The Smiths - Gala Ballroom


19 August 1983 - Gala Ballroom - Norwich, UK

As the band entered stage, Morrissey greeted the already excited fans "Hello... goodnight..." before launching into "You've Got Everything Now". He wasn't very talkative throughout the evening, he just shouted or whispered the songs' titles before singing them. Morrissey kicked into the next song "What Difference Does It Make?" with a high pitched yelp. A fast pace was maintained and the band didn't linger too long before launching into another fast song, "Handsome Devil". "Reel Around The Fountain", which was a fan favourite at this early stage, was very well received by the audience. There was a false start in the drum roll intro to the next song, "These Things Take Time". Just before that, Morrissey had introduced it with "It's really sad... 'These Things Take Time'". The band were called back on stage for an encore with loud applause and gave their fans a great performance of "Accept Yourself". After a second serving of "Hand In Glove" Morrissey simply said "Goodbye, thank you". The crowd wanted more again, shouting titles and praise to the band, so there was a second encore, this time a second performance of "Handsome Devil".
