking round with no shoes or what.....this song is wicked.

[HangTheDJ16]

I agree... there is something about her not wearing shoes that strangely draws me to her...

[Mozzerella100]

@HangTheDJ16 ahm dancing barefoot

headin for a spin

[jhbanner]

Sandie Shaw is God

[warszawa70]

123strauss,i think your hearing aid has started to melt.

[localhost123]

Anyone know when this was? She doesn't seem to age much. But then some women will always be gorgeous, e.g. Helen Mirren, Michelle Pfieffer, Cheri Lunghi etc.

Timeless talent.

[mrmemo27]

boring

[ann2shoes]

Carry on guys! At least your dialogue smacks of reasonable intelligence and I can read it! Although a fifty-something fartdom (whatever we are called) - I love the old stuff, but some of the new music is great too. I'm stuck so fast on the fence I might need an operation to get off!

[123strauss]

I only watched this to see Sandie . I'd never listen to the Smiths , or indeed any modern band , for a micro second otherwise . Sandie came from the great days when songs had tunes .

[rael1999]

Oh Dear 123strauss Old Fartdom has set in and I don't think there's a cure...Young kids these days hay....by the way The Smiths aren't modern they disbanded in 1987....You know back when you could get a loaf of Hovis delivered by bike !!

By the way Sandie great rendition of an early Smiths classic !!

[123strauss]

What's wrong with old fartdom ?  I don't want a cure . A cure would mean that I would have to pretend to like the vile hellish garbage that music has been for the last 30 years . Isn't it better to be true to yourself . If you love modern shit , then you're deluding yourself , and in many ways , that makes you very sad indeed . Don't you see the irony here ?

[rael1999]

Irony pmsl...Nah it just makes you a predictable ' it's not like it was in our days' fifty something....Dear God if there's anyone under 35 reading this don't associate Me with this dullard....How arrogant to believe that only great music came from your youth....you'll be telling Me Puppet on a string was class next !!

[123strauss]

I may be a dullard , but at least I'm true to myself , unlike you , who is deluding yourself, year in year out . Act your age grandpa, I am . And " puppet " may have been rubbish , but I can rhyme off a million songs from the 60s & 70s that will last forever , unlike the drivel of today , that is forgotten 5 secs after you hear it . ( Did you miss the Beatles and co , or were you drunk for decades ) . And , I'd rather have " puppet " than every song the Smiths ever made ( I'm not lying )

[rael1999]

I presume your medication will be arriving shortly...and it's nice to see they give internet access to the patients at the labotomy clinic... Oh and don't bang on about the Beatle...she loves you yeah yeah...I am an egg man coo coo ca choo and when I'm sixty four...seems you got there about 30 years ago lol !!

[123strauss]

Ha ha ha ..you're putting on a brave face friend , but deep down ...you know I'm right .

[rael1999]

You know you're right...I'm off to buy Freddie and The Dreamers...'You where made for Me'

[123strauss]

You don't have to buy it mate ...I'll send you an mp3 of it right now if you like ..LOL

[rael1999]

It's okay I'll Garr it (y) myself

[spiderkiss]

60s very over-rated, 70s and 80s under. Elvis Costello, for one, has more talent than all 4 Beatles combined.

[priapus56]

@spiderkiss Man, you wanna get dem spiders out of yer ears!

[Hicksie52]

@spiderkiss Yeah, right. Next time you're back on Planet Earth, give us a shout....

[andrewkenworthy]

its asmiths song..silly to resist the smiths music

[spiderkiss]

Many songs thru even 90s have great melodies. The very song she is singing does.

[IndieAnnieJones]

Amazing. When the clip ended, I realized I'd stopped breathing!

[v1m]

A real flambé of a rendition, mind your eyebrows. Try the Billy Bragg cover for something closer to the spirit of the song.

[teufelhunden70]

I believe Sandie Shaw stood in for Morrissey during The Smiths' second appearance on the Top of the Pops. I recall seeing an interview where Sandie mentioned that she wasn't particularly a Smiths fan nor had she heard any of their songs up to the point when she was invited to stand in for Morrissey. She has a very lovely voice.

[suuzzee5]

Lovely song! Thanks to syd for the share... :)

[wungabunga]

I'm not sure Sandie was particularly into the Smiths - if memory serves me right - and it surprises me that she covers their songs... The guitar is cobbled together on this performance and I don't particularly like the vocals either. But that's personal taste.

[sgilrein]

S Shaw is the ratherest thing.

She's a scream.

What do they say about her in Breathless, again?

[jimhillen]

I'm a die hard Smiths Fan, but Sandie has shown how this song should be sung. She adds the extra emotion needed to show the subject matter and message that Morrissey intended for this song. Beautiful Sandie!

[smilleydunc]

I think the guitar adds to it.

[Fluudu]

i still thing the smiths performance of this song is much better

[smilleydunc]

Once upon a time I thought those two had a thing for one another just because one idolized the other. Morrisey was influenced by Sandi and Sandi covered his songs. It's just interesting how how one could take a good song and add a little spice on it to make it better.

[britdude1961]

HE Y THIS IS LOVELY

[bluestarbelgrade]

This is my favourite smiths song and Sandie more than does it justice. Thanks for putting this up there.

[japanesexxx]

Sandie I love you

[hertblue]

I love this song so much. I first heard it when I was 18 and it is so so so beautiful. The anguish of a broken relationship. Who couldn't relate to such poignancy in life. So simple. So perfectly rendered by Morrissey's words and Shaw's fantastic voice.

