That (above post) was a few months before seeing what must have been the greatest (and wettest) Reading Festival lineup ever!
Happy days/daze - that’s me in the Rollins shirt.

@Nocturama I saw them here in the states on that tour as well. Hard to believe they’re still going strong. Hard to believe I’m still going strong.

When the camera man starts turning around (at 03:00 min), he had my full attention in tune one….beautiful!

[Matt]

@Nocturama those photos are awesome. That Sunday line up is something else. I’ve seen most, if not all of those bands. I’m wearing my Pavement shirt today.

The first Smith has passed. RIP Andy Rourke. This is pretty sad music news for me.

[IH-GARY]

Heartbreaking news for sure @Matt

I picked up the debut Smiths album not long after it’s release. It made a big impression on me, but shortly after, my cousin shared a live bootleg tape with me that featured the song Barbarism Begins At Home.
This one song amazed me and lead to a life long obsession with the band. I would constantly listen & rewind the track over & over - Andy’s bass line was hypnotic. To this day the funkier Smiths tunes are always my favorites.

Later in life I was able to purchase the bass from Andy that he used for the album recording of BBAH.

RIP Andy Rourke.
