Earlier today The Smiths' drummer Mike Joyce made a couple of comments about Morrissey on Twitter, then posted a link to a Smiths' concert filmed in 1985. The concert was shot May 18th, 1985 at Paseo De Camoens in Madrid and contains Spanish subtitles to the song lyrics. Watch the full show (complete with three separate encores!) below.
Setlist:
01. William It Was Really Nothing
02. Nowhere Fast
03. I Want The One I Can't Have
04. What She Said
05. How Soon Is Now?
06. Handsome Devil
07. That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
08. Shakespear's Sister
09. Rusholme Ruffians
10. The Headmaster Ritual
11. Hand In Glove
12. Still Ill
13. Meat Is Murder
Encore:
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
Miserable Lie
Barbarism Begins At Home
This Charming Man
You've Got Everything Now
Mike Joyce also commented briefly about the recent Smiths reunion rumors on his radio show. A recap of his comments are posted below:
"...I think you've seen a quote from Johnny Marr, Johnny's manager, and if you haven't then it was just saying that Johnny's obviously back with the Healers. The Healers are back and biting and he's out working with them, so it's not going to happen I don't think in the near future. And then I saw something from Morrissey's publicist saying that the Smiths will never ever ever ever ever reunite.
"If Johnny says he's gonna be doing work with The Healers and Morrissey says it's not gonna happen, then I think I'd probably take that it's not. If it does, it does, and if it doesn't, it doesn't, and it's as simple as that, and I think going on Twitter and Facebook and social media isn't the way to do it...as soon as you've got the ticket in your hand it's going to happen, and if you don't, it pretty much isn't."
