The Roxy 13 October 1987 [tv]

The Smiths never performed this piece on television, this is actually Bryan Ferry doing his song "The Right Stuff" backed by Johnny Marr. It is mentioned here because this song is the Smiths instrumental "Money Changes Everything" with lyrics written by Brian Ferry, and because the performance features Johnny.

This song was the near-standard first encore on the first UK leg and the North American leg of the 1986 Queen Is Dead tour. It was played a confirmed 19 times in total, perhaps 20 times or more if we take into account that some information is missing about some setlists.

There are no officially released live recordings of the song at this point in time.

No demos or studio outtakes of this song have leaked to the general public at this point in time.
