-After he asked Julia if she remembered "the last Cleveland" She passed the mic to a woman next to her after saying something about "last time or two times ago." The woman next to her said "Seven Years ago" and Morrissey took the mic back and kind of comedically groaned. They they went into a ripping

Excellent work by the lads and the man himslef. A few tried to get on stage during the end, but security were really tough...I saw at least one hard tackle. I hope everyone's alright. Great time...excellent set and good energy. I'm tired...I just got back to Pittsburgh. I was one of the "older now clever swine" in row Z writing all this down. Thank you and good night.
P.S. Sorry for the errors and typos...but I'm exhausted!

Morrissey handed me the microphone! (Score:2, Informative)
I got to shake his hand briefly later on. What an amazing concert. And I'm so glad I finally got to thank Morrissey in person for his music. It's meant so much to me over the years.

Moz turned and said "I heard that" (Score:0)
Great Show - Great Shirt (Score:0)
THEM: "She's Pregnant! We're having a baby!"
MOZ: "You two?"
THEM: "YESSSS!"
MOZ: "And the daddy is...?"
THEM: "Artificial Insemination!"
MOZ: "Well, that's the way to do it if you've got to do it."
They (and all of us in the first 3 center rows) had an amazing show and everyone around me got drumsticks, picks and setlists. And of course, the red shirt went to the guy right behind me and the blue shirt went to the aforementioned ladies. I had been thinking that I'd go buy a concert shirt afterward. Then I thought, crap that's $40 for an $8 shirt and the designs are really not that cool this tour. Maybe I'll offer one of the girls money for the Moz shirt. So after the show, I politely tapped one of them on the elbow and offered her $100 for the shirt. In my mind I was rationalizing that I was doing their baby a favor. I figured if she said no - I'd still have a funny story. If she said yes...I'd have a funny story and Moz's shirt!
So she says:
"No way!"
then a second later says:
"Wait, are you serious?"
I say yes.
"Okay, I'll do it! No - $150!"
I say - sorry, all I've got left to burn on a sweat-stained shirt that just came off my hero is $100 tonight"
She says "oh okay."
So I got the shirt.
It's a Dolce & Gabbanna custom tailored Italian shirt. size 43/17 and it smells like Moz's cologne! Which I am now desperately trying to determine what it is before the scent wears off.
I was accosted 4 times on the way out of the theater about the shirt.
The ride back to Pittsburgh smelled GREAT! Best show ever.

What He said was... (Score:0)
Then her companion said 7 years ago..."and there was another time before that"...which was at the Nautica in 1992
The bit with the pregant lesbians...he looked at a burly dude crowding towards them and asked if they were "all together" and then handed the mike to the one who said she was expecting in January.
About the touring by bus he said stated anyone who was an airline passenger these days "makes you guilty".
I noticed quite a bit of ad-libbing in different songs...a few times he stopped and coughed and I never once saw he seek out liquid...which I thought was pretty amazing. Um...during "Ganglord", there were a few lyric changes...locally, there have been three incidents with police chases and just during the day yesterday...one which landed a suspected sex predator under the porch of a house. It was all over the local stations all day. But anyway...i could have sworn he sang the line "Get your black ass back to the ghetto" at least once.
I have to agree, the show was amazing...there was quite a bit of problems with the sound and "The Queen is Dead" was a horrible muddy mess for most of the song. (Front row loge seats just off center). At one point i ran into the john and it sounded fantastic at the urinal. Once the techies got the sound right, it sounded fantastic...although Boz had a few technical problems a few times.
Best version of "How Soon is Now" that I've heard yet...Matt Walker pounded the crap out of the field drum. Moz laid out on his back with legs up in front of the kit during this one. And he lay in fetal position during another number later on...
I was a bit disappointed that there werent any featured playing moments by the band; they were quite solid...only heard a breakdown once in timing.
Um...invaders...not too many...although one the last encore "Please Please Let Me Have Who I Want"
What the hell were they thinking with the opening act...OMG...she cleared out the room...everyone went out in the foyer...her bi-polar caterwauling was interjected with sardonic quips about "not trying to make her feel better because she was determined to feel bad"...to which someone shouted "you sound even worse"...to be fair...the sound system SUCKED big time for her, and she complained at least once about not being able to hear herself...but still...
I was surprised at the non-chalantness when Moz mentioned not having a record contract. He was very gregarious - passing the mike out to the crowd and chatting...shaking hands, bowing, looking all coy when someone indicated that they wanted his hand.
The crowd was pretty receptive...and spotted quite a few celebs/rockers around.
Wondered if Moz had spent the day with spray paint in hand over at the Princess Di exhibit at Western Reserve. I saw no indication of gold or silver flicks on his person however.
Um....no Suedehead...and i checked out the soundboard...it looked like they were recording the event. Anyone see any cameras around?
Okay...think that's all i can manage for now...fantastic show

I managed to make it to the front by the end of the show and got to shake his hand. Much pleased.
I hope he doesn't retire! He has too much life in his bones!
