Any more clues about what the walk on theme music was?
And is there an exit theme (think it was Sinatra last time wasn't it)?

Also, for the exit, I'm pretty sure that the poem just plays again.

Wardrobe note -- he had on a bad 60's banana yellow, ruffled tuxedo shirt with a brown cardigan (the latter came off within minutes). He changed for the encore into a tight black button-up.

It was very hot, the theatre is very old and lacks AC. He was constantly playing with his hair due to the sweat and was rubbing his nose a lot.
After Suedhead he said 2-3 times 'Its a hot august night in Tucson , you must be happy, you must be happy'. Then after Hairdresser he said he was flying down Speedway today.....on roller skates. Speedway is one of the big streets here & I thought for sure he was doing an intro to Speedway, but they went right into First to die.
After another new song they did a beautiful version of my favorite- Jack the ripper.The highlight of the show until the encore.
Then Maudlin, which I hate to admit here, gave me a great chance to hit the bathroom & get another beer. Like 'Everyday is like Sunday', this song is hard to pull off live. I dont get it.
Next up was 'I like you ' and the band at last looked comfortable on stage. The bassist came forward [had been standing next to drums the entire set] and Alain & Boz started smiling at each other. You could tell it was working after 1 1/2 sets. After the song he said ' that song was called' ....
crowd screams for him---'I like you' and the comic returns with- 'No, I hate you'.
I couldnt believe how much he talked betwween songs, almost every time.He really tried to hear what the crowd was saying & said 'what' about 6 times . He even started saying- Gab, Gab,Gab, Gab, before one song when it looked like he was holding the band up from starting. Very funny.
Few other things- he sang 'Brother Im a poet' at the very end of that song. On November, Boz played a clarinet [ or an oboe] for the middle part. After Crashing bores He commented on the American music scene as a bunch of crashing bores- 'Fuck em,Fuck em'. Excellent version of 'Meat is murder'. When I saw the setlist I didnt think this was a great idea, but the man pulled it off,kneeling down at the front of the stage for the last part as if he were crying. He really got the message across.
Just before 'November ' he said -' We lost it in Phoenix, but We found it in Tucson'. Then the best for last- 'There is a light that never goes out' was perfect. One of the best Smiths songs ever & one of the best live songs Ive ever heard. The crowd went crazy and sang along the entire song.Morrissey said goodbye & left it to us to finish the lyric while the band played on.
What a finish, but it seemed to me the night finished early, 2 more encores would have been nice. But whats that showbiz phrase ??
Always leave em wanting more !! Indeed.

Great gig, though. He has a fab voice and is Mr Showman Extraordinaire. Really seemed to be enjoying himself, kept the audience's attention, and got a wonderful reception. I later revised my opinion on the cardi and thought, 'Good on you for sticking to your style'. So, converted (like I wasn't already).
Does anyone know where he went afterwards? We stopped off at Congress but no sign of him. Did he perhaps hook up with Jared Leto and Cameron Diaz for a wee party? (JL had a gig in Tucson too that night, apparently).
Lastly, why the @*%! did he play Yuma? No offence, Yuma-ites, but..
