What did I miss...?

anyone with video...?

Kristeen Young came out dressed like Britney! But her performance still sucked....

Your taxi is here, my dear!

Anything new played? I'm interested to read the reviews since I'm sitting here waiting for my red eye out tonight. I can't wait, for more than a few reasons...!

Great show the guys dressed in denim including "the man", no chatty as yesterday but in good mood, some changes in the set list "The boy with...", 'Please, please, please...", "Dear God...", "Disappointed".
Few stage invaders during the end of the show; Finally New York!!! let's show them that we are not cold blooded people that just applaud at the end of every song and that's it, before "Human being" he said that the music that most influenced to him was made in this city and if somebody didn't now the original version should leave the building, I wonder if David Johansen was there.

better than last night, in my opinion. check my site - Ear Farm - tomorrow for another review. setlist below.

Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before / Billy Budd / All You Need Is Me / Irish Blood, English Heart / The Boy With the Thorn in His Side / I'm A Human Being / I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris / Tomorrow / That's How People Grow Up / Jack The Ripper / One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell / The Loop / Sister, I'm A Poet / Stretch Out And Wait / The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores / Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want / Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself? / Death Of A Disco Dancer / Disappointed / Dear God, Please help me (Auld Lang Syne piano interlude) / How Soon Is Now? // First Of The Gang To Die

can't wait for night #3.

...head, I mean cunalingus". Either it was a rude/interesting comment made by Kristeen Young, or she is a truly fortunate receiver of a Morrissey gift!

The crowd was... interesting. There was a big guy signing along off key, wrong words, the works - when a girl told him to quit it he got an attitude and told her she could still hear Morrissey. No one really could, and I was glad she said something before I did. But then the guys around him all started talking and going on and on about how it's ok to sing during a show. It was ridiculous. I moved away from that guy, not because of his horrific singing but because he kept screaming and hooting in my ear. I am ashamed to consider myself a newyorker after the behavior of those nitwits. After I moved someone from the balcony threw their beer into the crowd. At that point I became utterly convinced I was at a Mets game.

Despite my fellow concert goers it was a great show. But I don't think I'll be going to another show where people can buy $22 seats...

MOrrissey fans:

Pictures are in my blog. Enjoy and feel free to post a comment. Thanks!

did anyone see the guy on the left of the stage hit his face on the edge of the stage during his brave attempt to reach Moz? hopefully i didn't see what i thought i saw, but if i did... wow, that was a terrible blow...

i have plenty of pictures and some full song videos from tonite I will be posting tomorrow somewhere. i've got full clips of Sister I'm a Poet, Tomorrow, and How Soon is Now? along with the first 2 minutes or so of Irish Blood...

it was great to see everyone from last night again and to meet some more new people.
I hope I didn't kick anyone in the head when I got onstage (I was dead center in the black jeans, white shirt and orange jacket in hand) and a book fell out of my coat (Franny and Zooey). if anyone has a picture with me in it i'd love to have it regardless of the probably terrible expression on my face.

the show was better than Monday (though not by much, in my opinion). The final invasion by the crowd really did the show over well. I'm still hoping for Still Ill sometime this week. I'll die if he plays it. see you all friday!

The guys were in it from head-to-toe - fantastic. Morrissey himself was resplendent. His silhouette was even more breathtaking than usual.

My prayers were finally answered when he played "Dear God." "The Loop" was the high-point again. When Morrissey wails on that tambourine, he still moves like Satan himself - I just can't get enough of it.

Morrissey seemed almost giddy. Some memorable lines (approximately):

"Does anyone here remember a song called Picadilly Palare?" *huge applause* "Well, I feel sorry for you."

"The first music I heard that made me realize that I was insane was from this city" *applause* - "Is this Salt Lake?"

The encore was pretty epic. There is a five-foot gap, and people actually made it over. The first guy obviously spooked Moz a bit - he was having none of it. Eventually, there was a pretty good wave of people, and Morrissey was swamped. Quite a few fell into the pit - brutal. One "Je Suis Morrissey" T was thrown at the very end, with the usual results.

