Morrissey is engaging live; magic; unusual. Entertaining. Real Music Hall.
Well worth the wait. Oh Morrissey, we waited, and you DIDN'T let us down!

Great show, but it would have been better if they had done a soundcheck though.

Firstly, Morrissey is a comic genius. Show started with the band carrying him onto the stage pallbearer-style. Bursting into I Want The One I Can’t Have, which kicked it all off superbly. Morrissey was particularly chatty, “Thank you for buying your tickets so quickly – after all these years, we weren’t sure if you’d still care” and “can you please take Kylie back?” There was a very long intro to Jack The Ripper, in which he jokingly said “ do I talk too much?” Alain Whyte seems to like talking, but not into the mic, so we couldn’t really catch what he was saying! “Boz is oiling the banjo, we all know what that means. No? It doesn’t mean anything?” (or something similar!) Every day is like Sunday sounded amazing. And for all those people dreaming of getting up on stage, it happened – at first, the girl in the front centre possie looked like she wouldn’t make it, and Moz said “Nice Try” which gave her the will to finish it and she got right up there, and just froze! She didn’t hug him or kiss him! Meat is Murder was very powerful, and the closing two tracks – Nov followed by the incredible Speedway – were killer. Then the Smiths’ swansong as encore, wrapped up what was a flawless and stunning performance from the most charismatic man in music history. He’s always had it and ever more shall. Love you Morrissey.

Some interesting lyric changes: From Hairdresser..."I am depressed, but I'm remarkably dressed, and that's all I need." (BTW, he was remarkably dressed, in a pair of brown slim fitting flat front pants and a white shirt with a ruffle down the front. He teased us by undoing a couple of the top buttons at the start of the show but alas did not finish the job). Also from the Hairdresser intro..."Where is London? Who cares about London?(I think...) Is it home of the free or what?" Also from Hairdresser again..."Stoned around Sloane square." He did change the lyrics to a few other songs, but I can't quite recall them at the moment.
He got quite theatrical during Meat is Murder, writhing around on his back, with his head hanging off the stage and his groin thrust in the air, doing that triangle thing with his hands.
I can't say that I'm over the moon about the new songs but they are good solid Moz tunes and I'll be waiting for some record company exec to come to his senses and release them. Vocally, Moz seemed to be taking a bit of a break, not holding some notes as long as he usually does nor singing with as much power (hey, he's not young anymore), although his sweet, sweet voice shone through during I Like You, which really touched me.
Overall, a fantastic night. Moz was relaxed, chatty, and funny, the crowd was totally into it, and what can you say about that music?
oh yes (Score:0)
unfortunately from the moment Morrissey was carried onto the stage and opened with the words "Sydney.. you have me" it all became a dreamlike blur of beauty and delight, truely amazing, up until what seemed like far too short a time, where I'd only just managed to work out that this was not a dream and 'there is a light' closed what was a night I'll be trying to remember forever.
one complaint, and this is nothing to do with the performance, you'd think being second row of the balcony I'd have had a good view? but when the people in front lean forward and hang over the balcony for the whole set it blocks the view of pretty much every single person behind, for 6-10 rows back.. just to get one foot closer.
Such lack of consideration baffles me..
but as I say, apart from a bit of a stiff neck from having to lean out of my chair sideways just to see past some guys massively thick skull.. it was everything one could have wanted and more.
And to anyone that got drunk and spent the night being a complete prick, I hope a double decker did find you on the way home from the gig, regardless of where you were born.
Looking forward to next Sunday now,
oh Yes!

It's interesting to note that this has timed in exactly with the fact he has no record label. Do you think that, while he loves making music and performing, he is so relieved to be free from the business side of the industry? It's common knowledge how much he hates "the business" and that the other shows when I've seen him, when he was grim-faced and barely spoke to the crowd, he was out in promotion of a record. Now, he's just doing it for the love of it. Of course I want him to get a deal as soon as possible, but I hope he can maintain this mood as I think it'll see a real upturn in his creativity (I think it's a myth that his most miserable moments produce his best material - remember 'Kill Uncle'?)

If lastnight I dreamt.......... (Score:1)
What a beautiful night. I must admit that I was a bit shocked by my reaction to seeing and hearing one of the true heroes of my adolescence (and now):
During Morrissey's opening of "I want the one I can't have", I started to cry. I guess I was a bit overwhelmed with the feelings that I have from that very special period of my life as well as the love and repect I have for Morrissey and the Smiths.
"and on cold leather seats, it suddenly struck me, I just might die with a smile on my face afterall"
I definitely had a huge smile on my face all night long!!
If you get a chance to go see Moz, do yourself a favor and check him out.
Morrissey - if by chance that you do read any of this, well I just wanted to say thank you.

Nice chap! (Score:0)
And what a nice chap apologising for the price of the tickets. Funny as well "welcome to a night of poetry set to music with a little bit of choreography thrown in", "may God be with you and may Oscar Wilde be not far behind".
Thank God someone hates Kylie as much as I do. And as for popular music, well I never listen to the radio these days at all!
