~ He said if we dont come tomorrow (sat/final LA gig) he's gonna whoop your ass!
~Sal played fantastic, that kid can play.
~I half FAINTED when they did Jack The Ripper and National Front Disco. Girlfriend In A Coma was a MASSIVE sing a long as was Death of A Disco Dancer. This was my 4th LA gig and Im lovin it that hes playing this one. Very nice with the lights going and everything. Same with HSIN.
~ Moz was chatty but, not as chatty as Mondays (10/8/07) gig.
~THE CROWD SUCKED! Not any stage inv. AGAIN til the very end. Some dude, tried to make his way up like midway through the gig and the chicks next to me were almost in tears cos the dude went over them. LAME, your at a gig in a mosh pit, whatdyou expect? I always say if you dont wanna get hurt in a pit, watch from the balcony. The side facing the stage to the left, looked like they were having it the whole show. Nice.The girl infront/next to me, gosh I already forget your name but you guys were way cool. True fans. I helpd her over the barrier. Security was kinda tight but, not as bad as tuesdays gig.
~Moz did a ton o hand shaking. For a few years, I thought, I was on Mozs shit list for some unknown reason, maybe he saw me giving him forks at the Ventura gig a few months back and that made him refuse to shake my hand at a few LA gigs in the past. The entire gig Id stick my hand out to him to shake but, he never would. I shook his hand in 91 and 99. the final encore comes on FOTGTD, a rip roaring rendition of it, Boz and Co. givin it their all, the crowd hav suddenly woken up, GEE I wonder why? Masses and masses of crowd surfers, Moz trying to shake hands with all the brave ones, I some how have managed to end up front row center in all the KAOS, hes pacing the stage back and forth making sure he's trying to get everyone, when he's passing me, and stops, reaches out towards me, and "SHAKES-MY-HAND" without sounding like a 12yr old backstreet boy fan, the tears just rolled down my face, and I shouted to him "THANK YOU MORRISSEY" and for that split few seconds, I knew Morrissey understood "the story of my life". No, Im not washing my hand tonight, just one night though. His hand was super soft. Not sweaty just warm. lol
See you bitches tomorrow.

I'm Gonna Whoop Your ASS! (Score:1)
Somebody tell me that Moz didn't really say that whoever doesn't show up tomorrow he'll "whoop thier ASS"!!!!!!!! Beneath the "DeeGees", Evian spritz, and tea, Moz "gots" some hood in him.
Kinda funny when Moz yelled out to Boz, to which he replied in an Englishy way: "Yes suuuuhhhhh!" Boz then "gets" it and rips into Jack the Ripper.
People were barely into it, already thinking about tomorrow's final gig. We'll see if we get "Drive-In Saturday", "Still Ill", "Song From Under The Floorboards" or some b-side not performed live yet.
That's if Moz quits "jaking" it! He "jaked" during the first song. I have a feeling sound guy at the beginning of the show, with the Moz Posse shirt, is gonna hear it tomorrow. Sad thing is, it's probably just Moz "jaking" it! Someone in the crowd called him out on it too!
He gave the mike to a fan who asked what he hears in the mike because "to us you sound wonderful". Moz didn't fall for it as he told this lame-o: "You're trying to be encouraging. That only works with..."
At this point the alcohol takes effect yet again and I can't quite remember what he said. Any clones wanna grab this vine and finish the swing?!
I think I was distracted by dudes selling ducketts at the beginning of the show. What is with those "scalps"? What can they possibly want a duckett for? Either LAPD does a good job of hiring undercovers, or these scalps must resell very high because none of them seem to be "with" it. One guy in particular creeped me out:
"HEY-HEY-HEY-HEY-HEY=HEY-HEY-HEY ANYONE GOT TICKETS?!"
This "zombie" wouldn't let up! Which brings me to how Moz left the stage: With his arms out like, you guessed it! One of the undead. I kid you not! Moz came hard tonight. Can't say the same for the crowd, but homeboy better get rest for tomorrow's "trim"!

You motherfuckers aren't the only ones to dish out 500+ dollars for Morrissey.
And don't give me that "Boo Hoo, cry me a river" sort of shit!
I understand that a "list" is made of people who are in line, but the loverly Mel Torment writes it up. So therefore whoever is on the list is her friend and will get the barrier, but to those she doesn't know or doesn't care to know she'll just tell them that it's not a guarantee that they get a good spot on the floor.
This isn't high school. This is Morrissey. Everyone who paid the money for all 10 tickets should be able get at the barrier, be able to shake his hand, get a piece of his shirt... We shouldn't have to put up with this childishness
I wonder what Morrissey would think if this was brought up to his attention.
I just hope that this doesn't happen to again when he plays in New York.
The Imperfect List (Score:1)
If say 60 people bought the 10 day package, and there is space for about 30 people at the barricade, then it's inevitable that some 10 day package holders won't get up front. Don't blame me for how disorganised the Palladium is when it comes to letting people in and taking tickets.
There really are no guarantees. In Frankfurt last year, I was the first to queue (and Germany is quite cold in the winter), but I didn't even make it to the barrier because the security guard couldn't open up the lane of the corral I was in.
I was 20-something on the list Friday despite leaving right after Thursday's concert to get back into the queue, and I didn't think I'd make it to the barrier, but I did. It was astonishingly calm and civil until the encore.
Moz gave me the mic. He asked, "Are you well?" I said I was feeling rather nasty (he emphasized the motto "Some of us is turning nasty" at the end of one of the early songs). Couldn't hear me, and handed me the mic again. After the 2nd failed attempt, I just refused the proffered mic. Then E took the mic and asked Moz what he's hearing up there (because the monitors going out clearly frustrated Moz) but what we're hearing sounds wonderful. Moz said E;s encouraging words only works for children and ponies. Awww... Moz the pony ; )
I think during FirstUv, when Moz sang "and the very poor" he pointed at me. It was funny at the time.
As others have written, crowd rather dull compared to the unexpected rowdiness of the previous weekdays. I myself felt a little out of it.
Yesterday, I was experiencing anticipatory grief at how the Palladium residency was going to be over soon. But then in some way, with all the nastiness of gig politics (in the queue, in the venue, etc.), to be finished would be a relief.

I admit that this video is horrible and it didn't help that I had to compress (it even more to get it up on YouTube)...but I when I recorded it, I was focused on the sound. I left the front pit in order to capture the full sound of the music which was better in the back.
I can't wait for the studio version to be released! ENJOY!!

After the gig last night there was little time to waste in getting back to the hotel to catch Moz on the telly, Carson Daly show, "all you need is me"... not shabby at all! But before that on the Conan show there was Mark Ronson doing "stop me"....shabby dosent say it all. DISGUSTING does. Attempted Murder right there.
Nevertheless (is that one word or three?), It tells us all we really need is Moz and yes, I will miss him when he's gone and please lets have "There is a light" to close L.A., Is that too much to ask?....Ive had enough of arguing over spots in line and downloads, Lets make tonight an all time gig to remember...Im going to the zoo today to see if I can see a Giraffe in the meantime...sue me, I like Giraffes! Elephants too.

Aside that, it was a lovely show. Second time seeing Mozzy, and it was a good one. Very nice coming out the Palladium to rain. Although I didn't have a sweater, I'm not sure if there could have been any better way to leave.
