I just watched Morrisey's version and then this. They're both different but equally beautiful. I can't even imagine watching them do this song together. I feel like they both play this song with such emotion because this song has taken on new meaning. If you search Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want Live on KZread, you get Morrisey and then Marr. They both perform the hell out of the song. It's almost creates this "This song says exactly what drove us apart. We both have what we want and now we are apart. It's bittersweet" It's truly sad and you can see it in their faces. I wonder if they think about their time in the Smiths more when they do this song than any other song.

this song gives me a warm feeling, the rendition of it is perfect, so soft and calm

a beautful rendition of a beautiful Smiths song (one of my faves.), performed by an amazing song writer, guitarist and now vocalist.

I think this is better than the original. I know Marr isn't as good a vocalist as Morrissey, but he's still a good singer, and moreover the guitars on this are as good as on any performance he's ever given. The way the meandering, teasing opening segues into the song, the superb solo, plus the beautiful ending he's given it, with THAT final chord. Perfection.

Nah, you're forgetting the glorious mandolin(s) on the original studio recording.

This is my all-time favorite song and if you had asked me before I saw this if anyone should ever sing this song but Morrissey, I would have said no. And been wrong. Johnny's soul is as much a part of the song as Morrissey's and it comes through in that rendition. For over thirty years now that song has been the song for me and to have this version appear is a gift. I will come back to watch again and again.

Music for the ages.Just beautiful.Johnny showing his Irish roots.Morriseys lyrics are just so in tune with the music.They really were the sum of their parts.
