The funny thing is that there actually was a bit of a identity crisis within the band. Morrissey often spoke his opinions about how to present but the band members did not always agree hahah
sorry, my bad. I bought a 4D spaceship on amazon but I started it before watching the tutorial so I made a mess... in the '80s.. you know, the fourth dimension..
Well... There are no wireless guitars. They did this whole thing because they refused to mimic a live show. It's the same reason why Morrissey refused to use a mic.
This is my favorite smiths video ever because it’s such a mess 1. The music starts before Johnny starts playing and he acts like nothing happened 2. Morrissey doesn’t even have a microphone 3. Something really funny happens at around the 2 minute mark, if you pay attention to Andy around that time you’ll see it 4. The instruments aren’t even plugged into anything 5. Johnny just altogether stops playing at the very end and starts dancing
Like the poetry of some of his lyrics, not only his voice or Johnny Marr guitar. Think he is quite a brilliant, creative character. Am reading his autobiography.
Lone Ranja Yes, there were plenty of flowers and petals. But the point of having them in his back pocket was because there wasn't mic equipment for live singing. So, he wanted to show the crowd what they were actually getting. Pretty neat if you ask me. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
@@michelleyanakis8510 I think his point is that he's no replacing the mic with flowers. He usually had flowers while singing even when he had a microphone. I agree that the fact that he didn't want to hold a mic is cool though.
@@miguelpow266 Everyone knows he sang with flowers frequently, but this show specifically is what I'm talking about. There's even information you can look up about it. Morrissey was supposed to sing live and didn't. So, that's why he did what he did in this show.
Well, they had to playback in this case, but check their live shows, they are as good as the studio stuff..... As far as I know they never failed to deliver quality live
Actually, this is not from a French TV, but from a Belgium TV. It is from a program called Generation 80 and this was meant to be broadcasted on 19 december 1983, but it never went on air. Until this post only a 1min 30 sec of the performance was made available in 2010 and now it is complete. So, many thanks to unveil this rarity from the vault!
The Smiths never became a ' monster' ,they were the band of the Eighties in Morrissey and Marr they encapsulated all the hopes and aspirations of the 80s Blank generation and they did it with a wicked sense of humour.
Blank Generation by Richard Hell and the Voidoids lol.......I loved the punk scene when I was at college in the heart of London, but also there was so much music coming out at the same time that I was spending all my pay on buying 12 inch singles and albums on vinyl. It was the best time to have been growing up, it will never be repeated as we were in a kind of bubble of no time before everything would change forever!
Its onlyreally noticeable when morrissey is just cutting about and hes meant to be singing they seem to have edited it mostly alright so u wouldnt rlly notic
I love the French presenter as I understood every word she said.... My thoughts are with Mozz at this difficult as he's just lost his Mum... A Dublin lady who settled in Manchester to give the world one of our greatest musical artists.
So very very sweet.... 💖💖💖....what a voice, what a spirit ✨.... Moz is the most outstanding artist and bestlooking man of the Universe. Every tune of Jonny Marr‘s guitar is like a sparkling perl.... I‘m crying, cause I‘m so sick that the very inspiring 80’s are.... forever..... gone.... ✨✝️✨
For anyone wondering, the woman at the beginning says something along the lines of: I have found a group invited today at generation 80. It is the group The Smiths, it is an English group and I suggest that you watch and listen to them with their second single 'This Charming Man'
why is this like mesmerizing. i clicked it just to see what morrisey looked like singing (lip singing) but i cannot stop watching is there cocaine on my screen or somfin

Wow it’s identical to the studio version and none of the guitars are plugged in nor does Morrissey have a mic. Incredible
They are just doing the sounds of the guitars with their mouths and Morrissey sing really loud
LITERALLY 😂
dissect everything ha?
@@granel8980 🤣
I think it was not allowed on TV to perform live, so they did this on purpose. 😂
All four of them look like they’re from completely different bands
I have always thought that but never realized I thought that you nailed it
Johnny looks like a middle schooler years old
The funny thing is that there actually was a bit of a identity crisis within the band. Morrissey often spoke his opinions about how to present but the band members did not always agree hahah
Talking Heads meets the Byrds. Which kind of sums up the band itself.
Omg they do
I too hate it when i'm jamming with my band in the 80s and suddenly a 4th dimensional being summons a triangular portal devouring our bass player
LMAO
@@julietcardenas9473 Me too! :)
I know, that was messed up!
sorry, my bad. I bought a 4D spaceship on amazon but I started it before watching the tutorial so I made a mess... in the '80s.. you know, the fourth dimension..
😆 Lol
Wow the guitar players can play unplugged, what legends.
And sing without microphones
Did you see how Johnny finishes off the song just dancing? Let’s see other guitar heroes do that?
Even the drums ain't even plugged in
2:09 being a bass player be like
Typical xd :(
This made me laugh more than I probably should have
his head popping out the side like really guys hahaha
lol
Haha
wireless guitars in the 80's. gotta love the 80's

