Great show, but damn that far-away barricade is really affecting the atmosphere. I was in the balcony and got a great view of all that was happening below, and the first few rows, which are usually rowdy, were very calm and still. Part of it was probably the type of people at the rails. There were a few old women who basically just held still there, no moving or singing or reaching for shakes or anything. Why do those people even try to get up close to the rail if they just squat there like lumps?
Still, once again during the encore there was a rush of bodies to the stage. Not as successful as Tuesday, but a few got handshakes. One dude was basically thrown over the rails by the very crowd he was trying to plow through.
Oh, and one guy did manage to invasion the stage, but that was mid-show, and right after Moz had already stepped away for a shirt change. the guy got up there, looked around, laughed at the situation, and then arturo very forcefully shoved him into the hands of another security guard. I think the security is really uptight after seeing all those previous invasions on Tuesday.
Oh, and the venue has its head up its ass. It doesn't know how to set up lines, how to manage them, how to get people moving. It still lumps us regular folks with the 5-day package people, then asks them to step forward, throwing off the line, allowing people to cut. And in the day they split up the line so as not to block a driveway, and yet no one goes to the second line. they walk up to the first, so that you have people in the front of the line who have been there 5 minutes and people in the back who have been there hours. The venue staff has no clue what's going on, can't answer questions, barks their confused orders, and just generally makes the very beginning very stressful and annoying.

Excellent show and I was so happy he did shoplifters again as I was wearing the Elvis single cover Smiths shirt
2 more show to go and I am still waiting for Piccadilly Palare!!!
Oh and thank god (or cunnilingus) that Kristeen is off the tour, together with this tour, the UK one and the last US, I have seen her more times than most of my favourite bands...
More videos to follow soon.
Enjoy,

only bad things:
-drunk rowdy people ready to fight.
-people skipping the line and going to the first line when I was there since noon.
-oh and someone stepped on my head and nose...ouch!
but oh well. I still enjoyed it.
I also got my friend Laura into Morrissey and she was in awe when he came out.
oh and thanks to this guy I met while in the crowd. He was really nice and passed around some gum. sorry i forgot your name.
crucifix lady? (Score:0)
I was up at the front on the right side and some lady and her old man come barrel assing up into the crowd in front of us and she's pumping a crucifix HARDCORE through the entire show.
I was really skeeved out. She had a greasy braid and orange sunglasses. Way out place and way scary. She kept making nasty comments about the people around her like she owned the joint.
PS. Hi to the folks that were in front of me.
I'm not sure of your accent, excuse me
I heard you mention Morrissey-Solo, but I couldn't talk to you because I was too busy staring at the crucific lady.

So, great show tonight. Not as good as Tuesday (set list didn't have the same energy in the beginning imho), and really no good stage invasions. But, I think it just might be the total asshats that I was surrounded by. I was about 4 or 5 people back left of center and anyone near me knows the one dude in particular I'm talking about. The stoned off his rocker, blank-staring waste of space who met an equally stoned girl, both of whom tried to saunter down to the front and didn't make it, mainly thanks to me
Not only that, my videos are a little rocky because I was constantly being bumped into by stoner, female friend of stoner and then, most disturbingly, by an extremely androgynous, waifish, crystal-meth addict looking, REALLY drunk girl who kept dry-humping me while trying to take really crappy pictures. I really could not have been surrounded by more annoying people! Though, besides them, most around me were great.
And to my friend from Texas, if you read this, hope to see you sunday (front row!) and all my pictures came out blurry or I would have emailed them to you. If someone can post how to set a digital camera to take good indoor pics it'd be much appreciated.

I guess it wasn’t meant to be that I gave you that last night but it’s the symbolism that counts and when it’s meant to be, I shall give it to you.
God Bless you Morrissey. You were one -- you knew you were one and you shall always remain number one in my book -- Always.

hot hot friday show! (Score:1)
[QUOTE=newbie;684119]1ST ever morrissey show last night. one of the best rock concerts i have ever experienced. over the top. a very very good show.
morrissey, the band, and the audience were hot from the first note. i was first row, center, balcony, and i had the best experience ever. high energy firiday night nyc show. what friday night rock shows should be. a blistering sweaty melodic mess. as it should be.
I am 41 and only got into morrissey/the smiths about 5 yrs ago. but last night i got a whole knew perspective on morrissey.
highly recommended.
they were brutal in a good way. great musicians. the rhythm section was tremedous. great guitarist(s), pulling out acoustics when need be, that could always be heard. couple guys mutli-instrumentalists. i think there were trombone, clarinets/oboes, accordian, friggin awesome. I do think the drummer was MVP band member though. he was EXCELLENT. This could have been a zeppelin show or somehting. these guys rocked. and the audience luved it. yet, through-out it all, morrissey's great poetry, voice, and melody somehow always remained center focus.
morrissey was sounding wonderful, going from a deep kind of voice and then hitting hi-notes. Alittle operatic in such a good way. also he was into his bands swing like everyone else. he could have just gone along for the ride, but he was out there giving each song it own wonderful sincerity & unique vibe. considerin how energetic & loud the band palyed, you still picked up on alot of morrissey's nuanced singing style.
he really gave his heart last night, at least i think so.
his voice was like another instrument. last night morrissy was the foreman and his band the wrecking crew. I luved it when he said "are you tough enough," " or "are you ready?"(cant remember the exact words) and we were yelling right back, "yeah!!" it was rowdy but not towards each other. To me it seems like everyone simply wanted to release there own energy at morrissey and the band (and dare i say, release them at life's frustrations & realities
My friend was in shock at what he was witnessing. I told him, this is not like the bootlegs you have heard of him in the past. I told him, these guys are going to peel the paint back, but the sound quality remained excellent throughout. the 1st 4-5 songs were relentless in their energy...and yet the energy NEVER let up.
we had hit a great nyc irsh pub before hand but morrissey & his merry band slapped us sober. they came out like a pile driver. and we were happy and glad for it.
really really extraordinary performance & experience.[/QUOTE]
