Hooray!

He played To me you are a work of art, a cover of a song by Magazine (I think) and In the future when all's well. He did not play Trouble Loves Me or I Have Forgiven Jesus. The setlist was also changed around a bit.

Not the best Moz-consert i´ve been to, sad to say my hometown was not very appreciate of the man. Not to messy and frankly Morrissey seemed a bit of and not to impressed. But then again i guess he is not easily impressed. The performance was faultless but without that extra something that you get when the audience is realy on.

I saw the show in Stockholm but unfortunately I'm (still) ill so I couldn't travel to Malmö today as I had planned. Anyways... I think the setlist is remarkably dull this far. Almost all of the songs that I had been looking forward to hearing have been taken off the setlist (you can imagine which ones). It now consists of a couple of The Smiths numbers, YATQ and of course nearly the entire ROTT, as he is promoting it.
But... of course he can do whatever songs he wants to and he plays in his own league, so to speak. I just found his concerts more interesting years ago. Even though they're still good. Good that he chose the Magazine song A Song From Under The Floorboards.

Did he really play A Song From under The Floorboards? If so - fuckin brilliant!

I'm still uploading photos from the concert, but (in time) they'll all be available here: http://www.23hq.com/steffen/morrissey [23hq.com]

I thought the crowd was quite enthusiastic (half of them probably Danish) and Moz was in reasonably good shape but with regards to voice and appearance.

However, compared to Gothenburg (the last who I saw) he had removed three of the best songs (Trouble Loves Me, Reader meets author and I have forgiven Jesus) and replaced them with decidedly poorer choices: In the future when all's well, To me you are work of art and that new Magazine cover (which was actually really good). The order of the songs was also switched around.

So all in all it could have been better. It's a shame that he now completely ignores his pre-Quarry solo career.

The usual lyrics changes.

Comments included:
"Julia...I keep walking backwards...I can't stop"
"No that wasn't Magazine...Yes, it was Magazine"
"Oslo is beautiful, Helsinki is Beautiful, Stockholm is beautiful, Gothenburg is beautiful...(nothing about Malmo)."
"I'd like to introduce you to the captain of the ship, Boz...The First lieutenant, Gary...The rear gunner Matt...The torpedo (something), Jesse Tobias...and finally the secret weapon, Mikey" (Nothing about who he was himself this time)

one of you clever swedes must have recorded this gig?

so, now to the most unimportant question!
did he throw any shirts to the audience in malmö? if he did, that leaves sthlm as the only gig in sweden where he didnt throw one!

Obviously we're all eager to read the entire setlist, but while we wait for that... what track did he open with? Was it First of the Gang to Die again, or something different? love, math+

wOw Morrissey rules.......

Im going to Roskilde :)

It's the same O.....

enzo

I can't believe Moz covered Magazine tonight. I've always loved that tune. You can tell Moz was inspired by it lyrically.

Mickey, Ireland.

Great show!

Mentioned something about "Hair shirts" to Julia.

I really loved the show!!! This was the third time I had the oppurtunity to see the mozzer live, and this was the best yet... I think the selection of song was incredible and the Magazine-cover was the higlight of the show (sorry, How soon is now)....

I was very happy to hear the song "Judy, min vän" before the show. The song is sung by swedish Tommy Körberg and is supposedly one of Morrissey absolute favorite-song... Here is a translation into english...

---------------------

Judy my friend

Judy my friend, you are so thoughtful
why Judy my friend

Judy my friend, you are so quiet and sad
why Judy my friend

Are you starting to realize we both, you and me
maybe never can be happy together
Judy my friend

Judy my friend you love things, houses, TV and wine
your way is full of luxuries and things,
that is not my style

Our ways goes apart, let me say it like this
I can never be the man that you need,
Judy my friend

Refrain:

Gods, let me explain
I live for the moment, just a dreamer,
this is my philisophy,
I always just want to feel free

Judy my friend your dreams of money seems to me small and narrowminded,
my dreams is of green fields,
the playful wind and just a song

Maybe one day I´ll change my mind,
and then I you will hear from me,
I will present myself as your Mr. Smith

Judy my friend here comes our crossroad
maybe we´ll meet again
then we´ll see what life´s turned us to,
Judy my friend

Refrain

Judy my friends here comes our crossroad
maybe we´ll meet again
then we´ll see what life´s done with us,
Judy my friend (3x)

What a nice show!!! //\\//\\

A great show by Moz.

