jUST got back from the show, AMAziNg!! (Score:0)
old classic- "I did it my way"
The Morrissey part of the show was too good! I didnt think Moz could top the last show I attended which was the Santa B show.
ONce the band finished "there is A light that never goes out" many got up and seemed as if they left like I did, not too sure since many moz fans still hung outside the Pond chatting a bit and smoked.
I dont have the setlist sorry! but we all know its the same, although I have to see which and if he left out songs since he only was given an hour too perform.
All the boys looked good, and rested or was I sitting too too far?? well I was on the floor which wasnt too shabby!
See you in San Diego!!
hell yeah! now that was a show (Score:0)
morrissey took his time as usual to come out but once he did it was amazing the whole arena went wild, and believe me the audience was huge!
very early on in the setlist a guy got on stage and bearhugged moz who replied with a simple thank you.
morrissey also asked us (his family) to watch Kilborn again tonight because they would be playing the following song which was everyday is like sunday.
basically thats how the show went lots and lots of energy from both the band and the audience.
a definite huge moz fanbase representing ,i did however receive a few crooked eyes from those sporting the Jaguares tshirts.hey much love to all of you!! the show was bomb!!

what happened to the days of the incessant line of fans paying proper homage?
where were the flowers?
he's still there for us, why aren't we for him?
let's do a better job this Sunday shall we?
a word of caution - unlike other venues, they actually kicked me out of the pond. i, of course, went straight to my car, changed my shirt, grabbed a hat, bought another ticket and made it back just in time for the start of "November Spawned a Monster."
Floor Tickets - $150
Second Ticket after you get kicked out - $75
Hugging Moz for perhaps one last time... PRICELESS

Thanks for the kind replies, truth be told, i felt the incredible energy of the crowd this time (which is normally muffled by the presence of the Man himself) - but let's do remember that it's about Moz, not about me.
i think he wouldn't mind a play by play, though:
i had tickets on the floor but before Moz came on I noticed that there were all kinds of empty seats just (stage) left of the stage.
i nonchalantly made my way over and, to my complete surprise and joy, it was only about a 5-ft leap from those seats (section 208 or 209, i think) to the speakers - and no security within 3 or 4 yds of me. i thought, don't these guys know any better???
i waited until security was distracted, which was about halfway through Suededhead (i think...it's mostly a blur, i'm even getting chills remembering as i type).
i took the leap of faith and there i was.
my heart stopped.
i almost passed out.
i managed to muster the strength for a hug.
i heard him say "thank you."
then "a heartless hand on my shoulder - a push - and it was over..." (sadly, no alabaster crashing down).
Boy Afraid - if you send me that picture, i will be eternally indebted. this is my email address:

well, back to Kilborn, they're about to rerun Moz... and so ends a PERFECT night.

I was on the floor, and didn't have a "great" view, but it was cool.
I hated standing next to a group of Jaguares fans that kept yelling out "culero" throughout the whole show!!! Extremely annoying!
We left right after Morrissey finished his set.
A bunch of Moz fans did the same.
I hope Morrissey realizes that certain fans, don't mix well. Oh well, I have much better seats at the San Diego show. Hopefully everything goes well there. Can't wait!!!

