Watching him at RAH and then Brixton was a joy, and Brixton was beyond doubt the perfect Morrissey concert. It stood up as a concert in its own right, but the introduction of 2 songs which were not played at RAH "Hand in Glove" and "November" made it even more special. Although many tears were shed when "Mexico" wasn't played;-)
Variety is almost always a good thing. When applied to setlists, it is - always.

The set list (Score:2, Interesting)
It's easy to forget that not all fans visit this site, or go to more than one or two gigs. I was in Bradford knowing that "Hand in glove" was going to be performed. A changing set list could have led to this being dropped and possible disappointment.
Ask ten thousand fans to come up with there ideal set list and each one would be different. I would never have chose to hear the new songs but by the time I went to my second gig I couldn't wait to hear them again. How quickly these tracks have become classics!
I think it's better to stick closely to the practiced songs and believe that is why the last few gigs have been so polished.

I only watch Morrissey once each tour as a rule, simply because I never want to simply turn up out of habit and, like one can become accumstomed to thinking, say "oh it was average for Moz." I prefer the event of seeing him once, good night or slightly off night for Moz, it's always wonderful. With the same set-list I'm not sure I would enjoy following him around the country quite so much. If, however, he mixed his set-list up a little more from gig to gig, I am sure I would attend every gig. The question of which songs he would play tonight, would there be a "changed my plea" or a "still ill" thrown in etc would be too much for me to bear and I'm sure I would have no choice but to attend every concert! It's not that I'd ever get bored - Morrissey is always enthralling - simply that I fear I would not love watching the same setlist each night as much as I love watching him once. I suppose it's like sex, it's wonderful but not every day - and not in the same position!!
Having said that, I broke my rule and watched him twice on this world tour. Viva Moz! Brixton was the greatest pop concert I have ever attended, by far!
And yes, I shall break the rule again if he tours again soon, because he is better than ever, "Mexico" and "Bores" were lovely and "The First of the Gang to Die" is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard ;-)

Second Athens show (Score:0)
I thing the highlight of the show was Meat is Murder where Boz got all worked up and treated his guitar quite roughly...
Overall this was a great closure to a great tour and If I'm correct I think that the guys on the stage felt the same way including Moz himself.

Sorry for posting so late, but I went out with some Moz fans from the USA, England, Belgium & some locals to see how the Greeks party and that they do! That you all that made me feel welcome. I'll post some things when I get home to Phoenix. I have to run now to catch my plane to London... maybe Moz will be on the same flight:)

The crowd was once again extatic and offered Morrissey quite a few gifts, no flowers this time.
It's sad to think the tour's over and we won't see him for a while and Morrissey and the band seemed sad to go.The two shows in Athens were truly memorable.
Thank you, Morrissey.

Saturday Night in Athens (Score:3, Interesting)
From reading the reviews and talking to fans who went to the UK shows the previous week, I wasn't sure what to expect from Moz since he did say how much he enjoyed himself at those shows. I was hoping the Athens gigs would not be anti-climatic for him. Morrissey was in a good mood for both shows, except for his mic stand... apparently, the Gagarian club went out and bought a new mic stand for Saturday's show. Morrissey made comments throughout the show on Saturday and many have been posted already. The comment made about running over Madonna with their vespas was unfortunately not true. But Morrissey riding on vespas earlier on Saturday was definitely true. According to people who have been filming the shows since Australia, they filmed Morrissey and the band riding around the streets of Athens on Saturday. There apparently is going to be a video/DVD released next year (no date given). They didn't film the Athens show, but they did interview several fans after the show. I was interviewed, but I don't think mine will make the cut.
I was the person that asked for "Mexico". Morrissey heard me and asked, HOW DO I KNOW MEXICO? At first I was in shock HE was speaking to me and I didn't know what to say! I replied, I'M FROM PHOENIX and he said, "PHOENIX?... WERE YOU THERE (at the show)?. I said, YES! Morrissey then asked me, YOU CAME ALL THE WAY FROM PHOENIX? I said, YES, JUST TO SEE YOU! It was something to that effect. Now I have to get a recording of this show!
During one of the songs (Peter help!), a lad from Leeds UK handed Morrissey a flag (St George's Cross) and he held it, waved it and wiped his face a few times with it. We were hoping he would throw that into the crowd, but instead he laid it next to the drums. They'll be pictures of that later and, hopefully, some good pictures of both shows.
Finally, someone from the crowd asked if he will come back, Morrissey replied I'M HERE! To all Greek fans, I hope Morrissey does come back to your fine city. Thank you to all that made my stay in Athens memorable! Hope to see some of you Greek fans come over to the States next year when he tours the East coast and, hopefully, the West coast too!
Adios Amigos!