Kristine Young was simply awful.

Show was incredible. I managed to get plenty of videos, i'll upload tomorrow. He only threw out one shirt and it was right after First Of The Gang and I was in the tug of war for it until the end when security had to break it up....my fingers are still red and in pain because of it. This was my first Moz show and it definitely won't be my last.

Anyone see me!?

Indian kid with glasses and a black and white striped tie, white shirt, black hoodie. I was dead center for most of the show. I had my camera in th eair for alot of the show. Check back for pictures and full song videos tomorrow!!

Oh my God, tonight was soooo much better than last night! The show was sold out, which made for a great overall atmosphere, i love looking up behind me and seeing all the balconies full of love. I managed to get up pretty close on the house right side, near the guy with the orange flowers. Moz's voice was absolutely perfect, perfect, perfect, every note spot on. "Dear God Please Help Me" was an especially religious experience. He was in great spirits, said lots of random hilarious things, and the crowd was pretty vocal for the US. I was really proud of the invasions at the end, it's like a victory for all of us when someone actually gets up there and hugs him, although i worry about him sometimes. I loooved at the end when he *finally* took off his shirt and was flexing and posing. He looks amazing, in even better shape than in July I think!
All in all, this show is up there in the ranks of Glasgow 03 & Dublin 04. Wish I could make it to Friday & Saturday, but I'll be there on Sunday for the finale...
Much love to all of you. I love being surrounded by (most!) Moz fans. I love exiting the theatre after a Moz show and looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, mirroring my own joy and feeling like we shared an experience. And we're just all so good looking...!

Tasteless? The woman who called a penis a "life-stealing baby gun?"

Kristeen Young exists outside of taste. It's part of the reason Morrissey likes her, I think.

As to the person who suggested she be curbstomped: go to hell. In fact, *all* of you can go to hell. Ain't nobody forcing you to listen to the woman, and surely "awful" isn't the fucking word for someone of her raw technical skill. Say you hated her, but don't say she's awful.

I'm unhappy that apparently being an artist you don't like is a sign of moral weakness.

Please let me know, I'd like to see footage from 'First of the Gang to Die' as a few people get on stage, myself included.

Thanks.

This was an amazing gig. Better than last night and the crowd were brilliant too. Dear God and the Loop were particular highlights. Moz looked awesome at the end when he took his t-shirt off and starting flexing his muscles and doing his Mr Universe bit! Wow!

I was in the front and could not see what kind of jeans they were?
I saw some white letters above the waist but could not read them.
He kept pulling them up and adjusting his front and back :)

Can someone please let me know what time Morrissey takes the stage at Hammerstein? I'll be next door at Tir Na Nog before the show for dinner and pints and would like to know what time to head to the theater.

Thanks!

Also, what time does the starting band begin?

I've noticed that I love Moz's songs more than the man himself. Is this weird? Sometimes he gets annoying-his rants on vegetarianism, his odd show openers (ie James Dean screen tests), telling everyone who to vote for. Don't get me wrong, I love him to a degree..but his admiration for K Young? WTF? She is so bad. I'm not on Moz solo to complain about the man (well, ok, today I am)...but even some of his fans get to me. Am I the only one? I've dated a few Moz die hards and omg, it was like a competition. I admire Moz for never revealing his true sexual identity and keeping it under wraps..but come on..James Dean screen tests? Obsessions with tragic females like Nico?His bff is Nancy Sinatra! He knows I'd off Bona Drag? Now that might not be about gay love, but....interesting title for a song.

This has nothing to do with the NYC shows. Just a rant...I do think he appreciates his fans but I also think he needs to start massive therapy if he hasn't yet.

that shit rocked my stockings!

i rolled in a little bit late and there it was!! i was stoked!

Hey, does anyone know what the video of the man dancing and woman dressed as a Ballet dancer is from? It was part of the video montage before Moz started his set.

just wanted to let you guys know that my review of last night's show has just been posted...
