A surge of fans at the front of the gig saw the first three rows of seating collapse as people had been clambering over the chairs to get closer to their hero. At some point Morrissey threw his shirt into the audience to be fought over.
Before "I Want The One I Can't Have", Morrissey encouraged the fans "Come on don't be afraid". He continued after the song: "Don't be afraid of the bouncers, they're outnumbered". "Shakespeare's Sister" was introduced with the words "This is our new single... which... which... which you all know stormed the chart for one week, and then stormed out for one week and then begone...".
The full concert can be obtained from traders of bootleg tapes and CD-Rs, occasionally under the title "Where's The Beef". MP3s of the latter cds have also made it onto the digital trading networks.
