The Smiths - Lyceum Ballroom 1983

The Smiths, live at the Lyceum Ballroom London, 25th September 1983

An early show from the Manchester lads, featuring the three early singles and most of the first album (not released until '84), plus These Things Take Time and Wonderful Woman, originally released as 12" b-sides. The show's cut off at the beginning, as the first track starts mid-song, but it's a good sounding recording for its age.

01 Pretty Girls Make Graves
02 Wonderful Woman
03 Miserable Lie
04 Reel Around The Fountain
05 I Don't Owe You Anything
06 Hand In Glove
07 What Difference Does It Make?
08 These Things Take Time
09 Hand In Glove

The Smiths - Salford Uni 1986

The Smiths, live at Salford University, 20th July 1986

A great setlist from what was the The Smiths (sounds weird, but surely the correct way of saying it?) homecoming gig in Salford, home of the famous above location of course. Not the original line-up at this point, as Andy had been fired for his heroin use via post-it note, a classy touch from Morrissey...despite that, this is probably the most celebrated period of The Smiths career as they were touring what's generally considered their best album, certainly my favourite, The Queen Is Dead.

01 Panic
02 Shakespeare's Sister
03 Frankly, Mr. Shankly
04 Vicar In A Tutu
05 Ask
06 I Want The One I Can't Have
07 Cemetry Gates
08 Never Had No One Ever
09 Is It Really So Strange?
10 The Boy With The Thorn In His Side

The Smiths - Live at Caird Hall 1985

The Smiths, live at Caird Hall Dundee, 26th Septmeber 1985

I couldn't post Jeff related stuff without a dose of The Smiths, as he once said "The eighties was bullshit....except maybe The Smiths". It's been a good while since I've listened to them myself, but they are still a huge favourite of mine, and it's good to see Johnny having some success again, sadly with a fairly shitty band, he should've stayed with Modest Mouse!
