Older tracks and occasional setlist fillers "You've Got Everything Now" and "Reel Around The Fountain" were dropped from the setlist.

In "Handsome Devil" Morrissey once again changed a line to "I know what teeth are for, and I'd like to help myself." After that song, the fourth on the bill, he finally greeted the audience: "Good evening trendsetters...". The band had just released their "Meat Is Murder" album, but already they were about to put out a non-album single, which Morrissey introduced with the words "This is our new single... and it's a kind little song called 'Shakespeare's Sister'." Older number "Hand In Glove" was introduced with "This is an old crusty little chestnut".

 


A reasonably good audience recording of the whole concert is circulated on fanmade compact discs. This has found its way on the internet, but is at this point very scarcely found there (recorder: Soundsville's Steve). A different audience recording is also available from certain bootleg traders, but this one is not circulated on the internet yet (recorder: Soundsville's Paul).
