First of the Gang

"I want to say hello to Julia. But she isn't here!"

Just left the DC show...he sounded wonderful. Just so, so good. I was also at the Myrtle Bch show. As we all know he was definitely not feeling well that night, tonight he was back to normal. He played Disco Dancer too. Quite a treat. He's definitely back!!!

I'll bet DC pussed out on the stage invasions

The band sounded fantastic. Sometimes I've cringed to hear them play Smiths covers, but tonight Ask, Death of a Disco Dancer and I Keep Mine Hidden sounded fantastic. And Moz's voice was better than ever.

i would have loved to have been in the front row for this show.. security was a bunch of asses.. moz bent down and sang to the front while telling security to lay off.. moz chatted with arturo and arturo actually came into the crowd to talk to security.. not sure what he said as they were still pretty rude after he left.. no stage invasions, which was lame.. absolutely no barrier at all.. it should have been complete mayhem, but everyone was boring..

convo with a bloke from essex was pretty funny.. i guess i will have to go to sidcup one day to get the joke..

Morrissey and the band sounded great, and the man was clearly happy to be here. Highlights for me were This Charming Man and Seasick. I have to say, however, that this show paled in comparison to the last two DC area shows I saw at Wolftrap and Constitution Hall. Unlike the Constitution Hall show, which ended in a euphoric eruption of stage invasions, this show had none. As some above have indicated, there may have been security issues up front. I also thought the setlist was kind of dull, particularly the second half. I enjoyed hearing a large percentage of the new album, but I didn't think the picks from the back catalog were particularly inspiring. With two fairly mediocre tracks from Quarry, I Keep Mine Hidden, and a cover, it just seemed like there was a bit too much B-material. Finally, it seemed like Moz's legendary wit was a bit off. Unlike his usual pointed comments, it seemed like he didn't know quite where to go with much of the banter, and it frequently trailed off into nonsense. All in all, a good show, but a just slightly disappointing compared with the last two. That being said, I adore the man and I hope he returns to the DC-area soon!

Lovely to see these songs!!!!

Of course, Death of a Disco Dancer, is one of the world'S most overrated songs. But still.

Does America deserve The Loop? I guess with Obama... yes.

Thought this was a great show, despite the lack of stage invasions... snapped a few pix and video as well.

Gosh I wish he would stop playing crashing bores, it is a crashing bore of a song. I wish he would add interesting drug and sunny.

Oh God, Oh God...
anyone take video??
or audio

I am listening to Morrissey play the song London live right now from a show in 95, God his band sounded good then. What are you doing?

I was sitting in the fifth row but couldn't help wishing I was just a LITTLE closer. I always feel so close yet so far!! Very very pleased with the setlist. Moz was in good form and seemed very energetic.

I wore a green bridesmaid dress to the show because I had just come from being in a wedding and got lots of compliments on both my dress and my Moz tattoo. Thanks to everyone I met!

I think the fact he is still playing this Buzzcocks cover may mean it will be one of the next B-sides... the same thing happened on ROTT tour with the Magazine song which he started playing at beginning of tour before it was released as a B-side.

when he left the stage last night, he did say "Hare Krishna!"

i thought that was precious!

Yes another great show. However the only down point was the nazi security guards. You couldn't even use a phone in that place without getting yelled at. Is it always like that there??? God forbid you want to have memories from the show.

OK, I'm an out of work graphic designer and decided to use my powers for good. Here's an online store where we can order shirts and stuff printed with the cigar chomping, bicep flexing Refusal sailor from Morrissey's stage backdrop...

Anyone lucky enough to catch one of Mozz's shirts?

Glad to see Birthday on the setlist! Anyone get a recording of this?

I'm glad this song has finally been played

I'm seeing moz tomorrow, and the ticket says there'll be a search. I was wondering how intense the search is/if you guys snuck in cameras.

So, is she on this tour? If not, does anyone know why?

