The Smiths

On October 15, 1986, The Smiths delivered an electrifying performance at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall, prominently featuring their iconic track "Bigmouth Strikes Again." This concert came just a few months after the release of their album "The Queen Is Dead," which had hit the shelves in June that same year. The album is often hailed as one of the finest in British music history, and during this live recording, you can really feel the raw energy of the band and their connection with the audience. At this stage in their career, The Smiths were at the peak of their popularity, with Morrissey and Marr's unique blend of melancholy and wit resonating strongly. It's fascinating to think that just a few years prior, they were paving their way in the music scene. The atmosphere during this show reflects not just their musical prowess but also the cultural impact they were starting to make.
