@@oguzhangoksel278 Yeah-it's just a pity the cameraman didn't turn the camera towards himself at some point. I guess we'll never know whether he's one of the cape-wearing heroes or one of the heroes that don't bother with a cape.😢
So sad, so touching. This song means so many different things to so many different people, all of whom have a different notion of what "getting what they want" actually means. Truly an anthem for the ages...
this composition is so ridiculously good... so impressive how working class kids wrote these complex melodies... gives me goose bumps that in England the lower classes make the high art and the upper classes eat from their noses
"gives me goose bumps that in England the lower classes make the high art " What a stupid thing to say. Looks like you made many mistakes in your comment.
It’s one of my favorite intros! I love how he hints at the song he’s gonna play and just lightly strums them then goes into the finger slides that sound like a fever dream.
+LATEON He is a legend I agree, but thankfully he is not underrated - most people rate him highly - from Noel Gallagher to the Queen...they all know him well!
I'm not a HUGE Smiths fan, but I LOVE Johnny Marr's playing style, he truly is unique. The chords he uses in this song are nothing short of beautiful, and he's capable of playing his work live with feeling that most artists can only dream of achieving on their instrument. RESPECT from Davey, Ireland... :)
Marr is the creator of the most beautiful guitar compositions of all time. The attempt to capture that feeling is why, twenty five years ago, I bought my first guitar. I have played every day since. His work still inspires and moves me. Thank you, Mr. Marr. You're amazing.
At the 4 minute mark I start to cry because this bit reminds me of a certain person who I loved so much and never knew it such a great song 🎵 Merry Christmas blessings to everyone 🇨🇦🎄♥️💗♥️💗
+franz Actually, to hear _"Ladies and gentlemen... after decades of absence... please welcome back... The Smiths",_ would be a lot better... Shame they're letting opportunity after opportunity fly by and time is running out...
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 RUclips, 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.
That was so hauntingly beautiful and very well said. I hope they do think about their time in The Smiths together. But, only the good times, for a change.
I love how his face shows very little emotion, he seems a little reserved. But then it all comes out through his guitar. What a wonderful way to express yourself.
Amazing song.. I know of The Smiths but I've never heard any of their songs. The chords in this song are, for me, so deep and melancholy, I hasten a tear or two, it reminds me of past tragedies, losing loved ones, or a lost moment in time that could've changed my future ... Johnny Marr has wonderful phrasing ... so moving.
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.
I have watched this at least ten times already and not sick of it! His guitar playing is so mesmerizing and I didn't know Marr could sing! I have been enjoying seeing him play without a band and never really knew how great his guitar playing is. I wish it was more noticeable in the Smiths albums! Great artist!
No dislikes. This is what i am talking about. This is an emotional performance. You can connect to the song easily. Absolutely love his take on it. :-)
I was in tears by the end of then song. Wow, amazing version. I've been listening to this song since I was a kid, loved it then, and it sounds better each year. Top shelf!
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.
Good times for a change see, the luck i've had can make a good man turn bad So please please please let me, let me, let me let me get what i want this time haven't had a dream in a long time see, the life i've had can make a good man bad so for once in my life let me get what i want lord knows, it would be the first time lord knows, it would be the first time
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.
Havent had a dream for a long time, well I have one know, Morrissey, Marr, Rourke and Joyce just sit down trash it out get back on stage and be the smiths again, There is a light that never goes out
Johnny Marr, thank you for everything. It changed my life ... listening to that guitar, and yes, Morrissey was impactful too, but I remember telling my friends in the 80s ... wait for it, listen to Marr
First time I have heard this version..absolutely incredible! Plus he sounds like Morrissey... unbelievable version..Thank you Johnny Marr..brilliant voice
Genius is a term thrown about these days. kids this IS what genius sounds like. If God had an ipod or more appropriately a walkman, then this would be the first track. Mr Marr thank you.
Jesus, this is bringing back a flood of memories....of me laying on my bed, depressed and teen angsty and the lyrics resonating so deeply within me. Thank you Johnny for the guitar that tore at my heart and Moz for putting my laments into words.
It's deeply heartbreaking to hear Marr playing the legendary Smiths' harmonies without Morrissey's voice, as much as Moz's voice without Marr's guitars. REALLY fucking sad!!!
It's funny to me that they are both playing the same Smith's tunes but whole-heartedly refuse to do them together. Just seems....I don't know...goofy? Maybe it's just me, though.
Beautiful intro to an underatedly timeless and beautiful song. Crazy how young they were when they wrote this - a talent that many could live a lifetime just to get near, and only for just one song
I met Johnny in my home town of Wakefield around 9 yrs back or so He was jamming with the cribs I was and still is a massive fan And TBH he was the most down to earth and kindest man Taught me a few good chord progressions aswell
I see the humor here, but those are sound baffles; we don't see them as much in outdoor venues but mostly indoors to prevent the drums from bleeding into other instruments at the mixing desk and then through the sound system.
An absolute beautiful song.. I fell in love more with this song after reading his book and how he it reminded him of an Irish old tune... One of my most favourite songs ever
Very few songs move me to tears and this is one of them. For having sad lyrics, and the music being angelic. Thank you Mr. Marr you are the creator of my part of my youth soundtrack.
This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I will even go as far as to say It's even better than The Smiths version or Morrissey's. he added to it even better and made it all his own. He needs to release this version! Breathtaking. I'm so happy I got to see him play this live. Fantastic!
Marr is superb at his craft, The intro to what difference does it make instantly widens my pupils and trebles my heart rate, I’m sixteen again and the world is my oyster.
Marr does a great job with the vocals. I never knew he could sing so well.
Check out his solo stuff i didnt know either until recently
i know right! he should have sang on some songs during his time in the smiths
@@illwind i honestly fucking adore his vocals on Bigmouth Strikes Again nowadays, just as much as Moz’s.
Actually he sounds like Morrissey
well... Morissey is a singer... and Johnny a guitar angel
Such a genius with a guitar...Rarely a solo..Just nuances and textural subtlety that touch the soul, without showboating. Respect to this man.
That’s a superb description
There’s not many solos his rhythm guitar is the entire song.

