The Smiths, Markthalle, Hamburg, 4 May 84
The Smiths
Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany
May 4, 1984
This is one of the best complete live shows of the Smiths ever captured on film or video. Together just five years, they produced only four studio LPs (and assorted collections) that mark them as one of a handful of the most influential and important bands of the alternative-rock, post-punk era. Had they not broken up before the release of their fourth and final studio LP, they would surely be mentioned in the same breath as R.E.M. and U2.
Note Morrissey's attire, typical for 1984:
- Large blouse held together by one button
- NHS specs
- Flowers in the back pocket
- Attitude to burn
Also note the dazzlingly original and subtle guitar work of Johnny Marr.
Recorded in Hamburg, Germany, less than three months after their debut album, THE SMITHS, was released (20 Feb 1984).
Personnel:
Morrissey (Steven) - v
Johnny Marr - g
Andy Rourke - b
Mike Joyce - dr

Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer
"all-original, postmodern, mystical American folk"
(check out twoodburn's channel for more Dave & Tracy)
For those of us who love Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer, this is the Dave and Tracy we saw first, fresh from recording "When I Go" and winning songwriting contests throughout the folk world (Kerrville, Napa Valley, Wildflower). The world was theirs and we heard genius instantly. I know I did; it was a beautiful and wholly unexpected experience when I saw Dave and Tracy for the first time, and this is the closest you'll get to seeing Dave and Tracy the way I and so many others saw them: on a simple raised stage with absolutely no theatrics. It felt like discovering a gem that no one else had even named. It was a thunderclap.
My parents had Bob Dylan -- and though I love Dylan with all my heart, he wasn't (and isn't) mine. Dave's mine.
I can't tell you how sad I was when he died. It's not often that you listen to a song or an artist, and that artist or song becomes yours: not in any sort of ownership sense, but as a piece of your viscera, your best heart. Dave was mine -- in that way, at least.
If you like what you hear, I encourage you to check out Tracy's solo work, which is superlative, along with the four amazing albums recorded by this remarkable duo:
WHEN I GO (1998)
TANGLEWOOD TREE (2000)
DRUM HAT BUDDHA (2001)
SEVEN IS THE NUMBER (2006). Note: This is essentially the duo's re-recording of Dave's debut album SNAKE-HANDLIN' MAN (1995), which Dave released before he met Tracy. I believe they were working on this at the time of Dave's death, with all tracks recorded, and the collection was subsequently mixed and mastered over the intervening three or four years following Dave's passing. It's a gem of an album (as is Dave's debut, which is, sadly, out of print).

About Bones of Steel
Give me an underground laboratory, half a dozen atom-smashers, and a girl in a diaphanous veil waiting to be turned into a chimpanzee, and I care not who writes the nation's laws.
- S.J. Perelman (1904-1979)
In consideration of the day and hour of my birth, it was declared by the nurse, and by some sage women in the neighbourhood who had taken a lively interest in me several months before there was any possibility of our becoming personally acquainted, first, that I was destined to be unlucky in life, and secondly, that I was privileged to see ghosts and spirits: both these gifts inevitably attaching, as they believed, to all unlucky infants of either gender born towards the small hours on a Friday night.
- David Copperfield
