Johnny Marr, Wet Leg & more @ BBC 6 Music Festival | Review | Live4ever

Johnny Marr swaggers on stage clutching his trusty Jaguar Fender, looking resplendent in dark patterned satin shirt.

"Yet tonight’s headline set is far from an exercise in nostalgia, as the guitarist himself told Stuart Maconie earlier in the day: ‘I’ve got a big repertoire now. People know the new songs and there’s some old stuff I love playing.’

Marr swaggers on stage clutching his trusty Jaguar Fender, looking resplendent in dark patterned satin shirt, launching into one-off single Armatopia, warming things up before an immediate crowd-pleaser in the form of Panic. Yet, that gift aside, the first segment of the set is about 2022.

Despite its intricacies, Marr makes the neo-electric funk of Sensory Street look effortless, while the righteous Spirit Power and Soul sees him gesture both towards the crowd and to the sky.

The newer material stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the older work, which makes up the remainder of the set barring a brooding Walk Into The Sea and the poptastic Easy Money, his most successful song for some years.

The opening riff of This Charming Man is nearly drowned out by the cries of acknowledgement from the crowd, while he and his band elongate and develop Getting Away With It expertly.

It’s by no means a one-man show; despite the spotlights, Jack Mitchell veers between skins and the drum pads for the songs that have an electronic tilt accordingly, while Scott Docherty’s keys provide the texture and nuance.

However, Marr’s talent continues to reign supreme, whether he’s setting his effects pedal with his feet while singing or effortlessly strumming during Get The Message. He never does more than is necessary, but every move is devastatingly effective. Marr may not regard his voice as a key strength, but he wrenches it to add the drama that his bombastic 2015 cover of Depeche Mode’s I Feel You requires.

Arguably the most moving moment of the whole weekend arrives at the end of the main set as he dedicates There Is A Light That Never Goes Out to the ‘Foos family’; ‘We miss you, Taylor. We won’t forget you,’ which doesn’t require extra tenderness but gets it anyway.

The encore consists of a swinging Bigmouth Strikes Again and an extended How Soon Is Now?, on which Marr wigs out in his classy way, toggling his E string and adding country tones to an already astonishing piece of music.

A jewel in Marr’s crown, much like 6 Music is to the BBC."

Amazing setlist, thanks!

Moz is a pretty funny garbage, without smiths he's anything, just a simply old poor singer...

Your name is just charming

 

[Redacted]

Amazing setlist, thanks!

If there is such a thing as Marr having a good set list, its a lot better than a setlist of full of the absolute crap he just released

 

[Surface]

Amazing setlist, thanks!

Looks good, looking forward to his set at the Blondie gig at the MEN, should be a good atmosphere seeing him playing in his home town.

FFS even the spammer who went to the show, (he was here posting pepe spam suddenly said he was going to the mini gig and quit posting only to return to posting 20 min later, claiming to have been at the mini gig and watching the dumb peaky show what pap! anyways, even the spammer had to admit that by the second song everybody there at the tiny gig was) made the not so surprising observation that LePepe had put the entire contents of the tiny mini gig to .
Blondie peeps, if you will be arriving early for the gig make sure to bring your with you
then, also par for the course he made a dedication to the the dude from the foo fighters using a MOZ SONG
he has lost his sensible
we have to ask skinny when will le pepe officially change his name to Johnny Moz
what a Katastrofa this annoying Pepe

Would definitely much rather see him with Blondie instead of the Killers!

Same, Saw the Killers in their early days up in Newcastle and later headlining the V Fest, I wasn't overly impressed. Looking forward to seeing Blondie and Johnny, should be a good night.

It's odd isn't it? Whenever Marr is asked who his favourite lyricist is that he's worked with (or of all time) the answer is always someone like Isaac Brooks, Ian Curtis or whoever. It's never Morrissey. And yet it's the songs with Morrissey's lyrics that he plays the most of at his concerts (other than his own). If these other people are so great, why doesn't he treat the crowd to a song that he co-wrote by Modest Mouse or the Cribs or whoever. Why does he always choose to sing the words of Morrissey?

Maybe he will play some Modest Mouse stuff on the US tour with The Killers as We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank was a number 1 album over there and sold enough to get gold status.

Did you make a full recovery from your covid symptoms?

Did you make a full recovery from your covid symptoms?

Yes thanks, took a while though. Tested positive for 10 days and had a cough/lethargy for 4 weeks. This weeks been the first time I've had the energy to run again.

Didn't you hear? He was asked not to mention the "M" word.

 

[MaxiMozzo]

Johnny can’t sing

 

[Annoymous]

Johnny can’t sing

Of course he can sing and he can play guitar at the same time!
