The Smiths

In this electrifying performance captured on December 12, 1986, at Brixton Academy, The Smiths deliver a rare live rendition of "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others." This track originally appeared on their 1986 album, "Strangeways, Here We Come," which was their final studio release before disbanding. By this point, the band had established themselves as pioneers of alternative rock, blending melancholic yet catchy melodies with poignant lyrics. Interestingly, the live recording not only highlights the band's distinctive sound but also marks a significant moment, as it features the song performed live just once—a testament to the uniqueness of their shows. The chemistry between Morrissey’s lyrical storytelling and Johnny Marr’s intricate guitar work resonates throughout, leaving fans with memories of a defining era in music.
