It's nice to see Craig. I always felt bad for him.

My God do they sound awesome. I've always felt "Ask" was one of the major gems in the Smiths catalog, not sure why it doesn't quite seem to get that status amongst most fans.

Notice they used footage from two shows. I wonder if any entire shows from these cameras will ever be released?

it's been around for this promo, I've had it on DVD since about 2000. It's like a lot of stuff that seems to be surfacing after so very long and it's nice to see it all becoming available now.

Just an FYI: the footage of Moz in white denim / sunglasses is clearly staged, shot for a promo. Not actual concert footage. Probably shot for a proposed "Ask" promo. Good stuff, but staged, not live.

San Remo festival?

The Smiths did it 2 year at the time, this could be the 1986, I believe Morrissey wore there white denim

This was shown on Canada's Muchmusic videochannel in the early 90's on their Muchmusic "Spotlight" programme. Each night at 6pm (if memory serves) they'd feature videos interspersed with interview footage. I've had this on a very, very poorly recorded VHS tape for about 20 years. Didn't realize this would be new for anyone else.

How about that opening clip of TCM? Is there a video of that performance in it's entirety? That looks 10 times more interesting to me. Anyone have a link? Please!!

I'm a bit surprised you haven't seen it before because if you search for The Smiths Ask on youtube it shows up as the 7th result and was first posted........three years ago

The TCM, This Charming Man video in the intro is what I'm talking about. Is there a copy of that in it's entirety? THAT would be fantastic!
