Venus In Furs (Score:2, Informative)
The setlist was the same as from Munich, including William again.
Staff said that the venue was sold out; i could spot people looking for tickets outside.
Morrissey was in good talking mood; complaning about "many women in furs" he had seen "walking the busy streets of Düsseldorf". He said that he played the venue in 1986 the last time and asked who was there. When corrected by the crowd, that the one and only concert in this hall was on 23nd December 1992, he joked "i knew that; i wanted to test you. Where you there? There's my father, he was there"
It took me 2,5 hours by car to get to the venue because of a traffic jam and i arrive when K. Young was already playing. Her performance was not my cup of coffee, perhaps because of the bad sound.
After that we were entertained by video clips of The New York Dolls and various European Song Contest participants. Strange...
Later more.

Additional Misc. (Score:2, Informative)
Mercandise: they had 4 different T-shirts (Vicar Pic, In The Future Sleeve Pic, Tour Poster Pic with dates on the back, 3 Posters (same as T-shirts more or less); a tie pin and a normal pin with the known 'M' Logo on it.
Backdrop: again Passolini; mentioned during You Have Killed Me from Morrissey "Passolini is HIM"
Visitors: The venue has galleries on three sides, but there were many empty seats. As you could choose whether to sit or to stand, this is no contradiction to the 'sold out' statement. I don't know how many tickets were sold to be sold out, but the venue could have coped with some more visitors.
Misc: The April 2006 issue of the german music mag MUSIKEXPRESS with Morrissey on the cover was given away for free after the concert.
Music: the crowd was in good mood, singing along to every song. However, the old Smiths tunes, especially William got the most support, but First Of The Gang To Die, Irish Blood and You Have Killed Me came in very close. My fav was Ganglord - thats a live killer! Should have been a single A-Side...

So forgive me to go ladies first: Got to see KY from quite close to front row. She played a great setlist of old and new songs (for setlist and pictures see http://www.kristeenyoung.de/ [kristeenyoung.de]). All around me there was very much positive reaction and a nice response to her - i'm pretty proud of my "home crowd".
So being not a Morrissey fan i'm on my way to become one
Moz rocks Düsseldorf (Score:0)
We enjoyed the gig very much. Tight band, lovely Moz, great crowd.
Funny side-effect: Moz seemed amused when the crowd fighted for his 1st shirt and commented the fuss with the words "Very impressive". Then he stood about a minute half-naked in front of the audience.
Super-Highlights: Ganglord, NFD, IBEH and You`ve killed me.
Setlist:
Panic / First Of The Gang To Die / The Youngest Was The Most Loved / You Have Killed Me / Disappointed / Ganglord / I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now / William, It Was Really Nothing / Irish Blood, English Heart / I Will See You In Far-off Places / Girlfriend In A Coma / Everyday Is Like Sunday / In The Future When All's Well / I've Changed My Plea To Guilty / Let Me Kiss You / The National Front Disco / Dear God, Please Help Me / How Soon Is Now? / I Just Want To See The Boy Happy / Life Is A Pigsty

Last night in Dusseldorf was a different story, the crowd were lapping him up and at one point he joked "I can't stop them Arturo, I can't" when the crowd kept singing his name. He spent more time than usual as he left the stage too, trying to shake as many hands as possible and trying to stop fans hurting themselves in the crush. I could hear him talking to the people at the front without his microphone from about 15 feet back, it was great to see.

Yes, it was THAT good... (Score:0)
Even the "Morrissey, Morrissey, Morrissey" chant got an airing after that!
Our Mozzer seemed to enjoy himself - taking off his shirt twice... surely a baramoter of whether the great man is happy or not!
I went with a German 'Rawk' fan and she also enjoyed it - her first Morrissey concert, unsurprisingly.
Some funny moments, sorry if they've already been mentioned...
"I must warn you... I must warn you... I sing in a foriegn language"
"I walked around Dusseldorf today and not ONE person said hello to me. Which means they must have recognised me..."
Anyway, thank you Dusseldorf - a truly great city. Visitors, look for the Old Town/Altstadt. Incredible for the discerning beer drinker.

After show party, anyone? (Score:0)
But I think of suggesting a poll: Does it suit a Morrissey-Fan to be moving with excitement in the front rows of a concert? I hope the preferred answer is yes...

Striking performance (Score:1)
The guys also really seemed to enjoy themselves. Especially Mr. Boorer, who was constantly gazing into the hall with his famous semi-serious facial expression.
That long dutch dude got to the stage and the security guys let him shake hands with the Mozzer. Good one Venlo-man! C U in Amsterdam. There were some really short girls elbowing their way to the front row, weird and obnoxious.
A girl next to me fainted. I almost fainted when listening to Kristeen Young... When a couple of people started chanting 'Moz Moz' she said:"You are so boring.." Maybe that ungrateful scream queen should get her own show.
When Moz changed his shirt into a blue one, I asked him:"Feeling blue again?" not very funny...
Moz replied:"There's always room for improvement."
The afterparty was packed and there was a great atmosphere. But why not only Smiths/Moz songs?
Had a great trip with Tober, Den and Mrls.
Next stop: Amsterdam

I was so happy to sneak my camera in, even though security really made it hard, I had to hide it during the concert...
Hope you enjoy the pix!

22 songs is the most I've ever heard him perform.
The aftershow party in the Altstadt was also phenomenal, only why did they have to play Love and Pride???
Looking forward to Amsterdam and the aftershow party [chello.nl] there!

The flavour of Moz shirt (Score:1)
i am the lucky one of the first row, who has catched the black shirt in Düsseldorf. I took some pictures, too, which are available at
http://www.meine-daten.de/smiths/index.html [meine-daten.de]
Why I am writing this to you? Because my friend and me like the perfume of the shirt collar and it was really intensive. So I went with the shirt to Douglas and let them take a smell at the shirt. Now I know, which favorite perfume he uses. No, I am not from Douglas or the brand.
If you like it, too - smell at Gucci Pour Homme. (Btw, the shirt is from Prada with size 42.)
I which you all a merry christmas and a happy new Moz-Year...
