    My favourite performance from The Smiths, all members are at their best here. Meat is Murder era was definitely something else, I wish I was alive to witness this live irl, I bet it would’ve been so much more ground breaking and incredible seeing this show for real! The love I have for the smiths is eternal

    People say that these guys are like the Second "Beatles".... after listening to tons of live and studio recordings, I think they are Right. I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and nobody else has made as much difference and changed the Sound so Damn much.. Amazing Foursome!!!

      And you can hear the tribute to The Beatles in a small fragment of Jeane at 1:11:36

    I caught this Tour in 1985 at the Hollywood Palladium and that show was an absolute stunner. It was also the most insane crowd I'd seen at this particular venue. I mean, I'd see The Cure, XTC, Simple Minds, Bauhaus, TSOL, "X", and to many more to mention.... The Smiths were a great band in everyway and not to many people can say that they caught the band live, especially here in the USA. This is a great recording of them in their absolute best. LOVE IT!!!

    This is one of the best Smiths gigs I have ever heard, and I've listened to well over a hundred at this stage! Amazing setlist with some surprising inclusions/sequences, some of Morrissey's best-ever live vocals, Johnny's guitar rings clear and true like a bell, the rhythm section are bang on form and the audience sound well and truly there for the taking. Thanks so much for sharing, this is wonderful x

    What type of audio did you use to record this GREAT! sounding Smiths Show-Any memory that stands out to you the band sounds like they were on fire-Moz singing with gusto and music wise band plays real tight. Thanks for posting shows a Stand Out for us Smiths fans.
