Perfect for me---as I'm in a Smiths tribute band and happen to love Sparks to no end, particularly this song. Wish he were hitting all Russell's notes perfectly, but it's still an awe-inspiring performance (and selection of a cover I might add).
Mr. Morrissey and his accomplices do an excellent job with this material. The guitar work, as usual, is over the top and dramatic. I love the distinctive, buzz-saw roar of an overamplified Les Paul guitar.
I love Sparks and Morrissey, and this is an excellent cover. I'm glad he chose to do this cos "This Town Ain't Big Enough" is so over-exposed by other musos.
Not too terribly bad for a cover. Still, no where as impactful as the original, but as someone pointed out, it is good that someone is introducing it to new audiences.

Wait, is that really a Les Paul? What is that?

The song Sparks fans voted for to close the 21 x 21 gigs.
It slipped away, so great to hear Morrisey play one of Sparks finest. :o)

Good for Morrissey to bring notice to such an amazing tune but still not a patch on the 1973 Sparks original,