The tragic life of bassists
Lmao

Poor guy.
Lmaoooo
Back in the day almost no tv stations allowed musicians to perform live on air, so many bands even went sarcastic about it, like The Smiths .
what was the problem by playing live on the air?
Jayden Kim control over censorship I’d assume
Nirvana has a funny one hahah
Sam Henderyckx that’s what I was thinking abt lmao, the one w/ teen spirit, favorite part was when Kurt swallowed the mic lol
@@photomovies much more expensive.. sound tests, rehearsals, etc.. usually the bands were there for 30 mins total
If not less
His voice was so strong he didn't need a microphone
Romero Constantini it’s bc they used the studio version so he refused to use a mic
@@jrgenfraglyptoteket8970 it wasn't a joke in the first place
Verde tenia que ser el romero 😒
Bien ahí aborto legal loco agaunte los Smiths
Did you mean, growing up as a cheap theatre kid?
they pulled a mike wazowski on the bassist
I'm on TV!!
Morrisseys voice is probably one of my favorite sounds in the entire world
Better than sex. :)
@@dariowestern fuck, that's the reason I didnt haved a girl the last year
Yes until his voice is saying racist things then it’s my least favorite lmaoo
Like the poetry of some of his lyrics, not only his voice or Johnny Marr guitar. Think he is quite a brilliant, creative character. Am reading his autobiography.
Shame he's a wanker
I literally just liked this because he has flowers instead of a mic. Quality rebellion. Showing the people what they're actually getting.
Michelle Yanakis and he had flowers in the video...sooo

In the darkest time of my life, Morrissey was my best friend.
woooh boy u know what he did right?
@@bigslamma I do not. What did he do?
@@thomasrevere7916 he’s said a lot of stuff - there’s a difference between morrissey the singer and morrissey the human
@@thomasrevere7916 search it up, his voice may be beautiful but himself as a person is horrible.
@@koalafications8182 You can either tell me or not. I don't really care that much.
Wow, being in The Smiths sucked if you weren't Morrissey or Johnny Marr. They covered up the bassist with that triangle.
Some reasons that's really f****** funny they just f****** dropped a triangle on Andy rourke's f****** .>>> how rude who does that s***
jim smith lol why even throw all the cuss words in there if u censor them? doesn’t that take longer to type
cause he’s bassist
@@beingexemplary06 I respect he censored the words. I’m not in the mood for cursing.
Fuckers dropped a triangle on my bassist. Can't have shit in Detroit
0:15 guitar started playing before the dude even got to strum it
I Don't Know What To Name This Account, Please Bear With Me
“Oh shit” was his exact thoughts when the backing track started playing
KKSKAJKJKSJAJA
Well, they had to playback in this case, but check their live shows, they are as good as the studio stuff..... As far as I know they never failed to deliver quality live
I Don't Know What To Name This Account, Please Bear With Me The producer made them use a backing track, that's why Morrisey refused to use a mic
And Morrisey sings without a mic
Omg how beautiful is Morrissey in this video!
2:52 Johnny keep the guitar sound with his dancing... Magic!
Budget: bouquet of flowers

Bagget of flowers
he’s insanely beautiful
nancy boy wtf
nancy boy they all are
uhh

cette voie de Morrissey me fait à chaque fois frissonner
They're so damn unique. I don't know anybody could not absolutely love this song, this performance, this album, and just about all of their music.
listen to this hidden gem song called miss me by the impures
is really goood :)
@@likeweuse27checked the track out based on your suggestion. Like it, cheers mate 👍🏻

The quiff looking particularly magnificent here. What a band, untouchable.
Ah yes, the magnificent quiff
This charming quiff
When does it look anything but?
Omg Morrissey was so handsome there, it shock me.
You'll forever be young in my mind, Morrissey.
Johnny Marr is such a beautiful creature
So obvious Johnny Marr is coming from that traditional rock background... looks like a Beatle and a Ramone put together
Noticed the hairstyle as well
今聴いても、とても良い曲ですね
アンディ マーのギターも最高🎸
He is soo flamboyant !
Greatest performance of MORRISSEY
listen to this hidden gem song called miss me by the impures
is really goood :)v
I could cry of emotion just listening to this band.
Morrissey looks like an angel, so beautiful
Morrissey, the man who made tv performances look like official music videos!
his voice makes me feel things
2:04 I seriously thought Andy Rourke was going to be struck by that triangle from above.
When he tilted his head away from it, I was like how did he know it was coming down
I thought the smiths were going to the Phantom Zone from superman 2
@@israel24961 it's because they lowered a big green or blue triangle in front of him and chromakeyed it.
that lil dance Johnny did at the end when he let go of his guitar and he and Moz matched
Their outfits are amazing. Especially Johnny Marr's. He looks on point man
Jesus! I never realised how beautiful is 😍
this video makes me unexplainably happy
Johnny Marr is just awesome.
they are all so handsome
I love his outfit
i love that johnny misses his cue at the beginning
"Oh shit--"
gordon and his dance at the end while he’s still meant to be playing is great haha
Yeah well a musical genius isn't that good at being fake
I like how they didn't even have them record it again to make it seem live. Like this is literally the official audio tf
Used to do this on a lot of shows back then. Top of the Pops was never live either
@@ufoash440 on top of the pops the singers did actually sing, just all the instruments were muted and they sung to a backing track
Its onlyreally noticeable when morrissey is just cutting about and hes meant to be singing they seem to have edited it mostly alright so u wouldnt rlly notic
I've always loved Morrissey & The Smiths! Oh how I wish I could have run my fingers through that charming man's hair
Completely original and brillant.

Self care is listening to the Smiths on a Sunday afternoon alone in your room dancing like Morriessy.
What a voice, it's like he doesn't even need a mic! WOW

Everyone is complaining but the microphone is in the bouquet of flowers, and the guitars run on batteries and have their own speaker.

They were incredibly eccentric and Morrissey was THE MOST ECCENTRIC of them all.
The best there ever was
He was the cutest thing
