I’ve just found this, I was at this gig, aged 15, I feel emotional.

[@seanpower7232]

Yes me too. The Meat is Murder tour. I went with a girl called Sue who I'd met on a National Express bus shortly before. How 80s is that? It was pretty much our first date I think. A little known James supported them, Morrissey dancing at the side of the stage while they played. When The Smiths were on I'd never seen such hysteria before - it felt llike how The Beatles/Stones must have been for a previous generation They were incredible, I saw them nany times since, and they remain for me the last great rock band. Utterly unique, beautiful and quintessentially Mancunian.

Fckn dope, I've sadly been born 17 years after it 🙃

[@graffikamanda6458]

@@seanpower7232 What a brilliant first date. I will never forget this gig. James supporting, I remember Tim Booth's mad dancing ! I also remember the floor after the gig being littered with trampled Gladioli flowers. It gives me goosebumps listening to the Prokofiev intro. Do you remember they shone a huge search light over the crowd as it played? I was still at school and I bunked off an English lesson to get to the ticket office at The Apollo. Glad I did now, even though I was summoned to the Headmaster, the next day.

No @%$& shit, this is amazing i love it!

[@TheSmithsLiveOfficial]

Just to address the mixture of bootleg sources in this upload, this upload is a mixture of the BBC broadcast and the Soundsville Steve bootleg, with as much of the accurate BBC content included as possible, the three missing songs and pre-set music added from the Soundsville bootleg, and the BBC version of You've Got Everything Now replaced with the Soundsville version as this version is the one which was actually played at this show, while the BBC one was taken from another show entirely. Hope everyone enjoys :)

[@NeilBarrettSLT]

The BBC audio here is some of the tastiest Smiths live audio I've ever heard. Thanks for your excellent uploads :)
