A full on baggy invasion of the Yorkshire heartland, as Happy Mondays and friends hosted their ‘Match of the Day’ at the home of Leeds United. The gig was temporarily halted, as some nutter climbed to the top of the floodlights for a better view and a bit of a dance. The crowd obligingly chanted “jump”, and the show went on.

In 2025, Café Royal Books issued an excellent booklet of photos by Richard Davis. Back in the day nobody had a mobile phone and few of us took cameras to gigs. This is therefore a rare and marvellous memento of the day.
