I have always just wanted to just thank Morrissey for getting the New York Dolls back together. I held up a sign from my front row behind the pit seat which said "New York Dolls fan since 1973, Thanks Moz". He read it (with some difficulty) and by God he acknowledged it. It made my night.
I love Morrissey but I'll always be a Dolls fan first.
It was a great show. Better than Austin but not as goos as St. Louis which for me was the best show I saw.

Knoxville brought it! (Score:1)
The theater was small and beautiful, with a lot of empty seats. I think he expected us to be a quiet bunch, and was quite surprised at our loud reaction to him. "So much drama for a Tuesday night!" He said at one point. For the size of the crowd, we made a lot of noise, and he was pleased.
This was my tenth show over the past 21 years, and he just gets better and better. Some songs seemed a little slowed down, maybe for his voice, but he sounded great from start to finish. The highlights for me were PPPLMGWIW and LIAP. LIAP has turned into my fave of his live...just amazing.
At one point he, after passing the mike around to fans, he said "Anyone else?!" He seemed to enjoy hearing what we had to say. At another time he said to the very happy fan who gave him a necklace, "You drove all the way from Kentucky for this?!"

Morrissey finally came to Knoxville! (Score:1)
I've waited 21 years to see Morrissey and he finally came to my hometown!!! And just a few weeks before my birthday also!(thanks to the girl in the Smiths T-shirt and your lovely dark haired friend for the early birthday wishes! I hope you have a great birthday on the 22nd and it was wonderful to meet you both!).
I was told that he was going to sing "most of his slow songs" as the general manager at the Tennessee Theatre put it, but I was really excited to hear such a great variety of songs, and especially TQID.
I was supposed to sit in Row C, but that night they talked to the tech person and they bumped me up to front row, and I was right against the barrier about 20 feet from The Man himself.
He really outdid himself, making sure that everyone from every possible angle could see him. I did not hear any problems with his voice, and with songs like TBWTTIHS that had some high notes, I would've noticed it. He really delivered on every song.
He threw 2 shirts out in the audience, the last one just above my head!(if the person that caught this shirt is reading this, I will pay top dollar for a piece of this shirt. Please email me @ [email protected]. Thanks!)
A big thank you to the pretty blonde woman beside me during the show, who made it possible that the record that I brought for Morrissey made it to him! Even in my Jazzy chair, I'm too short to throw or hand over anything! Also, thank you to the two other people, the one that passed it on down, and the person who held it up to Morrissey's outstretched hand! Thanks for helping me you guys!!
Thanks to Jerry(I hope I didn't get your name wrong! I was nervous as you know...a psycho woman! lol)who sat with me before the show and bought me the beer(I'm sorry I couldn't drink it due to my back and dilantin meds)and talked with me and calmed my nerves a bit. You were easy to talk to, I'm very shy around strangers. My email is above, tell me about the next Pretenders show!
Thank you, Morrissey, for coming here and making it a wonderful night for me! Tennesseans love you, and this one has loved you for 21 years!
Also, Morrissey is much better looking in person. I do not mean it as a backhanded compliment, even though it might come off as such. I do hope that the rest of you first-timers that have never seen him get to see him soon..you'll be blown away!
Sorry for all the rambling, I'm still tired and still in a Morrissey trance!

Does anyone have a programme from any Ringleader tour concert? Obviously I can't get one here, so from any city will do.
Thanks

His self confidence & arrogance was hypnotic. I literally could not stop staring at him. My wife is also now in love with him.
BRILLIANT!

His voice was incredible...hitting all of the high notes with seemingly zero effort. it was beautiful, and I had a wonderful time. My husband and I drove down from Nashville, and the whole experience was memorable. We listened to Bona Drag, Your Arsenal and Ringleader in the car on the way down, stopped at the Downtown Grill & Brewery before (and after) the show (their stout is amazing, btw). The interior of the Tennessee Theatre was astounding! so ornate and surreal. When we arrived, Kristeen Young was playing, and I have to say I was blown away! I had been hearing negative reviews of her performances, but she was awesome and a really great opening act for the Moz.
Our seats were great (although I longed to be in the security-tight front few rows that got so much attention from Morrissey during the show, lucky devils!). I probably made an utter fool out of myself for jumping around, screaming and dancing like a little girl to some of my favorite songs of his. Some of the songs even brought tears to my eyes because I was like, "my god, I can't believe he's singing THAT one, and I'm hearing it live for the first time ever!" it was wonderful.
I would say the highlights for me were Life is a Pigsty (unbelievable!), At Last I Am Born, Disappointed (I loved being a part of the "audience" part of the end of the song, shouting "NO!" and cheering when for years, I've always gotten a kick out of the sampled audience he used) and Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want. Heck, I'd seen How Soon Is Now live in 2004, but this one might have blown that performance away! So amazing, and I was thrilled that he came out on stage during Imperfect List again. It conjured such wonderful memories from the 2004 show...the excitement of anxiously anticipating him emerging onto the stage with his wonderful and talented band under the cloak of that ominous, ethereal voice coldly reading off the "imperfect list".
God, it was just great, and I wish I could relive it again and again. I feel so lucky to have been able to see him twice now and to have had this great experience in Knoxville. I hope we all made him feel very welcome and loved there and that he will someday return to Tennessee! Viva Moz!
