I was ecstatic that he opened with The Queen Is Dead and indeed played Lucky Lisp!
Good opening show, but the stage jumpers got out of control by the end, especially the last guy who wouldn't let go and forced Moz to shut down and leave the stage not even halfway through First of the Gang to Die. Seems like there were close to 20 people who got on stage throughout the evening, but I lost count after a while.

Both of them made it on stage tonight to greet Morrissey, One during "Life Is A Pigsty" and the other during the aborted "First of the Gang to Die".
It was amazing to say the least...

Think about it. The first show of his North American tour and forevermore his history will document yet another show (even at this stage of his career) where the fans are just to fervent a force for the security to handle, and Morrissey has to be escorted off for his protection.
Brilliantly played.

i know it's pointless to ask, because people are unreasonable, but for the future shows..Dear God, Please Don't Invade. if it happens too much or is too aggressive it can literally ruin the show for sooo many people, some of whom haven't seen morrissey before.
usually, stage invaders are ejected from the venue as well, so even if they don't cause the show to be cut short for everyone, they Do get the show cut short for themselves because they are kicked out.
i know it's exciting to get up there and possibly touch morrissey, but at heart, it's a selfish act. Please think it over before you do it and possibly ruin the show for hundreds of other people. can't you just enjoy the experience for what really matters..the music you love; the songs that saved your life?

Backdrop is famous one of James Dean looking over his shoulder at the snowy, Dean family gravesite in Fairmount, IN (see Suedehead viddy).
Intermission viddies had at least one new one of an effeminate man with a ballerina/tap dancer whom he mistreats (singing & dancing -- before Lipsynka viddy), and there's also another one that appears to be a film clip of these male English actors in b/w.
I wrote the following last night:
Am still in shock. Moz opened with The Queen Is Dead!!!! Haven't heard him play it live since Claremont 97.
Excellent show though the stage crashers were out of hand and forced him to quit early, depriving Stockton of There Is A Light encore. I know this because of the setlist.
Moz in top form but the sound was poor -- too much guitar in the mix and Mozzer's mic didn't seem to work all the time. He even dropped it a couple of times.
This really was the Greatest Hits tour. The t-shirts (designs are nothing much to shout about) proclaim it's his greatest hits tour in the United States, but they are too lazy to print the dates on the back. There is also a very funny one that says Moz Posse, I guess like the Moz Krew?! But at $35, that joke is too expensive for me.
Played all the faves (even ones I think are cliched like HSIN) such as EDILS, Suedehead, HSIN (of course)...and Boy w/ the Thorn in His Side!!! WOw, now if he would only play Reel Around the Fountain, Handsome Devil, and Some Girls...I think I could die fulfilled.
I am so glad I came to Stockton! Tomorrow I will attend the asparagus festival (Moz joked by welcoming us to the first day of the...asparagus festival). Then onward ho to Sparks!

When that last idiot that tackled Morrissey got thrown off stage he landed on the floor right next to me. I looked up for a second to see Mozz and the band exiting and I got so pissed I turned around and kicked that fucker right in the ribs and told him he ruined the show. He got up and RAN the hell out of there.
I looked for him outside, but no luck.
Still a great show! There is a light... would have been a perfect capper.

About the guy who got the show ended early... (Score:1)
My wife and I were sat directly next to the guy who tackled Morrissey and got the show ended early. When my wife and I first got to the show and were seated the guy looked like he gave me a dirty look as we filed passed him to our seats (maybe I mis-read his facial expression). He was a big burly Latino guy who my wife and I later after the show ended referred to as "Hector". His wife (or whom ever she was, we didn't know for sure at the time) was pregnant and they had smuggled in what looked like a full size digital camera. The pregnant woman was sat directly next to my wife mentioned to my wife that "her husband" was going to get onstage and he wanted her to take his picture when he got up there. She told my wife she was reluctant to take his picture because the camera they brought kept flashing and it made her nervous. About halfway through the show he successfully made it onstage and I believe he touched Mozzer. I don't know if his wife was able to get his picture. He was escorted back to his seat where the pregnant woman he was with (his wife) gave him a hug and several people gave him thumbs up. Well I guess one stage rush was not enough for this guy because he again made his way down the left side of the stage (with his wife this time) and somehow got passed the security. I saw him briefly talking to the security people and pointing to his wife's stomach. Maybe he was explaining that she was pregnant? I am not sure but that security person let him through and I lost site of him until he tackled Morrissey and the show ended. I did see him after the lights came on being escorted by security up the left side of the auditorium and he did not look bloodied or hurt but he did have a look of shame in his eyes.

I had front row seats which cost me an arm and a leg. Now only did he grab my hand, I got a huge chunk of his black buttonup he threw out to the audience. That wasnt easy to get. I ended up ripping a few pieces off for fellow fans. I wasnt going to be selfish. It smells like a mix of incense and greatness!!
I got really good pictures and videos too with my camera phone.

It's absolutely absurd that this "Guardo" (terrible name) character is being canonized on here, and puffing himself up as a vigilante.
It's just another example of the ghettoizing of Morrissey's fan-base which has grown to posses little intelligence. I've seen this happen at more than one show. Some cholo in the audience feels it's his duty to be the audience enforcer, yet only makes the rest of the crowd tense with the encouragement of the mob mentality.
Security is there. It's their job to deal with these scenarios, not yours. Nothing justified lynching the guy, and anyone who is applauding, or encouraging this kind of behavior is morally corrupt.
Sucker kicking a guy is nothing to be proud of. It just shows how far removed you are from civilization.

At the concert he bought us both tshirts and he was so floored that Moz did "Boy With a Thorn..." since I always say that song reminds me of him...We live in Modesto but decided to stay in Stockton for the night and the next day we were just amazed by the night before. Yesterday when he went home he took a stack of Moz/the Smiths cds to listen to...and he plans on wearing his shirt...:)
Our 1 year is coming up and being the art-fart that I am I want to create something with memory so I though to do a cd with a few photos...Can anyone help?
