| Oxford was treated to the rarer "You've Got Everything Now", but regular "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" and occasional "Reel Around The Fountain" were not played. |
| As he entered stage Morrissey greeted the audience with "Hello, we're the other funny Manchester group!", a reference to opening band James. In set opener "William, It Was Really Nothing" he made a slight mistake when he sang "...and if you like you can buy the ring, *I* doesn't care about anything". Before "What She Said", knowing that the concert was being record for posterity, he announced "I hope you take notes ... this will all be relevant one day..." The most recent release "Shakespeare's Sister" was introduced with the words "This is our new single... which is about the greatest woman that ever lived..." |
| When he returned to the stage for the first encore Morrissey announced "This is being taped by the jolly BBC, so if anybody has anything clever to say, say it now and go down in history..." The performance of "Miserable Lie" which followed was a very lively one. Morrissey rolled his 'R's, changed some of his words and echoed the endings of certain lines as he had been doing at the time. After the song he asked "Any questions?". |
| This concert was first broadcast on Janice Long's programme on BBC radio the following May and is still broadcast now and then around the world. The track selection was not always the same but "I Want The One I Can't Have", "Rusholme Ruffians" and "Handsome Devil" were never featured. It must also be said that the version of "You've Got Everything Now" that the BBC broadcast was taken from the recording of a different, unspecified date, and "How Soon Is Now?" was edited down by one minute. |
