Because I often see requests here or by email for lists of soundboard concerts, I made a few changes to "Passions Just Like Mine" to accommodate such requests.
From now on, on the bootlegs (unofficial recordings) pages for both the Smiths and Morrissey, if you choose in the audio section 'concerts by date', you'll reach a page where all dates are listed with a code for the best available recording in circulation for each one. Soundboard, FM and excellent audience recordings are all in bold and easy to spot. Links are available from each date for further information about the gig, track listing and bootlegs available.
If you are a collector of live recordings, you are welcome to have a look and comment on any interesting improvement I could add. Before doing so, please have a look at the notes at the beginning of the page. You need to keep in mind that this is an overview only, I list the best recording for each date, and second or third bests only if they feature music not featured in the first. For complete information on all recordings, you need to go to the respective gig page by following the link.
I also only list was is circulated among traders and on the internet. If someone somewhere has recorded the show but is not sharing it, it won't be mentioned.
I split the audience recordings in three levels of quality. Excellent, poor and everything in between. I could have split the middle class into more, but this is easier and people tend to collect the very best, or everything but the unlistenable, so it would be pointless to be more detailed. Some people might have preferred scores, but it's hard to agree on information that precise.
So you're welcome to compare your collection to what is up there and report anything lacking or incorrect, or make any suggestion on how I could improve this.
