The Smiths

In this poignant live performance of "I Know It's Over" recorded on October 23, 1986, The Smiths were at a pivotal point in their career. Just a month prior, they released their acclaimed album "The Queen Is Dead," which is often heralded as one of the greatest albums of all time. This concert, held at the Kilburn National Club, came during a time when the band was both critically adored and facing internal tensions. Fun little tidbit: despite their impending breakup just a few months after this show, the electricity of their live performances echoed the raw emotion and angst that defined their music. The live album that followed, released in September 1988, came out just over a year after their split, serving as a bittersweet reminder of what was, and what could have been. Watching this live recording offers fans a glimpse into the band's captivating energy and Morrissey's magnetic presence on stage.