Jack the Ripper, I'm the End of the Family Line, Disappointed, Alma Matters and for a total mind blower Maudlin Street. " I was born here and I was raised here and I took some schtick here!"

Did anyone who was waiting outside the tour bus lot ever get to see him drive away? Did anyone in the band come out and talk?

It was my 1st concert ever last night and it was everything I thought it would be. I just wish I was the one who caught his shirt. I brought my mom and she thought she wouldn't like it but she did and we had fun.

BTW if you saw a tall black chick dancing on the 3rd balcony that was me

Seeing the clips on Youtube, I can't wait for him to join us back over the pond!!! I'm seeing him 3 times in May and it is going to be brilliant.

I love the way he is dancing and his voice sounds terrific. I think it was mentioned in a recent interview that he loved the physical power of the more aggressive music that his band play, that really comes across from the videos. Although, his gigs have always been very exuberant and physical anyway, in my experience.

Thank you to those who posted links to youtube, we limeys appreciate it!!! If anyone has a clip of 'birthday' that would be quite a treat. Keep the good stuff coming our Armeican cousins!

Did anyone else notice Morrissey's beautifully manicured pearlescent fingernails? I love them!! Perhaps it's the hairdresser part of me that noticed.

went to the show last night in dc
had tickets in row j orchestra

shout out to the hottie wearing the pixies shirt (pics 6) lol I loved your energy

anyway, the show was good, but not his best.
the security guards were total ass wipes, and totally ruined the show.

The band sounded good, and boz seemed into it.
Morrissey sounded good, and looked fair.

He was pretty chatty in the middle.
He sang "now its 29 years on" during billy budd
He talked to a guy from essex and said "curious Accent you have"
After black cloud he said "and this song is the summary of the previous song " and went on to play "let me kiss you"

He said hello Squashington
hmmm I forgot what else.
Anyway fun

Best concert of my life was The Smiths at Warner Theatre in June of '85. I was in the second row - bought the tickets from a broker for $40. A friend of mine bootlegged the show. He gave me his jacket(with the recorder in the pocket) when he invaded the stage during "Barbarism". I can't believe I gave him the tape back later that night at Poseurs - it sounded brilliant. I'll never forget Morrissey dedicated "Heaven Knows" to the "sexy" security gaurds and how incredibly piercing his eyes were that close up.
We all met the band down at the Shoream hotel the next morning before heading to Philly for another brilliant show at the Tower.
It can never be anything like that again, so for that reason and several hundred others, I've moved on. I really felt some mixed emotions about not going. If it had been the 9:30 or Constitution Hall....Nahhh - but that place is special.
I do wish Moz all the best but I'm not buying the records anymore and I will not be playing him on stage ever again....still kinda wish I'd been there.

-Quinn

I'm heading to the Wellmont tonight and time will be tight...

does anyone know how the stage times have been going?

doors? 7:PM ?
opener? 8:PM ?
Morrissey 9:PM ?

Thanks!,

The world has gone mad! People are judging Morrissey's shows after watching them on Youtube?

Always wanted to see Morrissey up close, so I splurged BIG money for tickets online. Bad timing, bad economy, but I had to be close. All you next-to-last-row ticket holders who hung around up front, sat in other people's seats, moved in and crowded the front couple of rows where you didn't belong and acted indignant when told to move, f*** off! You all suck! Because of you slag, I couldn't even reach up for a handshake from Moz. You are the same lot who think you can just do what you want, when you want, where you want and to hell with everyone else. You ripped me off. Life will pay you back for your treatment of others. Sorrow will come to you in the end!

I love you Mozzer but can you please put crashing bore and first of the gang to rest...you have so many other great songs, that i have yet to hear live!!! :)

What was that awesome twist video they played before Morrissey went on? The guy in that leather outfit was a crazzzzy dancer!

I assume Morrissey had something to do with the videos they showed as they included the new york dolls, jobriath, shocking blue, etc etc...
