The Smiths – Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others
Brixton Academy
London, England
December 12, 1986
As a guitar player, there are other guitarists out there that inspire me and then there’s guitarists that are so good that I think I should just hang it up. Johnny Marr is in the latter category. Watching him play “Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others” with such ease and without making a mistake is almost infuriating. This was the first time and the last time that The Smiths played the song live. After this Brixton Academy show they made a few television appearances, but never performed together as The Smiths again.

Yeah, “This Charming Man” quite possibly might have the catchiest riff ever written. He makes it seem to easy.
