I’m guilty of some of the crowd noise, I couldn’t help but sing along lol. He really is one of the greats though. And he actually used a different guitar for every song in his set—here’s some of his acoustic rendition of “please please let me get what I want” with a much quieter crowd

I didn’t expect to be so star struck by Johnny Marr at CBGB Fest yesterday.
