Amazing! (Score:0)
some highlights:
-opened with 'Panic'
-National Front Disco, one of my fav Moz songs, was most certainly the higlhight of the show. the energy was astounding and the entire building was shaking/singing along. I never thought that song could be that furious
-Moz(paraphrased): "We'd like to try our own version of Sweet Home Alabama"...right before Girlfriend in a Coma!
-During IBEH, Moz left the "democrats" out of "Americans are sick to death of repulicans and democrats"...the resulting emphasis on the GOP was well recieved and relevant
-Ended with Playboys.
Although there were some holes in the setlist, overall the night was incredible and an amazing show for my first Morrissey concert! Even though the balcony was mostly sitting down (inconceivable!), I was dancing the entire time.
On to Atlanta! Moz, give me back The Queen is Dead!

[*] Adam told me not to add commentary in the middle of the set list, being that I'm not technically a "fan" per se. (But you've trained me so well!) As only a footnote for the point where he borrowed the mike for a moment and singled me out... I love you too, and happy 11th anniversary.

I honestly believe he was MUCH better this time around. Sounded Sooooo so so so o so good.
How come nobody takes the glads to the shows anymore? I always thought it was sort of a tradition. And the morrissey football chant?
1 girl made it on stage. I think she was the only one to try? No, another guy tried after that, but not quite. Good Ole Mogsy took off and threw 3 shirts into the audience. the first 2 were wrestled over and reduced to shreds. one of the recipients was kind enough to tear off a small shred for me. It really smelled strong- some really good fragrance on it...
But when he threw the third shirt out, I was able to jump and catch it alhtough I didnt really plan the jump and I landed painfully and got a nice wide sec of skin removed upside of left knee. I got it safely under my shirt and it's intact, except 3 button holes ripped when he tore it off and it lost one button. All I can say is that He must be a LOT taller than he looks, because I'm around 6'5 or so, and it fits me like a GLOVE!!! I gave the first shred to a friend. She was sooooooo thrilled! she licked it! Also got a roll of film, but it's a disposable so the quality will probly rot. ciao,
Lee
I could not have asked for more. I think I'll be high for a few days. Opening act was super-cool, the whole event was all around fantastic, a 10.

Morrissey brings Irish blood, English heart to Birmingham
Saturday, July 21, 2007
SHERRI GOODMAN
News staff writer
Morrissey - heralded as the crown prince of melancholy - put on a positively buoyant show Thursday night, keeping a near-capacity crowd on its feet through a 20-song set at the Alabama Theatre.
The former lead singer of The Smiths, clad in a black button-down shirt and dress pants, took the stage with his new band following a lengthy montage of video clips featuring James Dean, Brigitte Bardot and the New York Dolls.
He captured the crowd immediately and set the mood of the show with the opening lines of The Smiths' song, "Panic," which has a reference to the "streets of Birmingham." Against a backdrop of large images of Dean's face, he effortlessly moved from the influential alternative band's material to songs from his solo efforts, including "First of the Gang to Die," "Irish Blood/English Heart" and "Let Me Kiss You."
The set included several songs from his latest release, "Ringleader of the Tormentors."
His wry humor, apparent in his lyrics, was on full display Thursday. He jokingly introduced The Smiths' "Girlfriend in a Coma" as his version of "Sweet Home Alabama." He held hands, passed the mic to adoring fans along the front, and thanked Hoover dentist Dr. Betty Lee for fixing his teeth.
But there wasn't a chance for the audience to be bored. The 48-year-old kept the energy level up, sashaying, swaying and even strutting as he crossed the stage. He worked up a sweat, and, much to the delight of the Morrissey faithful, he took off his shirt revealing his chest not once but three times.
One of his last numbers was the fittingly cynical "Life Is a Pigsty" from his latest release. The song, which runs more than seven minutes, ended with Morrissey on his back, feet in the air. He followed it with the angst-ridden "How Soon is Now" and drove the front of the crowd into a frenzy during the "Last of the International Playboys."
He apologized for a series a "drastic cancellations" in the 1980s that kept him from Birmingham. But after the warm reception he received Thursday, chances are he'll be back.
