Morrissey-solo user comment - "why does he have to continually change the setlist? I want to hear the songs the people in Arizona heard! Leave the setlist same Moz, You owe it to your "true" fans."
Morrissey is damned if does, damned if he doesn't. He is, I assume, on tour to play some classics and at the same time introduce some new songs. Maybe even catch the eye of a record company. He is not on tour to appease the few who continue to bitch about having to hear the same songs at each show. There is of course a very simple solution if the setlist is bugging you. Well you know........

*tsk* *tsk* @ Joe Dorgan for packing so many people in such a crappy place!!
But beyond that Morrissey was great! I quickly forgot all these problems once he walked on stage.

Moz in EP part one (Club Vallare 9-02-02) (Score:2, Informative)
- despite hours waiting in 90+ degree heat before the show, as well as the
oven-like atmosphere within the venue. Club Vallare may have been the biggest
"alternative" venue open to promoters who organized the show - and kudos to
them for pulling it off - but the place was utterly inappropriate. It was
inhumanly crowded with no air conditioning (nor sufficient fans/air
circulation) and sub-standard sound.
That said, Moz & co. gave up a great show and it was all worthwhile in the end.
The gag for the night was his repeated references to the city as "El Peso". He
seemed to struggle with the confines of the stage, noted when he said, "I have
about three inches to move around so I feel like your average battery hen."
Being on the border, "Mexico" got big cheers from the crowd; M's comment before
the song started stated, "This song mentions this state, but it's not meant to
refer to you - it's meant to refer to everybody outside!" Afterwards he dubbed
the tune "Texico".
Fans who hurried outside to try and talk to the man afterwards were
disappointed as he was whisked away back to the hotel even before the last
notes of "There Is a Light". A few lucky people who'd staked out the hotel
post-show were blessed with a glimpse of him and a few "thank you"'s as he
tried to sneak in off the shuttle.
The El Paso Times had a photographer at the show so I can only assume a review
will run, most likely in Wednesday's paper.
Let's hope they get a few more fans (the cooling kind) for tomorrow's sold-out
gig because if they try and pack any more people into that place it's going to
spontaneously combust! Also, queue management was miserable - doors opened at
8:00 and by that time the line was completely around the block. Having arrived
just before 8, it took us two solid hours to get in the door. Either arrive
early and bake in the sun, or wait until dark and hope they have more security
checking people in to move the line faster.
Adios and buena suerte if you're headed to Vallare manana!

king cheetah, eh, well...two nights down..one more to go..theyre still a tad difficult to endure..as was the heat and the amount of people crammed into the tiny space..the heat was sickening and it seemed as if the planning for the show was poorly done..shame on them..it seemed as if the show wouldnt start because they were trying to figure out how to cram everybody into the venue (almost an 1 hr 20 min between king cheetah and morrissey)..i'd have to say the santa fe experience was a tad more pleasant..but the band rocked out just as much if not more.. the legend himself, boz, rocked out hard...and gaz, well, much to our dismay did not play rigormortis rock..
tonight's show should be a tough one too..but hopefully the band will make it worth it again..
hopefully our teacher friends and albuquerque counterparts will post a review too..(please)

gone are the days when one might read a concert revue in some obscure fanzine months later.
given the information and the baiting of expections, one may wonder if moz will (or even should) ante up.
just something for you to ponder...

I was thinking i missed something good, and maybe i did if we lived in a perfect world where 1100 people meant 1100 people.
And i don't even hear anyone saying anything about the rumored appearances of band members at the pre-show party. Either they are all jaded because they get to meet the band everyday, or maybe the band was out having fun across the border.
Supposedly the club owner was on the radio today. I could just hear that one. "hey, maaann, its sold out, but we get you in, no problem! talk to my cousin."
I really don't want to be there when the riot breaks out.
"hey, yeah, i won't be in to work for a while. I'm calling from PRISON."
oh well. if any of those british journalists ARE still following the tour, as said by morrisseytour.com, maybe they've had some sense to hold off a bit to document these dates. They show up to freaking Arizona and expect a party. It's like someone showing up to colorado in July with skiing equipment.
Then again, from everything they've said that i've read, it looks like they know as much about hispanola as they would a family of Eskimos living in Lappland. Not that i'm queen of the know it alls in that area, either, but at least i've actually talked to a few in my lifetime.
