The Smiths
The Smiths Live at San Diego State University Performing Full Concert
In June 1985, The Smiths performed a memorable live show at the SDSU Open Air Theatre in San Diego, capturing a moment during a pivotal time in their career. Just prior to this recording, they had released their third studio album, "Meat Is Murder," which came out in February of the same year. This album was met with both commercial success and critical acclaim, solidifying their unique sound and lyrical depth. Interestingly, the live show features many tracks from this album, showcasing their commitment to addressing social issues—a theme prevalent in Morrissey's lyrics. It’s exciting to think about the energy in the crowd that night, as fans were eager to connect with a band that was rapidly rising to prominence, capturing the essence of the mid-'80s music scene.
