The first Smiths gig in Ireland has for many years, thanks to Smiths biographer Johnny Rogan being erroniously listed as taking place at Dublin's SFX Centre.
It was in fact in Trinity College, downstairs in the Dining Hall (the actual venue is no longer there) on Friday 9 December 1983 at the Students Union Christmas Party. They had only two singles out at the time, the sublime Hand in Glove and This Charming Man, so it was a first time hearing most of what would become the debut album. The gig was a little underwhelming to be honest, as they were fairly insular and had yet to develop their stagecraft. Besides introducing some of the songs, there was an absence of engagement with the audience.
Show over, I had made up my mind that if anybody got up on stage I was going too. So when what turned out to be the Ents Officer climbed up, I followed. Backstage (a curtained off area sidestage) I found Morrissey on his own recovering with a towel over his head while the rest of the band were in celebratory mode drinking wine from the bottle. The conversation with Morrissey was fandom nirvana for this starstruck 17 year old. Nothing profound, just talking about the forthcoming debut album and his influences etc.
Here's signed ticket stubs from their second Dublin gig in May 1984which was at the SFX Centre: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davegkelly/8247513409

I was also at that Trinity College gig, but I think Dave's memory of where it took place is faulty. My recollection is that it was in the Arts Block foyer.
