Johnny Marr (guitarist, The Smiths) : That was a bad night. There was an odd atmosphere in the crowd before we even started. The support band had a hard time with the crowd throwing things. I think a lot of older students had come, and they were drunk and causing trouble. When we went on, by the third song I was drenched with water thrown from the front row. I freaked out for five minutes because, apart from anything else, there was the danger of electrocution. I played the rest of the show with my back to the audience and, when we came off I said, 'I'm never playing here again.' And we never did.
