Great site by Manchester District Music Archive.....
I particularly like this featured artifact form The Smiths' gig in 1984.
This is from their first major tour in support of the classic debut album. The Smiths' fans were a little more rowdy than the venue's (very few and old) security staff were expecting. Consequently the first 4 rows of the stalls collapsed as the audience jumped on the backs of the seats. This caused some panic as everyone had to get quickly out of the way of the collapsing rows (some less successfully than others). There may have been some minor injuries but nothing serious. The gig carried on and was fabulous.
