It seems like the roughshod bootleg quality of South With Morrissey was somewhat intentional. For the time between Maladjusted and You Are The Quarry, Morrissey felt slightly insurgent - and making a document like this on the fly, with no label support, was brassy. The 1999-2000 and 2002 tours had a looseness and joy to them. It was the first time he was playing purely for the sake of playing - no record to hawk.
