Few stage invaders during the end of the show; Finally New York!!! let's show them that we are not cold blooded people that just applaud at the end of every song and that's it, before "Human being" he said that the music that most influenced to him was made in this city and if somebody didn't now the original version should leave the building, I wonder if David Johansen was there.

my short review and apology and pictures (Score:1)
it was great to see everyone from last night again and to meet some more new people.
I hope I didn't kick anyone in the head when I got onstage (I was dead center in the black jeans, white shirt and orange jacket in hand) and a book fell out of my coat (Franny and Zooey). if anyone has a picture with me in it i'd love to have it regardless of the probably terrible expression on my face.
the show was better than Monday (though not by much, in my opinion). The final invasion by the crowd really did the show over well. I'm still hoping for Still Ill sometime this week. I'll die if he plays it. see you all friday!

Denim Never Looked so Good - (Score:1)
My prayers were finally answered when he played "Dear God." "The Loop" was the high-point again. When Morrissey wails on that tambourine, he still moves like Satan himself - I just can't get enough of it.
Morrissey seemed almost giddy. Some memorable lines (approximately):
"Does anyone here remember a song called Picadilly Palare?" *huge applause* "Well, I feel sorry for you."
"The first music I heard that made me realize that I was insane was from this city" *applause* - "Is this Salt Lake?"
The encore was pretty epic. There is a five-foot gap, and people actually made it over. The first guy obviously spooked Moz a bit - he was having none of it. Eventually, there was a pretty good wave of people, and Morrissey was swamped. Quite a few fell into the pit - brutal. One "Je Suis Morrissey" T was thrown at the very end, with the usual results.
Kristine Young was simply awful.

All in all, this show is up there in the ranks of Glasgow 03 & Dublin 04. Wish I could make it to Friday & Saturday, but I'll be there on Sunday for the finale...
Much love to all of you. I love being surrounded by (most!) Moz fans. I love exiting the theatre after a Moz show and looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, mirroring my own joy and feeling like we shared an experience. And we're just all so good looking...!

Kristeen (Score:0)
Kristeen Young exists outside of taste. It's part of the reason Morrissey likes her, I think.
As to the person who suggested she be curbstomped: go to hell. In fact, *all* of you can go to hell. Ain't nobody forcing you to listen to the woman, and surely "awful" isn't the fucking word for someone of her raw technical skill. Say you hated her, but don't say she's awful.
I'm unhappy that apparently being an artist you don't like is a sign of moral weakness.

This show was sold out - hopefully he will start to show the East Coast some more love since not a single show at the Hollywood Palladium sold out - it gets costly when I have to travel 2,500 miles to see him instead of 100. I'm looking forward to the show on Friday, and really, really looking forward to Baltimore. I am hoping he suprises us with another new song.

I am glad that Morrissey and his crew still make sure that he gives a perfect LIVE performance every night - way too many bands still think that playing a few venues with a piss-poor band is enough...
Here is a man who has been touring for almost 2 years and yet he & his band give their upmost best and more every night. I salute that. Morrissey is a TRUE artist of our times!

Stop Me if you think you've heard THIS one before. (Score:1)
Morrissey is without a doubt a GREAT artist, and had a profound effect on my life as an artist. It seems he must be at a difficult position in relation to his work. He is now close to 50 years old, and writes from a very particular point of view, full of witty double-entendres, sharp criticism,and also high camp - I'm not sure that the crowd truly grasps the material - I saw lots of young fat people drinking beer. It was great to NOT have people up on stage during the whole show as one could focus more on his singing, but then ultimately great when people DID get up on stage for the encore - such a great song - I realize that this stage invasion (has always been) an integral part of the Morrissey experience, and elevated the dynamic of the show.
The sound quality was terrible - did not really get good until the last few songs - who is the sound mixer? I have heard other people play this venue who sounded amazing. I just feel that a MAJOR artist like Morrissey needs to raise the standards of live performance - if not him then who? I truly feel sorry for people who thought this show was "great" - it was a case of a great artist doing a very average show. Instead of Kristeen Young, Why doesn't Morrissey mix it up a bit and have a fabulous Trannie support him? (check out "Our Lady J" on youtube) I only say this as I know that he's a big trannie fan from WAY back - the first time I saw The Smiths in Chicago in 1984 - drag queens opened for them (as James cancelled at the last minute) and my good friend Pete Burns and Morrissey used to be very close. Morrissey also is very into Lypsinka (John Epperson) I hope you fans are aware of the work of these people. People like Justin Bond (aka Kiki and Herb), Antony and The Johnsons, and Rufus Wainwright. Rufus, Antony, & Justin carry on the great New York City tradition that Morrissey was influenced by - and spoke about last night - fabulous talented queens - people who live their life with some sort of "edge". I mean the Dolls may not have been real "queens" - but they were playing with the whole notion of trannie-dom. Rufus told me once how Morrissey even mentioned to him that he stole a few ideas from him - as all great artists find inspiration in other artists work. I mention these 2 performers in particular (Rufus and Antony), as they are extremely MUSICAL in their live shows - I did NOT find last nights gig to be very "MUSICAL", but more like obligatory pantomime, until the last few songs that is - but a strange arc of songs to play - is Morrissey the musical director of his own gig?? And, as epic a song that it is - does anyone really want to hear "How Soon is Now" - NOW??
p.s. I will always love you - OK??!
