Our Take

Ah, The Smiths - the band that made melancholy cool before it was even a thing. And Live at Rockpalast Markthalle in Hamburg May 4, 1984, captures them at their brooding best.

From the moment Morrissey saunters on stage with his trademark quiff and gladioli, you know you're in for a night of existential musings and jangly guitar riffs. And boy, do they deliver.

Johnny Marr's guitar work is nothing short of sublime, weaving in and out of Morrissey's crooning vocals like a musical tapestry. And let's not forget Andy Rourke's bass lines and Mike Joyce's drumming, keeping the rhythm tight and cohesive.

Highlights from the set include the haunting "This Charming Man", the anthemic "How Soon Is Now?", and the heartbreaking "I Know It's Over". Each song is delivered with the perfect amount of angst and introspection that only The Smiths can pull off.

But what really sets this live album apart is the energy and chemistry between the band members. It's like watching a group of misfit poets pour their hearts out on stage, and you can't help but be mesmerised by their raw, unapologetic emotion.

So, if you're in the mood for some nostalgic 80s vibes and a healthy dose of existential crisis, The Smiths' Live at Rockpalast Markthalle in Hamburg May 4, 1984 is the perfect soundtrack. Just make sure you have a box of tissues handy - you're going to need them.
