The release of the superb professional shots from the debut album "THE SMITHS" era has been decided. This work contains "May 4, 1984 Hamburg performance". It is a classic multi-camera professional shot broadcast on West Germany's proud music program "ROCKPALAST". The quality is completely official without question. "ROCKPALAST" is a famous program that has produced super masterpiece professional shots of many bands / artists along with BBC. Depending on the band, it is often actually made official, but this work is a special class among them. Not only is it a professional shot, but the camera work and mix that deeply understands music are also very professional, and it is on a different level from ordinary music programs. Moreover, the master freshness of this work is also wonderful. Of course, it will be shot in analog due to the era, but it is more than beautiful even in the present day of digital greatness. There are no dubbing marks or analog deterioration, and the vivid coloring jumps over 30 years and reflects "1984" as it is. What's even more wonderful is the sound. Not only one word of the gloomy lyrics that Morrissey sang as if he was mumbling, but even one syllable is clear, and Johnny Marr's guitar also has a pleasant tone of irregular tuning. The video itself is of official quality, but the audio alone is enough to be released as an official live album. The young THE SMITHS, who were shaking the times, are depicted with such quality. This show was held about two and a half months after the release of "THE SMITHS", and the set mainly consisted of six songs from "THE SMITHS" and "HATFUL OF HOLLOW". They also performed "Crack On The Head", which will be included in "MEAT IS MURDER" as "Barbarism Begins At Home". Speaking of THE SMITHS's standard pro shots, the 1983 Derby performance is also famous, but this work is longer, and repertoires such as "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now", "Girl Afraid", and "Crack On The Head" cannot be seen there. Perhaps because their live repertoire was lacking, the encore saw them repeat "This Charming Man," "Hand In Glove," and "Crack On The Head," which they had already performed once, but everything they could play on stage at that time was poured into it. This work is amazing because it's not just a delicious set. You can enjoy Morrissey's mysterious actions throughout the entire film, but the truly must-see is the end. Around the time of the second "This Charming Man," excited fans tried to get on the stage, but were held back by the staff, and during the performance, fans in the front row violently grabbed flowers and shook them around. When Morrissey reached out his hand to shake hands lightly, he was pulled back so hard that his singing became a mess... Even when the band retreated, the audience's enthusiasm did not subside, and the members returned to the dressing room with expressions such as "There are no more songs to play." Morrissey pointed at the monitor showing the still-uncontained venue and smiled happily... Their popularity and atmosphere at that time are depicted in the finest professional shots. THE SMITHS, who have just started running. Its crystallization. It is nice to see their youthful appearance in the finest professional shots, but it is a masterpiece that blows out even more atmosphere. It is a superb masterpiece that can be said to be of the same value as the official albums "THE SMITHS" and "HATFUL OF HOLLOW". Live at Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany 4th May 1984 PRO-SHOT 1. Intro 2.
