The one track you've seen is the only video to ever surface from that gig - hence the audio links.
Given the amount of time Smiths Torrents collated video & audio for - if it's not in the collection, it's probably being held on to or only one song got captured properly.
I've never seen or heard of a full gig myself.
Always happy to be wrong.
Regards,

Wow! first time seeing this clip, am I wrong in saying that this is the only video footage of a Smiths performance in America ?





In the comments section, somebody that was actually at the show said


“Morrissey thanked everyone for coming to see the smiths instead of staying home and watching Benson reruns”

New York heatwave that night I hear and Johnny was drinking a lot that day. Very humid and hot and Johnny was nipping the Grand Marnier of all things. Gak! Mozz looks bored. Craig steals show every time.
