It is difficult to articulate how good they were and how the gigs made me feel (admittedly I was in my late teens/early twenties) as it was such an important part of my life at the time (and to some degree still is).
I saw Johnny Marr at The Royal Festival Hall in early August and The Smiths songs that he played were rather predictably rapturously received. The encore of 'There Is A Light......' was marvellous, but was that just because I was subconsciously imagining that I was back at Brixton Academy in the mid 1980s, or because it is such a fantastic song? His son Nile was in the band too which definitely resonated with me as a father sons of a similar age. Very nice.
I have tried to explain to my boys but they just look at me blankly. . Like most people do.
