Apollo Night 3 (Score:3, Informative)
the band seemed tighter all around and Morrissey was not nearly as chatty as he was on nights 1 and 2. maybe he had a date tonight...
the setlist changed a bit again:
The First Of The Gang To Die / Hairdresser On Fire How Could Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel? / Don't Make Fun of Daddy's Voice / Shoplifters of the World Unite / Subway Train [into...] Everyday Is Like Sunday / Now My Heart is Full / A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours / All The Lazy Dykes / Such A Little Thing Makes Such A Big Difference / I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday / No One Can Hold A Candle To You / Jack The Ripper / I'm Not Sorry / Irish Blood, English Heart // There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

Notes to the normal setlist:
Songs done tonight - Shoplifters (done in the main set), Now My Heart is Full, I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday, A Rush And A Push, There is A Light (as the encore), Jack the Ripper
Songs Not performed tonight: Headmaster Ritual (Please do this tomorrow!), World Is Full Of Crashing Bores, I Like You, Hand In Glove.
Please please forgive me, but what is "Subway" exactly? Is it a cover or a Morrissey original that just isnt recorded yet? The reaason I ask is that before the vocals start you can sing the lyrics to My Love Life right over the top perfectly! Anyone know?
And isn't Don't Make Fun Of Daddys Voice amazing???? I can't believe this isn't on the record! It could have been a single!

Night 3 (Score:2, Informative)
David Johansen was a lot of fun again tonight and seemed to get a pretty good crowd response.
No "I Like You" tonight and no "Hand In Glove" or "The World Is Full of Crashing Bores."
Instead, we got treated to three excellent additions: "Shoplifters Of The World Unite," "Now My Heart Is Full," and a new song, "I Have Forgiven Jesus." I don't have to tell you, but "Shoplifters" was an incredible crowd pleaser.
"Don't Make Fun of Daddy's Voice" is so much fun. I have no idea where this song came from, but Morrissey says it's a new one. It does not appear on the upcoming album, though. Possible b-side?
The encore was "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" tonight. A much better choice than "Hand In Glove" in my opinion. The band walked off stage and put their instruments down one by one (a la Roxy Music) toward the end of the song, until it was just Mikey, the keyboardist, playing that beautifully sublime keyboard part.
Oh, and Morrissey threw his shirt into the crowd TWICE tonight! I think he was really pleased with tonight's show. Heaven knows the crowd was more than pleased.
Can't wait til tomorrow! The Shins will be opening up and happyland will be joining me.
Was it just me or was Dean a little more reserved tonight? He fuckin rules.

"Welcome to your third insallment."
"Are you here to see Ozzy Osbourne?" I *love* Kelly Osbourne. (I don't really.)
"Don't make fun of my weight." (Before "Don't make fun of Daddy's Voice.)
"I have a really bad chest. I'm sorry."
"Julia, promise me you'll get your hair cut tomorrow. Will you let me do it for you? I'll take a blowtorch to it."
"Tomorrow night we're playing at Shea stadium. (We'll be the only one's there; the stadium will be empty, but we'll be there.")
"Really, you don't have to stand." (To standing ovation.)
"Oh stop it." (To clapping.)
"Thank you. There was one person in the back who didn't clap; I'm really embarassed. (I'm not really.) (Well, maybe a little.)"
When Morrissey came out he looked a bit bland compared to other nights, but after he took off his jacket he had a great beige rockabilly shirt on. He changed this shortly after for a black one, which sailed into the crowd, and finally for a pristine white one for the encore, with sleeve buttons left open. He opened his rockabilly shirt to flash his nipple once; he also had on dog tags.
He took a few notes from audience members and folded them up and put them in his pocket, and then took them out again when he sang "written words, on paper, can you write."
Introduced the band, "and in the wings...Boz" "and never in the wings...Gary" ... "and with wings ... Dean-0" (whereupon the drummer flopped his arms like an angel) ... then he ran out of word play and said and "wings wings ... Alain".... and again "wings wings wings...Mikey."
After singing "most people keep their brains between their legs" he said, "Maybe it's not really such a bad thing after all to keep your brains between your legs. Maybe I'm just a slower learner." After TIALTNGO he sang the words "thank you." I love you" to the music, and then said "God bless.

