The Smiths - The Old Grey Whistle Test (1983)

( Assembly Rooms, Derby, UK, 07 Dec 1983 )


A rather rowdy little affair for the newly professional musicians that ended in some disorder. A few songs breaks and lyric changes but I feel it is a good document of the band becoming something special. A bit of Morrissey giving the crownd advice is pretty fun to hear, quite a bit of 'shush now' and that sort of thing.
