I was there - and I could hear them play - but didn’t bother watching them cos I hated them at the time. I then moved to Didsbury Manchester (to form a group) and ppl kept playing the first album. After a while I realised - to my abject horror - that I was starting to ‘really like’ What Difference Does It Make. The rest soon followed - I’ve loved The Smiths as much as any parent loves their children - ever since. Never got to see them live - despite driving with girlfs and band mates to Llandudno - for The Queen Is Dead tour - in exceptionally high spirits !! Only to be crushingly disappointed ☹️ to find out it had been cancelled !! Aaaargh !! Fuckin disaster or wot !?!?! We ended up in some shitty pub that was playing The Carpenters all bleedin night. What a comedown !! Apparently when Morrissey walked out on stage holding the QID placard in Preston - a bunch of little Englander nob heads out to spoil the gig - started lobbing shit at Morrissey - he was hit in the face by a sharpened 50Pence coin - he dropped the mic 🎙 and stormed off - refusing to do the next gig - ie: the one we went all that pigging way for. Sometimes things in life just don’t fall right. Got to meet JM in later life tho - lovely fella too. Cheers 🥂 and hope you enjoyed my wee Smiths story ! All true as I live & breathe. Rx

I was there & I got on stage at the end of the set, oh to be a young teenager again!

Mark. So was I....and so did I. Led off the backstage way at the end. That greasy stage front wasn't gonna stop me!

Probably the best set the Smiths have ever played live imo.

The drum part in Nowhere fast is so good

❤It is fun😂 to talk🎉 with You😢 through the words😮 in the lines😅 in the songs😊

I never was "Afraid Girl" before this time...

This is great

I was there and had a great time.

Thank you Very much! Caçadores de The Smiths!

Marr sounds so into it on Barbarism. Makes it the highlight of the whole show

Set the boy free brought me here.

golly grand show

It is the same words in the same lines set up the same way, but it is in All'ah'ways, a completely different Conversation

Did no one think to film it? 🤔

why is there no vidfeo footage of this to maske a videoe be awesomethat the smiths at glastonbury before the battle of the beanfeild and it went military and obnoxious be awesome to see that video and i know a lot of bands that were gonna play stonehenge were told you play there then forget ya record deal and smiths did glastonbury and they were a number 1 band

Esto es histórico , aunque al parecer no tuvieron mucha acogida por parte de la audiencia , morrissey dijo en una entrevista que la mayor parte del público estaba en otra y que prefería no volver a presentarse ahí

estas seguro?, hay fotos del momento y habian stage invation durante el concierto

Was there and have fantastic memories if a little blurred by certain substances. I know Morrissey didn't enjoy himself due to a small number of dumb fuck half wits giving the band a hard time, which probably resulted in the relatively short set. However, listening back, they were really on form and I can guarantee that the majority of those naysayers will have been spouting the 'I saw The Smiths at Glastonbury' line...well you can shove a bunch of Gladioli up your collective arse...may the soil forever fall over your heads!
