Setlist:
ENTRANCE MUSIC: Old Ned (Theme from Steptoe & Son)
Ammunition
? New Song ? (chorus: "Pato Banton is me")
On The Streets I Ran
-----
CRITICAL ONSLAUGHT: In which Morrissey invites selected audience members to join him on stage and hurl pre-prepared bottles of stagnant piss at a cage featuring every music journalist who’s given him less than a five star review, accompanied by Mikey’s instrumental rendition of Journalists Who Lie on farfisa organ.
-----
I Knew I Was Next
Lucky Lisp (Instrumental)
Dear Jah, I And I Is Suffering (dub version of Ringleader favourite)
-----
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION: In which Morrissey informs the crowd that he’s “drugged and hidden” Julia Riley somewhere in the building and that the audience have 3 minutes in which to find her comatose body to claim the exclusive prize of a Kinder chocolate egg signed by Gary Day. Pandemonium ensues…
-----
Ambitious Outsiders
Now I Am A Wasp*
Jack The Ripper

THE BIG FIGHT: In which Morrissey, wearing a sumo suit, and a topless Boz Boorer spend 2 minutes ‘belly-bouncing’ one another while Jesse leads the crowd in a sing-a-long chant of DJ Otzi’s “Hey Baby (Ooh Ah)”.

real review (Score:2, Informative)
morrissey was on form, witty and chatty, not like at ally pally, asking whether anyone famous was from halifax (erm, big daddy and that woman off the currys adverts from changing rooms)
he joked about the venue being named after victoria wood, and namechecked leeds, halifax and the mighty pontefract as places of note in west yorkshire.
set list was almost identical. that song from under the floorboards (apologies if title wrong) was missed out, but pretty much everything else was the same as the last shows i saw, but in a tiny venue, where i was able to walk in 20 minutes before and stroll up to 15 feet away from the stage.
right, i need a milky drink and a darkened room. oh, spoke with someone from behind the scenes before, apparently the tour dates are based on an old kenn dodd tour! like your style moz old china.
cheers everyone, and ignore that fool above.

Nice banter from Moz, I liked it when he disputed the fact that Billy Bremner came from Halifax. Well in Moz! And a good thing when he threw a t-shirt back into the crowd from whence it came!
Julia gets a lift from gig to gig with the crew. God knows what she does on those coaches. But that is how she travels (shudder to think). So now 'we' all know how she gets to the front.

Halifax (and Huddersfield), West Yorkshire, the North... well done for making this such an incredible night.
The venue was rocking - and I think Mozzer and his band really appreciated it.
What a night. Up there with the best.

Hugh and I turned up at about 7:20, and met the famous Halifax chap with tattoos all over (he's in Who Put The M in Manchester, who was already having a damn good time and an great spirits. Wanderd over to the venue, grabbed a beer, and settled at the front of the stage, whereupon Deano arrived. Anyhoo, Tiger Army were surprisingly good, and got a good reception - I think the crowd appreciate their effort (so it was a shame at the end of the night to see their frontman leaving the side-door alone, smiling sheepishly at people as he walked down the street). The security tonight were not too heavy handed and on the whole, helpful, especially to the guy who crowd-surfed to the stage, three times! Then on came Moz and the crew. It's all a bit of a blur - but what I can remember is Boz striking some excellent poses, including leaning nonchanlantly on the stacks, Gary really, really appreciating the crowd (at the end he came over with the set list and said "I fucking love you") - maybe that was the Gary Day chanting we were doing. Jesse was bouncing around in top form, Mike and Matt were perfect, and Moz was having a whale of a time. He changed the lyrics of 'My Life Is A'...so that the line was sung as follows "All of the best things in life, all behind glass...Halifax, Leeds, Pontefract". Fab. Wandered out later and met the Ephraim (is that how you spell it?), who most people will have seen - a really nice bloke, and of course Julia, who was lovely, as always. We had a chat about the Brontes, and she knew much more than I did, so I shut up. Thence for a few shandies at the hotel down the road, where we met, amongst others, Mike and spouse, and the splendid Sharron Needles. I must apologise to Mike C and Andy, I really tried, but got swept in in the tide of folk. All in all, a cracking gig.
