Show was AMAZING. My 10th Moz show. Some thoughts:- Crazy queue outside venue, some people apparently waiting since noon or so.
- Kristeen Young was excellent. I don't get people's venom towards her. Crowd overall was pretty decent towards her tonight.
- Morrissey in very good spirits and of excellent voice. Sound at Congress Theater was not bad actually.
- EILS sounded better than any live rendition I have heard before. They really have it arranged perfect now.
- Good setlist, seemed a bit longer than recent lists posted, maybe due to postponement of original show date or the Walker's hometown of Chicago??
- Maladjusted and Lazy Dykes are two personal favorites and was thrilled to hear them.
- Meat is Murder was INTENSE. Visuals were really intense and upsetting of course, but musically they played it so heavy and fierce like that song needs to be. Just really incredible.
- I Know It's Over made me teary eyed...really incredible.
- Crowd was good and fairly enthusiastic, but not crazily so...UNTIL the encore! All hell broke loose, people flying towards the stage, some with success, others not so much. Security seemed surprised. A couple people made it to Moz, then they were coming from all sides, and Mozzer was whisked away...but the vocals for the song were completed by that point, so we didn't miss any of the song really. Crowd got really rabid as soon as encore started!
My 10th Morrissey show, and I would definitely rate it as one of the best I've seen.
- Ian C.
The Smiths were an English alternative rock band, formed in Manchester in 1982. Based on the song writing partnership of Morrissey (vocals) and Johnny Marr (guitar), the band also included Andy Rourke (bass) and Mike Joyce (drums). Critics have called them the most important alternative rock band to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s.
