VERY RARE UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE
Recorded by the BBC
October 23, 1986
National Ballroom, Kilburn, London, England
The Smiths
... the bad boy from a good family

As the band entered stage, Morrissey took the microphone and shouted a loud "Hello!". Before "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" he asked "Could I please ask the journalists to stop throwing things?". "Ask" and "Is It Really So Strange?" were both introduced, the former as "...our new single."

Over the beginning of "Meat Is Murder" Johnny picked notes that sounded like the slowed down intro to "The Headmaster Ritual". During "I Know It's Over" Morrissey gradually pulled his shirt over his head and spent the latter part of the song with his head hidden inside it. When everyone returned to the stage for the second encore he thanked the audience "Thank you you've been very nice, very kind, very generous". At the beginning of "Bigmouth Strikes Again" he threw in the crowd the t-shirt he had just changed into and sang the song barechested.

This concert was recorded by the BBC for later radio broadcast but the recording was never broadcast in full.  The BBC recording was edited down to 14 tracks and released in 1988 as the"Rank" album
