No, I mean the one at Manchester Free Trade Hall

No, I wasn't there either...

But Wilson, Mark E Smith, Morrissey, Joy Division, Buzzcocks, and many others were.

Oh, and I wasn't aware of the Situationist thing (or even heard of it) until I went to an exhibition in Boston, US in 1990 and subsequently read Griel Marcus' book "Lipstick Traces", which traces all the connections. Well worth a read.
