From Marco:

Morrissey is in one of the most important Brazilian newspapers today (Mar. 22).

Under the headline "Porto Alegre 'gets' Morrissey first", it's confirming Porto Alegre date saying that the tickets go on sale today.

It also says the Morrissey says he wants to see a football game, which might happen on Sunday, April 2nd. He also demands that the venues do not sell a single slice of meat. If this happens he threatens to stop the show or not even start it. As usual he will not give any interviews.

Another item of interest: they say he had soundchecked "The Boy With The Thorn in His Side" and "Ask" at the Los Angeles date and may be planning to play it live in South America.

That's it...

Hmm...I wonder why it didn't bother him that the Beacon Theatre was selling meat.

And regarding the two songs "previewed" at soundcheck: AWWWWWWWW MORRISSEY!! YOU WERE HOLDING OUT!!

Incredible, if true. Let's hope practice makes perfect for the next U.S. tour.

It has been well understood for quite some time now that the band has been soundcheckin' at least "Boy.." during this entire tour...this is my first hearing of "Ask" as a SQ. It is also worth a mention that it is only the band that is SQing the songs(as far as I know)...moz was sadly absent from SQ's. In fact, some roadie or some other gent took the vocals on the SQ's I'd heard. It wasn't worth mentioning to anyone at the time. Still, wishing to hear those songs and oh so many more in the future...and maybe..hopefully...a longer set!? he has it in him!!

Ei, esse é meu nome e essa foi a música que eu pedi! Eu sei que não sou o único Leonardo no mundo mas talvez eu seja o único que pediria Well I Wonder. Você é meu fã ou algo assim?

aarrrgghhh........
I knew he was holding out on the stateside fans!
Oh well, I hope that he will play a wider selection of Smiths songs next time he is in the U.S.

There is nothing better than "I know it's over" live!!!

Ask? Ótimo, amo essa canção!
Mas ele tem é que tocar HALF A PERSON , talvez a canção mais linda da história. Jack the ripper também seria lindo... quer dizer, o que não é lindo vindo deste topetudo?

Eh mesmo difihcil acreditar que um ihcone como o Moz venha ao Brasil...
Todos esperamos muito...
Mas mais difihcil de acreditar eh o tratamento da imprensa, seu descaso...
Soh por que uma rahdio (MIX FM) estah patrocinando o show, as outras chamadas 'rahdios rocks' (89 e brasil 2000) nem sequer comentam do show do ex-lihder da maior banda dos anos 80...
Como eh possihvel?????
E a Mtv??? Cadeh??????
Ah, eles soh ouvem 'boys bands'.. Argh!
Deve ser por isso que as publicacoes de muhsica no Brasil sao mensais enquanto que na Europa e Eua sao semanais...
Confundem cultura com lazer...
Vou no dia 3 ao Olympia.. e jah penso em ir tb dia 4...
Grande show a todos...

Adoro essas:

"Swallow on my neck
At amber - dez!!!
Black-eyed Susan
Cosmic dancer
East west - essa eu adoro muito...
I know very well how I got my name... - linda!!
Interlude!!!!!!!!
My love life!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Saudades de 'Frankly Vulgar'...
Long live Napster!!!

Sing your life...

Caras eu não acredito !!!! Depois de décadas, Morrissey no Brasil. Aguardo ansiosamente. Só pela oprtunidade de ver Moz ao vivo já vale a grana do ingresso. Vamos lotar o Metropolitan no dia 5. Mas tomara que ele cante " Boxers".
