The Smiths perform "Handsome Devil" live at The Hacienda, Manchester on the 4th February 1983. Lyrics:
All the streets are crammed with things
Eager to be held
I know what hands are for
And I'd like to help myself
You ask me the time
But I sense something more
And I would like to give
What I think you're asking for
You handsome devil
Oh, you handsome devil
Let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it
A boy in the bush
Is worth two in the hand
I think I can help you get through your exams
Oh, you handsome devil
Oh, let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it
And when we're in your scholarly room
Who will swallow whom ?
When we're in your scholarly room
Who will swallow whom ?
You handsome devil
Oh, let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
There's more to life than books, you know
But not much more
Oh, there's more to life than books, you know
But not much more, not much more
Oh, you handsome devil
Oh, you handsome devil
Ow

"I repeat. The only thing to be in 1983 is handsome, HANDSOME DEVIL!" Great sound!!
Johnny smiling away because he's exactly where he wants to be.

Too bad he got complacent and took for granted the amazingness he was a part of.
John is nineteen here. Fuckin unbeliavable
That Bass Though! Andy Rourke is so underrated.

Karl_Winters Rourke is badass here! He really helped make their sound, it wasn't just Moz and Marr though it is hard to stand out hanging with talent like that. What a band.

Marr and Rourke used to play guitar together when they were kids and Marr said he was REALLY talented. I read it from his recent autobiography and I don't remember exactly what he said but I've got the impression that Rourke was almost as good as Marr back then. So no wonder he's fucking great on bass too!
Johnny Marr looks so badass and happy, truly a one of a kind guitarist!
That bass tone, absolute perfection

I don't know who did the mastering but it sounds good as heaven. And my god, what an incredible band and song. This is probably one of the best performances I've ever seen. And they're only 3. (as a guitarist myself I can tell Marr is god, by the way.)

@@fuckamericanidiot It got massaged quite a bit. It's the recording that ended up on the b-side to Hand in Glove. So much better than the BBC session.
Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, and Joyce made great music together for a short period of time. The Smiths will live on forever.
This is amazing! The rhythm section is VASTLY underrated but Morrissey and Marr are unstoppable too. What's not to love here? It's absolutely brilliant.
God he was so fucking fit

Never knew how great this song is, I’ve been listening to it non-stop lately and I adore it. I think this live version packs more of a punch than the studio version.
With questions about where did The Fall or Joy Division come from, still fresh in our adolescent minds, The Smiths emerged almost fully fledged and perfected with this and "Hand in Glove" - and they were probably the biggest enigma of the early '80s. What was in the water in Manchester at this time?
IMO this is better than the studio version. The lyrics of this song helped me come out in the 80's. For that I'll always be thankful.
Amazing this is from their third show. (Rourke's second) Already a force.
This riff is some not of this earth!!
There's more to life than books you know but not much more
Of course it is .it's the smiths. Finest band to ever exist.
I heard The Smiths instruments separated on a sound board once. Very nice. Rourke and Joyce were tight!!!
Lying in bed ,it's 12pm, tears streaming down my face because I've had my heart broken again and morrisey is my only comfort.

you can tell morrissey was influenced by post punk due to his fashion and took it further creating what we know as indie rock..i love moz more than the smiths but this is a damn good song.

the indie rock sound invention is ENTIRELY johnny marr, he wrote the tunes' guitar parts before any other instrument and gave them to morrissey in cassettes to sit with and sing over them... not to discredit his great vocals though...

This was the song that introduced me to The Smiths as a teen & now in my 30s I still love it. The guitar riff is sublime
Look at how happy John looks - living his dream. But dreams don't always last, eh
There's more to life than The Smiths you know...but NOT MUCH MORE, not much more!
Brilliant. Amazing riffs and funny lyrics. That's what I loved about the Smiths. This song is like a "Carry on" movie. Ooooh Matron!

This is the remaster from "The sound of the Smiths" I'm fairly sure, since it included a remaster of this song from this show, same date.

This is one of the most awesome smith’s videos I’ve seen! Love it!
