Sound: Very good soundboard, rather tinny

Time: Approx. 30 Minutes

Set List:

These Things Take Time, What Difference Does It Make, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Handsome Devil, Jeane, What Do You See In Him, Hand In Glove, Miserable Lie

Comments: A very good early show. Jeane was always one of my favorite b-sides and here is a very good live version. What Do You See In Him is an ealry version of what would become Wonderful Woman, another excellent b-side. The rest of the show is good, although Morrissey seems to be finding his way vocally before he perfected it a few months later.

Live at the Hacienda, Manchester, England, July 7, 1983

Sound: Very good soundboard

Time: Approx. 45 Minutes

Set List:

Handsome Devil, Reel Around the Fountain, What Difference Does It Make, Wonderful Woman, These Things Take Time, I Don't Owe You Anything, Hand In Glove, Miserable Lie, Accept Yourself

Comments: A great sounding early Smiths show. Handsome Devil is powerful and Wonderful Woman is a great song I have never heard of them doing before. It has some great tremolo guitar and is elegant and it rocks. The rest of the show is strong and great and Moz's little zinger after Hand In Glove is a riot!

Live at Westfield College, London, England, November 17, 1983

Sound: Good audience

Time: Approx. 65 Minutes

Set List:

Handsome Devil, Still Ill, This Charming Man, Pretty Girls Make Graves, This Night Has Opened My Eyes, What Difference Does It Make, Hand In Glove, Reel Around the Fountain, Miserable Lie, Accept Yourself, This Charming Man, You've Got Everything Now

Comments: This is the actual tape used to record this show by a member of the audience in 1983. I acquired this tape, and although it's a decent audience recording, the show is really good. Pretty Girls Make Graves is a great version and it's played really tight and powerful....quite a change if you listen to the earlier 1983 shows.
