Footage of a rare gig Morrissey performed with The Smiths after he left the band to go solo has emerged online.

The gig took place at Wolverhampton Civic Hall on December 22, 1988. An Uncut feature from 1998 uploaded to Morrissey-Solo.com fills in the background to the show. “Exactly 365 days after he’d last worked with them, Morrissey (or rather his lawyer) phoned Marr, Joyce and Rourke and suggested a gig. The result was a triumphant experience for all concerned, with feverish members of the audience gaining admission with a Smiths or Morrissey T-Shirt.

“The band played the material they’d recorded with Morrissey a year earlier (such as ‘The Last Of The Famous International Playboys’) and a handful of Smiths songs never played live. However, the backstage environment brought the curious occasion of a group whose entire membership was suing the singer. According to Joyce, ‘It wasn’t mentioned’.”

Opening with ‘Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before’, the 40-minute long set includes Morrissey solo tracks such as ‘Suedehead’ and ‘Sister I’m A Poet’ as well as The Smiths’ ‘Sweet And Tender Hooligan’. The gig was announced on John Peel’s radio show with only fans wearing a Smiths or Morrissey T-shirt allowed entrance. Johnny Marr did not perform on the night, replaced on guitar instead by Craig Gannon.

Thirty of the original thirty-six panels were reproduced or re-imagined and printed onto 7″ sleeves, complete with (random surplus) singles kindly supplied by Max Hambledon from his extensive tours of car boot sales in search of rare grooves.

Each image was drawn in pen and ink, tone added with black watercolour pencil, scanned and converted to duo-tone to match the associated Smiths cover. In order to qualify this as an ‘installation’ (it was an art degree, after all), I sampled the appropriate line from each song and faded these in and out on a constant loop through headphones for that multimedia experience.

Click on the image to see the comic, or each panel may be viewed separately on Flickr.

MEDUSAS

Como vós oh infelizes cabeças
De roxas cabeleiras
Não há coisa que mais me agrade
Do que dançar no meio da tempestade
