One of the most original and best to do it. I hope he gets to rest in Southern cemetery so I can pay my respects after walking through the Cemetry gates.
@@paolo-n2000 yes, the last televised performance, although I believe they may have played in Italy shortly afterwards, but by mid '87 it was all over. Quite sad, the way it all panned out.
The vibes here are completely different as they are for all of the members now... Surely it coud by abnormal means happen, but it wouldn't definitely be the same. One must smile because it happened, and it happened so good
I saw them as a smitten teenager at Royal Albert Hall on the Meat is Murder tour. Thought it was epic, but it's referred to as a disaster ! Take it from me, it was amazing. They just chucked in "How Soon is Now ?" as their opener, then finished with "Meat is Murder" walking off one by one to leave just Johnny Marr riffing the outro. Oh, and Pete Burns was guest vocalist on Barbarism. Oh, and James were the support act having only released 1 EP. I thought it was good !
Its never going to happen as Morrissey won't share the stage with the drummer Mike Joyce due to the court case in which the latter was awarded a million pounds
Moz should play "Sheila Take A Bow" in concert...now that he is/has been playing some of The Smiths material...this should DEFINITELY be on a setlist again at some point. Morrissey...PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE.
The greatest band on the planet between 1982 & 1987 the Smiths. Don't think I would ever like band to get back together & be a shadow of former selves. On the side of Johnny Marr there.
*1983-1987 yes. But not 1982, they hadn’t released a single yett and one had only gig that year, not really “greatest band on the planet” level in 82 lol

This comment deserves more likes. I would also like to add that I would have told them to take a break and sort things out. Divide the money 30/30/20/20. Because the four of them together were absolute perfection.
A friend of mine was in London 1986 for holidays. And he stood in front of the Palladium when the Smiths were to play there. He had no ticket. And the black market prices for tickets were too high for him. And weeks later they did their last concert together...what a chance to fail!! Ok, we then saw Morrissey on his first german tour 1991 three times. But a whole live gig by the legendary four is unpayable..
@@Rattleheadx86 Morrissey just ain't the same person anymore, maybe he should look at these videos, and remind himself of what a nice cool dude he once was
Yes. After this performance in April 1987 there was just one final recording session (in Streatham, London in May 1987) which resulted in their final recordings Work is a Four-Letter Word, I Keep Mine Hidden and a partly-erased cover of Elvis's A Fool Such As I. They would never play together again.
Its my daughters BDay tody, this isnt her stlye of music but reminds me of the time i went over to hers and she was trying to find some where to hide the policeman's hat shed come home with on a night out because she was expecting a visit about the dog of questionable breeding.
Hmm....not sure if its so much "threadbare" as maybe its that these songs at this point were harder to duplicate live...due to the amount of studio clutter and overdubs they were doing at this point. Though yes...3 years previous...their sound was a lot more raw and easier to play live.
@@misterteaification These songs in particular are just much more obvious by the numbers singalongs and lack the wit and joy of their earlier music. Panic and Ask were OK, but listen to these vs"Hatful of Hollow", also made up of singles and b-sides like "William", when they were bursting with creativity and the comparison is stark.
*why and HOW is this song regarded as a 'tip-of-the-hat' to Led Zeppelin in any way?* *Had the critic who said that even know or HEAR a Led Zeppelin song before the comment?* *Any similarity to Led Zeppelin is PURELY in the overt 'Rock God' posturing of the singer imitating Robert Plant*
The Smiths are the best band since The Beatles. This is indisputable fact.
Agreed.
Yeah, alright.
Beatles was a boyband.
I think suede have surpassed the smiths now.
Agreed. But The Beach Boys are still unparalleled 🤫
3:26 - Johnny nods to a roadie to get the dancers off the bloody stage. And they are subsequently whisked away. lol. ;)
RIP Andy Rourke, underrated bass player
One of the most original and best to do it.
I hope he gets to rest in Southern cemetery so I can pay my respects after walking through the Cemetry gates.
I was bored before I even began!! love this lyric
Typical for every Gemini
Their final public performance altogether. Unexpected and sad. They'll never reunite, but hey, their legacy is eternal!
really...this is the last performance???

@@satiricalhaz-homeofbanter4371 Let's just say their last public performance altogether.
If only I could see them perform live in person, just once

They came to my town ONCE in 1986 and it sold out quickly. I missed out and I've been regretting it ever since
They were great live, saw them as a 14 year old in Manchester. Promoting The Queen is Dead, sounded just like the recording.

Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, and Joyce made great music together for a short period of time. The Smiths will live on forever.
Super grateful to be able to access their live shows as well. Just unreal, sooo glad people knew to record them and stuff
The Smiths became a much better band when Craig Gannon joined ...
@@breas2746 dont be silly ,maybe live it helped having an extra guitar player but he offered very little to the band
Only live performance of Sheila
and how adorable it is!
I wore a Sheila t shirt at Moz wolves 88 :)
Johnny and Morrissey are matching earrings here!
Matrix I know, that's just so beautiful. They just had a precious friendship.
That Johnny Marr solo is incredible last performance and they go out with a blast
Shame they only got to do 2 songs, the tube was going downhill towards the end its run in 1987.
@@philjamesakaowlman6230 too much bollocks on the Tube for sure, but now and again some real gems like this

Dame Edna, a push and it's over.
That 12 string sounds so good. Flawless
Johnny plays it in the video for his (fairly) recent single 'Hi, Hello', which is a killer track.

Incredible voice!
This was a good performance, very well by the smiths
Marrs guitars and Bernard Butler bought me here 😍😎
This one & "how soon is now" are my favorites. They even sound good live and from the 80s.

Maybe tell Moz and Johnny to take couples therapy

Marr is playing a 12 string; you don’t see that too much.

Wish the sound was louder on this 😢😢😢😢😢
To me its ritual to watch this after their first recorded performance at the hacienda

Smith's are kinda like post modern Kinks
Give some credit to Andy and Mike on "Sheila..." They make the song.
As they do with some other Smiths songs.
Great bass player. 👍
He's the only person I've seen wear his own band tshirts 💙💚💛
Really? It happens a lot more often than you think.
Ian Mosley, super cool Marillion drummer !
Then maybe he's the first
Bono wore the 'U2 War Tour' T Shirt in 1983.
And John Taylor wore Duran Duran T-Shirts in the 1980s.
This had to have been their last live performance right?
ROBERT DEAN but that Brixton show was in December of 86, and this is April of 87?
but when was this performance recorded?
This was around Easter '87, remember buying Sheila take a bow on 12" and the accompanying T-shirt as worn by Morrissey and Mike Joyce.
EXACTLY! That's what I thought. Robert Dean didn't seem to understand my question.
Yes, just prior to taking my 'O'-levels, showing my age now! Shoplifters was out around January/February time of the same year.
SHEILA TAKE A BACON........
left decades of music unrealized...what a waste
That's not how it works.
Wtf u on about
Hand it over...
Nice one "shop" lifters 😉
Johnny SHREDS!

Most of the boys in the adience were gay and didn't even know it yet.
Compared to the Tube show of just 3 years previously shows how desperately threadbare was their later music - right time to split.

no.
They had just released Strangeways Here we come. Am album littered with incredible songs
"Threadbare" in what sense? The 'rockabilly' songs have a sparer arrangement, but a spare arrangement suits some songs.