i also must say i wasnt crazy about the venue. there was no pit and the barricades started like 6 feet from the stage making it virtually impossible for one to touch moz (unless your name is leo and you're sneaky and cool like that). i also got screwed over with my tix. i got them from ticketmaster and while i was choosing seats, i asked the chick if they were limited view. she said they werent and i took her word on it. lo and behold, i get my ticket and it says in smallish print "limited view." bastards! i was basically sitting right off the right side of the stage, perpendicular to it. why they would sell such crappy seats is beyond me. it didnt really matter though because i accidentally sat in the wrong seat anyway until "speedway" at which point i was redirected.
the only cool thing about my actual seat is that i had a good view of the area right offstage and got to watch people come and go. i saw gary day come out and i waved (and grinned like the dork that i am) and he actually smiled and waved back! alain came out too and again, i grinned and waved and he waved and gave me the peace sign (not the backwards V, you evil-minded people - i know the difference).
one last thing, i actually kind of liked jumbo. i dont know spanish, but musically, it had a good feel. jaguares, i wasnt so crazy about. they were very good musically, but i obviously cant comment on the lyrics. for my purposes, it was an instrumental concert and i hate instrumentals. also, i dont really understand why people try to say that morrissey and jaguares are similar. their styles are very different and some of my latino friends who dont kiss jaguares'ass have told me that the lyrics bear little resemblance. ah well. one last thing that no one has mentioned is that after jaguares, there was a mariachi band. and that's when i left. it just got a little too latin for me. dont get me wrong, my grandma is mexican, but it was like "if you're not mexican, get the hell out."
thanks for reading my rants people.

2) the shirts were a lot better this time around. i got a really campy one that shows morrissey eating an icecream sandwich and over him, the word "yummy" is scrawled. hurrah!
3) all those people who say morrissey is no longer a vegetarian are retards. not only were stickers being sold that said "i want you to go vegetarian" but morrissey actually said, while introducing "meat is murder," "i think you have all noticed how all the most intelligent, nicest people are vegetarians..."

Regardless of what people think, there are actually some of us out there who are *huge* fans of BOTH Moz and Jaguares.
Of course they aren't the same type of music, but limiting yourself to one genre of music is a boring thing in my eyes. I would've given anything to see them together. But unfortunately, Morrissey won't be joining Jaguares on their stop here in Chicago. For the people that *did* stay to see Jaguares without knowing them--kudos for opening your minds to a different flavor of music. To me, Morrissey and Saul are gods.
Feel lucky people for actually getting that oportunity to check 'em out.

Morrissey/Jaguares/mariachis (Score:1, Interesting)
I enjoyed Jaguares, but I thought their live sound was a lot more conventional than their studio sound. (I suppose this is inevitable.) The crowd was indeed rowdy, and I got hit with several lobs of flying beer, but for me this was a trivial distraction. The enthusiasm of the fans was a force to be reckoned with, and I found myself wishing that Morrissey had received similar attention. I missed the dangerous electricity of The Smiths¡¯ days. Despite what individual concertgoers may say about what they endure, the present generation of Moz fans is generally rather well mannered and not very aggressive.
My mind was well and truly blown by the end of the concert. I got up and prepared to leave, but my companion alerted me to the roadies preparing the stage for another performance. I hoped that it might be some sort of Saul Hernandez and Morrissey duet, but what eventually transpired was much more radical. A band of mariachis took the stage and did several numbers, to the delight of most of the audience. It was like a trip backwards in time, from the 80¡¯s (the time of Morrissey¡¯s earliest material) to the 70¡¯s (the era revisited by Jaguares in their live sound) to the past of our parents and grandparents. Would the audience for one of those contemporary retro bands (The Strokes, The White Stripes, etc.) have put up with a real blast from the past? I doubt it. Nobody in the crowd seemed to mind one bit that this "old fashioned" music ended the evening. The squabbles between partisans of one style of music over another were silenced by a whole audience yelling "VIVA!" The evening was an unprecedented example of some sort of crazy historical continuity expressing itself, and I must say I was incredibly moved by the experience.

the reason people yelled culero with morrissey was because they wanted him to return and sing more songs not because they thought he was an asshole. also from what i saw, there were more morrissey fans than jaguares so i don't know where all this shit about jaguares fans outnumbering morrissey fans. in the area where i was sitting alone everyone had a moz tee-shirt on. i then later went to buy a drink and all the people outside were wearing morrissey shirts; i only saw a couple of jaguares fans.
stop complaining and if your virgin ears can't handle hearing the word culero then don't go to another mixed event.
oh and ladies, remember that bras are ladies best friends and we should not forget to wear one. it was disgusting seeing all the jello jiggling around. i mean come on, it's not like you are actually going to meet any of the band members and marry one of them.
VIVA MOZ!
