So how was it!!! How was the crowd? Was he in good spirits? Setlist seems cool. Place packed?

How was it? Did he really do Lucky Lisp? I find that hard to believe. How was Kristeen Young's set?

he made lots of little jokes throughout the evening. said he stayed at the Holocaust Inn in Stockton last night and was awakened this morning at 7 by the mandatory vacuuming. he made a lot of tongue-in-cheek comments about Stockton. said he had family that lives there. also said that Stockton means one thing in TV land: The Big Valley. he seemed in very good spirits. only threw one shirt into the crowd.

That setlist is nearly complete; just missing a couple songs. He played Disappointed in between Boy and Suedehead. He also played How Soon Is Now between Disco and You Have Killed Me.

I was ecstatic that he opened with The Queen Is Dead and indeed played Lucky Lisp!

Good opening show, but the stage jumpers got out of control by the end, especially the last guy who wouldn't let go and forced Moz to shut down and leave the stage not even halfway through First of the Gang to Die. Seems like there were close to 20 people who got on stage throughout the evening, but I lost count after a while.

For those who were there and Moz couldn't finish his concert. You folks missed out, if he was gone play "There Is A Light..." like stated earlier. I can understand the need to get close to him and invade the stage, but dont tackle the guy down or force him off the mic. I would have been really upset.

Check out a review of the show now at Recordnet.com!

Okay, so I've seen Moz and The Smiths too many times to count, but it was the first time seeing him tonight for my two daughters aged 19 and 15.

Both of them made it on stage tonight to greet Morrissey, One during "Life Is A Pigsty" and the other during the aborted "First of the Gang to Die".

It was amazing to say the least...

rather brilliant performance. i mean it would have been brilliant if he just drove through stockton. anybody up for jeff in the box?

he's stopped playing the youngest was the most loved, but he's still playing one of his worst ever singles, in the future...

Does anyone know the last time Morrissey played this song live? It seems like forever since I've heard of him playing it. It's definitely one of my favorite songs.

Someone who went to this show is saying that he was suppose to close with There Is a Light That Never Goes Out. THERE'S HOPE!

Did anyone check out the merchandis being sold?Tshirts,posters etc?

Nobody has mentioned the intro music which is back to "the imperfect list".

Hi,
Does anyone know what time Morrissey came on stage?
I'm trying to figure it out for my drive to Oakland next week...

-Teenagegirl101

... with a knit cap pulled tightly over his head and trying to look incognito on the way to the tour bus, you should have seen the smirk (you know the one, where he's smiling while biting the inside of his cheek) on his face. As much as he chose to not finish FOTGTD, events like last night add to the legend even more.

Think about it. The first show of his North American tour and forevermore his history will document yet another show (even at this stage of his career) where the fans are just to fervent a force for the security to handle, and Morrissey has to be escorted off for his protection.

Brilliantly played.

I remember a time when the fans hugged Morrissey (lightly & breifly) and threw flowers. I'm glad that Morrissey continues to perform .... 3 decades. Maybe he doen't want to get hurt. Maybe I want to see him perform again years from now. It's time for fans to find a new way to express their passion. I miss the flowers.

The Bob Hope Theater was a great venue. It was an old Fox movie theater, box beam ceilings, mosiac floors, and a great neon marque. I'll remember the show for a many many years. I'm excited about the kind of show I will see in Sparks, NV tomorrow. Just think about, Morrissey at a casino.

Man, please don't change by the time you come round to my parts! (Dallas)

That setlist is so good it hurts!
And with a possible "There Is A Light..." closer?
Ugh! Perfection!

Otherwise a near perfect set.

i am mainly thankful that it didn't get truly ridiculous until the encore.

all at the expense of "first of the gang.." and (probably) "there is a light.."

sigh.

i know it's pointless to ask, because people are unreasonable, but for the future shows..Dear God, Please Don't Invade. if it happens too much or is too aggressive it can literally ruin the show for sooo many people, some of whom haven't seen morrissey before.

usually, stage invaders are ejected from the venue as well, so even if they don't cause the show to be cut short for everyone, they Do get the show cut short for themselves because they are kicked out.

i know it's exciting to get up there and possibly touch morrissey, but at heart, it's a selfish act. Please think it over before you do it and possibly ruin the show for hundreds of other people. can't you just enjoy the experience for what really matters..the music you love; the songs that saved your life?

