History
in May 1993 Morrissey released his first live album called "Beethoven Was Deaf".
It was recorded over two nights in December 1992.
The sleeve notes of the album incorrectly credits the complete set as having been
recorded in Paris, when infact seven of the sixteen songs were recorded in London
two days before the show at Le Zénith.
The tracks "Jack The Ripper", "Sister I'm A Poet" and "You're The One For Me, Fatty"
from "Beethoven Was Deaf" will be included in the "World Of Morrissey" compilation
released in February 1995.
You will find here the twelve missing tracks from London and the ten missing tracks from Paris.
A few songs played during the two gigs were not included on "Beethoven Was Deaf" :
"Tomorrow", "Alsatian Cousin" and "The Last Of The Famous International Playboys".
In London, "November Spawned A Monster" was stopped after two minutes because Morrissey
was trying to remove a ring from an audience member to wear it on stage.
The silver CD bootleg "I'm A Poet" used a DAT audience recording,
but due to a bad transfer some diginoises can be heard during the show.
One friend of the taper is unfortunately "un gros beauf" (a redneck),
and can't stop making stupid comments between the songs.
A member of the audience will shout for "The Loop" until... "The Loop" is finally played,
but another one will have less success with "Everyday Is Like Sunday".
Due to the average mixing and editing of "Beethoven Was Deaf", it is not possible
to "add" the official tracks into the outtakes (like i did for the parisian show
of Joy Division), or vice versa.
All the speeches made by Morrissey in London and Paris (edited in the official album)
were kept on the outtakes tracks in their actual place.

Famous quotes
"We might release that as a single.
Do you think it would be a hit ?
(crowd : "Yes !")
Do you think that, hm, they would play it on the radio ?
(crowd : "No !").
Hm... What ?
Did you say... hm ?
What ?
Hm... Hmhm. Hmhm".
[Morrissey after "The National Front Disco", London]
NOTA : this speech was modified on "Beethoven Was Deaf",
editing the "Yes !" reply by the crowd and the line about
having the song played on the radio.
Now the crowd is replying "No !" to the original question...
"Hm...
I...
I...
I still...
cannot...
speak...
French...
I...
I'm...
very lazy".
[Morrissey after "Glamorous Glue", Paris]
NOTA : this speech is included in full after "Sister I'm A Poet",
which was played as the eleventh song in Paris. "Glamorous Glue"
from London was prefered for "Beethoven Was Deaf".
Started at the Elysée-Montmartre first Morrissey gig in France,
the "I cannot speak French" quote will be a running joke between Morrissey
and his french fans for years.
