On 20th July 1986, The Smiths performed at the University Of Salford – a show which would go on to be regarded as their best, and listed as one of the 100 best concerts ever by Q Magazine.
The Smiths’ guitarist at the time, Johnny Marr (who would subsequently go on to leave the band before their split in 1987) said ”The PA had to be tied down because the floor was bouncing up so high that the stage was practically falling to pieces. I’ve actually got that night on film somewhere. The Smiths were pretty full-on as a live band. Even the slow songs were full-on. I doubt we ever played a bad show.”
Classic tracks such as ‘Hand in Glove’ and ‘There is a Light That Never Goes Out’ featured in the Salford performance.