Oh god, so many of my favorite songs:
The Queen Is Dead
National Front Disco
You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side
Please, Please...
etc,etc,etc...

Nice to see him cutting out a bit of ROTT. If he kept this setlist for the Milwaukee show, I'd be a happy girl indeed.

Just do what you always do. There is no proof Morrissey was going to end with There Is A Light. Just some anti-invader wanker made up the final song was going to be TIAL--the most appreciated smiths/morrissey song ever--just to stir up more anti stage invador protest on morrissey solo. For fuck's sake, they have been part of morrissey shows forever, and only now the old farts with a bad back are complaining.

Rock and roll dude!!

damn that's a lot. and a very fan-favorite setlist. I always felt morrissey plays better shows in the US recently, probably because he feels more forced to compromise with the setlist in order to fill the venues. In uk, where he will sell-out, he plays more of what he wants (meaning recently very ROTT)

He looked fantastic. Looks like he's lost a few pounds and was having a good time. Glad the beard was gone too.

Tried to listen better to clarify the lyrics to All You Need Is Me, but the sound when up close to the stage is too distorted and I think Mozzer mumbles the lyrics in the 2nd quatrain (the part in between "You roll you eyes up to the sky" and "but you're still here")

Backdrop is famous one of James Dean looking over his shoulder at the snowy, Dean family gravesite in Fairmount, IN (see Suedehead viddy).

Intermission viddies had at least one new one of an effeminate man with a ballerina/tap dancer whom he mistreats (singing & dancing -- before Lipsynka viddy), and there's also another one that appears to be a film clip of these male English actors in b/w.

I wrote the following last night:

Am still in shock. Moz opened with The Queen Is Dead!!!! Haven't heard him play it live since Claremont 97.

Excellent show though the stage crashers were out of hand and forced him to quit early, depriving Stockton of There Is A Light encore. I know this because of the setlist.

Moz in top form but the sound was poor -- too much guitar in the mix and Mozzer's mic didn't seem to work all the time. He even dropped it a couple of times.

This really was the Greatest Hits tour. The t-shirts (designs are nothing much to shout about) proclaim it's his greatest hits tour in the United States, but they are too lazy to print the dates on the back. There is also a very funny one that says Moz Posse, I guess like the Moz Krew?! But at $35, that joke is too expensive for me.

Played all the faves (even ones I think are cliched like HSIN) such as EDILS, Suedehead, HSIN (of course)...and Boy w/ the Thorn in His Side!!! WOw, now if he would only play Reel Around the Fountain, Handsome Devil, and Some Girls...I think I could die fulfilled.

I am so glad I came to Stockton! Tomorrow I will attend the asparagus festival (Moz joked by welcoming us to the first day of the...asparagus festival). Then onward ho to Sparks!

I saw lots and lots of cameras out there in the crowd... I know there are tons of pictures out there, much better than any I was able to take from the balcony...

I have about 30 pictures and 30+ videos, including the FOTGTD fan grabbing incident which caused him to cut the show short on video. I will be posting everything on YouTube once I get back from Sparks. Some of the video is fantastic (although the audio is weak of course). If anyone is interested in the videos, I'll post a link here once I get them up. See you all in Sparks! (who would have ever thought?)

What single or album is it on

"There is a Light That Never Goes Out." That was the last song listed on the setlist thrown from the stage at the end of the show. (Which I don't have, but which was graciously shown to me by the woman who caught it.)
And if you haven't already, read my review now at www.recordnet.com!

that looks like one of the best set lists i've ever seen 'em play! thank you moz!

http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?t= 71929 If what happened at this show is a thing of things to come, the Sparks show will be riotous..unless they have a lot of security. Before the set started people got out of their seats and lined the stage, the security wanted everyone back but it was to no avail. set list 1.The Queen Is Dead 2. Irish Blood English Heart 3.

