As mostly posted in the forums (before this thread was unlocked)It has been years since I attended a Morrissey concert. No matter what drama occurred in that interim, Morrissey made of me a true believer again: in his voice, in his heart, and in his philosophies (I am still not sold on the new songs).
My impressions:
Good and gargantuan sonic experience.
Solid vocals throughout.
Audience seemed less distracted than at other shows.
Kristeen was fairly well received (and not too bad either).
Morrissey was not nearly as chatty as other shows-possibly because few given the mic stayed on topic.
One early successful stage invasion and a torrent during last song (Still Ill).
Meat Is Murder almost too devastating plopped in middle of setlist.
TONS of teeshirts being sold (and other cool stuff too).
Gorgeous venue. Have not seen a rival.
Loved hearing "Maladjusted".
Was quite surprised by Fatty and Ouija; though, as reported before, the setlist was like Santa Fe. No FotGtD.
Set order could stand to be retooled.
Fans near us were friendly cheerful and casual.As someone who got to be on stage with Morrissey back in 1999, watching gentle, driven stage invaders is a joy.
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.
