The stage rushers at the end were cute but it appeared like the guards weren't sure what to do. It seemed like the message must have gotten out late to be kind to the kids because they were pretty harsh over on the right side of the stage but less so on the left and then they had a quick conference and the policy seemed to change. Whatever, if only I were younger, I would have been up there with 'em.

Decided to opt for a beer or two rather than watch Jaguares, I'll check them out on Saturday at Berkeley.
Santa Rosa... wow... well there wasn't a bad seat in the house, this venue was tiny. Probably the smallest I've ever been to besides small Berkeley punk dives. There I sat in the 3rd to last row and waited patiently for the show to begin.
Every Morrissey show I've seen since my first in 92 has been phenomenal, and this was no exception. The only difference maybe that Morrissey seamed so much more comfortable and at ease, spoke a hell of a lot more to us all, and was quite a bit more active than that last time I saw him in 99.
The setlist was much the same as others have described. Even though you know what he's going to play, it doesn't stop the excitement building up inside you as you hear the first chords of your favourite songs.
Meat Is Murder... I always forget how powerful this song is until I hear it live. Truly brilliant.
The crowd was friendly, respectful, and beautiful. It doesn't get much better, really.
A couple of Morrissey comments:
(Hall and Oates are playing the same venue soon and the "program" handed out to everyone came with a fatty ad for their show)
"In case you were wondering, we're NOT Hall and Oates"
(After a song, I honestly can't remember which)
"Sorry for all the crackling, I have Petaluma throat"
(One fan was trying to communicate to Morrissey, which he couldn't hear properly, to which he replied with an American-ish accent)
"I can't hear you, take your teeth out, as I always say"
Sorry I don't have more info, as it is, Moz shows always seem like a blur to me, ending much too quickly.
It was great to see people making it on stage. The front doors to the venue had a posting "Anyone who goes beyond the barricade in front of the stage will be ejected and not readmitted" Sounds like they heard about the reputation of his shows!
See you on Saturday!

Morrissey 'FANS' Are the Most Vile Arseholes ever! (Score:1, Interesting)
So what are Morrissey fans? Are they gentle and kind? Are they a bit more sensitive to the needs of their fellow human being? Caring? Cultured? Altruistic? Considerate? Sadly, I thought so as well...
Last night my wife and I attended the Morrissey show at the Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa California. When I first heard that he was on tour again, I was overjoyed, as it had been far too many years since I'd had the divine bliss of seeing the man in person. In fact, for my wife of five years, this was to be her first show!
So you see, my wife is handicapped. The rigors of most concerts are much too much of a tribulation for her, as she would find it impossible, not to mention extremely painful to stand for the duration of a full length show, LET ALONE A FEW MINUTES, even with the assistance of her cane. For this very reason, she has to stay at home and avoid the hassle of the usual GENERAL ADMISSION concert, and remain in the background or not go at all when these shows come around. It had been a lifelong dream of hers to go to a Morrissey show. (well a good decade at least) It had been her wish to finally see the man that fills her heart with such unbounded happiness. It was for this reason that I was overjoyed to learn that Morrissey had booked a RESERVED SEATING show at the Luther Burbank Center.
After a long search, and at GREAT EXPENCE, I managed to acquire two front row seats to the concert. What could have been better than this? A front row seat to a reserved seating show to see the most wonderful man in history! A full unfettered view for my wife and I. She would not have to tremble in fear with thought of a rowdy hooligan’s flailing body sending her to the emergency room once again...and she would see him, with no one impeding her view!
As the opening act played, we saw the band clearly and without obstruction. Collectively we smiled as we imagined how wonderful Morrissey would look from this vantage point.
It was sometime after the opening act finished that my heart sank. First, in a small trickle, then soon in a maddening push, the area directly in front of my wife and I (who did manage to pay for and acquire front row tickets, mind you) was filled with the heaving masses of people who thought their view of the show was more important than my wife’s. Furthermore, despite protestations from myself and security, the maddening throng remained in place, belligerent and unmoved by our empty cries. One particularly gentle chap told me to "Fuck Off!"
As the lights went out, and the crowd screamed in a mighty uproar, my wife sat dazed in speechless horror. After a lifetime of waiting and missed oppurtunities due to hospitalization, instead of seeing Morrissey, she was treated to the view of your ass. Several swaying, sweaty, gyrating asses, all keeping time to the man on the stage.
She sat there and cried all night as not one Morrissey fan would return to their rightful seat (you know, the one printed on your ticket), or even move an inch so that she could see the man that she had come to see. After so many years of waiting and hoping, YOU broke her poor tiny heart.
If you were there last night, in the front, selfishly blocking the view of my poor wife, please realize that it is not others in this world who are vile and disgusting. Take a good long look in the mirror, for it is you.

Post Show Caravan... NOT! (Score:1)
Afterwards, there were a bunch of us all driving on 101 with the bus (since yes, there were fans who had driven well over an hour to get to Santa Rosa and were going that direction anyways) and what else are you going to do but enjoy the unique experience of caravanning with Moz? It was fun til they pulled over and security told us not to follow them anymore. So we had to pretend we weren't on the same freeway as them just to get home. That's fan gratitude for ya.
I guess we know Morrissey's hourly rate - spend $42 on a ticket and get two hours of his time. Such is the life of a rock star!
