Short story:

The Smiths' interrupted British tour resumes at The Lyceum Ballroom, London, England, UK, Europe.

Mick Sinclair (reviewer, Sounds) : I watched from the middle of the hall, while The Smiths offered really nothing to get excited over. They let down the vaguest of gauntlets, I suppose, by their very refusal to be more than cutely melodic tunesmiths who've graced the charts a bit.

Morrissey extracted a measure of gratuitous sympathy when he spluttered about being 'ill'. You could feel the unheard cries of the Affected Youth as they collectively squealed, 'I know, Morrissey. I've been ill too. I know what it's like. I share your pain.' And that was a pain.
