‘Vendég’ (Score:1)
On http://ebba.intbase.com/artists/artist_09.html , some information is available, such as this introduction: “Well, it happened as follows...
This new set-up recorded their follow-up album in the summer of '96 - just like in the case of all their albums until Cukor - in Stuttgart with the help of producer - sound engineer Bernhard Hahn. The bouquet of songs later named Goal was released by 1G Records, an exclusive label of Warner Music Hungary. The video for Wallflower brought considerable local popularity for the four piece band (Kiss had left the group by then), but - what a misunderstanding! - quiet a number of people thought that they saw a "pretty good British band" on the TV screen…”
Their official website, in Hungarian mainly but where songs are uploaded, seems to be

Budapest gig (Score:0)
The band played four Smiths-songs: How Soon is Now, Girlfriend in a Coma, Panic, and Last Night I Dreamt..., plus a New York Dolls' cover.
Only a few thousand fans came, and of course, Moz complained that his latest album didn't sell well in Hungary.
It was a 1h 20m gig - toooooo short for such a singular experience.
He sang some of his sentimental songs with such pathos I thought the next moment the sky would open and he'd ascend to heaven from the earth
God bless him - he's one of my heros.

Petofi Csarnock BUDAPEST (Score:2, Informative)
A massive How Soon Is Now? was followed by "I hope you speak Englsih cos we don't speak Hungarian."
First of the Gang to Die, then a bit of a chat about Nico, who Moz said was his favourite singer and born in Budapest, which seemed to be news to most Magyars present, "just by that tree there", and not in Germany where she is often said to be from (I think she lied about her age too!). He also said they were worried nobody would be waiting for them when they arrived, but actually the 2,000-3,000 outdoor commie-era arena was pretty full, considering that a 40 euro ticket represents a lot of money to find for the average magyar.
"The Pigsty Five" were extremely tight and Morrissey was enjoying himself. Backdrop was Oscar Wilde, big gong behind the drummer for the end of I Will See You... He said he had looked for his new record in Media Markt, getting a groan from the audience. "Oh, is that shit?" asked Mozzer.
A few more tunes, new B-side Ganglord was good, Girlfriend In a Coma was immense and funny as always, with Moz uninterestedly scratching his head for the "do you really think she'll pull through?" lines...
Shirt change, to a pink number, old one naturally thrown into the audience, and Morrissey bathed in orange light and the band in green for the next tune.
His voice is maturing in the way that Sinatra's and Johnny Cash's did. As I remember, he was considered a great lyricist, rather than singer, as a young man, even a bit flat on a couple of recordings. His delivery of the songs was flawless though, very affecting.
At times the language barrier was a factor, as the man likes to make a bit of conversation, but Hungarians are a smart bunch, especially the Smiths fans, and the what the banter lacked was carried through with his legendary charm and charisma.
Finished with Panic, then Last Night I Dreamt... for the encore, sung with conviction, even after all these years, and after another shirt fling my old friend was off to Croatia.. Lights went up to that Sinatra number "That's Life, i think its called...?"
But the true highlight for me was a brief conversation I had with the great poet during the concert. "Mozza" I shouted. "What?" he replied.
Priceless Wildean wit, as always, but expect nothing less from a true star, trooper, 21st century torch singer, survivor, and "last and never least" POET...
