They started the set with "How Soon is Now?", one of most loved and most hated Smiths songs among fans.

At this show I remember him singing Rubber Ring, How Soon is Now, and There is a Light (seems to be his encore/exit piece). Maybe that is all he sang but it seemed like there might've been 1 or 2 more. In the May shows he sang Headmaster Ritual, There is a Light and...I can't remember what else, but there were definitely 3. <br /><br />There are two Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679355.post-1097695949878163932004-10-13T15:32:00.000-04:002004-10-13T15:32:00.000-04:00Jill,

Morrissey has been quoted in a few places where he says that as a solo artist he'll never sound like the Smiths (he's sick of people complaining about it) and the Smiths were something special. <br /><br />I don't think a reunion is impossible.
