Johnny Marr will reflect on his touring since the release of ‘Playland‘ last year on the new live album ‘Adrenalin Baby’.
It’ll be released on October 9th, primarily featuring tracks recorded at the Brixton Academy in London and the Manchester Apollo. These include various cuts from the aforementioned ‘Playland’ and its predecessor ‘The Messenger‘, as well select Smiths favourites such as ‘The Headmaster Ritual’ and ‘How Soon Is Now?’, and a cover of The Clash’s ‘I Fought The Law’.
We caught Marr on the relevant tour cycle when he played the Leeds O2 Academy back in November 2014 – our review concluded:
“Like Gloria Gaynor, he knew he would survive, and nights like this are testimony to how much breaking up can cause one party to come out stronger and more dignified than the other.”
“Now free to do whatever he wants on his own terms, Johnny Marr will be sending postcards to his ex for many more years to come.”
