Friday Night With Jonathan Ross 14 May 2004 [tv]
This 2-song performance (also including "Irish Blood, English Heart") is circulated on bootleg video compilations of Morrissey television appearances. The audio has not yet been compiled on a manufactured bootlegs but it is found in digital format on the internet. "Everyday Is Like Sunday" was done with an intro of the first few lines of the New York Dolls song "Subway Train", just as on live performances of that song throughout the 2004 You Are The Quarry tour.

 

The song has been performed live 417 times by Morrissey, perhaps even up to 421 times if we take into account the fact that a handful of setlists of the Kill Uncle tour have been lost. This places it in the top 3 of Morrissey's 'live hall of fame'. It was done almost every night on the 1991 Kill Uncle tour, for a total of 59 times, perhaps even up to 63 times (considering lost setlists). It was done another 26 times on the 1992 Your Arsenal tour, most of the time as the first encore, and regularly until mid-October after which it was only done sporadically. After a break of 10 years, Morrissey pulled the song out again and sang it on each and every one of the 47 concerts of the 2002 tour with no name. The song was again a live fixture on the subsequent 2004 You Are The Quarry tour. It was done 57 times out of the tour's first 61 dates, always with a verse of the New York Dolls' "Subway Train" tagged as an intro. The song was given a short break at the beginning of the Tour Of The Tormentors MMVI which came next, but was played at each and every one of the 23 dates of that tour's final two legs and the 43 non-interrupted concerts of the following tour's first two legs. It was sporadically done a further 7 times over the remainder of that Greatest Hits tour in late 2007 and early 2008. After being absent on the two tours of 2009 and getting re-released in 2010, it returned again as a live fixture in 2011 (played 44 times out of 47), in 2012 (played 55 times out of 56), in 2013 (played 14 times out of 15) and in 2014 (42 times out of 49).
