Nice evening - little bit smaller venue (Score:0)
Yes they played quiet slow but it seems to be like this on every show of the tour - don't you remember people complaining about too fast versions in some previous tours ?
I think the crowd was less excited than in the olympia which is too bad but the 2/3 drunken yelling brits were not there so the mood was less agressive somehow - i'm not sure i'm clear enough
Before ther is a light Morrissey quoted himself in "rubber ring" ...
Best show in town (Score:2, Insightful)
The band plays well (except IWTOICH which they spoil each time now. I dont know why. Maybe it is the place as an opening, maybe they are just warming but i think that's the real disaster). Meat is murder was good but as i see it 4 times now, it sounds different to me. A bit cliché and overplayed with this dead cow attitude and Boz ridiculous tip toe to approach Moz and kill him with this saw-guitar.
Anyway a great show. A great great one. And this accept no contradiction.
There is still this attitude in the audience (i heard people talk when out) to say "that's was better before. " Before what ? Not one in a hundred knew the Smiths live. "The band is s***, real bullies". Which is now deeply rooted in people's minds. It is a traditionnal criticism which is unfair and doesnt stick to the facts. They are not brilliant but dont mistreat the songs and play with energy. Spencer is pale. Boz dances like a queen. Dino is great and Alan is as handsome as ever but a bit static on his righ side. That's a supporting band. A good one. Moz is the one who is looked at. The one we focus on. And he is majestic. I think young fans are surprised and disappointed to see him move that way (i mean the way he moves with the micro, those Quasimodo mimics and stuffs) which IS the way he always danced. That's a pity.

I was a little bit disappointed there was no Union Jack in the audience especially we he sang "Irish blood,...."
Before "Meat is murder" he repeated three times "Charcuterie, Charcuterie, Charcuterie !!!!" pointing his hand like a gun .......
"Hand in glove " was perfect !!!!!!!!
"The first of the Gang ...." was really powerfull and well sung .
It was a great show, too short for me but you know we all could spend a night long listening this charming man !!!!!!!
There is a light that will NEVER goes out !!!!!!
God bless you Moz !!!!!!!

The singer from the band, Martin McCann is such a nice and funny guy. He always made jokes with the audience and the security guards in the first row during the gig and when the band played the last song, he came out with a sign and sprayed with black color "A la prochaine! Merci!" on it, put the sign on the stage and hided him behind it.
Then he put on a mask (looked like the "Phantom of the Opera"-mask and moved slowely from behind this sign to the top of it and smiled to the audience. Incredible!
The band sold their new CD in the foyer after the end of the show and all of the guys was very gentle.
In Paris there was a sticker on the gong, with "Paris a light, that never goes out" Someone cried to Moz "Morrissey makes graves" and Morrissey asked back, why he does make graves. Alain answered, that this sounds not very nice.
I have seen Morrissey at all tours since he toured from 1991 and I think, he was never in such a good mood as on this tour. He spoke so much with the audience, made jokes and played all the songs very powerful. He told the audience, that he lived in Germany and was the singer of the German band "Die Schmitz's".
Now I'm looking forward for London's Brixton Academy next week for my last Moz concert this year (but I'm hoping, that this will be not the last one in my life) and I'm praying for a new CD next year. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, LET US GET WHAT WE ALL WANT!!!

such a pity to be a "hardcore" or "integrist" fan (Score:0)
First of all, I'm french, sorry if my english is not very fluent. I think this "England for the english" attitude completely "childish and silly", really narrow-minded.
Morrissey deserves a better audience than these so-called "hardcore fans" (what is an "integrist fan" ? Such a pity to be one !).
Fortunately, there's a majority of people who REALLY like the guy, but they don't write here...
I was in the front of the stage, and I really enjoyed myself. The songs were maybe a little slower, but it also allowed the band (I like these guys too) to be more precise and to play better than at the Olympia (and remember the awful live renditions of '91 - I heard them on bootlegs of course, I'm just 27).
There was a lot of emotion last night, less pressure ; the audience reacted beautifully to some songs, "Jack the ripper" for example.
Kisses to everyone who don't feel "blasé". Enjoy !

I just wanted to reply quicly to this charming "moneychanges" comment on how the people who don't get Morrissey's jokes in english should stay at home.
Right.
Very nice.
I am french, have been a fan of the Smiths from 1984 til they broke up and followed Morrissey's carreer since then, but as I am almost 30, I am not so "faithful" as I used to be. I like the guy, always did, but he's not some kind of God anymore...
You have absolutely no idea what it is to grow up in a french provincial town and to discover Morrissey's songs and to have to make the effort of the translation in order to really dig deep into what he says and what he means. I suppose that makes me more a fan than you are tralalala... Because you can't really be a fan if you don't understand his lyrics, right ?
Believe me, I'm sure many french people DO understand his lyrics AND his jokes...
On another hand, I'm sure Moz would not be so happy to only have english fans coming at his gigs. Oasis recently played in Paris and there were two thirds of english people attending... Very sad.
Morrissey has always hated France and particularly Paris, but I'm sure he probably knows his sells rate in this country, and he probably knows that some people here do understand the importance of being earnest, the delicacy of five o'clock tea and what happens on saturday night, sunday morning. Non ?
Un fan français un peu vénère, là.
