morrissey knows a great band when he hears one!

Superb, it sounded amazing live with Moz's vocals. Thanks for the upload.

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).

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

[manoeuvrebyjupiter]

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.

[Murjoe16]

Awesome. Saw him on Guyfawkes night and I really hope I can go see him again :D

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.
