Wow! Interesting gig tonight, perhaps the best I've ever attended! Besides the crowd going crazy, Moz was very witty, changing a lot of the lyrics in his songs.

Here's a setlist I got from head of security (my 3rd cousin twice removed).

Hand in Bunghole (with special appearance by Mike Joyce)
At Last I Am Circumsized
I Swallow down My Throat
Michael's Boner
He Knows I'd Love to see Him Naked
First Of The Gang To Orgasm
Size Matters (with Sandie Shaw)
Jack the Twat Ripper
Brown-Eyed Susan
Dear God Please Felch Me
Gangrape (his new B-side)
Spring-Loaded Johnson
Teenage Dad on My Crotch
African Penis, English Butthole
I Don't Mind If You Fuck Me
Papa, Jack Mehoff
Tony's Hung Like a Pony

Encore:

There's a Place in Your Asshole for Me and My Friends

this idiot actually spent the time to use their limited brain power to think up this list, then type it out, then post it here. What an empty, empty life that this passes for entertainment in this saddo's life. How very, very sad.

Just got back in from the gig. Didn't play Song From Under the Floorboards and In the Future When All's Well. Other than that same setlist as other gigs.

Seemed a lot flatter than the previous night's gig at the Apollo - mainly down to it being an all seater venue.

Moz mentioned Julia after Girlfriend in a Coma, only one shirt went into the crowd I think. He was quite talkative throughout the gig. Mentioned that You'll Never Walk Again (sic) gets a bad reception but the song goes further than Anfield. Also said that he saw Mott the Hoople in the same venue and asked the audience if they knew who supported them. No one did and the answer was Queen who he said were very good but don't quote him on that.

Did anyone see the uber middle aged chavs? both fat and in the 40s/50s the woman had black and platinum blode hair and was bedecked in gold? They left during Trouble Loves Me, which was awesome by the way, but no many people seem to appreciate it.

A good gig, but I've seen better from Moz!

This is surely not the same person who has done funny ones the last few days.
This is a sicko attention-seeker.
Sad.

That joke isnt funny anymore

just got in,what a top night,the lull in the middle finally went,no "succession" change to the apollo set "the father who must be killed" and "in the future" changed lyrics in this to"something must have gone wrong"
I were at the back row of the gallery,about 25 of us were standing and the rest sitting,it's not a doctors waiting room get on your feet.Crowd certainly better at last nights gig,but tonights set was better.
I were two rows behind the mozza lookalike last night and three tonight,he was absolutely shit faced tonight,dancing in the aisle for the last three songs,good on yer!
More of the same tomorrow please

Superb gig from the great man yet again but being in the front row didn't quite the excitement of previous gigs as there was a distance of 10 feet between us and the stage for the empty orchestra pit. Idiot security guy winding everyone up at the front and checking tickets. His manner was ridiculous and his lovely use of F words especially as those down the front wouldn't have hurt a fly. People like that do my head in. The crowd lapped it all up BUT FROM A DISTANCE!!! Sort out your venues next time Mozzer!! Trouble loves me was played much slower than usual. No Reader meet Author or Succession. And he didn't paly This Charming Man. Let me kiss you back in the set and as good as ever. Proper a better play than last night but the audience couldn't get going. Let's see what the Bridgewater brings!!!

I thought it was better than the Apollo and he seemed on very good form tongiht. I wonder who the three good looking people were....?

Interesting that he mentioned that song they play before they come on. But it will get booed again tonight, and any time it gets played in the Republic of Mancunia

Rest your voice Moz! I wish I could fly to you.
How's ManchesterH@No matter what you say, the hometown is the best!@@Be sure to take me next timeI
I love you Moz.

...I have a beef with that Julia character.

Really, for years I couldn't give a shit who she was, where she came from or why she can't hold down a proper job but, tonight I had my first run in and she really does need putting down.

She was sat in the seat next to me as I got in. Again, I didn't bat and eyelid but, when the bloke who's seat it was turned up she wouldn't budge. He kept asking her "where is your seat?" and "Can you please move?" which gained nothing but and arrogant shrug, a point of her finger and a dismissive "I'll move in a minute" - no explanation as to what her intentions were, why she was there or who she thought she was. She was practically sat on my knee and all we could do was look at each other very confused.

It was, therefore an absolute pleasure to see her fall flat on her face as she vaulted the front row to get to the barrier. That's what Mancunian carpet tastes like sweetheart!

I don't care who you are but, we'd paid our 30 quid like everyone else (with an obvious exception). It's not your fucking front room, so behave like an adult or piss off. The lad next to me summed it up perfectly - "what an idiot". Yes, quite.

And that's the first and last I'll ever have to say on the subject.

Moz lookalike was at gig again tonite ,saw him at the Apollo last nite ,hes more like moz than moz !friendly guy from LA .Had pic taken with him to wind my mates up !

Brilliant. I love you Morrissey x.

Keep it coming.