Not his best. But that was more because of the audience. They weren't that wild. Unfortunately.

Before the show fans gathered outside the entrance. Around 200 fans.

The setlist was great. And Morrissey threw 2 of his 3 shirts into the audience. The first shirt was a black one and the last a blue one. He kept his beautiful yellow shirt for himself! maybe because it suited him best!

I must say that "I Will See You in Far Of (Malmoe) Places" is probably one of Moz best live songs ever. Also "Life's a Pigsty". 2 new, great live songs.

I hoped he would play "Dear God, Please Help Me", but knew he wouldn't.

"I Have Forgiven Jesus" was also not played. Sadly! Missed that song.

I cannot wait to see Morrissey again. The best living performer on earth. A living legend.

"That's Life" - Frank Sinatras song is the best outro song you can think of after a show with the great Morrissey.

See you Steven! //\\//\\

Was totally awsome, however too short! God I love him!

All the new songs grew on stage, except for At Last I Am Born. He was a killer, and deadsexy!

As you can see the set list for the night was fantastic. Great set list shame about the crowd ! The venue a working Basketball Arena was packed (almost full) with the brightest and finest of Malmo's socialati. Very little Glitt ot Glam about the place though. We're talking a lot of hair products and all the fashions from the corresponding TV advertising campaigns mimicked to within an inch of their lives.
"Still ill" the second song of the set was wasted on the majority of the audience but for the few freaks like me who have nothing better to do than pop over to Sweden for a gig, it was a much appreciated treat. Aswell as "a song from under the floorboards" a Magazine cover no less !
Thankfully for everyones sake "Dear God please help me" wasn't part of the set. The Mortification factor would have been just too much for all invlolved. All of the new album tracks sounded great. The Gem that is "Life is a pigsty" being the most notable high point.
Sound quality in the venue on the night was a little up and down with one or two obvious digitalising effect gaffs, most notably during "How soon is now" doh ! how did Andy Rourke handle it b4 such gadgetry came along ???
All in all a good gig for the few on the night who had a clue and for the other few who were up for fun. For the restrained clappers and cling-on brigade and their hair straigtners they got to hear "Irish blood English heart" and the new US No.1 "You have killed me" imagine that Julia !
For me I have the Dublin gig to look forward to Sunday April 16 and hopefully abit more than 70 minutes our dear friends in Malmo got.

I posted this list in a thread on the general board yesterday, but I thought I might post it here as well, in the hope of someone reading this being able to identify tracks number 1 and 11.

These songs were played before Morrissey entered the stage in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö:

1. Punk song, female vocals (X-Ray Spex?)
2. Brian Eno: Seven Deadly Finns
3. Mary Hopkin: Never Turn Your Back on Mother
      Earth
4. Ramones: Carbona Not Glue
5. Olivia Newton-John: Long Live Love
6. New York Dolls: Bad Detective
7. Tommy Körberg: Judy min vän
8. Ramones: Why Is It Always This Way
9. The Boyfriends: I Love You
10. Monique Melsen: Pomme, pomme, pomme
11. Italian 60’s song, male vocals
12. The Smoking Popes: You’ll Never Walk Alone
13. Jobriath: What a Pretty

Exitus: Frank Sinatra: That’s Life

However, track number 9 was left out in Malmö.

Tracks number 5, 7 and 10 are all old Eurovision Song Contest entries (UK 1974, Sweden 1969 and Luxembourg 1971).

Any help in identifying tracks 1 and 11 would be much appreciated. /Ulf.

"Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" should be the main encore on this tour. "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" was great for the Quarry tour.

"Suedehead" should be played mostly every night.

A great show! Although Morrissey didn't seem to impressed by Malmö...

Someone in the audience gave him an easter egg which he accepted with a confused look on his face.
