==Concert Notes==
"This was The Smiths' first major support slot with fellow Mancunians The Fall as headliners. The beginning of the concert was a bit shaky, with a few mistakes in [[Accept Yourself]] and a terrible version of [[Reel Around The Fountain]], but they managed to get everything right in the second half of the concert, which was very well received by the audience."<ref>Concert Notes provided by [http://www.passionsjustlikemine.com Passions Just Like Mine]</ref>

==Live Recordings==


An unofficial live recording of this show exists and has circulated in various formats and on filesharing sites. This show is of note because it featured a work-in-progress version of Barbarism Begins At Home, performed over a year before the album version was released, and featuring noticeably different/additional lyrics.