Who was the support before Sons and daughters?
I'm sure Moz said that she was called christine young??? When i searched on google it appears that there is a famous porn star with the same name!
Anyhow i thought she was excellent - a bit Tori amos/ kate bush. Can anyone direct me to a website?
Moz was good tonight - just a pity my seat was in a shit place.

Seventeen comments are far too many.
The best thing to do to stop this old, annoying, out of place joke is to ignore it.
Just resist to post any comment, from now. Stop.

Hi,

It seems very clear to me that if 'morrissey-solo' wants to be taken seriously as a reliable source of Morrissey information, such as accurate setlists during a tour for example, then perhaps some moderation of the contributions made by members (and anonymous contributors [dubious privilege]) might be useful.

Although it is nice to have a voice and to share views with other fans, it is disappoining that the quality of some of the comments is not very good, relevant or useful. It seems obvious to me that it is the responsibility of the site creators/managers (?) to ensure that the standard of what is published on the site is maintained at a good level through careful monitoring and screening of submissions, if the site is to be considered credible.

See www.chainofflowers.com to see how it can be achieved. Here, contributions are emailed in and posted if they add value to the site and are of some interest to all readers. Otherwise, they never see the light of day unlike on this site. I think it taints an otherwise very good site.

I'm not being rude or cheeky but I am being serious.

Thank you

CR

The setlists the band used themselves had different/amusing titles. Apologies if this has already been established.

A picture of one from the Manchester Opera House gig can be found here

The booing of You'll Never walk Alone is pathetic.

Telling Morrissey to "f*** off" when he explained the song is not exclusive to Anfield, is pathetic.

Manchester, you've truly gone down in my estimation.

Get over yourselves.

The Wrong Boy - West Yorkshire.

Did anyone see him in the lobby after the gig? He seemed quite upset for some reason. Wanted to say hi cos I'm a bit of a Fall fanboy but thought better not. nevermind.

Anyway, I thought the gig was excellent, I had a great seat and morrissey's shirt landed right in front of me. Also I thought it was laughable how during the encore the people fighting over it were completely oblivious to morrissey onstage, how materialistic can you get? no 'mid-set lull' as far as I could tell. The new stuff sounded great and confirmed for me that ROTT shits all over YATQ. Jesse Tobias is an excellent guitarist and adds alot of atmosphere to the gig with the energy he gives off.
Only criticism I have really is that the setlist could have benefitted from a little more diversity, for the amount of classic solo material he's released its a shame the set didn't represent that.

Sorry about the delay. Here is the real set list. No great surprises.

Intro: Theme from Cutting It
That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
Ammunition
Irish Blood, English Heart // Special Guest Mike Joyce //
I Don't Mind If You Forget Me
I'm Not Sorry
Sorrow Will Come In The End
Mancu(As)ian Rut
First Of The Gang To Die ////
On The Streets I Ran
Lost // Boz Solo Spot //
Yes, I eat Pies
Life Is A Pigsty //// // Special Guest Shaun Ryder //
I Want The One I Can't Have
Interesting Drug
I Started Something I Couldn't Finish ////
I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now
How Soon Is Now? //Back to the Old House (at Home)
Outtro: Theme from Queer As Folk

Hope that clears up any confusion.

Forget Mozzer I'm just hoping she's there again tonight.

so stop whining about me being where I belong. I've endured enough negative posts on SoLow over the years...I'm tired of being silent about it. JR

How fascinating. Queen supported Mott the Hoople at the Manchester Opera House on 26th November 1973. And Morrissey was there. Surprised to find my two favourite artists sharing a room together.

Strangely, Freddie Mercury and Morrissey do have more than a few things in common; both from immigrant families, both utterly determined to do their own thing despite the consequences, both shaped by significant influences outside pop music (opera and literature respectively)...I could go on.

Interestingly, M is a big Sparks fan and it is reported (perhaps falsely) that Sparks invited Brian May to join them in the mid-Seventies. Funny old world...

Did anyone else think that security was way over the top? Inside and outside the venue. The security guard threatened to bash some bloke who was pulling at the shirt Morrissey threw into the crowd. Later I was stood outside waiting for Morrissey to appear after the gig (talking to two very nice Scottish people, sorry don't know your names) only to find myself barged out of the way and lifted onto the pavement forcefully. Please all we wanted was photos. Anyone would have thought we had guns instead of cameras/phones. Security have to understand that we don't want to hurt Morrissey. Maybe if he spoke to us occaisionally or signed a few autographs things would not be so bad.

Did anyone buy tickets off a tout for this gig and how much did you pay?

aww what a great gig...i work at the opera house as an usherette and as such got paid to be there. heaven! the audience in the circle were lovely (especially row h) and caused no problems so our lives were pretty easy and i got to see most of it. i'm not sure that singing along to girlfriend in a coma etc was very professional of me though...

I was well chuffed to see him do that! What'd did everyone else think?

A girl next to me at Bridgewater was pissed off he didn't do it there!!!

How good was HSIN at the end (after Moz goes offstge) here too?

Wish people would give the band the credit they deserve.

I'll shut up now
