Stop me, Boy with the Thorn, Death of a Disco, Stretch Out, Last Night I Dreamt, and of course a nice healthy bowl of "HSIN".
Some of the dialogue I can remember:
"To the person who has been holding up the 'Southpaw' sign for the past...five years! (crowd applauses): It was a beautiful song but...nobody is nice enough to play it."
Also stopped near the end of "That's How People Grow Up" because of "mike" problems:
"No...no...no. Stop. This is horrible. The sound is horrible, I can't hear myself. You do agree don't you? Don't you? You do don't you?"
My testicles raised into my abdomen as I thought we were going to have another San Diego "MELTDOWN". But luckily the sound guy put down his $30 mixed drink and fixed it. That or Moz stopped "jaking" it. Either way, the show went on.
Large crowd of surfers during "The First of the Gang".
Also, he mumbled quite a bit whenever somebody was shaking his hand during the songs. He gave out alot of "shakes".
Best thing is, you clones finally took my advice and bathed last night. Good for you! I finally breathed in that musty Palladium funk, a welcome change to the Garlic bread circling the venue the past week and a half.
"The Bjork Identity" had what seemed like a shorter set than usual.
Moz, knock them out tomorrow.

Crashing Bores was a welcomed new addition as well. The set was rolling along quite nicely. Moz appeared to be in good spirits, was ever so charming, chatty and sounded amazing. Loved Disco Dancer … even did the falsetto-y “in the next world” part at the end. THEN about 2/3’s into the set the unexpected happened … the opening piano notes of “Last Night I Dreamt …” Goosebumps people!!! Unfortunately this is where the sound trouble began. I forget exactly where in the song (it was toward the end), Moz stopped singing. He turned his back to the crowd and did that signature Moz-move (backlit, weight on one foot while rocking the other, head to one side). Didn’t ruin the song one bit for any of us but I think we were all holding our breath a little.
Paris went off without a hitch. Potential train wreck happened during Grow Up where he shut the song down entirely mid-way thru. He was having monitoring problems – couldn’t hear himself properly. What he couldn’t’ know is that he sounded amazing to all of us. You don’t sing for as many years as he’s been doing it without being close to pitch-perfect. I’m sure every singer has his off nights, Moz included, but this wasn’t one of them. I know he was holding back because he couldn’t hear himself but he really didn’t need to. He sounded spot on.
At this point I think we were all turning blue in the face, crossing our fingers that he wouldn’t call it a night. And then … he didn’t!
IBEH became a big ol’ sing-along which I think inspired him a bit. Playboyz was back which is another huge sing-along. At this point I think he finally adopted that F#$%-it attitude and just let us do all the high-notes for him. He looked relaxed, happy even despite it all and everyone was having a good time.
Ok, back to Cloud 9 for me … I’ve been waving this rolled-up poster I made for the Palladium shows with a blue bow on it for the past two shows. My new friend Alex made me realize it was looking like a U. of Palladium diploma. No good. My other good friend E. let me slip in at the rail for the encore. I unrolled the poster to make it fully visible. While Moz & th’Lads came out for their bow, M noticed my poster & made a face. He came over and asked “For me?” and took it. OMG … mission accomplished! I swear I feel like I’m 18 years old again I’m so stupidly happy.
First of the Gang encore had many, many crowd surfers make their way to the moat. Melanie had her BEST shot yet with a nice healthy handshake which I was happy for. 3-mile smiles all around, Moz included.
I’m sure he wished he’d had a better show but sometimes it’s the imperfect ones that are more endearing, more memorable, more charming and for this girl it’s given me a night I’ll never forget.
Unfortunately I can’t make to tomorrow night. I’m sure you guys will make me feel like I’m (almost) there in your reviews.
See you Saturday!!

Return of Imperfect List - for the second night. (Score:1)
Happy he finally took my As You Like It book. Hopefully he'll find where I marked and what I wrote funny. He also took Elaine's Elvis calendar and Diane's poster. She made a fantastic poster by the way.
Went out to Cat and Fiddle afterwards, but no Moz in sight. Oh well, enough said.
Great show today, got to hear Jack The Ripper sound checked a few times then to open. Absolutely amazing. It was also the roughest I've seen the encore so far. What a fun night.

Due to the line at Will Call, I missed "Jack The Ripper", and didnt see the actual stage until "Sister Im a poet". But, from that moment - through to "Throwing My Arms Around Paris" I was truly dazed and in awe!
The feelings came back and I nearly drowned under them. I left during Paris because, Inside I knew I just could not handle any more NEW Moz. I was full.
My ears and arms will be ready, wide to receive when the new album

Other stuff... Kristeen told the tech Baby Jeff's monitor was out so this might've been the same monitor that threw off Moz.

