Album Notes & Community Reviews

This live album was recorded in Paris during the tour for his critically acclaimed album, 'Your Arsenal'. 'Beethoven Was Deaf' perfectly captures the raw, powerful, and rockabilly-infused energy of his touring band at the time, featuring guitarists Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer. The setlist is a potent mix of tracks from the new album and beloved Smiths classics, making for an essential document of Morrissey at his live peak.
