Here’s what Morrissey had to say recently about this very gig: "Maxwell Hall was the end of the 'heavy petal' aspect of live Smiths. The level of determination from the audience was hysterical and life-changing … suddenly they were a comic-strip photomontage of bare-chested lads of immovable strength … each an out-stretched grab of rough kindness - loudly singing sand-paper voices and square chins, and all of a sudden I'm the Fabian of the slums. In fact, not an audience at all, but a gathering of wrestlers still chewing on yesterday's Hubba Bubba. They look as if someone is out to get them … and they are right! Everything happened so quickly in 1986. Ten years earlier I had seen three Sex Pistols gigs in Manchester, and they were fantastically agitated whereas this night in Salford is a glory celebration. 'Panic' would be released at 9:AM the next day; number 11 by the following weekend; no airplay of course because Smiths songs described the way people actually lived, which then, as now, wasn't ever the point of daytime radio. 'Panic' had been muttered about as being "waaaacist" by the people who shout out insults for a living (they never die! God help us!) … it was an accusation not dependent on any evidence, as usual. It was the opening song, and the blaze of the crowd tells you how this moment - how YOU - are in the "now" of everything. When we are afraid we want to be controlled, but this audience were not afraid and will never be controlled. The music is a fighter jet of guitar, of military crossfire drumming, of bass full of manhoods fire yet played with nobility - no crass New Romantic slow dance bass jerks … as they all did in those days. And then there was me, of course, in gleeful rage, suddenly bare-chested at the lip of the stage; demented - but why not? You only live twice, and I was here because I was no good doing anything else. You must take charge of your life! Everything we had done as a band had moved us forward to this very point, and Maxwell Hall was important because we had seen enough of the outside world to now cherish our own backyard. The venue had the creak of old ward doors, and the rooms had that strange smell of stale bark. Rough Trade workforce walked around the venue like itching activists ready to light the touch paper. They all know how to smoke and how to use the right words. These are the days when everyone still travels up north in a 'van', miles measured by Blue Boar service stations and chips with everything. Each time I'm caught in conversation I can't stop laughing. It's a Sly Stone family affair and all the WRONG people are NOT there. Everyone seems to be saying either "well, we've done it!" or "now THIS is something interesting." Scott Piering repeatedly brushes his hand across the top of his head as he takes a philosophical view, and Mike Hinc rips open his 41st Carlsberg of the night; either one, or both, will quote Kafka and somehow link it to 'Panic' - looking like characters from The L-Shaped Room. Jo Slee and Martha DeFoe are there … trailing their hands in the water. On the stage, the night started as a tornado and moves faster and faster … three encores? It was a fanaticism of discontent 200 miles away from cashpoint SW1. 'Still ill', 'Rusholme Ruffians', 'What She Said', along with the unplayed 'Miserable Lie' had developed into soaring blasts that were street-fights rather than 'musical numbers', and this is why Smiths' concerts were essentially about physical proximity. No one ever went to a Smiths concert to sit in their seats. But we would never make it into the arenas of England. Art is time bound. And so are you. Overheard: "What's so important about the Smiths?", "Well, their songs are about something," - "Oh? that's unusual, isn't it?" Sandra Gough and Jennifer Moss were in the audience? No? Oh that was just a miserable lie. The outro fades and the stragglers straggle and you run down to the safety of the town. We all scuttle home like dust mice: the secrets and the sweat remain on the hall walls forevermore. Was it really so strange? To the best of my knowledge it was a pleasure." MORRISSEY, 2024

This version of Ask is undeniable...In fact I think its the recording that kind of holds it back...some of the other live versions are sick as well.

I went to London when I was 16. Went to Sloan Square to get a haircut because of hair dresser on fire. Kissed him on stage in 1992. My boyfriend was pissed he wasn’t at the after concert. But Fuck he was my god. Thank you for a great weekend

At 36:09 is a fragment of "Rubber ring" and then, "What she said" At 47:01 is "London". At 01:04 is "The Draize train" (B-side of "Panic")

Thank you very much for the upload! This was one I had on videotape ages ago. The setlist strikes a great balance between their debut, their Hatful of Hollow tracks, and the soon to be released album Meat Is Murder. As I recall, this was the last time they played What Difference Does It Make?

I was on the guest list for this gig as i worked at the Rough Trade/Cartel distribution centre in Leamington Spa at the time - ‘Ask’ was released 5 days later and i had copies of it already of course - i pushed my way to the front and began screaming ‘ YOOTHA JOYCE’ at Morrissey😊…….(she was the cover star on the Ask single so i felt like i knew something others didn’t lol …..as it hadn’t come out at this point! After 10/11 shouts Morrissey finally gave me a puzzled look and a wry smile……..memories!

Hi I’m a university of Salford student and we are doing a documentary on Maxwell hall and one of our interviews is about this gig itself. Would it be okay to use some of this video in our project?
