Lovecats was done on the garish stage that lends itself more to Morrisseys weird dance moves.



I used to dig top of the pops when they would show em here in the states. Another great archive for outstanding videos and live videos was 120 Minutes. Heres a link for the archive site I use, its pretty damn awesome for those who don't already use it.
