THE SMITHS

[Paul Saxon]

I WENT TO SEE THE SMITHS IN 1980 AT SHEFIELD LEADMILL, AND TO BE FAIR THERE WAS QUITE A FEW OF US. IT KICKED OFF ROTTEN IN THE MOSH PIT AND TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST I GOT TOTALLY BATTERED.

I totally believe that. That concert must have been the product of some time warp.

No, no I remember now it was 1982

They didn't have a single out until 1983! Were you alone?

NO, ACTUALLY A FEW OF US WERE THERE. ME, OUR BROTHER, SKINHEAD NEIL, KINGHAM & SOME OFF THE YOUNG LADS. WE HAD A REALLY GOOD NIGHT, APART FROM GETTING BATTERED AND MISSING THE LAST TRAIN HOME

The Smiths only played one gig in 1982 and that was in Manchester.
