wow!!!!!!!!!! amazing....
According to a fanzine Smiths Indeed, it was announced on 19th during BBC Radio 1 John Peel.
I found out on 21st when I arrived Edinburgh from Dundee.
Finally proof that Gannon was way in over his head. He wasn't getting jostled into making mistakes as people have said, he just didn't know the songs too well.
waited 25 yrs to see this ,nice Moz B.D present-ty
My goodness - we might of passed each other without knowing!
And there was me moaning in the bootlegs section
I think, besides his possible homelife scandal, Mr. Peel could not have been a better advocate.
So it was as I remember - short notice. I will forgive any musician a bum note in that case.
I drove there in a clapped out morris marina (battle bus!) and found Wolverhampton grey but the atmosphere....lord...
It almost topped me meeting (what old people used to call stalking!) him in Bath.
If anyone in the queue was offered an 'Ask' cassette single for sale - it was me! Wanted beer and petrol money and knew I'd sell it as it was rare.
My friend probably sold a few of u a tshirt also.
Used to sell them out the back of the NME and they were better quality than anything I've seen since.
We both then smuggled a sony walkman pro and mic down our cod pieces to get through the rather overzealous searches.
One of the recordings came from here and was on vinyl a couple of days later.
I'm glad we didn't know people were kicking off outside as I would of worried about my car - luckily Moz fans don't riot too hard and there was no evidence of disgruntled fans on exit.
Really doesn't seem all that long ago.
Look at me reminiscing...

Sorry for the war story.....
Bought my first smiths indeed fanzine outside the venue. My mom bought me and my brother some food down.
It was a freezing night , very cold. I remember when the doors were finally opened , the push and the crush was incredible.
Met some nice people and who remembers the support group? , it was Bradford and they were shite.
Great great memories.

Sounds bloody great. You came from America to see this gig in particular? Watching this video...there's so many stage invasions! It's unreal. Gannon's guitar leads falling out.
I bet the smug people who would never give us this video are now crying in bitterness that the real fans have it in their collections too mwhahaha