Sorry my post is so negative tonight. I usually let it all settle first, but Mr. Big (not) was such an f'up and got in the way of so many of us trying to enjoy the show. I'm looking forward to reading more positive stuff from people who were less distracted.
----
The miracle moment was:
Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me. The English woman next to me cried... She and her husband said that it's never been played before.
Kristeen and the audience are also finally beginning to meld nicely. You are truly beautiful, Kristeen.
And Jesse just gets hotter and hotter every night! A funny moment was when Boz came around during the reverb of HSIN and checked out Jesse and then the keyboardist (Mike Farrell?) like a drilling music teacher, watching, inspecting, moving on after approval. The moment before, Boz also had his fun doing Hendrix tricks with the mic stand and his own guitar.
ok, that's it for now... zzzz...

2)girls- if you shave your arms, do it relatively close to the concert. I have burns all over my arm from girls rubbing up on me from thier arm stubble.
3) use deodorant
4) Just be respectful to those around you. I would hate for Morrissey to stop a show becuse people are acting stupid and fighting.
Thanks!
Southpaw!!! (Score:0)
When he started talking about my sign I was in shock, in disbelief that he was straight out talking to me. So after he said "holding up the 'Southpaw' sign for the past...five years!" threw me off!!! and could not hear the rest.

tips for getting to closer to the stage (Score:1)
2. make sure you are extra sweaty and you have the "wet look", sort of like a walrus.
3. say things like "have you seen my girlfriend?" or "my girl wants to get on stage!" to confuse us into thinking that you really have a girlfriend.
4. start smoking a cigarette! everyone loves a smoker, especially in close quarters.
5. bend over and push your fat ass back to make room.
6. throw your midget hands up in the air like you don't care!
7. apply more pomade to help "slip" threw the cracks.
8. tell everyone you are a BIG fan and that you just "have to".
9. make sure you have the funk... or was that burnt ham in your pants?
10. just be your usual disgusting self!
BONUS - take hundreds of really "cool" blurry pictures. those are going to be so good when you upload them. great job!

Forgot to mention that on Monday, when Moz came out, he gave us all in the front row quizzical looks like "You, again?!" and then pretended to machine gun us. Ah, you have killed me, Moz!
It certainly was ballsy of Moz do open with Jack the Rrrrrr. It's a great song, of course, and one that many wanted to hear live again, but as a slower-paced song, it was very risky to use as an opener...but it worked fabulously!
Moz did a lot of funny adlibs not normally done. During P'Boys, he didn't sing "International" as usual and lets everyone else sing it, but he also dropped "Such things I do, just to make myself more attractive to you. Have I failed?" and let the audience belt it out instead. After we sang, "Have I failed?" in response Moz yelled, "YES!"
He's been subtly changing lyrics to One Day Good-Bye.... and other new songs. I think he sang something slightly different from "tiny children will tell you that you smell". And I think instead of singing "When I die, I'm going straight to Hell" it sounded like "I wanna go to Hell" to me.
Sang "Manchester blood in my veins" during Stretch.
After The Loop Moz joked he didn't actually have a phone. Well, I guess by all means call him, then!
I showed Moz my nasty cracker jack tattoo when he sang "Crashing Bores" during the "uniformed whore" bit, and he whipped his head away like that little girl in the Stop Me viddy. Heh heh. But he was kind enough to come over and touch my hand during I Like Yuh. Moz was fairly sparing with the hand contact until the encore madness.
In case, you didn't get BOYRACER76's quote, the Palladium went especially mad with stage invasions when Moz yelled, "I have to save my people!" as he reached out and grabbed a crowd surfer's hand while said crowd surfer was tussling mightily with security.

i was about 3-4 rows back on Mikey's side and i don't think i was able to keep my balance for more than a few seconds at a time.
i was in the zone until a sweaty pig woman was using my shoulder as support as she pogo'd and whipped her sweaty hair in my face, killing the mood.
then they did Death Of A Disco Dancer, a song i've always hated, therefore will not sing along to.
i swear Morrissey made eye contact with me the whole time, which made me feel a little guilty
the encore, was as nuts as everyone says. when he tossed the black shirt, it landed RIGHT in my hand, jointly held by about four more people. i had it by the sleeve seem at the shoulder...with a mighty tug i ripped it *almost* off, when suddenly the world went black and i felt myself crushed under the weight of 30 people, with about as many under me. i still had that fucking shirt, with blood oozing out from under my fingernails. when i finally could stand up, there's a guy frantically punching the shit out of people on top of him. "he'll make it" i think to myself and continue the tug of war. then i see a girl PASSED THE FUCK OUT under about five guys and finally my stupid human compassion gets the better of me and i let go and started helping people up. some guys carried the unconscious girl off, were she was probably given some hot coco and got a private meeting with Morrissey where he gave her his pants- autographed.
so, to that girl who got flattened...i hope you're happy for making me loose that shirt. goddamnit.
