18 May 1985 - Paseo De Cameons - Madrid, Spain
As in Barcelona, the Smiths played a 18 track setlist including the almost forgotten "This Charming Man" and the occasionally skipped "Barbarism Begins At Home", but not the lesser known "Stretch Out And Wait".
This was a free concert supported by the Madrid Townhall on the occasion of (the patron saint of Madrid) Saint Isidro's bankholiday . The socialist party was very interested in pop music and wanted to give a boost to a city that was culturally dead after 40 years of dictatorship. The gig turned out well, the Spanish were very energetic. Morrissey was also very energetic, he danced wildly but wasn't very talkative. He introduced the current single, "Shakespeare's Sister", with "This is our new single, it's called 'Shakespeare's Sister'." Similarly, "Hand In Glove" was introduced with "This song is called 'Hand In Glove'." In "Still Ill", Morrissey fell to the floor and writhed like a dying animal. The only memorable quote preceded "Meat Is Murder": "We have seen your national sport... and it's not very kind...". Besides that his banter consisted of hello's and thank you's, like "Thank you, you're very kind... thank you" after "Handsome Devil" and "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now". Coming back for the third encore, Morrissey stretched it slightly by saying "Thank you, we're very happy, thank you." During the ending of "Barbarism Begins At Home", as he danced, Morrissey slowly removed his shirt, swung it around, and threw it into the audience. After "You've Got Everything Now" Morrissey simply said "Goodbye! We love you... thank you... goodbye... thank you..." and the band left stage a final time. The complete concert was recorded and broadcast on Spanish television programme Edad De Oro. This was repeated in digital in 2006.
