    So did anyone actually get arrested? (Score:0)
    This is what Borgata staff threatened us with as we lined up tonight. "If you try and get on the stage tonight you will be arrested for trespassing!" Crowd looked miniscule at the beginning of Kristeen's set but grew substantially. Raucous, rowdy crowd by showtime. Got very wild up near the barrier. Was able to get the cuff of Moz's black shirt. First one of three to come off during the night. One girl got up on stage early on. Then during Playboys, quite a few attempts, but very few successes. Don't know how the ones who got up there managed to jump the barricade as it was very high. Very friendly crowd helping each other during the complete chaos at the end. Great night to end the tour on. Met some very nice fans from the area as well. Hi to you all.

    Probably the last time I'll see Moz as I am moving to far off places. Can smell incensed cologne coming from my pocket as I type, so no complaints from me.

    love,

    Borgata vs. Mann Center (Score:1)
    Having gone to both shows, (The Mann Center being my first Moz concert ever!) I hafta say I liked the Mann Center performance better. Or maybe I just have personal space issues because I was in the standing room up front this time haha. He seemed a little more into joking with the crowd and did alot more vocal flourishes at the Mann. But tonight was still an amazing night.

    "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" could possibly be one of my favorite Moz tunes of all time. I'm a bit worried though, after he finished the song he told Julia that he didn't think the crowd liked it very much. (when really I'm sure they were all just listening intently trying to learn the song!) I could see it being a 2nd or 3rd single from his new CD, though he'll prolly lead off with a harder hitting song.

    Oh and Kristeen Young was very sexy although I'll admit I almost never can understand what she's singing.

    I Kissed Morrissey (Score:1)
    What an utterly amazing night. I am still in shock and still trying to process what just happened. I was onstage and kissed Morrissey.. ..And no, I didn't get arrested; I made it out just fine! I was talking with these two guys all night and I mentioned to them that I wanted to get up there, and they told me they would help me. I knew I wanted to go for it, but didn't know if it was possible because it seemed like a pretty good jump. Then in the middle of the last song (International playboys), my two new friends looked at me and we went for it!! I thought I was done b/c two security guards grabbed me as soon as I got over, but then Morrissey came over and grabbed my hand. It was a tug of war for a minute, but then they let me go and Morrissey pulled me up!! How unbelievable?! When I got up there I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek!! I jumped off the stage and nobody said anything to me. As soon as I got off so many nice people were slapping me five and this one awesome girl gave me a hug but all I could do is cry and cry....
            On top of my ridiculous luck, I managed to get a piece of his shirt, thanks to these three nice people who were splitting it up. Thank you so much for my little shard of shirt, I will treasure it forever!! It even smells like him!! I also have to thank my boyfriend Bruce who tried desperately to get me a piece of the shirt too. Most of all, I want to thank those two wonderful guys who catapulted me over the barrier, without you there is no way I would have ever made it, and Morrissey for grabbing my hand and pulling me up!!! I love all of you, thank you for an amazing night! If anyone has any pictures of me on stage I would greatly greatly appreciate it if you would get in touch with me. Please feel free to email me at geekycheeks@yahoo.com. I hope everyone who was there had as much fun as I did, it was definitely a night I will never forget!

    What was with Security tonight?? (Score:1)
    What a great concert tonight to end the tour!! Moz was in fine form and very chatty with the audience throughout. A couple of cracks in the voice but he overcame it well and was heartfelt on all of the lyrics and looked genuinely glad to be there. I finally got the answers to who "Julia" is. He asked her at one point why the audience was screaming for him. Her answer was "appreciation" (and some other stuff I couldn't make out.) We got to hear the new stuff including "Paris" which I thought was quite good.
        I found the antics of security a bit disturbing on the encore. They were very rough with the stage invaders especially one chap who was thrown to the ground when he made it onto the stage, managed to crawl across the stage to Morrissey despite being physically blanketed by security, only to almost reach Moz and then be thrown (that's what it looked like to me) back into the audience. It was unnecessary and disturbing to watch. I think they got too carried away with their job and didn't need to be that physical with the fans. I don't think Moz was too thrilled about it either.
          The place did not look full to me with most of the people in the bleachers moving down to the pit area. I wonder how many seats went unsold after the original cancellation and rescheduling. I thought Moz deserved a better showing of his fans. The place holds about 2500 and their might have been 1/2 that there.
          Kristeen's set was unintelligible. My husband and I did not understand one word of her lyrics. We were concerned it was the acoustics of the venue causing it, but Moz was very easy to understand throughout. So it must have been her or the mix by the sound board. The music sounded interesting enough, but who the heck knows what she was singing about!
          I can now die a happy girl...I got to hear "Please,Please, Let Me Get What I Want." Thanks for everything tonight, Moz. Words can't describe how much that song means to me.

