The Smiths Wolverhampton 15 Oct 86 - Still Ill

[creepycraig73]

Greatest band ever. Fuck the Beatles.

[flowerlikelife5]

Haha, Johnny is a laugh xD

oh, those lucky bastards who were there! And hugged Morrissey! I'll smash something soon..

MOZ<3

[HangTheDJ16]

Morrissey and Marr... Both legends! I love the way they both got caught up in the moment!

[aotearoavillan]

Yep, I was at this concert too and was bruised, battered, elated and exhausted the next day but this was tempered by the fact I got this bootleg video a couple of weeks later from a guy in the poster part of the old Oasis store in town (Brum).

[chrissylaa]

Very emotional when The Smiths took the stage.Nothing to touch them since!!

[41htdex]

I went to a Moz concert last week. Most of the people there were unattractive or gay or both. The people that did have dates had wierdo dates. I wonder where I fit in. The smiths were so cool. The band, the crowd so full of life.

[texaho]

lol. mind your manners, though! this our little universe. you are treading on our territory!

[jarvizcocker]

this is precious

[OboxerU]

I like Moz's wave at 0:37.

Has a certain finality to it, does it not?

[OboxerU]

I've never really associated the Smiths with hardcore.

[texaho]

no, i'm referencing your attention to detail as being a "hardcore" fan...

[OboxerU]

I misunderstood you earlier. My mistake.

[chrissylaa]

I was there.The support band were atrocious.Last bus back to West Brom then 4 mile walk home!!!!

[aotearoavillan]

They were called Raymonde and yes, I remember thinking at the time how crap they were. But that was probably because all I wanted to see were The Smiths so 45 minutes of tediuos posturing just delayed that. Awesome gig though, the single blue spotlight as that eerie operatic vocal started the intro, then the Montagu and Capulet overture and then BANG "The Queen is Dead" rang out and the craziest manic surge to the front to try and get near the band. 23 years on it still gives me goosebumps......

[belzeebub99]

God I wish I was there that night!!!!!!!!!

[keithyboy8]

i was there ......1st of mine times ive seen moz (only smiths)......& still the best !!

[andy69kidd]

Aaaww Wikkid!, I was there too.... It is just a distant memory now, but at the time it was a really awesome nite!

[andy69kidd]

I was!... It's just a distant memory now tho.... if only we couldt turn back the time ;)

[oldskoolheretic]

The look on Morrissey's face near the beginning, where you see the end of the fan's embrace of him, is awesome. It's sheer glee etched on his face.

[lidow123]

i love how happy marr looks haha.

[murphymumm]

It's so wonderful to see them happy and energetic.

[stefan1dahlgren]

you can hear how happy he is.. he´s allmost playing more than notes than there is...

[nunzioforpresident]

simply amazing

[littledroogie]

God damn, I want to get on stage with Morrissey some day, even if I gotta leave the show, I'll at least hug him or something.

[andy69kidd]

It was fantastic!.... I was actually there, at the Civic Hall for "The Queen is Dead" tour.

I've not been to that many but this was my favourite concert EVER!

[peopletalking]

the building must have exploded with all the passion there that night.

there is nothing that can beat this sort of concert...

[solaar1976]

must have beign somthing to be there that night ! :)

[jlarnaut]

I hope that Moz should consider a reunion with his old fellas... a Smiths reunion it would drive fans crazy..

[domngel]

I think that possibility has pretty much sailed away forever. The reason. Morrissey. Simply Moz. But oh my word. To dream of it. I wouldn't be able to contain myself and i would go wee wee uncontrollably!

[belzeebub99]

We should really start a petition or something!!!

Could you imagine!!!?

[BanburyAd]

I've got this gig on VHS, it's great ( has a version of I Know It's Over that io can't seem to find anywhere else) - but I have no idea how to convert a VHS tape onto my mac.

[Stillillgal]

i love him!

[smorrissey]

Wow, does anybody has the entire gig?
