Steve Lacy did his best Morrissey impression during the opening night of his Oh Yeah? Tour.
The 28-year-old musician began his 27-city North American tour at the Armory in Minneapolis on Sunday night (Sept. 27), and midway through the concert he performed cover of The Smiths' 1984 deep cut, "This Night Has Opened My Eyes.”
"It's just been one of my favorite songs since I was a stoner in high school," Lacy told attendees, according to Stereogum. "It might really suck."
The song was recorded for a 1983 Peel session and never made it onto a proper studio album, although it appeared on the compilations Hatful of Hollow and Louder Than Bombs.
Co-produced by Lacy, Oh Yeah?, was released July 17 through RCA and featured SZA, Erykah Badu and Cecile Believe.
