This song has been done in concert a total of 104 times by Morrissey. It was on the setlist for each and every show on the 1992 Your Arsenal tour but it was not played on two occasions because the concert was ended prematurely. For the initial 16 performances on that tour, it segued into the cover of Suede's "My Insatiable One". Then for the remainder of the tour it segued into "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday", except for three consecutive days in the middle of October when it was partnered with "Girl Least Likely To". The song was then given a break of 12 years before being played 50 times as a stand-alone out of 66 concert given on the 2004 You Are The Quarry tour.
