Definetly a different vibe than most of the ROTT shows, but in a good way.

My review of the show. (Score:0)
MOZ: without a doubt, at the top of his game. Getting a little belly on him but his performance was superb! Need i say more?
BOZ: what a performer. There was a part when he was standing directly behind one of the bouncers, maybe 6" apart, and he was strumming the guitar in a way that he was pretending to be smacking the dud in the back of the head.
MIKEY: He definitely adds punch to the songs...top notch musician.
JOSE MALDONADO: I was directly behing him when the bouncers where manhandling him. he got in an argument with one of the bouncers, nose to nose, and the bouncer shove him really hard. JOSE, if you read this, I got a picture of the guy in case you want to file a lawsuit...I AM YOUR WITNESS.
JULIA: well, Julia will be Julia...and her comments are rather weird.
STUPID IDIOTS: there was a bunch of stupid, idiotic greasers that collectively rushed the stage during Killed Me and Moz and the gang were escorted off the stage for safety reasons. Man, you greasers are are eal bunch of Neanderthals...f'ckin losers. you know who you are.
BAR: Damn! $10 for a beer in a cup?!?!
BAND: They are awesome...a whole lot better than the Quarry line-up.
BACK TO THE IDIOT: Moz handed him the mic asking if he had a questions and the greaser comes out with, "Always remember but forget my fate." Moz had a look of What the Duck? [put an F in the word Duck]
ANOTHER IDIOT: Same situation as above..."When are you coming to Camarillo [a small suburb of Ventura]? He says, "Ah, never."
Well, I'm sure others have things to post so I'll stop here.
JOSE, I'm serious about the idiot bouncer. Let me know if you want me to text you the picture of the security guy that struck you in the face.
Have a good nigh.

The show was great and there was good crowd energy. I was very impressed with his background lighting and great backdrop. I was relieved that Moz & the boys continued the show despite the minor incident with the 4-5 stage invaders all at once. The first female stage invader during Everday is Like Sunday very gentle w/ Moz and gave him a nice hug, the second group of invaders seemed more like they were trying to tackle him. Some key Moz phrases:
"Welcome to the Hollywood Bowl"
During Irish Blood, English Heart "I wish the Americans would get sick of the Republicans and Democrats"
"Tell me San Diego was a bad dream, unfortunately I do not think it was"
"They only want my bank account, that is the only reason they want to touch me"---(regarding the stage invaders)
That's all I can remember for now...
I cannot wait to see what he has lined up for the Hollywood Bowl on Friday. Good night!
Re:Setlist (Score:2, Informative)
In S.D. during Lemme K You, he sang "I've zigzagged all over America" instead of substituting "Los Angeles" as he had been doing lately. I'm glad tonight he sang "Los Angeles" again.
Very good show! Made up for San Diego. My heart stopped when he left the stage because of the invaders during YHKM. So glad he finished!
Before "In the Future..." he made a quip about how people think his songs have two meanings...when there's not even a first meaning. He made similar comments back when he used to sing "I Can Have Both" during the 2000 tour.
Here's the slightly revised setlist for tonight:
1. The Queen Is Dead
2. Last of the Famous Int'l Playboys
3. Ganglord
4. National Front Disco
5. Let Me Kiss You
6. All You Need Is Me
7. The Boy with the Thorn in His Side

That song says "nothing to me about my life" and from the good looking crowd tonight, it wouldn't have said much to anyone there.
I also thought Morrissey was a 100% correct about everyone hates Southpaw.
It was also nice to see him hand the mic to more people than just Julia

The crowd. WOW. The crowd were havin it!!! At some points during the gig, I couldnt hear Morrissey becuase of the defening cheers from the crowd, WONDERFUL. Beautiful to see morrissey fans that are passionate about him. Last of the Famous, superb. Cool to see Alain W. before and after the gig. Boz was cool and signed some stuff and took some snaps with fans. Morrissey made a super quick dash to the tour bus after kicking his heals backstage for about an hours. Hollywoood Bowl here I come.

But why is Moz , so more talkative , approachable , accomodating to his oversea's fans, than he is to his British fans.
Ive been to many UK concerts regarding the Moz and trust me, he hardly interacts at all with the crowd , well not to the extent he does when he plays abroad.
Not bitter but just wondering.

To those idiots who almost cost us the show: It's not 1992! It's not Dallas! If morrissey want's you on stage he'll let you know! Stop trying to live in a time that wasn't yours!

The Hollywood Bowl was fantastic, but in a completely different way.
The theater in Columbus was beautiful, but we were "chained to our seats" as Morrissey commented.
I love how intimate this theatre is and that you can see his facial expressions from just about anywhere in the theater and I love the general admission on the floor. I did have have trouble understanding some of the things that he said when speaking, which I don't remember from last time or at any of the other shows that I've seen.
I enjoyed talking to Charles from Ventura throughout the night and I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that I didn't get to say a proper goodbye. I didn't really mean to leave so quickly after the show, it's just that I can be painfully shy sometimes.
The guy with the camera out front caught me off guard and made me feel really uncomfortable. I hope that I don't appear on TV looking like a bumbling idiot! It didn't look like he was getting much of a response from anyone. It's all in the approach.
All in all, this was a great show in a great venue in a cool town and I'm sure that's why Morrissey chose to play here again and I really hope that he does again in the near future.
