Hello
A friend of mine, working at the (main) national TV station passed me this link today where an excerpt from a Smiths performance & interview was shown back in 1983 or 1984 on a show called 'Generation 80'.
I had never seen it before anywhere else on the web so i thought this might interest other old Moz fans around.

Not a live film performance? Question-- (Score:1)
But why is so much footage from bands in the 1980s lip-synced? It seems that TV programs preferred this type of "filming"-- why?
The Smiths were a powerful live band. This footage is filled with intrigue--I love it.
As one commenter already stated, Marr looks surprised when the music starts.
Nevertheless... I love it!
Truly,
Ken

Taped for RTBF, the French TV&radio station, presented by Fabienne Vande Meersche.
I never saw it on tv though - perhaps due to the too obvious "false start" - it's a fake surprise you read on Johnny's face; and the fact that hardly anybody had heard of The Smiths in those rotten belgian days.
To my knowledge, there were only 2 letters to a (Flemish) fanzine of that time, reporting back about the 1984 gig.
And more I cannot say.

The librarian replied, "Yes Sir!" and under hushed breath "..romp, and I kidnap Morrissey."
Off topic I know, but interesting, i thought.
Gawd I love this old footage! (Score:0)
