"Please excuse me if this has been mentioned a few times already.... It seems like Morrissey will flirt with or book an event, get alot of free publicity for his new and old CDs in papers, on the radio and TV in whatever city or country these festivals are...only to pull out as the date gets near(Spain!). The promotors don't have to issue refunds if there are other bands on the bill, and they benefit from the initial bump in sales when Morrissey was first added to the ticket. So everyone wins except the fans, right?
My interest in this tour has just hit an all time low. I'm not gonna end up sitting on some non-refundable airline tickets to El Paso like some sucker"

Morrissey is unable to perform at KROQ's Inland Invasion today as scheduled. He was seen this morning at 11 am by Dr Joe Sugarman who diagnosed him with sinusitis, acute laryngitus and a high fever and advised that he not attempt to speak for the next 48 hours at a minimum. Morrissey is very disappointed and sends his apologies to his LA fans and friends at KROQ. He wants to make this up to everyone asap, plans are already being made and we hope to make an announcement next week on KROQ.
Please hold on to your ticket stubs, they will be your admission to a make up show with Morrissey to be announced in the future. Keep listening to KROQ and check KROQ.Com for details.

Arrived early to the gig to catch The Walkmen and Death Cab. We then moved our way to the mainstage to enjoy a great set by The Killers. Ian Brown followed opening with my favorite Stone Roses song...I wanna be adored. I was on cloud nine, then Mr. Brown burst my bubble by announcing that Morrissey would not be playing. The crowd started booing him and he said (paraphrasing) "No, really...Morrissey is not playing and later when you find out you'll say hey that guy was right!" Ian Brown is quite the cocky son of a bitch so I wasn't sure to take him serious, but then after the next song he announced it again! He said something like "They told me to annouce it, Morrissey is not playing...I like Morrissey...we should play a Morrissey tune..." Talk about a buzz kill! The rest of the set was shit (probably disturbed by my mood). Anyway, after Ian Brown was booted off stage (that's another story in itself) a rep from "Morrissey's camp" came out and said Moz was sick and highly apologetic and we would all get a free concert at a later date. My disappointment lasted a bit, but I am frankly never suprised by his last minute no-shows.
Devo and Franz Ferdinand finished off the day by playing FANTASTIC sets. I got to see a lot of great music today so I really can't complain much, especially if Morrissey reshedules like they promised. At least I didn't have to sit through Billy Idol!

Lollapalooza cancelled
Went to Benicassim, cancelled
San Diego cancelled (november 3rd)
Inland Invasion cancelled (glad I didn't go)...
So he might really be ill this time, quite understandable; but Benicassim and San Diego cancellations were never clearly explained. This year makes me no stranger to Morrissey's cancellations, unfortunately I'm getting used to this; good thing my trip to Spain had lots of other good reasons to get there aside from Moz at Benicássim alone. Some of you might think this as somehow insensible, but, we should get another favorite artist. Maybe someone like Marc Bolan, Ramones or whoever is dead, dead artists cannot dissapoint us anymore...
And by the way, I'm not buying one more copy of You Are The Quarry.

Well we all know that Morrissey cancelled at the last minute- but the good news is he will play a FREE show for those who had tix for todays show.
My pix from the day:
http://groups.msn.com/KROQ-Inland-Invasion-4/shoebox.msnw
Here is my quick review of the bands:
Side Stage:
11:30 The Walkmen - Music sounded pretty good - but the lead singer's voice was a bit screechy. It got better later
12:25 Missing Persons- loved them
1:20 Death Cab For Cutie - great Seattle band
2:15 A Flock of Seagulls - the sound check took too long- and they played too many obscore songs- but the 3 hits they played (including the massive closer "I Ran") brought the house down
Main Stage:
2:00 Muse - missed them
2:45 X - caught the end of the last song only. sounded fine
3:30 The Killers - not as good as was hyped
4:15 Ian Brown/Stone Roses - sounded high or drunk or both. A few of his Stone Roses songs were on key- but mostly he was off. Had the misfortune of having to announce that Morrissey cancelled to the stunned audience. They cut his show short.
5:00 Tears for Fears - sounded great after a false start with no sound check.
5:55 Devo - amazing
7:00 Franz Ferdinand - awesome
7:55 Billy Fucking Idol - he was the star tonight- played an extra-long set and thrilled the crowd
9:30 Siouxsie - a bit boring set but looked and sounded beautiful

The sound on the side stage was horrible. I've heard Death Cab a few other times at different venues and they are an awesome live band. There was tons of feedback and other related issues for them as well as the other bands. It was a diservice to the find musicians that performed on the side stage. With the exception of Ian Brown and Siouxie all the other bands were great. I am a Franz fan and was very impressed with the live performance. Billy Idol was fucking amazing!
As for all of the other posts about the venue, etc. these people obviously need to learn how to see a concert and buy tickets. The set list was available before the concert. You didn't have to go all day (i.e., be in the heat) if you only wanted to see Morrissey. Furthermore, with the advent of ebay and other online vendors you have the option of buying a wide range of seats offerred at an array of prices-quit your bitching. I have to second the guy from Boston that reminds those of us lucking enough to live in SoCal that we get to see so many bands that never go to many othere cities in the US. Yes, it's hot, but not as hot as it could have been. If you plan well it's not even an issue. Coachella was much, much hotter, but you didn't hear all the moaning and groaning at that concert. Perhaps Morrissey doesn't show up to many of his concerts because of, what appears from these posts, to be a lackluster collective of fans.
