The Smiths were very well received by a very energetic audience as was always the case in Manchester. The set was shortened by the deletion of "Hand In Glove".

After set opener "Hand In Glove" Morrissey let out a loud "Hello!" before going into the following number. Shortly after, "Pretty Girls Make Graves" was introduced with the words "This is the lesson for everybody, sad but true". Then "Still Ill" was introduced in its turn as "A song about the best of predicaments". Before "Barbarism Begins At Home", Morrissey said "Alright let's face it... this is something that we all know about... barbarism begins at home!... which is true...". Then the mellow "Back To The Old House" was dedicated "...for all the usual dribblers".

Sandie Shaw joined the Smiths on stage as she had done the night before in London to perform "I Don't Owe You Anything". After her performance, the crowd engaged in a chant of "Sandie Shaw! Sandie Shaw! Sandie Shaw!", but they were shushed by Morrissey when he returned to the stage after that to perform "Reel Around The Fountain". After "Handsome Devil", Morrissey asked the audience "What should we do?" before going into the planned set closer "These Things Take Time"
