Incidentally Radiohead was the winner of Best Smiths / Morrissey cover version poll 2007.

They play it better than Morrissey's band did during the Quarry tour IMO.

In 2004 Alain had to leave due to illness.
Very unfair to compare with Radiohead who are playing together almost 20 years.

I know that.

the energy of the originals trump them both

lol, saw this live on the original Thumbs Down webcast!

But yeah, I was literally wetting myself as I watched.

It's perfect.

They also did Joy Division's "Ceremony" for anyone who's interested.

I'd possibly take it over Radiohead playing Radiohead, but that's mean.

Hah! Me too. It's a good cover, among the best Morrissey-covers I've heard so far along with the Coling Meloy stuff.

Love the music, not so much the vocals. Sorry Thom.
