This is a gig many probably will have seen.
Directed by James O'Brien (who took over after Tim Broad died) and filmed in 2 locations - Sheffield & Blackpool on the 7 & 8th Feb., '95.

I was at Sheffield, then at Aston a few days later. Grand times! Maybe I helped you on the stage? Being 6'5 in the front rows I always ended up with a shoe in the face. Oh time, you fickle mistress...I'm on that video, went to the Sheffield gig, great day on the lash and a great gig as well.
Camp as row of pink tents years.I have this on DVD, and his hair was beautiful. My favorite Morrissey era.

coolest stage invader is the big guy at 38.30,walks by M pats him on the chest and walks away.
at the 40 minute mark is alain playing the guitar with his teeth.with the pubs being shut these concerts make it a little less shit.
What he and Gustavo did to Speedway was unforgivable, I truly despised that.the video that got everyone hot for speedway imho but he temporarily ruined the song when he let manzur sing the last bit.
but omg these were the days
I was at the Bradford show on this tour. I totally agree with you, I think this was him at the peak of his career. He looked and sounded stunning, the ban were incredible and I got speaking with Linder Sterling that night too.
and a fine story it is,least you got a chat and a photo which will live long in the memory.I've invaded the stage so many times, and as a big guy I tell you it's not always received well. In 97 I stood in line in a snowstorm in Buffalo, everyone was waiting at the back before the show and I decided to camp another door. Sure enough, I caught him there and we had a 2 minute chat and photo.
During the encore later I got on stage and reached out, and then got tackled by four security guys and dragged out in a chokehold. They threw me out and I waited outside with the crowd after the show.
10 minutes later his Security chief came out and grabbed me by the arm and said they didnt want trouble. Morrissey came out immediately and ran into the bus.
Sometimes being nearly 7 ft tall will put the fear into anyone, including Moz. Anyway, that's my irrelevant story.
What’s surprising about watching this gig is how static he’d already become on stage. When I saw him live in ‘91 & ‘92 he was a whirling dervish throwing himself all over the stage.
Age....illness.......I dunno. He also smiled a lot more.
