Yes, it is Morrissey waving his placard around during either 'The Queen is Dead', or possibly 'Panic' at The Festival of the 10th Summer.
I thought people might like to see the stage in all its glory with the big '10' banners.
Other memories include a drunken Bill Grundy- you can hear this hilarious speech and a section of The Fall's set including their intro tape and 'Cruisers Creek' on the album 'Seminal Live'.
"I have never seen five thousand yobbos in my life...I promise you I am only going to speak to you now for a few seconds ( cheers from audience ) but a bit later I am going to tell you about how I made the fortune of Punk Rock...since I think that music starts with Johann Sebastien Bach and ends with Franz Schubert, you're going to have to listen, a bit later about MY interview on television, the first they'd ever had...Bad Language! See you later..."
