Were they as lively as the first night? I tried like hell to get tix for this night as well but could only get the first night...lucky peeps..

SO what were the highlights?? How was it? Lively? LOUD?? Did Moz talk as much as last night?? (Which I enjoyed very much ;)) Did anybody "Rise Up"???? DETAILS PLEASE FOR US UNFORTUNATE SOULS! THANKS!!

Why are you demanding details when the concerts has just went underway at the time of your posting?

Anyway, the last two days should give you some indication of things....it is a Moz concert after all.

I'm first!!!!!!!!!!!

...because Diana Dors you'll never be.

Same setlist as last night but.. I've Changed My Plea replaced I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now.

How Soon is Now? opened the show
Please Please Please closed the show
single song encore -> First of the Gang to Die

just got home from the pasadena Civic. I went to all three shows and opening night (Thurs) was the best, it just seemed that Morrissey was in good spirits that night.

I saw a white/hispanic(?)guy with a hat get pummelled buy three hispanic guys over one of the shirts Moz threw towards the back of the right side (Morrissey's left) of the pit. The guy with the hat caught a good piece of the shirt and the three other guys (apparently all friends) were violently punching and hitting the lone guy with the hat. As a Mexican, I'm ashamed of these actions by other latinos. These dispicable cowards ganging up on one guy by himself are what makes us look bad. Did they forget they're at a Morrissey show? Did anyone catch this one video? I want to expose these low-lifes.

Other than that, AMAZING show as usual!

And I will never sleep again.

Setlist similar to the last, different sequence. thats all.

3 or 4 t-shirts for the crowd.

Mentions
He said there was going to be an afterparty at The Huntington @ Midnight.(Botanical Gardens)

Then he said Just Kidding Julia.
And sent out a message to the Booo! people

YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS!!! JEALOUS,JEALOUS,JEALOUS. lolHAHA
THAT WAS FUNNY.

BOZ
tossed and autographed paper airplane to the crowd.

Jesse the usual tossing
Guitar Pics
Drums sticks too.

the Band was amazing!!!

The crowd was much more into it this night, than the other two. Though I loved all three nights as much as I loved all other moz shows. Moz band wore tshirts that said....oh bugger- I forgot. Anyone remember? Moz was off key during smiths song. It was so cute.

Saw the guy who plays Lt. Dangle on Reno 911. Had the stache and everything. Guess his Morrissey shirts on the show havent been in a mocking way. Cool!

We're shooting our short film “This Night Has Opened My Eyes” and we’re looking for extras.

If you’d just like to come and hang out as an extra when we shoot a club sequence at The Smell in Downtown LA on Sunday February 4th at 10 AM located at:

247 S. Main St. (Cross Street Between Second Street and Third Street, entrance in the Alley) Parking should be easily available on Sunday morning. ...just send us a message. It’s not a paying gig but we’ll feed you, give you a copy of the completed film and we’ll be raffling Morrissey and Smiths prizes (T-shirts, albums, etc.). We’ll have music and it’ll be a great place to meet Moz fans (if you weren't up early enough to get tickets for the show).

Just send us a message if you want more information and we'll put you on our contact list. Or forward this on to a friend who might be interested.

Former celeb Rob Schneider was there.

I've been a fan for years but never had the chance to go to a Morrissey concert. I had all the CD's, read articles and interviews, seen pictures and videos. But Thursday was my first time ever being in a crowd of Morrissey fans. I can't tell you guys what a touching experience it was for me. To see my raza, my people, whose lives have been touched by Morrissey in the same way. As a proud Mexican man in my twenties, I can honestly say I have rarely seen anything bring my people together the way Morrisey does.

Thank you guys on Thursday for being there to make my first Morrissey concert that much better. I'm just glad he didn't play "I Know It's Over" or I might have broken down...

I went Thursday and today, Moz talked more Thursday but today the crowd was way more into it tonight! Plus the playlist was switched around , I liked First of the gang to die better than daddy's voice for the encore. Great opening with how soon is now! MOZ was more sarcastic today but it was funny addressing the crowd as St Louis and talking about how wonderful Pasadena is with Rite Aid and when the crowd started chanting Morrissey he said " What are you saying Misery" ! Also saw Rob Shiender outside taking picutes of the Morrisey posters , He said he really enjoyed the show! All and all great night and experience I will never forget!

Show was better than I expected , I know MOZ is great but now I love him even more. It's amazing how a man from Manchester England could have such a huge hispanic following in Southern California. Only MOZ could be so diverse.

for my last rant cmon moderator

I truly hope to God that he got into the venue to see the show, after hopefully being given a ticket by a kindly fellow Moz Nut...

You'll know it was Swallowneck because he will have been dressed like a retired boxer and smelling of Brut aftershave. He'll have been spotted chatting to fans outside and inside the venue, before, during and after the show.

He'll be on the plane now flying back to Sewersby Bridge.

did anyone see morrissey eating that turkey hoagie??? omg didn't know he was into sub sandwiches...OH WELL!

You look more like Gary Glitter and you need a face lift to hide those crows feet.

