7 July 1983 - The Rock Garden - London, UK
The Smiths returned to London, this time as headliners to a sold-out show. Johnny Waller from Sounds magazine described them as "effortlessly brilliant". From the advert: "Magazine and Velvets' rawpower" and "Percusive popular dance music"!
Halfway into "What Difference Does It Make?", Morrissey changed the usual melody of the line "...just because you ask me to" by bunching the words together. After the song he asked "Can I have some more voice mister monitor man, please?... Thank you, more voice... I can't hear what I'm singing... can you hear me?... See, nobody can hear me! (someone shouts 'turn the bass up!') Turn the bass? Bass up or down? (people shout 'down!')". The night was very sweaty, prompting Morrissey to comment after "Wonderful Woman": "You'll have to bring your swimwear next time... pass out if you want to". "I Don't Owe You Anything" was introduced as "A song for the delicate, which is maybe me..." After "Miserable Lie" Morrissey gave a quick "Goodbye!" as was the habit at that time and the band left stage. After a short break the band returned to the stage and Morrissey announced "It makes none... accept yourself, little charmers, accept yourself, now!" which served as an introduction to "Accept Yourself". After the song there was another "Goodbye!" and the band left stage once more. The demand was such that the Smiths had to return for a second encore. Entering stage, Morrissey said "You're disturbing the peace... not really... too bad you're gonna have 'Hand In Glove' again" and the band launched into a second serving of the Smiths' first single.
