This is one of the best concerts of this period. The new Manchester heroes returned home to play before a crowd of 1500 fans who packed the Hacienda to full capacity. Many had brought flowers, the place was drowning in them and there was a heavy perfume in the air. The Smiths had just returned from their first appearance on Top Of The Pops so it was quite late when they came on, but they were still received as heroes. Frank Worrall, from the Melody Maker: "Even before they took the stage, girls were being pulled aside for treatment after fainting and too much screaming." The setlist featured all the songs performed by the Smiths at the time except for "Wonderful Woman". -passionsjustlikemine
