I've seen The Smiths Indeed before in Manchester and thoroughly enjoyed their show - when I saw that they were playing in Manchester again I snapped up a ticket. I'm not old enough to have ever seen the original band but as a massive Smiths fan I think The Smiths Indeed are a great way of hearing Smiths songs played live. Theres a great mix of tracks with crowd favourites such as This Charming Man and There Is A Light interspersed with more obscure songs like Jeane and Stretch Out and Wait. The frontman has a great voice which is almost as good as Moz himself, and he dresses like Morrissey circa 1983 - we were even treated to a few costume changes!! With plenty of chrysanthemums and gladioli flying about the gig had a great atmosphere, with the Ritz as a fitting venue for the 30th anniversary of the Smith's very first gig on the same stage. Would go see them again!
