Concert details copied from passionsjustlikemine.com
This was a free concert supported by the Madrid Townhall on the occasion of (the patron saint of Madrid) Saint Isidro's bank holiday. The socialist party was very interested in pop music and wanted to give a boost to a city that was culturally dead after 40 years of dictatorship. The Spanish were very welcoming and the concert was a success. Morrissey was also very energetic, he danced wildly but wasn't very talkative.
As in Barcelona two days earlier the Smiths played a 18 track setlist including the almost forgotten "This Charming Man" and the occasionally skipped "Barbarism Begins At Home", but not the lesser known "Stretch Out And Wait".
Morrissey introduced the current single "Shakespeare's Sister" as such: "This is our new single, it's called 'Shakespeare's Sister'." Similarly, "Hand In Glove" was introduced with the simple "This song is called 'Hand In Glove'." During "Still Ill" Morrissey fell to the floor and writhed like a dying animal. The most memorable quote of the evening was the introduction of "Meat Is Murder": "We have seen your national sport... and it's not very kind..." Besides that, Morrissey's banter consisted mostly of hello's and thank you's, as in "Thank you, you're very kind... thank you" after "Handsome Devil" and "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now".
When the Smiths returned to the stage for the third encore Morrissey told the audience "Thank you, we're very happy, thank you." During the ending of "Barbarism Begins At Home" Morrissey slowly removed his shirt while dancing, swung it around, and threw it into the audience. After "You've Got Everything Now" he simply said "Goodbye! We love you... thank you... goodbye... thank you..." and the band left stage a final time.
The complete concert was recorded and broadcast on Spanish television programme Edad De Oro. This was repeated in digital in 2006.

Es curioso cómo este concierto es tan desconocido en KZbin

[@janismorrissey]

Johnny literalmente es una de las personas que más admiro en este planeta pero honestamente en esta entrevista si se paso.

El 18 de mayo de 1985, hace ya más de 38 anos, yo tenía 19 años, y vi este concierto por TVE.

[@Chris-jq1qb]

They really are the best band ever 😭

[@Morbidtrail]

To be there wouldve been a dream. The greatest band of all time.

God Bless Andy Rourke

[@klefusmcdonald2644]

Durante la entrevista, se nota que si se respeta a Marr, Rourke, and Joyce, pero A Morrisey se le otorgaba un tipo de reverencia otorgada a gente de prestigio. La mayoria de la entrevista se le pedia a Morrisey que hablase por su cuenta y la de los smiths. Entiendo si Marr se hubiera sentido menospreciado o faltado respeto durante su trayectoria con The Smiths, pero tambien entiendo que Morrisey es unos de esos artistas que transcenden su arte e oficio. Para mi, Los dos son leyendas, pero Morrisey transende la musica, y habita en el reino de culture popular.

Morrissey friendzoned. Hahaha

maravilloso

[@carlosalcarazlopez6736]

No mames eran compás pero el morrisey es bien honesto pero mamón. O sea se respetan y eran buenos compás.

[@garridocarlos98]

En ese momento parecían llevarse muy bien, nunca sabremos qué pasó realmente entre ellos

[@juanjoseoterolourido5674]

un milagro

[@daviddelgado3807]

Caña moruna, expresión coloquial, vamos que igual a Morrissey

[@rosshole]

AMAZING quality, audio & visually! Reading the notes... Jerry Garcia almost never spoke to the audience .. Bob Weir would always say: "We'll be back in a little bit," at set break.😂 (~);}

THANK YOU, The Smiths Archive! 🙌
