[InParticularNobody]

ahhhhhhh. i was there. memories. memories. morrissey kept calling for calm: 'civility, please...'

[Flowerblood]

@CeeTeez it's from The Smiths' debut, an alternate version was recorded, I think for the John Peel sessions. That may have been earlier, but it wasn't the official recording.

[CeeTeezVeeTeez]

@Flowerblood . You're perfectly correct. It was originally track 2 on The Smiths by The Smiths. I actually bought it on Hatful of Hollow first and then went back and got the first album.

[MandaOwl]

Can't remember the name of the tune though ??

[CeeTeezVeeTeez]

The track was " You've got Everything Now " from Hatful of Hollow !

[NinetiesYouth]

What a song, where was Marr when the crowd completely engulfs the stage though?

[amyjohnson11]

Stage left, getting out of the way, you can just see him as the crowd start gathering around Moz on the other side

[judeleobscure]

My Dad attended this gig. He said as it was recorded specifically for the BBC they did not charge for the tickets and fans were able to see the Smiths absolutely free of charge!

[GNeuman]

Quite scary that really for Our Morrissey, where the heck were the bouncers??

Thanks for posting :-)

[FlorrieDugger]

@GNeuman Moz incouraged his fans to come up on the stage with him, and has throughout the Smiths days and when he went solo. He loves it, and so do his fans. It was a true part of a Smiths show. One of the best things about watching this preformance is to see the fans get up there with him, He is in no way in any danger. Its a good time and everyone is a part of the fun.

[daqiur]

he can't even speak lol

[CeeTeezVeeTeez]

Glad you enjoyed it. I watched that particular performance when first broadcast on " The Old Grey Whistle Test" on BBC2". It was very common at that time for the adoring masses to invade the stage at Smiths gigs although rare that it were captured on film.

[Morrisseythe23rd]

All of the people in this video have since been banned from Morrissey-solo for expressing thought.