Chamo

From my perspective, it seemed that the crowd was a little more enthusiastic on Thursday night, but the crowd was still pretty good last night. I think the current set list is a bit more successful than on the Quarry Tour, during which I noticed a lot of people sitting in their seats, etc. "Irish Blood, English Heart" and "Everyday Is Like Sunday" seemed to be the crowd favorites. No one got on stage last night. I could only see one guy possibly trying it. Morrissey threw out three shirts again. He was hit in the head by some flying flowers and also batted a blown-up condom back into the audience, which he seemed to find funny.

About Julia: He started talking to Julia and said, "Julia, how do you feel about the booing?" to which she replied something like, "People can do whatever they want, we're just here to support you." Morrissey really looked like he thought that was funny. There was some more booing and Morrissey said, "As always, Julia is right. And if you boo, you're just jealous jealous jealous jealous JEALOUS!" This got a lot of laughs.

About the Super Bowl: "And as for tomorrow, my pick is the Denver Omelettes."

At one point, he said, "I am Chester Bennington."

I noticed that Morrissey has changed the lyrics in Life Is a Pigsty from "Every second of my life, I have only lived for you" to the more grammatically correct, "...I have lived ONLY for you."

How was that? Were there many fans there? Cool crowd? Thanks..I went to the Thursday afterparty at Vive and that sucked and swallowed.

I was sitting Orch RC Row W, and let me tell you that Im TRULLY DISAPPOINTED! Never had I been to a moz gig and seen soo many lame ass "fans" than last night, on and off I would notice about 10-15 fuckers SITTING DOWN!! I was this close to actually taking a picture of them, as Id managed to sneek in my digi, and post the pictures up on this site to shame them looser! Its a travisty of justice to see ANYONE sitting down at a moz gig. But, it wasnt only over in my section, I can see way over yonder to the pit, and noticed NOT ONE ATTEMPT to take the STAGE! WTF is that about? Morrissey literally beg you fuckers in the pit to jump on stage during Everyday Is Like Sunday, for you to fail and seize such an invation should mean a full return of your "Im a Morrissey fan member card". I dont give a fuck but, IF Id of gotten pit, youd of seem my fat ass up on stage shaking Morrissey hand, what a waste. Ive been going to Moz gigs since the Kill Uncle Tour and never ever, NEVER had a I seen such a DEAD crowd. Cant blame it on the setlist, reguardless if some of the songs were on the "slow" side, its an unspoken rule that you dont sit down at a Moz gig. I mean, my whole section, was a joke, hardly nobody dancing, barely some singing, you could only hear some poor fuckers like my self, yelling out for Moz when the Morrissey Morrissey Morrissey chants would launch.
Morrissey did his bit but ,the crowd didnt deliver. Shit, as I knew all the fuckers in my section payed the 91.48 per ticket, Id of thought people would of gone all out.

Jay, it was very cool to see you before the gig, didnt see anyone else from the site, saw the ususal suspect JoseR M. from Hooligans chatting up a gaggle of 17yr old chicks out in the front by the gates before the gig. Funny bit, as I was adjusting my digi before "inspection" there were two other random fuckers doing the same thing.

Thank you Moz for such a great performance on your part. Next time have the crew fill the central airconditing with some sort of "happy air"

*WTF was up with the Merch. I get there around 8:45 and there was no XL shirts, no belt buckles as Id been told they had, no tour programs. And a wopping $35 clams for a Tshirt? Sorry Moz, but, I gave a tenner to the bootleg Tshirt cunts outside and score an almost identical shirt to your $35s.

Great Show Saturday! The Real fans enjoyed it and who cares about the others!

Although I've been a fan since the Smiths.
So where can I find Bootlegs? Anyone have any contacts?

Well last night was my favorite of all three probably because that was the night were I was closest. Does anybody where everyone in the pit got passes for that? I had no idea that was available. As for those dudes in the crowd fighting over a t-shirt. As I was leaving last night I saw a small group of them still fighting over it and I think a police officer ended up taking it away. How horrible. All in all for the shows, Im glad that I finally made to a Morrissey show that wasnt cancelled. I would have been devastated to have driven from Stockton all by my lonesome to have found out he had grown ill again. Thanks to those around me for keeping me company every night and allowing my Morrissey experience truly amazing. Highlight was definately 'William, it was Really Nothing' and 'Panic'.

What are the names of the singers/bands of the videos played before morrissey began his set? i believe 2 were in spanish and one was a rockabilly video of twist? Any links or place i can find it?

Swallowneck was detained for an hour in Leeds/Bradford airport and not for the first time either! His favourite airport trick is to walk through customs like he has something hidden up his arse in the hope that some burly official will subject him to a full cavity search - deep and hard!!!

