I sit here in awe of that which is Morrissey. Truly one of the best gigs I have ever been to!
quickie review of sorts (Score:2, Informative)
Moz in fine voice, crowd went nuts and he had them from the beginning of the set. After reading about the opener, I wondered how it would work. It was perfect. Performance and presentation were top notch.
A few stage invasions throughout the night, and quite a few at the end. Was hoping it would get out of control - there were a few close calls when it looked like the stage would be rushed by many.
Band's T-shirts were white tonight, but I was too far back to see what they said.
Moz referred to "Bruce Springroll" twice.
The highlight musically was "Bigmouth". The energy in the crowd seemed to go over on that one. Mentioned the song being from "The Queen Is Dad"...or was it "Dead"?
"You Know I Couldn't Last" - I read in one review that he lost the crowd on this one. The same could be said for tonight. When the song started, it seemed a lot of people left for the bathrooms. I like this song quite a bit, but I think that the verse just turned people off. The chorus however, Moz sang convincingly and with a lot of venom. I think overall it worked but may be a verse too long. Everyone applauded during the break before the last verse, and then when the verse started I could feel annoyance around me.
I'm sure someone will fill in the essentials and give a setlist proper - as well as the stage banter. I can't remember much right now other than something about the Cosby Show (which Moz did not find funny).

Chills ran down my back when How soon is now? came on. That was by far the most energetic song of the night.
All of the songs from YATQ sounded so brilliant live and I was happy to sing along.
Did anyone get audio or pictures from the show?
I can't wait to go again tomorrow!! Good night!
"What's your name? Oh, I've never heard of you. Must have been an extra from the Cosby Show." ~ Moz quote tonight

There Is A Light almost halted due to stage invasion. I ahte that. I want to hear his words, not look at you. I didn't payu to see you- I refuse to give you attention. Look at the LIve AT Dalls video, it's a shame. Give it arest won't you? I think it's sellfish.

It's a shame because that's been one of the absolute highlights in the shows I've seen so far.

Morrissey was definitely playful and very talkative. He doesn't dance really anymore though. It's like he 'half-dances' - he sort of twists, points and then pats his body. No more dancing... that was pretty disappointing. I've seen him 7 or 8 times now and this was probably my least favorite show. I don't mean to sound negative, it was a good show. The band sounded good, Morrissey's voice was good, the set list was a mix of 'best of most of.' It just wasn't anything special really. I admit I didn't have the best seats, but I was still within a good distance.
Good. That's the best descriptor I can give for this show. Not great. Not fantastic. Just an ordinary Morrissey show. My friend kept saying that Morrissey seems to be preparing for his Vegas act days... and the sad thing is, I won't be surprised if that happens soon. Time has not been kind to Morrissey. Also - I amazed... he did not come close to selling out the venue. My sister just called me and told me she was sitting in a completely empty row, with practically no one in front of her for four rows. My seats were the same way, except there were empty seats behind me and some people at the end of my row and a couple in the middle of the row. I noticed a lot of empty seats.

Amazingly, we ended up with the shirt He's wearing in these photos. If anyone's interested (and I'm sure you are), it's a Yves Saint Laurent silk shirt, size 42/17, and it smells like it was soaked in what may be Guerlain men's cologne. We're currently trying to extract DNA from the perspiration in the shirt in order to clone a MOZ ARMY. Wish us luck, and VIVA MORRISSEY.

PA cutting out (Score:1)
The house PA cut out at the end of (I think) "Now My Heart Is Full". I was at the back and we could only hear what was coming from the stage - HUGE drop in volume. I dunno what happened, but it was straightened out right before the song ended.

There was one viscious security guard last night who pryed Moz' shirt from about 6 people's hands in one piece and then scoffed off, probably to sell on eBay. Well, Moz gave it to US, didn't he? Damn meathead security man.

I think I almost cried just from sheer anticipation. I haven't listened to any music that is not by Morrissey or the Smiths since that night. I'm trying to preserve the memory.
I just wanted to say that most everyone that was in the audience was great. It was so wonderful to be around so many people with that much enthusiasm for good music in general, and especially Morrissey. I don't have a lot of friends who are really into Morrissey so it was nice to be around people who are. There was this fantastic older gentleman (I don't mean old, just older than me)a row or to in front of us, we were on the right about near the front, who was there by himself and was dancing like crazy! He was awesome. I wanted to break out dancing myself, but not that many people were so I held back.
I haven't seen any pictures from Sat. Oct. 2nd. If anyone has some I'd love to see them.

I hope that he is happy whether it is with a man or a woman. If he were to come out and say which "church" he goest to, well then that would destroy the mystery and allure that is "Morrissey."
