"Money Changes Everything" and "I Know It's Over" were reintroduced in the set, but it seems to have cost Santa Barbara "Bigmouth Strikes Again".

The show was an intimate and friendly affair. Morrissey did not say much but he did introduce "Panic" and "Stretch Out And Wait" because both were unreleased in the USA at the time. By the end of the show the stage was littered with flowers.

During the final song one fan was successful in getting through security, he hugged and danced a bit with Morrissey before being dragged off.

 


A good audience recording of this concert is circulated on fanmade CD-Rs and in digital format on the internet. This is available in at least two different versions, transfered from tapes of different generation. Collectors should make sure they get the best version in common circulation, it is allegedly from a third generation tape.

The existence of a different audience recording is rumoured but unconfirmed.
