Good Show (Score:0)
Sexy Moz stripped off his shirt 2 or 3 times. "Life is a Pigsty" was awesome. Actually, most of the songs he played from Ringleaders were great live, even though that's not his best album.
He dissed Echo Park, but I think he was just teasing. He called it "scrawny." I was so glad to see all of the Latinos singing along to everything, it was such a great vibe.
Sometimes I really don't get his song choices, yikes. I think 1/3 of the songs made our whole box go "Why is he playing that?" But that's the gamble you take when you go see any band.
The man is amazing. I think it's true, the people who say his best relationship in his life is with the audience...
Morrissey returns to the Hollywood Bowl (Score:3, Informative)
First of the Gang to Die was brought back to the setlist, as well is There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. He played his regular 2 song encore, and I thought it was over. But he stepped back up to the mic and said something like "Let this be how you remember me by" and went into the classic. After the lyrics ended he walked to stageright and smiled for a bit. He motioned a question about if he should take off his shirt or not. He did and threw it to the crowd before leaving. That was his second shirt, the otherduring his normal spot in Let Me Kiss You.
He remarked about how The Hollywood Bowl was the hippest spot in town, except for The Cat and The Fiddle. Another comment about the venue was how many legends had played there. He listed a few and the closed his thought with "and....me" which got a huge reaction.
When he introduced the band he made note how Boz had been there the longest. Solomon was next, and he was introduced as the newest. When he ended at Mikey, he got deemed the least important.
There were a little over 10 stage invaders, mostly during You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side. Among them was Australian professional skateboarder, Dustin Dollin.
A brilliant night, a show that I think will be talked about for years.

get your fat ass back to the Ghetto! (Score:0)
The crowd was the usual, low class, Ghetto crowd. I laughed when Moz sang in Ganglord "get your fat ass back to the Ghetto. Get your scrawney ass back to the Ghetto". LOL. Seriously some major fat asses. but its not the fat asses which were bad - its the ATTITUDE that the fat assed men and women have. so goddamn obnoxious. there were some ghetto style people next to me in front and behind, screaming drunk, talking during his songs, just acting so immature and assanine. you know what i mean folks? Notice i havent used any ethnic references here - but cmon - we all knwo who the punk trouble makers are 99^ of the time at Moz shows. it makes me wonder if these people even understand anything Moz is singing about? do they have any grace, kindness, sensitivty? just hollering like it is a damn rodeo.
i know this is NOT a kind and sensitive comment, but i was so irritated when i was trying to enjoy my show... i was hoping some would fall and trip and break a kneecap or 2 or a few people would get into a gang fight and kill each other. in fact, it would be great to have half the punks dissapear permanently. i would rather have the entire place filled with gays than ghetto style assholes. please die in a car accident tonite.
the sad thing is there are a lot of other people who will get stereotyped becasue of the stupidities of some of these people..
anyways i divert. Moz was wonderful!

The show was exceptionally long for a Moz show (2 hours+). He played a great range of songs and the crowd was fantastic.
Only negatives about the show were (a) the opening act was god-awful and (b) the security guards looked to be a bunch of ex-gang-bangers who were hoping to rough a few people up.

I'm really hoping this show will be out on DVD. Really *the* best out of maybe 10 shows I've been the last 18 years since the very first I went to, which blew my mind away. It was like the first time...
The crowd gave back so much (and his majesty returned) and toward the end of the show/encores, Morrissey was very openly touched.
Welcome home, Moz.

I was 4th row to the last (Score:1)
The ball was rolling for an amazing show, he opened up with the queen is dead. Not until he sang it did I understand the statement he was making. My interpretation was that the queen is dead, and we've been free to do what we like this entire time.
I remember him saying "It'll only get more dangerous from here on out", at the time I felt he was saying it to me for shouting his name over the insults he provided.
He was true to the words he has written years ago. On let me kiss you, he spoke of someone you physically admire - and in his boldness, he ripped off his button up shirt and the crowd went wild. He smashed the ice with his sheer openness.
I had been standing since i stood up, everyone else was sitting, and then Girlfriend in a Coma came on. People around me began to stand up and dance around to the music! Surely we were at a music concert, why not dance? It was quite an experience.
After a track or two, I decided to decend to the base of the mountain, to get a better vantage point. I ran down the steps, each one bringing me closer to the stage. I reached the top of the terrace boxes, from which i watched a song or two. Then I went to the far left, and found a path down the hill. I spotted a cameraman filming around the corner of the terrace boxes. I continued down the hill, and saw that there was only a white rail and a shrub separating me from the terrace seats. so I hopped the rail, and jollied down to the row between the terrace and garden boxes. This is where Moz began singing "Thats how people grow up", the lyrics I felt like booing because dreams don't need to die. And then as the song dragged out, Moz went on his back, legs above head, back on the drum platform, and played dead.
He brought himself to his feet again and played Life is a Pigsty. Again, after singing pessimism, he fell to the floor as the music dragged on. He must've been there for 20 seconds, it was getting ridiculous, I shouted "This charming man!" with the passion of a tourette's patient, and with perfect timing, he sprang up and the epic guitar riffs of "How soon is Now" began wailing throughout the Bowl. The crowd roared, though soon enough, the song was over. The band took off their instruments and walked off stage.
"Encore!" and "MORR-IS-SEY" were repeated throughout the venue, and the band returned for an encore in under 30 seconds!
And then it happened - The most beautiful Moz/smiths track began to play, Please Please Please, Let me Get what I want. This is a song I would put on repeat on long car rides, on the record it has the most beautiful stringed instrument solo, which was substituted by a horn player. It was the same song that touched me through the headphones of an ipod on a drive back from vegas two years ago. Seeing the animation on Morrissey's face on the large screen as he sang words older than me was unforgettable and true.
It was really a stunning moment.
After hearing that, I couldn't care what the next song was, in fact i can't remember it. But the final song was a fantastic smith's tune - There is a light that never goes out. I take the lyrics as a resolution to fate turning any single way and taking us in the middle of our journey. "If a double decker bus, crashes into us" "I'll die by your side, such a heavenly way to die". The verses to thi

Although much more calm and a lot less intimate, this show was still among the best I've ever seen. Yes, the tix were pricey (I'm not even going to admit what I paid for front row garden box) but to me it was well worth it. The Bowl is a magical place and Moz is a well-deserved performer to grace its stage. He sounded absolutely incredible, the band is as close to perfection as it gets, and shirt or no shirt - you can all continue to debate that one but the truth is, the man's still got it!
So looking forward to the dvd! The camera was on my friend & I for a bit so who knows
