It basically Was a Track that Should have been on the 1st : Smiths "" album , That Absolute Haunting Meloncholic , Hopeless Romantic sound , that No band have ever captured since !!! A True MASTERPIECE From Morissey & Marr !!!! ❤❤❤❤

That very last note he sings 3:04 going through the last two open chords is just wonderful. I heard this song for the first time a week ago. Listened to it tons of times. Learnt it on guitar and now realizing that some notes Morrisey is singing are quite dissonant in order to make melodies and harmony more complex, makes me value this band each time more.. He had a really peculiar, unusual sense of music such as Marr sense of rhythm. So melancholic and gloomy. Just love it

So glad someone has this. Wonderful Woman was the first smiths track I ever had (taped from the radio 1 Kid Jensen session - aired just before this gig and the best version for my money). By the time I got to see them for the first time (oct 83), they had dropped it from the set - and never played it again live (to my knowledge). It was always a hope, but the 17 times I saw them the buggers never once played it! I was always gutted. But so good to see this gig and this song here. Priceless!

Let's talk about why I love love love this song. First things first, the chords. There is so much flitting between sixth chords and fifth chords in the intro, creating a sense of joy and heating up to me, conflicting with the emotionally cooler minor chord. whenever I hear this song, I picture two people in bed together, kind of sheltered from the world, so that's why I enjoy the bursts of major chords throughout this minor key songs that act like pockets of energy. now lets talk about that chorus that absolutely intoxicates me on a good day. it's just melancholic moaning sounds really. again, the flitting between minor and major chords. makes it sound like something on life is coming together despite a sense of melancholy in the world around

andy wrote ALL the bass lines, the whole "writing rights" thing is based on the fact that legally the smiths were defined as "morrissey/marr" in the contracts and all the songs were credited that way (plus marr and moz wrote songs together as a duo for almost a year prior to the band forming), but andy and mike wrote their parts. Morrissey and Marr both have credited andy in later interviews saying that his bass playing sealed their success.

This is absolutely brilliant. To be playing this great, folk-style, sorrowful sound in the Hacienda of all places--the stomping ground of New Order and the rave scene. New Order's "Blue Monday" was an enormous hit in 1982-1983, the dance anthem of Manchester arguably. It is so fantastic to see The Smiths opting to do something so entirely different, and so beautiful! I wish this song had had a wider release. Thanks for posting gem!!

Andy's treble stabs were always timed just right, as opposed to the more traditional bass lines we hear from songs like Rusholme Ruffians he also shared this ability. My favorite bass player for sure. Once I wrote to him around 2009 or so online. He told me to have fun playing the bass and walking my golden retriever. I can't believe he's gone, Heaven knows I'm miserable now was the song that really made me want to learn how to play his instrument. I play a lot of Smiths songs on guitar from youtube guitar lessons, best band

There is less art, more matter in what Morrissey says. That's why they jerked the volume up 50 % compared to other bands. It's like he's reading his diary out loud, put to the most beautiful music imaginable. Even if you can't relate to everything Moz has experienced, like all great art you still enjoy listening to it. Just the heartfeltness of his voice is enough. However, it doesn't hurt that most things he sings about are clear and easy to grasp.

I think you're right about the Ritz. The first gig at the Hacienda was December 82 (this July 83 gig was the second one there). The 82 gig featured the version of Handsome Devil that's the B-side of Hand in Glove. They also played "What do you see in him?" at that gig which is the first version of Wonderful Woman. I have a mixing desk copy of the gig. They were very raw back then - but still excellent!

That 'mixing desk copy' is called Handsome Devils. It was their third performance ever. Indeed very good, but they were playing very low (and because of that Morrissey sounds a bit frightening), I think Marr didn't tuned his guitar up already at that gig. Also I think it is in What Difference Does It Make, there is a second voice next to Moz', I think it's Marr (it sounds awful). That LP/Bootleg is some great time-document.