    I know it's over... Overall impressions of show (Score:0)
    First, I thought tonight was much better than the Mann show. The acoustics seemed much better in the indoors venue, and I, for one, like the Borgata Event Center b/c the GA tix allow you to get close to the stage. It's a fan-friendly setup!

    Moz was very talkative. He spoke to Julia frequently. He asked, "Why do people scream? Julia, why do they scream?" He couldn't find her for a moment, and asked, "Julia's left the building?" Then he gave her the mic and she said, "Appreciation. Jubilation." He replied something like, "I don't think so. You're just being nice."

    At another point there was a young boy, and Moz asked his name and offered the mic. He said, "Kyle." Moz didn't understand, then butchered the name before finally getting it right. He was truly embarrassed and walked away as the band started the next song. Touching moment.

    Another stand out exchange was with a couple of Argentian fans, who asked Moz to play their counry. He asked where, and they said a city I didn't catch, but later on Moz said, "Buenes Aires", which I took to mean he would rather play there?

    He introduced the band, saying most of them were "rough" and "ready", but for Boz he said something like, "He who must be obeyed". Towards the end, the band and Moz interlocked arms and took a bow. The evening seemed to have a theme of fan appreciation throughout.

    The usual lyrical changes were made (Americans sick of Republicans, Fox News) etc.

    He left out Pigsty and TIALTWNGO. Like the T-shirts for sale at the show, the new songs seem flat to me, without much of a hook. But all in all, the band was fantastic and my friends and I had a great time. Well, I wonder, is this the last time I'll see Moz?

    Thank you, Morrissey.

    the problem is they arent your average venue security, its the same security they use for the casino. This is the 2nd concert Ive seen there and believe me they dont put up with shit. It really was great however to see them chasing the fans around on stage at the end of Playboys.
    Other than that an amazing show, my first Moz show. Cant say I got to shake his hand or anything but we had some serious prolonged eye contact during Please Please Please & Thorn. My god that was better than sex!

    I've seen Moz several times, but this ranks up there among the best. Waaaaaay better than the Philly show last night. Got there hours early, waited in line forever, but it was worth it. Despite threats that we'd be "Arrested for trespassing"...dude, seriously. Got a great spot up front when doors opened, right behind Julia. Sitting through Kristeen Young wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. I don't think I'll be buying her record anytime soon, but I've heard worse. Although whoever told her her eye makeup looks good like that should probably be shot, but I digress...Moz came out, and gave it to us one great song after another, the tempo did not let up at all. Knew it would be a good one when 2 out of the first 3 songs were tunes he did not play the night before. The crowd in my area was very energetic. I almost cried during "Everyday Is Like Sunday" Managed to get a piece of the last shirt he threw out, which smells phenomenal- anyone have any clue what scent that is he wears? But yeah, many thanks to the 3 or 4 very cool people I shared the last shirt with- I don't think I've ever had a tighter deathgrip on anything in my life, thanks for not cutting or burning my fingers off- our teamwork let us all go home with a wonderfully scented souvenir.

        Fights, being trampled and the shirt (Score:0)
        Why did my flowers get taken away at the door? I saw plenty being thrown at Morrissey.

        Also, that fight for the last shirt was disgusting. I almost got trampled. I have it all on video. After I calmed myself and caught my breath, I went back over to the fight, cut myself a piece of shirt and walked away. Stupid boys were still fighting over it after 5 minutes.
        I'm just pissed because there were little kids in that audience. I hope the one in front of me got out ok.

        I got to meet a few people from here which was awesome. I also found out that there were some bitches in the audience. Cat fights all over.
        If anyone was standing behind Julia with me, did you see this?

        Great show, but awful crowd (in my area that is).
        I have bruises like I went to a Slayer show..LOL

        Long, perhaps redundant (?) review (Score:1)
        After much strife and disappointment with the cancellation of the two shows I had planned on going to, it was fantastic to finally see Morrissey. And on the last night of the tour to boot. Only my third show ever, in addition to two I saw in the UK in December. I hope this isn’t the last I will see of our well-dressed friend…

        As previously stated, the venue was quite small and not sold out; though you’d never know it up front, where the energy was high and the adoration palpable.
        I feel it necessary to offer my apologies to those near me ( front center three ‘rows’ back ?) that i accidentally shoved or elbowed. I'm sure everyone's used to it, but still...

