Panic on the streets of Nottingham (Score:1, Informative)
A Few set list changes - He did I'll never be anybodys hero now and finished with Don't Make Fun Of Daddys Voice (2 song encore!!).
He was on good form talking about Saturday Night Sunday Morning (1960's film - A Classic favourite of mine)
How he wouldn't last more than a week in Nottingham because of the gun culture (" A clean bullet to the head"
Mentioned Julia once (for those sad enough to bother about that - Lucky her), and handed the microphone over to two audience members who failed to impress ("Oh My God")
All in all an excellent gig in my opinion (I've seen him plenty times and know what I'm talking about) - It has left me so much happier than Saturdays Glasgow gig. If I think of anything else I'll post it but I'm off to my bed!

Personally, I had a great time. 'I've Changed My Plea to Guilty' and 'Dear God, Please Help me' were my highlights, both exquisitely sung - lovely to see a few more ballads in the set.
There were 5 Smiths songs (How Soon Is Now, Panic, Girlfriend In A Coma, Please, Please Please, Let Me Get What I Want, William It Was Really Nothing); 3 B-sides (Ganglord, I've Changed My Plea to Guilty, Don't Make Fun of Daddy's Voice); 6 from Ringleader of the Tormentors (I Will See You in Far Off Places, Dear God, Please Help Me, You Have Killed Me, In The Future When All's Well, I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now, I Just Want to See The Boy Happy); one from Viva Hate (Everyday Is Like Sunday); one from Your Arsenal (National Front Disco), one from Bona Drag (Disappointed); 3 from You Are The Quarry (Irish Blood, English Heart, First of the Gang to Die, Let Me Kiss You) and nothing from Vauxhaul & I, Southpaw Grammar and Maladjusted.
I know people are always complaining about these set-lists, but I think Morrissey rotates his catalogue quite cleverly and it's great when an old favourite rears its lovely head again (Disappointed being a notable example from this evening).
If you saw him earlier in the year, I think you're in for a treat with the revised set-list and the man himself looks and sounds better than ever.

But aside from those people who want to wait and be impressed before they have fun, I had a wonderful time. I don't think I'll ever forget the moment when he handed the mic to the crowd...
Thank you, Morrissey (Score:0)
There were some miserable gits though..I got my hand on the first shirt of the evening, along with a couple of others, but was forced to give it up after a bouncer saw us all pulling to try and rip it up, and just gave it to some guy. People round us were like 'oh it's only a f***ing shirt' etc...yeah flipping MORRISSEY's shirt! ha.
All in all a fantastic show, and can't wait for my next! xxx

A fair amount of chat - and the cultural interest of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning being filmed in Nottingham, he quoted a line from Hylda Baker (which I'm struggling to remember due to lack of sleep.
The crowd were low key initially but warmed up. I was lucky enough to be standing near the front - the centre section was packed and lively to the sides there was more space - I'll stick some images up later.

Last night I took my camera, spare batteries and everything....turned it on and it wouldn't stay on for more than 1 sec!
So I still have no photos!
Basically this is a very roundabout way of saying I'd be eternally grateful if the people lucky enough to have photos share them

Arena it may have been, great gig it was... (Score:0)
Morrissey @ Nottingham (Score:0)
Morrissey and the band were in absolutely fabulous form and I think the only thing I was really disappointed with was the sound quality of the arena itself - not entirely unexpected, but it really does have the acoustic finesse of a rusty dustbin...which is a huge pity when you're listening to one of the finest vocalists the world has ever produced.
As for the crowd, I thought they were mostly a bit on the flat side, which was a shame as Morrissey definitely put the effort in. However, as one of the people who chose to buy a seated ticket and sit in quiet appreciation on the sidelines myself, I think it's good to have that choice and for other people to respect it...if you want to shout and leap around, buy a standing ticket and have yourself an utterly fabulous night, but drunken wazzocks like the bloke in Block 15 row D who spent the whole night stood up and waving his arms about so that nobody behind him could see properly, screaming tunelessly and facing *away* from the stage for most of the gig just spoil other people's enjoyment for no good reason, IMHO. There was plenty of room on the main floor for him to express himself freely, if that was what he wanted.
Morrissey is a beautiful, beautiful genius to all those blessed with the intelligence to see and hear it - long may the great man continue to wow us with live performances like this one.

Morrissey can.t seem to win! (Score:1)
Can't really understand all the moaning on here. Morrissey gets slagged off for playing the smaller venues earlier in the year and the tickets getting to the touts/EBay but he now gets slagged off for playing arenas which he can't sell out and so don't have the same atmosphere
He obviously enjoyed it given the 2 songs he played as the encore. Just because everyone wasn't dancing etc doesn't mean they didn't enjoy it
Also thought it was the most mixed audience I have seen at one of his gigs. The previous 2 I attended in 2002 and earlier this year mainly had people like me there - aging mid 30's - but last night there was a real mixture the youngest of whom seemed about 10!! Not sure what they would have made of some of the B sides played but then again you can't please everyone
Well done Moz - a great show
