Although the Smiths were a beloved band in Italy, they had the misfortune to play live only once. A single concert, the one at the Teatro Tendastrice in Rome on May 14, 1985, during the Meat Is Murder tour. A spring Tuesday that would go down in history. The Manchester band would later pass through Italy for two appearances, but only on television. The first - at the Sanremo festival at the PalaRock - and then, between 9 and 10 March, they took the stage at the 1987 Spring Festival. Shortly thereafter, in August 1987, Johnny Marr would leave the group. To make a long story short, this performance is quintessential and a must have for all of the die-hard supporters !