        Generally speaking, it was a crowd of nice, friendly people. I met some kind people in line, including the girl who gave me a rose from her boquet so I could give it to Moz. Too bad they took all the flowers away…Still ,thanks! I especially want to thank the girl slightly behind me who helped my shorter redhead friend get back a bit closer to me. Somebody moved at one point, and you helped nudge her into the new spot instead of taking it for yourself. That was very kind and much appreciated.

        Kristeen is not quite my cup of tea, and I do have a hard time understanding what she says, but she was nice tonight. I like her comment that went something like " I know this is Morrissey's show, and this is your house, and i would just like to thank you for welcoming me into your house." That was pretty classy. I was highly amused to see two burly security guards come out before her set with the sole task of sprinkling glitter onto cymbols and drums. I also enjoyed that Baby Jeff came out with a lollipop.

        After Kristeen was the usual video, and then a man came and sprayed something into the audience all along the stage. Since I haven’t had the privilege of going to any other shows on this tour - and had not yet seen this happen – I can only assume he was spraying cologne? Please enlighten me if you know what this was all about.

        The beginning of the set was great; starting with Panic ( which I hoped would be TQID), then moving into another uptempo crowd pleaser FOTGTD. After this was The Youngest Was the Most Loved (my favorite from Ringleader), and then All You Need is Me. How true. Not long after this was Boz on the clarinet telling me that I would be a happy girl since I would get to hear Whatever Happens, I Love You.

        That’s all I remember for the order or songs…though seeing as there is no setlist yet posted, I will take a stab at naming the ones he played:
        You’re Gonna Need Someone, Let Me Kiss You, Girlfriend, The Boy with the Thorn, HSIN?, Please,Please Please…, Everyday is Like Sunday, Disappointed, You Have Killed Me, In the Future.., I Just Want to See the Boy Happy, Irish Blood English Heart, National Front Disco, That’s How People Grow Up, I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris, The Last of the Famous…

        He did the usual adlibs, and dropped some lyrics here and there for one reason or another. He was pretty talkative and charming with the crowd, letting several people speak. He did find Julia, though I still don’t know what she looks like, and he asked her the question about why people scream. Her answer was honest, but I would have preferred to hear something a little more along the lines of “we scream simply because it is much easier than forming coherent sentences when overly excited.” Some person also asked him to kiss her hand, and Morrissey did not seem very pleased. He backed away a couple of steps, muttering something, and eventually one of the guards whipped it out of the lady’s hand and gave the mic back to him.

        He barely sang any of International Playboys before more people started trying to get on stage. (There were a few successful stage invaders before this). Then security pretty much freaked out, as others have written about, includinf the kid who got bodyslammed or clotheslined or something equally unpleasant. Moz kind of raised an eyebrow and shook his head in disapproval.

            "Beautiful Anarchist" (Score:1)
            Last night was a strange show.

            As others have pointed out, the place was only half full. You would not know that up front, where mayhem prevailed.

            Morrissey seemed visibly unenthused, I thought. A different man from the night before, when he was positively glowing. To his credit, he did not phone it in, he really made an effort.

            The highlight for me was "Please, Please, Please," which was absolutely stunning. It seemed like he squeezed the whole American tour into that one. The depth of his emotion was epic.

            This was the first time that I have been right up front, and I now understand - Morrissey is the best smelling man alive. Really, I get it. I went weak at the kness when I got a whiff of him - he has pheremones that just won't quit. I'm not the kind of person who generally enjoys other people's sweat, but Morrissey is a walking chemical reaction. ; )

            On our way home, my husband and I dropped by a rest stop on the Parkway. It was very late, and the place was closed up and terribly depressing. I was feeling kinda down, and somehow a bit conflicted about the whole evening. Then I met a lovely couple - I think it may have been the girl who Morrissey pulled on stage. We were all goggle-eyed about the whole event, and about Morrissey's ridiculous, inexplicable attraction. Then the guy pulled out a piece of Morrissey's shirt, which we all proceeded to smell. It was so funny - two couples, one very young, one old enough to remember The Smiths, in a rest stop in New Jersey, handling a holy relic. I don't know why I found the whole thing so terribly moving, except to say that the man is still magic. He is an antidote to the mundane.

