Yeah 2 years ago Morrissey did this Charming Man live for the first time in years many many years...
What was your reaction?

My reaction was, 'Hmm, well, this is something to think about now, but a thread about it two years on will probably be irrelevant.'
I was unbelievably excited when I heard he'd started playing it.
Then I heard it and was excited no more.
I know he probably wants to 'update' it or whatever but jeez, dropping the frikkin riff - one of the most exciting riffs and opening few seconds of any song ever - and replacing it with fat lumbering blustery guitar chords just ruined it.
Just imagine...you didn't know or even think for one second he'd play TCM...then all of a sudden THAT riff starts up - f***, you'd lose your minds! It would've been amazing.
But nope, just made it sound like something off YoR. Sigh.

"Irrelevant" to what, exactly? "Irrelevant" when you consider all the new things Morrissey has been doing lately that we could discuss instead? It's a good discussion point, IMO.

Welcome to the forum Mozzersmandan!my thoughts exactly.
Irrelevant because it was discussed ad nauseam when it happened -- people bitching and moaning about the missing Marr lead, how Jesse and co. 'butchered' it. This is not exactly one of those things you can bring up new points on years later, as if it were a studio album or something like that. He did it, he obviously had no problem with the way it was done because he KEPT doing it, people had their opinions on it. Seems like the pace of his entire career to me. Nothing new to see here. Maybe there's not a lot new to discuss, but that doesn't mean we get desperate for conversation.