[smilleydunc]

I agree. Anything they do to together musically is sure to come out nothing better then perfect

[belgheriox]

i love it too - there is a beautiful live

perfomance '' a cappella " during the

festival di Sanremo more than ten years ago.

do have someone got it ??

where i can find it ??

[mring111]

better than the smith's version

[PadmeAmadildo]

Immense! Sung with passion and verve. Sandie is a megastar and the Smiths are da bomb.

What a contrast to 'You don't bring me flowers' by Streisand and Diamond (qv) who are/were just a pair of cynical, grasping old hacks!

[narcissa912]

Ah, Sandie! <3

[cigabite]

Absolutely great voice and look

Trying to see if possible to find also hello angel and cool about you

[rael1999]

Wonderfully Rich Voice Sandie...Class Lass

[derbbus]

This is a very credable version of a great song which probaly isn't that easy to sing. Well done!

[SMALLPARTZ]

Some of the best lyrics Morrissey ever wrote and one of the most infectious guitar lines Marr ever thought up. I'm not saying the Sandie Shaw version is bad, I'm just saying when it comes to an original Smiths track verse a cover, the original will ALWAYS win.

[ericxpenner]

The recorded version of this is absolutely fabulous. One of the greatest recordings I've ever heard.

The Smiths' version is fantastic as well, and will always be one of my favorites. It sounds as though Morrissey hasn't got total confidence in his voice, and Marr's guitar work is overly simplistic - especially for him. Both of which are reasons that make it outstanding in my book.

[poosaypirate]

please upload it if you have it id love to hear the studio recorded version of HER version

[TykoEaston]

gorgeous version, her vocal reworking is great. also makes you appreciate moz as a songwriter

[valegreen]

wonderful voice, wonderful woman!

[starmandiddy]

Not bad but it dusnt make you feel the way it does when Moz sings it, part of me thinks Sandi was only involved with the Smiths as her hubby badgered Rough Trade so much to do sumthing with The Smiths, not for me but thanks for adding - just enforces The Smiths version to me...

If this came on the redio I wouldnt think twice about it, I remember when I heard for the first time by the Smiths and I couldnt get enuf, criminal it was left off the album and treated as a B side :(

[CaeLeopard]

Nope, Sandie got involved with the Smiths because Johnny Marr and Morrissey were fans of her- Morrissey was the one badgering her to come and collaborate with them :]

[19chazz76]

This song is awesome! Morrissey + Sandie Shaw = Good music!

[redwitch13]

HI,sorry if it's been asked but where and when is this?

[theface79]

At least Sandy didn´t fail here in the least, sod Jeanne.

[azulezos]

Yes sod Jeanne what a kinky lady = "bathing in the sink where there's ice in it" .

[spiderkiss]

I love how Sandie does this song, just great. The drama is wonderful. The guy below me is nuts.

[smithsfan92]

the smiths version is so much better with moz singing it's not as dramtic as this and i think she takes this song to seriously and her singing actually makes me laugh it's so crap she kills the song however the song is ace

[narcher91]

lol ace... haha idiot

[blokeazul]

Fantastic, that is my song!

Isn't she lovely?

[azulezos]

I agree with you - she's amazing; a truly honnest performance!!!

[ninelivecat]

Does Jeanne exist with Morrissey on vocals ?

[MickeyFerry]

Yes. The Smiths' version has never appeared on any albums or compilations, but was the B-side to This Charming Man in 1983, and became available for the first time ever on cd in 1992 when This Charming Man was re-released.

[rdw7300]

There is a realy raucous version with Moz on vocals among the Troy Tate demos. It's a must.

[JohnnyYugoslavia]

I love sandie shaw and I love the smiths.

but this recording was just a little too dramatic for me to really get into.

[azulezos]

not one of my favourites either,. I really can't get into this song- somewhat dramatic to my taste and yet she sings rather well and the repetion of "how we tried and we fail" gets a bit annoying .... well ,she didn't write the song so I "forgive" her.However her voice is BRILLIANT!!!

[Winfield92]

hey, she's good. not to be rude, but does sandie just sing morrissey? O.O

[shakespearsister]

truly beautiful!!

[grazianeddu]

Hmmmm no no,i prefer the Smiths version,the original

[missmascara17]

this live version is significantly better than the recorded version!

[IzuraS]

Yeah, surely the Sandie version is quite better, but this live doesnt sound so good...and i think she knew that....anyway i love Sandie.

[fcossy]

excellent version of an excellent song. Anyone know what year this was recorded?

[oxfordjames]

1984 for the Shaw version (dont know about this particular live version). The Smiths version was a B-side of This Charming Man in 1983. Hope this helps.

[Isitrainingpodcast]

She is still milking this thing eh!!!!

[IKAIKA12345678]

Oh how I adore Sandie's version of this. Morrissey may have written it, but Sandie owns it!

Thank you for this. Had no idea an actual video recording existed for this version.

[Toadyhead]

Oh Good Grief! Not this boring broad again!

[valala1919]

haha!

[azulezos]

she is not a "broad" SHE IS A LADY you twit!

[PORTIA666]

WOW!! Finally an Awsome copy of someone doing this song. I wish there were more live copies of The Smiths doing it. Go Sandie!!

[xfranciscobx]

I loved this song since I was a little boy... Thanks for the video... brings back great memories.

[mbillborn]

nothing less than brilliant

[fcossy]

many thanks again

[dlowm]

Intense! Sandie's new recordings from her website are also excellent.

[Pinkiecubbitt]

brilliant!

[ThisCharmingMan64]

incredible.

[padraic2001eire]

Love it.