            One note on Kristeen Young - she seemed visibly dejected last night, and I can understand why. I'm not a particular fan of her music, but it's clear that she is mad about Morrissey, and that she "gets" him. He is a beautiful anarchist, indeed.

                No "The Queen is Dead" killed my show (Score:1)
                I've been seeing Morrissey since 1991 (first time in Wembley Arena, i was the one that wore that vintage 1992 tour shirt) and ever since i've been hoping to see the above song performed live, over the years I lost hope but when i saw the set list of this tour I could not believe it...well i guess it will never happen now, why Panic why?? I saw that song already on the UK tour last year and to be honest it's one of those songs that sounds better in the album. So i shouted "the Queen is dead" throughout the show and Moz even replied once "Of course you can say whatever you want, it is a free country..." :-) Also i think that "The Boy..." was quite poor performed in terms of guitar playing, Tobias needs some lessons from Johnny...

                I was the one that shouted "Morrissey" during Kristeen set, didn't mean to put her down just something we use to do in the UK tour. I have to admit though that her set was terrible, sorry not my cup of tea, I miss the days when Moz had really good opening acts (Libertiens, Sack).
                One last thing - there was this guy at the front(left side) that for some strange reason decided to fight with everyone (including that tall blonde chick) bloody wanker.

                        i don't think anyone has mentioned this, but fuck the skinny white bouncer who was in the center. his name was ronnie. he was the biggest prick i've ever met. and i don't mean a prick in the way that bouncers can be pricks. i mean, he sat 10 feet from kristeen young during her set, and talked very loudly with some folks in the front row (equally disrespectful) about how much they thought she sucked. and i don't know if that was why, and i'm not sure how many people saw, but kristeen cried through more than half of her set. i'm sure she's emotional about the tour ending, having been opening for morrissey for the last year, but this douche bag was not helping matters.

                        i don't care how much someone dislikes an artist. until that person has been on stage, and poured their heart out through their work, and had people ridicule them, how can anybody possibly think they know how she feels??

                              I saw the Moz at the Paramount about like 15 yrs ago, It was good but last night was awesome. Maybe it was the anticipation of seeing him since I had tickets to the garden and didnt get the Borgata ticket till the last minute, I truly had a great experience and met some great people, The two lovely woman from Long Island know who they are. Did anyone else pick up that Moz was shooting the sound guy looks almost like he was mad at the levels or what was happening with the sound about 3/4 way through the show?

                              The Argentinians & Other Observations (Score:0)
                              FYI the two dudes from Argentina said they were from Buenos Aires, but Morrissey didn't understand at first, had them clarify, and then made some banal comment about what a beautiful place it was. It was quite a prolonged interaction -- him handing the mic over about 3 or 4 times -- the last two of which, one of the guys insisted Morrissey kiss his hand. "Kiss my hand, Morrissey! Kiss my hand! It is my dream!" He kept deploring Moz. Morrissey at first stumbled off a bit as though contemplating, but, being historically a very self-respecting person, just muttered "Disgraceful" a number of times before launching into the next song. (After all, they should have been begging to kiss HIS hand, no?)

                              The little boy being exploited by his mother was named Kyle, though Morrissey at first said "Carlos," and then, jokingly, "Car-lo," in an Italian accent. Other comments included the "Say what you will-- this is a democratic society, supposedly," and other typical political jabs.

                              A highlight for me (besides having a prime vantage point for watching a half-naked Morrissey trot off the stage in his middle-heavy middle-aged glory a total of four times), was when, during the raucous crescendo of HSIN, he curled up in a fetal position and just lay there, cradling his head with his arms for a good 40 seconds. For a moment I thought the seizure-inducing strobe lights must have done him in.

                              Also, I thought it was interesting that he used the same spoken-word intro (does anyone know what this is?) to open the show that he used during the YATQ tour in '04. No Serge Gainsbourg though, this time.

                                    I know it was bound to happen, but the Philly show was simply better than last night. The AC GA crowd was too raucous and aggressive, the security were complete assholes, and quite frankly, the band has turned their backs on the fans by not really doing aftershows anymore. I mean, this was the last night of the tour! I know they're not spring chickens anymore, but they ought not to run off to the buses moments after the show. Let's face it--Moz has always been anti-social and we all knew that. But it was his band and crew that was the glamorous glue that endeared themselves to the fans. They would hang with the fans and were very gracious. I just don't know exactly when they lost interest in hanging out with the fans, but it's a crying shame. I did get a piece of the shirt and it stunk up my whole hotel suite. In a good way, I mean.. OK, flamers, start flaming!
