He cut National Front Disco short with somthing like "in the words of Kristeen Young, 'this is the end' " but then came back for "Please Please Please..."

Also, anyone know why some guy was ejected from Block 103 during "How Soon Is Now?" One second I was watching the stage, the next I see this fellow being dragged away by security. Seemed random.

He seemed a bit pissed off at one point when he was introducing his band and someone shouted 'Where's Johnny Marr?'. he went quiet for a bit after that. But he perked up a bit later on and had a great rant about Bill Oddie. I don't know much about Oddie but i saw him on never mind the Buzzcocks a few weeks ago and he seemed like a twat so it was good to hear that morrissey hates him.
loved pigsty/auld lang syne/how soon is now.
I met some young lads on the way home who had just been to see Babyshambles and had a great argument with them about how they had just seen a fucked up old smackhead and missed the chance to see a genuine legend.
Looking foward to Manchester in a few weeks time.

We're the Goodies,
How do you do?
We've just been down to the zoo.
Saw a monkey in a cage doin' a dance that could be the rage.
It's not hard, so let's all do
the Funky Gibbon!
Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!
Chorus
Do do do the Funky Gibbon (Funky Gibbon?)
We are here to show you how. (ooo ooo ooo) -- gibbon hoots
Ooo Ooo Ooo the Funky Gibbon (Funky gibbon?)
He's just like you,
So, come on, Do
The Funky Gibbon Nowwwww.
Dogs are always howlin',
Cats are always Yowlin',
But Gibbons only like to Sing and Dance. (Boop oop shee boop)
You be like that monkey,
Get a little funky,
And in a while, start to smile,
Gibbon have a chance.
(Chorus)
Now get ready to do the Funky Gibbon!
Drop one arm down by your knees, let the other arm reach up to the trees.
Now let your wrists go limp like a bent baboon
And get ready to sing this Gibbon's tune (ooo ooo ooo, Funky Gibbon)
Now won'tcha gimme an Oooooo (oooooo)
Come on gimme an Oooooo (oooooo)
Give me an Ooooooo (oooooo)
Now put 'em together and what have you got?
ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo --- gibbon hoots
(Bill Oddie at Amnesty International Show - "You don't 'alf look silly.")
(Chorus)
ooo ooo ooo Funky Gibbon
ooo ooo ooo Funky Gibbon

He promised to buy me a bunch of blue Gibbons to tie up my bonnie brown...
(alt: Tie a yellow Gibbon 'round the old oak tree....)

Now if the Mods mark this off-topic, they have missed the point!

Great set list, over the top arrangements, Eurovision warm up, and pre encore strop off stage!
We were sat on side so didn't see any run up to the strop. I suspect the encore set list was also cut short?

Last night was the fifth time i've seen him, and to be honest it was a bit of a mixed gig. Some parts were brilliant, 'i've changed my plea....'was mesemerising, the ringleader stuff held up well and 'ganglord' is acutally a belter live. Still, it was an odd show, a few idiots did their best to ruin it all. In particular those who spent the whole night shouting stupid things at moz, why shout "where's johnny marr?" out??!!! and i can also never understand how such a talented, intelligent, stylish artist attracts so many ignorant, boorish, and aggressive people to the gigs. I love the atmosphere at the front, the football chants always make the hair on the back of my neck stand up, but why must people behave as if it's them we've come to see rather than moz?
moz seemed a little put off by the sound as well, he made a couple of faces and kept looking at his microphone with disgust! I think the crowd pissed him off a bit and i don't think he'll have been happy with the reception kristeen young got ; aforementioned idiots shouting insults between every song. by all means have an opinion on the support but don't behave like children!! (especially when moz chooses his support so carefully!)
anyway, not as great as the other times i've seen him but still very, very good.

It was a pretty good gig... (Score:1)
He was talkative and did a couple of interactive sessions with his 'audience'. He really tried with his 'audience' and I think it/we failed him. What sticks in my mind was when he was asking why the press disliked him and attacked him. I don’t know what was shouted, but he said something on the lines of 'oh just forget it' and went into the next song.
He asked the guy who goes to every gig how he afforded it again, and his reply was 'I still don’t have an answer'. Morrissey replied 'well you should you have had long enough'. Why does he not just make something up like he is a bank robber? Maybe next time.
The band were up for it and the NF Disco stop just added to the intrigue.
I only heard one guy shouting Johnny Marr and I am not 100% sure, but I think it was the same one who kept shouting 'NY Dolls' and 'Subway'.
Not much you can do when a total cock-knocker shouts 'at least you are doing an encore this time you C**t'. I saw him grimace at the start of 'Please' following that one.
The band looked up for it and were tighter than a knatts chuff (NFD apart, but I think that was Moz's fault).
Security were not as bad as I have seen at Newcastle before and were quick to pull out a young girl when she felt faint just before How Soon (hope you are ok pet, but your mother outlasted you in a pretty tame mosh - LOL lightweight).
I am probably in a minority, but I actually like Bill Oddie. Not sure what he said, but am interested in finding out. Funny riposte by Morrissey though!
Right I am off to 'Do the Funky Gibbon', and ‘fondle some tits’ (you had to be there) but I wish I was going to Nottingham.

Morrissey in fine form, and voice and mood. Loads of good humoured banter.
Arena far too sterile and soul-less and big, if he comes back north then 2 shows at the Academy would be better. PLEASE!
Jesse is fast becoming a guitar hero, Boz is fast becoming Mr Stay Puffed! But we love him all the same and all the more.
Highlights - I've Changed My Plea To Guilty, How Soon Is Now, Irish Blood English Heart, First of the Gang to Die. Bill Oddie story! Weirdly wonderful. And I still adore Let Me Kiss You.
Lowlights - Girlfriend in a Coma, National Front Disco (for obvious reasons) I thought like loads of others that there was another Sage coming on, venue.
I'm still looking forward to Manchester though, should be great.