You are absolutely right. Marr is a guitarist and a musician.

Underrated? Are u actually fucking kidding? Hes an absolute legend and labeled as a God by NME
+Keith Lau I Wouldn't say most Americans know him? But I could be mistaken.
Johnny’s playing is so moving. His chord phrasing is unlike anyone else
Best intro, to the best live version of, one of the best songs ever, by one of the best guitarists ever ...
I find the outro is so beautiful too
I’ve watched this so many times. Hands down the best version I’ve heard. Wonderful.
You don't get Morrisey's voice here but instead you get Marr's astonishing guitar work. Put them together and you get the greatest band of all time.
daniel mcdermott dire straits & Knopfler for me
True but at least Marr can sing pretty decently.
Voobo yeah not bad
I think Johnny does a great job of singing this song
yeah, check out The Smiths mate

He can’t...but an amazing guitarist
he learned from the best

What no one can take away from Johnny Marr is he can play guitar like no other
beautiful introduction to one of his best songs.
Johnny is absolutely the most underrated guitar player ever, he makes his jag weep for us.
one of the most talented guitarists ever to grace this earth.
The way he comes across as much as I love his music. Humble and gentle soul.

This is the best version of the song I have ever heard! It would be wonderful to hear Morrissey sing to it.
Johnny just looks so... serene. This is beautiful.
One of the best versions of this song, indeed.
this song gives me a warm feeling, the rendition of it is perfect, so soft and calm

My god, the delicacy of a brain surgeon, reminds me of the first time I heard the Hatful of Hollow version of Back to the Old House.
Good boy camera man! You let us see johnny play the full intro.
No matter when, how or why this simple song can bring me to floods of tears especially when sung by maestro Johnny Marr .

Damnit, I can play this, but it will never sound like this masterpiece, no matter how many times I play it. Marr is a one of a kind.
Beautiful. Not just an amazing guitar player but a beautiful voice too, lovely
