Smiths
A Charming Man In Amsterdam
This concert, put together to celebrate Dutch music magazine Vinyl's fifth anniversary, was the Smiths' first show in
the Netherlands. 'Miserable Lie,' 'I Don't Owe You Anything' and 'These Things Take Time' returned to the setlist. They
were rarely performed at this point in time. The latter two titles were almost at the end of their live career. During
the recent tour of the UK 'Hand In Glove' had been the standard set opener and its intro extended by a few bars. For
some reason, even if the song was still opener in Amsterdam, the normal intro was brought back. After the latter number
Morrissey introduced the next planned one by saying: "Thank you, this song is called 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now'."
The song had just been recorded and it was planned to be released as a single one month later, so this live performance
was much closer to the studio version we are familiar with. Recorded at De Meervaart, Amsterdam April 21, 1984. Comes on
purple vinyl.