First Of The Gang To Die This song was only partially performed . Many stage invaders got on and it was getting riotous. The bouncers, who prior to this were taking people off stage politely,but now they were charging them and throwing them off violently. I don't blame them though. The people getting onto the stage were being very rude to old Mogsy. Morrissey was talkative throughout, but was having sound problems. As he approached the audience end of the stage he was getting feedback, so he would sing most of the time, mid-stage. He said he liked the Bob Hope Theater because Bob Hope was British. He said in the begining...Welcome to the start of the....Asparagus Festival. He talked about Stockton and the TV show Big Valley with Barbra Stanwick? The music prior to this set was a video of some Spanish TV program, an old concert piece of the New York Dolls, A Wardrobe screen test of James Dan from East of Eden, and I think, Bridget Bandeau in an old video,,her by an old Rolls Royce. There are 10 different shirts being sold for $35. A belt buckle for $20 and a Money Clip for $15. On charcoal in color and one brown with a younger Morrissey picture on the front With America 2007 on the back. A white Seasons T and one called Morrissey cream Tattoo. A navy blue saying Morrissey Greatest hits 2007 with a screening of a pair of boxing gloves. also a girlie T and a blur beater type and a white beater type with same greatest hits. (I think that was all) And yours truly made a mark with old Mogsy. When Pigsty was started I took out my prepared banner/sign, and as he looked my direction, I held it up and I saw him read it...."I CAN"T REACH YOU ANYMORE" I was near he stage n the right but not at stage edge. As the song progressed, and it came to that line of the song, he came to my end of the stage and I was holding the sign up. He came to me and those around and in front..I leaned in and reached toward me and squeezed/shook my hand!!!! He then back off toward stage middle, and as he did, I tossed my sign toward him, and it hit him in the head/face. ( I didn't intend that to happen) He then took the sign, looked a little at it and tucked an end of it into his trousers and it hung down his leg. He finished the song, went off stage and came back with a changed shirt. My sign was left in the back I guess. He changed shirt 2 times. First shirt went into the crowd. Oh...after he went off stage to change shirt..I wrote a little not saying "I apologize for throwing my sign in your face." and put my email address on it. I threw this onto the stage. The bouncer picked up the note. So don't know if Moz will see/read it. I hope so. That is all. It is late..and I can't hear out of my right ear from standing next to the speaker stack. I actually chewed up some paper and made wads for each ear as ear plugs because it was so loud. Helped a little. What? ---- Quote: Originally Posted by Grim O'Grady TSoGS oh you lucky bugger, you must let us know what Moz emails you? How big was that banner you whacked him with & what was it made of?

Read the rest of this comment...

I dont know if it will make anyone feel better, but...

When that last idiot that tackled Morrissey got thrown off stage he landed on the floor right next to me. I looked up for a second to see Mozz and the band exiting and I got so pissed I turned around and kicked that fucker right in the ribs and told him he ruined the show. He got up and RAN the hell out of there.

I looked for him outside, but no luck.

Still a great show! There is a light... would have been a perfect capper.

-Guardo

I was there. I was the 2nd person to shake his hand. I want a copy of the show. Can anyone help? Maybe we can work a trade.

Cheers

I cant find the band details anywhere above.... I am presuming that Gary is still absent?? and if so how is the new bass player???

yeah...if I ever see that guy I will punch, tackle and scratch at him!!!that was not only rude but disrespectful to him and his fans to have some moron jump and literally punch, tackle, and scratch at him...LET THE VOICE COME TO YOU...he loves his fans...but thanks to JACKASS he feared them....and walked away leaving us with half of a great encore...

For those of you who havenīt seen it, thereīs another enjoyable & detailed review (by TommyDaniels) here:

http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?t= 71929

The old man's still got it, haven't seen him live since 1996 at the Greek in Berkeley. It was a great concert, until some a**hole ruined for the rest of us. I guess some people haven't figured out that stage diving is so 10 years ago...Thank you Morrissey for a brilliant show, and please forgive me for calling you an old man..it takes one to know one

Was the song played more like the album version or electric like Johnny played it on The Queen Is Dead Tour??

He actually got on stage twice... read on...

