Johnny Marr and the Healers, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, Oct 13 2011, NYC

[pamcm1098]

...oh, and Modest Mouse a few times. You could say I'm a fan :-)

[pamcm1098]

never saw The Smiths, but I've seen him with The The at Symphony Space and The Beacon, The Healers at the Mercury Lounge, and The Cribs at the Bowery. Bummer. Is he going to be with the Cribs in April?

[pamcm1098]

How the F did i miss this show????

[crimsonflax]

@pamcm1098 It's was a very secretive show. Wasn't announed anywhere on the internets. It was some sort of private event. Sorry you missed it. It was wonderful.

[PassageOfChrist]

He really sings this beautifully.

[amyjohnson207]

@PassageOfChrist This clip is wonderful to watch but I'm not sure I agree...I think Johnny is a little insecure about his singing. He's deliberately blending his voice in with the music, rather than singing "over" or above it, to avoid drawing attention to it.

[hapaboi39]

Just incredible. Thank you so much for posting this!

[sherriffofhongkong]

Love johnny.....can't sing Morrissey lyrics without Morrissey..... it's like McCartney doing Lennon tunes...

[lamodette1]

phew



[soarornor]

I love Johnny. He really sings this nicely.  I would have loved to have been there. Thanks for posting.

[totheman]

Ha, is it really necessary of him to have pictures of himself in the back? Great set btw.

[dermot51]

@totheman  Whats with the backdrop ...no need

[lavitroladeldiablo]

3:58

no one can play the guitar like johnny

[boggedmaffus]

@auweia9 I think they're a Ray-ban sunglasses ad, they obviously sponsored the show...

[auweia9]

@boggedmaffus

ah ok, didn´t know that, unfortunately in this world and times without money music performances or art doesn´t seem possible - so thanks for the info

[amyjohnson207]

Strange to see Johnny singing lyrics that were written ABOUT HIM, but great nonetheless.

[auweia9]

@amyjohnson207

any prove?

[magnetic0314]

@amyjohnson207 I see what you did there. I quite liked it.

[cockshield]

Still looks effortlessly cool as fuck!

[feralcamero]

I love the homage to self in the background. It's a 2fer... two Johnny's for the price of one.

[polishbroadcast]

@feralcamero Yeah what is that? Promo or something?

[JuneMoris]

ANyone knows what pedals he uses?

[JuneMoris]

OMFG that guitar sound !!! I've been dying to have one of those for 3 years now.

[polishbroadcast]

@JuneMoris Lucky for you Fender is issuing a Johnny Marr signature guitar. That is what he is playing in the vid. US made so will be over $1k though. Add a Fender Deluxe Reverb and you will be set.

[MrGazzacadabra]

F******g great though :)

[killer29wayz]

FUCK YEAH!!

[mrsolofeo]

Now I get it--Johnny could never be the star so long as he shared the same band with Moz.

[1013637]

@mrsolofeo LOL

[callumlarr]

The lad's actually got a really nice voice. great to hear it from Marr as opposed to moz

[DunneArtmateur]

fuck, that day was my birthday!

[gonzax]

awesome, I love it!

[cikiciaki]

I'm sorry but i prefer Moz playing that. Look at live in manchester

[UnderTheAffluence]

@cikiciaki The best version ever was the Smiths playing this live.

[thischarmingmouse]

Profound lyrics, and profound notes, and I can't see anyone from any walk of life and at any time not relating to it.

[crparkinson63]

I even love the sunglasses.
