The Smiths once again significantly scrambled the setlist. "Shakespeare's Sister" and "Vicar In A Tutu" returned and "Meat Is Murder" was played for the first time on this leg of the tour. To make space for these, "Is It Really So Strange?", "Money Changes Everything", "Hand In Glove" and "I Know It's Over" were dropped. "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" was moved all the way up the bill in place of "How Soon Is Now?" which returned to the encore position.

Morrissey and the band were in great form, particularly Johnny. At some point he took one of Mike's drumsticks and strummed his guitar with it before throwing it into the crowd. People could get next to the stage, but security was very tight. Only one girl managed to make it up there. It was very hot in the venue (a gymnasium) and at some point Morrissey teased the fans in the front rows with a glass of water he had next to him on stage.

Panic", which was unreleased in the USA at that point in time, was introduced by Morrissey with "This is a new song... 'Panic'." Before "Cemetry Gates", the man started "I hope you all... shhh!... never mind..." but never finished what he had to say. In "What She Said", Morrissey changed a line to "How come somebody hasn't noticed that I'm dead". "The Queen Is Dead" was introduced with "And not another little ... what? another little bedtime message... some... what?... something to sleep on?..." During the second encore of "Bigmouth Strikes Again", Morrissey was half pulled into the audience when he bent forward to touch hands. The security guards managed to liberate him, and he exited the stage, leaving the rest of the band to finish the song.

bootlegs

A good audience recording of this concert is circulated on fanmade CD-Rs and as MP3 files on digital trading networks. It is not impossible that an alternate audience recording might be available from bootleg traders (although not on the internet yet).