My wife and I were sat directly next to the guy who tackled Morrissey and got the show ended early. When my wife and I first got to the show and were seated the guy looked like he gave me a dirty look as we filed passed him to our seats (maybe I mis-read his facial expression). He was a big burly Latino guy who my wife and I later after the show ended referred to as "Hector". His wife (or whom ever she was, we didn't know for sure at the time) was pregnant and they had smuggled in what looked like a full size digital camera. The pregnant woman was sat directly next to my wife mentioned to my wife that "her husband" was going to get onstage and he wanted her to take his picture when he got up there. She told my wife she was reluctant to take his picture because the camera they brought kept flashing and it made her nervous. About halfway through the show he successfully made it onstage and I believe he touched Mozzer. I don't know if his wife was able to get his picture. He was escorted back to his seat where the pregnant woman he was with (his wife) gave him a hug and several people gave him thumbs up. Well I guess one stage rush was not enough for this guy because he again made his way down the left side of the stage (with his wife this time) and somehow got passed the security. I saw him briefly talking to the security people and pointing to his wife's stomach. Maybe he was explaining that she was pregnant? I am not sure but that security person let him through and I lost site of him until he tackled Morrissey and the show ended. I did see him after the lights came on being escorted by security up the left side of the auditorium and he did not look bloodied or hurt but he did have a look of shame in his eyes.

Does anyone have any photos of the merchandise perhaps... say the belt buckle and money clip maybe?

& Did Kirsteen Young have any merchandise as well?

I guess I will always be curious to see if he would of closed with "light that never goes out"...I was piss in your pants estatic that he played "boy with a thorn"...I was all around happy to hear some oldies up in the mix...

Leave it to some dumb-ass to mess up a perfect Morrissey Show!!!! That Guy Really Needs to Get Hurt!! Whos WIth ME!!

the bitch needs to get his ass to canada!

i jumped stage that night and i was so close to touching him but i was one of the first people not the but heads later on. That guy got beat up pretty badley cos i was next to him

I really enjoyed this show. It was beyond amazing, except for the jackass that had to bum rush Morrissey. Fans shouldnt be so violent to him. He was suppose to end the show with There Is a Light That Never Goes Out. I know because i got one of the setlists. BUT it never happened. I was speechless when he opened with Queen Is Dead. And Life is a Pigsty was fucking awesome.

I had front row seats which cost me an arm and a leg. Now only did he grab my hand, I got a huge chunk of his black buttonup he threw out to the audience. That wasnt easy to get. I ended up ripping a few pieces off for fellow fans. I wasnt going to be selfish. It smells like a mix of incense and greatness!!

I got really good pictures and videos too with my camera phone.

Let me get this straight, some cunts were pissed that a guy got overzealous during an encore, and so decided that it was their duty to track the guy down and beat him? Seriously? This is the new standard at Morrissey concerts? Fucking pathetic.

It's absolutely absurd that this "Guardo" (terrible name) character is being canonized on here, and puffing himself up as a vigilante.

It's just another example of the ghettoizing of Morrissey's fan-base which has grown to posses little intelligence. I've seen this happen at more than one show. Some cholo in the audience feels it's his duty to be the audience enforcer, yet only makes the rest of the crowd tense with the encouragement of the mob mentality.

Security is there. It's their job to deal with these scenarios, not yours. Nothing justified lynching the guy, and anyone who is applauding, or encouraging this kind of behavior is morally corrupt.

Sucker kicking a guy is nothing to be proud of. It just shows how far removed you are from civilization.

I am trying to find a couple pics to use as a CD cover to burn a mix of the set list for my boy...My phone cam crapped out on me. When I first met him a year ago he did not really know Moz/The Smiths or care for him...However when Morrissey tickets showed up and he bought them for me I was so happy...So I tried to get him all into by playing CDs and DVDs...

At the concert he bought us both tshirts and he was so floored that Moz did "Boy With a Thorn..." since I always say that song reminds me of him...We live in Modesto but decided to stay in Stockton for the night and the next day we were just amazed by the night before. Yesterday when he went home he took a stack of Moz/the Smiths cds to listen to...and he plans on wearing his shirt...:)

Our 1 year is coming up and being the art-fart that I am I want to create something with memory so I though to do a cd with a few photos...Can anyone help?
