The Smiths - Reading, February 1984
Tom says: “This is The Smiths backstage just before they went on stage at Reading University, in February 1984. I had spent about half an hour doing shots of Morrissey in his hotel room earlier in the evening, but needed a group shot. I think I was standing on a chair looking at the angle. They were quite welcoming considering they were about to go on stage. They played a storming gig that night. Really amazing.”
