“I was there. I remember that night particularly as being the first time I was ill through having had a bit too much to drink (I was 17 years old).”
— Steve Clark, audience recollection supplied by the user

“86 rather than 96 i would say... If it's the gig i went to they were great but there were only a handful of people in attendance rattling round the room. Happy Mondays were supposed to support originally I believe, think they may have even been printed on the ticket.”

The year, small audience and possible original support act are recorded as recollections. The poster and extracted source text remain the event's primary date evidence.
