Smiths, The - Live At Tendastrisce Theatre, Rome, Italy 1985 LP (Orange Vinyl)

A recording of the Smiths performing live in Italy in May 1985, as part of their Meat Is Murder tour. Surprisingly, this was the Smiths' only ever live appearance in the Bel Paese! The Manchester band would pass through Italy in concert just once at the Teatro Tendastrice in Rome on May 14. This live reissue is made up of just this one recording, but it is also complemented by two separate TV performances received by fans two years later, within days of each other. Quintessential live Smiths, as heard by Italy.