It takes all kinds to make a world, I guess...

last night was the very first time i had ever gone to a concert without my parents or anybody i know it may seem like nothing but to me it was like "woah!!! im free to do what i please"
but still i had my mom keep calling me on hte phone asking me if morrissey actualy showed up
when she was a fan of morrissey she went to see him in concert and got mad or something because he only played for a little while then got of stage angered by something i guess, well this was MY TURN to see for myself! she said " its your turn to be disappointed,im sorry but i wasn't and hopefully next time? she might want to come...i dont know.

funny thing
he sang disappointed and i just had to take some time to reflect from my screaming and jumping ...lol

Just when I think I'm getting over Moz I see him in concert and find myself crying like a baby. "Please Please Please..." gets me every time (it was my first Smiths song). I had a great time and he looked fantastic. I was a bit sad to not see Alain and Gary on stage with him but the new band sounded great and really pulled off the Smiths songs.

My best friend and fiance met Rob Schneider outside after the show - who knew he was a Morrissey fan!

was there a sense that it'd be the last concert this year (the Pasadena shows were rumoured to be the end of the Ringleader tour)?

What were his parting words?

Three shows in a row, you lucky sods...

Is that blond lady Jose Maldonado's significant other?? Sorry for the distraction; just wondering...

Set list didnt have "Ganglord"..Did It?? on it

it was cool meeting you guys in line, it made the experience all the more fun. by the way, thanks for the blankets, sleeping bag and the company. also all 3 shows were amazing even if they were the same setlist, its still morrissey on stage singing so to all the people talking shit on this site, shut up.

EASTSIDE

this was forwarded to us today. thought it was clever.

http://denver.craigslist.org/mis/273377910.html

I went to the saturday show, and what stood out to me the most was: Seeing him lay down on the floor while that song that comes on at the end of "Asleep", that little piano(Whatever it is on the outro),Well it was that, Plea to guilty, and Ganglord that I liked the most.

When the opening artist was performing (sat night). she seemed some kind of upset. she once said "i've had enough" and than she made a comment "i dont remember singing any mexican song on thurs.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT WAS THIS ABOUT....??

leaving Los Angeles, I commented to my friends in the car as we drove past the Hollywood sign, how I imagined Morrissey, this sunny Sunday morning, going out to breakfast, sitting somewhere in some quiet tucked-away crevice in LA. when i said i could imagine him maybe even ordering coffee today, instead of tea, one of my friends protested, "No, my Morrissey doesn't drink coffee and he doesn't go out for breakfast" Her comment made me realize how Morrissey is like that depache mode song. Each of us has "Our Own Personal Morrissey." just as we can each have our 'own personal Jesus' should we so choose. We then took turns describing what each of our own personal Morrsseys was doing this particular beautiful sunny Sunday. a Sunday in no way "silent or gray." When someone said that their Morrissey never gets up before 1:00 pm because that's when the fog has maybe cleared a bit in Manchester (irregardless of what city,country or continent he might be on) another of us said that their Morrissey has become a morning-person, during his time living in LA. the morning sunlight should not be missed.
anyway, here are a few of my initial observations about the Pasadena, Feb 3 show. it was fab!!!!! flowers were confiscated at security checkpoint going in, but a few glads made it through. a couple of inflated condoms were bounced around, and when one actually got close to Morrissey he gave it a swat and it went back into the crowd. then it disappeared and was not seen again. wow, what a cool memento: a condom with Morrissey's fingerprints on it. yum.
a friend that went with us who was seeing Moz for the first time enjoyed the show. at the end she commented about how it seemed he had flirted with everyone in the theatre. and then looking at the priest poster in the lobby she said, "I think one secret of his appeal is that he swings both ways." I laughed. that phrase sounds like something from the 50s. it was the same phrase I had been thinking when we were viewing the James Dean screen tests that were shown before Morrissey and the band came on stage. Morrissey does seem to be paying attention to the ladies more these days. at the end when they came out together for bows he did a sort of mime routine with Kristeen Young. He seems to have fun with the women around him, Julia and Kristeen included. But at the same time he so obviously smoulders with other sexual innuendo directed at the male anatomy. all of it together makes a spicy sexual cocktail.
back to My Own Personal Morrissey--one of my friends in the car on the way back said "my Morrissey doesn't work out." Another person in the car who hadn't gone to the concert (my hubbie actually) said "well, how does he look when he takes his shirt off? is he attractive to look at?" I blurted my answer out first "well, if you're already in love with him, then he looks delicious. "
my friend who was seeing Moz for the first time is a "local" she's lived in Hollywood for the last 6 years. when Morrissey made the comments about there being a special private party later at the botanical gardens, she howled with laughter. she said it was a reference to some gorgeous private estate that is exclusivly exclusive. I loved that whole comment. it's part of Morrissey's appeal. he stands there and seems to be inviting the whole crowd over somewhere to meet him alone. I think this is part of Morrissey's borrowing from a past life. it is like the madam who invites special gentlement customers to see a private dancer, but when the john is going to the place he doesn't know what will await him there. a dark eyed beauty or a black-eyed thug. sex and danger. so Morrissey. when Morrissey teases his audiences with these comments to "come on over and see me later at this spot..." it evokes the same feelings in me. last comment I made about Morrissey's physique and exercise: He is doing a lot of heavy lifting already, carrying that big brain around all the time.
