Morrissey doesn't receive enough credit for his live vocals. He's always been fantastic when performing, but many of the live Smith performances rival the actual vocal recordings.

I think that’s because he speaks mostly with the rhythm almost don’t even consider it singing that’s why I’m so good at singing Smiths songs because it’s not difficult I mean I’m not saying he’s not a good vocalist I’m just saying they’re easy songs to sing comparatively speaking to other music for instance Chris Cornell or something like that it’s very hard to sing along to Chris Cornell you know what I’m saying but it’s very easy to sing along with Morrissey or Anthony Kiedis

@@brashballs More people need to realize that. Still, that doesn't make Morrissey any less talented, he's just not the typical technical vocalist. On the other hand - Chris Cornell sounded atrocious live sometimes. He set the bar so high with his studio work that he couldn't do justice to his own songs.

As melodic and perfect as it is dark and haunting. It’s hard for me to watch these old performances because of all that has been lost from that bygone era of music when the Smiths crashed down on the scene like a radiant bolt. So powerful, so dazzling and gone so quickly.

so true brother

A mate of mine was drinking in the world's end pub in camden in 1986. Being from Liverpool he got into a conversation with a few blokes about the north of England. One of them, in denim, was particularly interested and thought my mate looked like "Elvis on acid". It was Morrissey. My mate didn't know who he was and ended up going round the pubs with him. Apparently people were giving Morrissey the nod and then looking at him thinking who's that? At the end of the night they parted company at a fish and chip shop. True.

“The ‘80s? I don’t even gotta go there. Except for The Smiths, maybe.” ~ Jeffrey Scott Buckley There will never be another band this incredible. Jeff Buckley was the only one who could channel this sound. He had around 5 years, too. The absolute two most important bands/musicians of my life showed up like a comet in the sky and then disappeared forever. This is the sound of the Gods. The highest this art form could possibly ever reach is on display right here. Pure and utterly incredible melodic Genius.

Of course came here for the love that i have for this incredible band, but the historical moment of the concert is so important. In the 80's Spain was a country rediscovering itself and starting to "live" after the end of the unfortunate fascist dictatorship... So much passion was felt in the younger generation to embrace the full potential of that beautiful country...

Morrissey is driving that band, he's extraordinary.

I saw Morrisey two times at Merriweather Post Pavilion outside of Baltimore , I was in the pit and got a piece of his silver lemay shirt after he ripped it off and threw it into the crowd . This specific Madrid video captures the essence of the 80s Smiths era perfectly . And the song and his performance is perfect to me .Ah, To be young again ..

This song... so incredible. Everything about it especially the guitar/bass.

The Smiths é foda não canso de ouvi-lhos.

This is the one album ( Meat is Murder) that I can listen to the whole album, like every song and still never get tired of it.

Simple chord progression, but it sounds so full and lush, especially in waltz timing.

The "I"ve seen this happen in other people's lives" line is really similar to a line in Rebels Without A Cause (James Dean movie) with the kids mother in the cop car scene, so I image Morrissey drew inspiration from that