David Johansen was entertaining, especially "Lonely Planet Boy" and the last song, but I was hoping he'd play some of his country-blues stuff. I understand how that a Morrissey crowd might not've hopped to that, but still.
Does anybody know ANY of the songs that were played before Moz went on? I'd greatly appreciate it, 'cause I loved 'em! Better than listening to Under the Influence by far.
As for Moz himself... [crumples on the floor and dies happily]
"I'm Not Sorry" and "All the Lazy Dykes" dragged a bit, Moz is continuing his irritating theme of some lackluster album tracks, phenomenal B-sides (first "He Cried" in place of "Lost" on Maladjusted and now these in place of "Don't Make Fun of Daddy's Voice"!)
the rest was flawless, beautiful. I said I didn't have the words but those don't work that well. //end gushing
ps. ONLY Morrissey could have gotten me to pay $30 for a tee-shirt, ever

Fantastic show, but that frizzy-haired girl... (Score:2, Funny)
However, was anyone here against the railing, on the left side? There was this unbelieveably annoying girl with black frizzy hair who screamed the most inane and vulgar stuff throughout the show.
"Morrissey, I love you, you motherfucker!"
"You have a nice ass, motherfucker!!"
She would also pump her fists with those rock-and-roll devil signs. It was so obnoxious. She was screaming lyrics at the top of her lungs the entire show. It was like Fran Drescher doing Morrissey karaoke.
At one point, even Moz got fed up and started making fun of her. He asked her if she was supposed to be at the Ozzy Osbourne show and then called her Kelly Osbourne (to which she replied by screaming "Fuck you!")
Just wanted to know if anyone else was around this girl, or if this girl posted here. If so, please jump off a cliff and never go to another Morrissey show. Or if you do, take some tranquilizers before you come.
Thank you and goodnight.

Best Morrissey Show....Go See Him!! (Score:2, Informative)
Morrissey seems to get better with age. His voice is absolutely, unequivocally, perfectly INCREDIBLE. He's very charismatic. Boz, Alain, Gary, Dean and the keyboard guy were amazingly tight and really rocking out. The keys and synths make a huge difference in the overall effect of the songs. The sound was nice and loud and crispy, but not overpowering or annoying at all. The views in the Apollo Theater are excellent.
I really like some of Moz's new stuff, especially "First Of The Gang To Die", "I Have Forgiven Jesus" and of course "Irish Blood, English Heart"....those are really quintessential Morrissey style songs and destined to be classics.
As for Morrissey's back catalog, he played my favorite all-time-- "Now My Heart Is Full" and I was floored, blown away. Also, "A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours" was fucking awesome. "Hairdresser On Fire", "Everyday Is Like Sunday" and "I Know It's Gonna Happen Sunday" were perfect, and I swear, if you closed your eyes you'd think it was Moz in 1990 or something....superior man, I say.
I was a little surprised he played "Such Little Things Make Such A Big Difference"....it was performed to perfection, but something else from the Bona Drag era, like "Picadilly Palare" or "Dissapointed" would have really sent me flying.
Morrissey is the GREATEST! A Gentleman and a Scholar. I salute you!!

It's not Margi Clarke - it's Josie Jones. From a 1991 MM interview with Pete Wylie:
"I did the Big Hard Excellent Fish single (last year's indie hit "Imperfect List"). I wrote it, I told Josie (Jones) to do the talking, and I played all the stuff on it. That was one of the biggest buzzes, doing something that people wouldn't expect you to be capable of."

The Band!! (Score:1)
did anyone notice Boz was playing a gituar that was shaped like a "tommy gun" for the first time tonight?? that was dope!!! if you are going friday look out for it! also after the encore, the band exit was absoloutely incredible. Each member "bowed out" while playing the music. Alain first-just stopped playing, walked stage center and bowed, then left with huge applause from all!! and so on. All of this happened while the music only for "there is a light.." was being played. Next was Boz, then Gary, then Dean just stopped drumming stood up and walked out for the same reception! all the while Mikey is still playing the keyboards. After a moment he played a few more chords and ended the song and walked out-handed the set list to someone in the front, bowed and left! this was simply briliant. for those of you who went for just that night, this was a real treat!! My expaination does it no justice at all really.
