Fantastic gig, Pigsty went down well as did How Soon Is Now. My Life was good too. Still Ill was the real kickoff.
Sons & Daughters were okay.
Take care,

Nobody got onto the stage, but there were half a dozen crowd surfers.
Good atmosphere, but some stupid fans [from Bangor, no less] shouted things at Moz which he didn't approve of (I couldn't make them out, but at one point Moz said "Was that funny?" and looked a little annoyed). After that, he paid very little attention to the crowd.
I shouted "U2 Can't Hold a Candle To You!" to which he gave me a sideways glance, then put his hand on his cheek and pushed his face away as if to snub me. Funny moment!
Morrissey came out beforehand to go back to the tour bus. He was surrounded by bouncers and his eyes looked a little teary... I could just see what beautiful blue eyes he has. He looks not a day over 30 when he's just walking around normally.

It was an amazingly nice day beforehand, beautifull weather and the sea was lovely and flat - Llandudno is really pretty and the town was practically empty, before the gig we saw the whole band except Boz strolling along the prom in their smart suits looking like something from Resevoir Dogs, and afterwards we found the pier deserted but unlocked with all the lights on and spent about an hour strolling about - it was weird, like 28 days later.
Duff venue - but very polite staff and security, but the now traditional tearing up of the shirt at the end got quite rowdy - I'm told!

Morrissey slags off the Sterephonics? (Score:0)
Having said that, Dakota was a brilliant song and deserved to be number one. 7.2 billion times better than their usual hoary, charmless, naff rock. Really wish one of Moz's songwriters could write a piece of music as powerful, uplifting and melodic as that...

Great show but... (Score:1)
Having got that off my chest, I have to say that I preferred last night's show to the previous night's. No Trouble Loves Me, but On the Streets I Ran was a nice surprise.
I for one was delighted that the show was in the (all standing) Conference Centre rather than the Theatre. First UK all standing gig since Blackpool in 2004 if I'm not mistaken?

I preferred this to the Lowry only because I prefer standing venues. Thanks for those around me who made the night so good apart from the oaf and his troll-like girlfriend who complained that I stood in front of them! Hopefully they got trampled underfoot.
Moz sang beautifully - you're in for a treat if you haven't seen him yet - but was less involed with banter than last night. I nearly, so nearly touched him!

Nevermind I got the setlist and a dirty towel from a nice bouncer for my misfortune.
Too many slow songs for my liking but a good small venue,it will be better soon when they have finished the work.
good crowd though still a bit deaf as I am writing this.

Some chap ( local crew ) actually tried to sell me one at the end when the lights had just gone up, enterprising maybee - but did I look that desperate??

Llandudno is a lot prettier than I anticipated and the promenade had a certain grandeur. The venue didn't, in my opinion it looked like an Art Deco building made out of curly-wurlys from the outside!
Anyway the venue itself was fantastic. It was like a school disco, complete with all the remnants of society including me and my 2 mates!
Highlights:
Moz coming on with fag behind ear.... v.Kill Uncle tour.
On The Streets I Ran! FUCKING YES!!!
Moz mock punching his jaw during Blah Blah Blah
"If you apologise for the Stereochronics, we'll apologise for everything else"
Shouts for Boz and Gary Day! Boz's glass playing in Life Is A Pigsty
Life Is A Pigsty!
"The U....S.....A doesn't bomb you" line delivered with a contemptuous panache. (ooh hark at him!)
Being so close to the maestro.
Good crowd.
Launching into Magazine cover when saying stuff about the past. Members of the crowd shouting out for various Smiths songs, it bamboozled a few!
Introducing the band. Julia got a mention too.
IBEH as the encore. Inspired choice. Place went mental! (and I've been a "fan" since 1990- 14th gig.)
Oh and lots of other stuff which will come back to me one day when I'm least suspecting it.
OH YEH- parents there with their kids. There was one bloke with a proper quiff and all that with his nipper. Fantastic stuff.
An oafish loaf realising he cpuldn't barge past anymore people and singing his oafish heart out.
Lowlights:
Moz's yellow shirt. YELLOW. I mean......
Bloke losing his £300 glasses, felt slightly culpable. Don't worry my mate's (who didn't make Amsterdam due to his passport expiring at check-in see Amsterdam thread) mobile went missing in action, presumed dead. At least you have the remnants! (COME ON NASH BRING IT ON! I know you're reading......)
Having a touch of the flu
Broadway Boulevard ALL OF IT.
Not going to Leeds! Hope it was good.
Oh well onto the 6th May....the Apollo! I think this one is going be a bit doolalley so I'm going down the gym! I was aching a tad this morning I can tell you.
