Second, there were a few too many drunks in the crowd. Lots of shoving, lots of moving about, so that pretty soon on the whole right side of the stage positions had changed. Everyone got moved to a new spot by some totally psycho woman who was waving her beer around (and some fake badge that she said was a police badge, giving her the right to move us aside).
My friend and I waited after the show to see Moz, but no luck. Came out some other entrance and scurried onto the bus.
Overall a great show, though, all thanks to the venue. Great size, security wasn't overbearing and rude (many were quite nice), and they moved us in efficiently and orderly, so that even upon arriving my friend and I had time to scout around before choosing a spot.

This is the most playful Halloween gig I've ever seen Mozzer do!
At first I thought th'Lads were simply topless, but then when the lights came on, I was astonished to see that they were not wearing trousers! I would've liked to see their reactions when they got the memo about what this evening's costume would be.
As others reported, Boz had the words "Disco Dancer" on his chest. Solomon (who got lots of cheers and applause from the salivating gay male and het female contingent) had a box drawn around STOSH Me, and his nipples appeared to have red hearts painted on. Gosh, even *I* couldn't stop staring! Matt had WAUKEGAN on his chest. Jesse had something like "LET'S FEELY". It seemed rather Japanese to me because the Japanese are fond of Engrishisms as "let's " as in "let's car to restaurant". Couldn't really see it too well because his guitar strap (oo-er) was obscuring the letters most of the night. On Jesse's back was written "HENCHMAN EN MEXICO", which I believe is a pun on "Hecho en Mexico" (Made in Mexico) and maybe on the notion that a henchman does El Jefe's dirty work. Mikey had "YES SIR I CAN BOOGIE" on his chest. I was totally mystified by what was written on his back: CLEVELAND IS MY WOMAN . Is this like the "wide to receive" written across the ass on the '97 tour shirts? Th'Lads also had shiners painted on some of their eyes. Some people think that what was written on th'Lads' bodies looked like Morrissey's handwriting. Oh ho, I would've loved to see Moz applying that to them!!
Moz did a lot of moob caressing and even shirtlifting :o !! Life is not supposed to be this fun, damnit!
He made some atypical lyrical changes, but I had too much to drink at unhappy hour, so I can't remember. Okay, one that I can recall happened during Jack the Ripper -- "You don't agree, but you NEVER refuse" and "You don't agree, but you WOULD NEVER refuse, WOULD YOU?" It also reminded me of one night when he did it in L.A. and sang, "I want you, yes ALL of YOU!" with a wide sweeping gesture. But he didn't repeat that tonight.
Moz mentioned with no small amount of sarcasm how glad he was to be #94 in the list of 100 top living geniuses in The Telegraph but added that there's always a big but(t)...out of all the names, they could not spell his correctly. But then after all, it's The Telegraph and how can we expect such things out of them, eh?
After either THROW UP or PARIS, with some of us cheering particularly enthusiastically, he said, "Thank you, music lovers! All twelve of you."
He asked something like "On this special day what happens" and handed the mic round to the house right side of the audience. Various people said things about Halloween. Other people who didn't get the mic shouted that the special event was that Morrissey came to Baltimore! Moz seemed mock disappointed and asked, "Is that all?"
When Moz left to change shirts, Boz started tapping on and quasi-massaging Arturo's shoulders with his bare footie! Hah hah, Arturo took it good-naturedly while everyone else, from security guards to audience members was cracking up at the spectacle.
For Halloween, my costume was a cheesy-ass pair of devil horns, a pin-on devil tail, and the black "Je suis Morrissey" shirt = I am a handsome devil. I had called him a "handsome devil" in SF. I had a whip, too, but I left it in my room because I was afraid the venue wouldn't let me bring in the prop. I wasn't allowed to bring in the satanic pitchfork made of plastic when Moz played a Halloween show in '97.
When he gave me the mic and asked for suggestions, I gave Moz an R. Crumb tin of Devil Girl hot

great show but seemed a little tame compared to NY (Score:0)
However I couldnt see much because three gigantic bulky men were blocking all my views.
I grabbed his shirt only to have my finger and arm twisted to the point where I couldnt move it for a few minutes but in the process of tugging on the shirt I broke some buttons off and after the show scurried for them. I might as well get something out of it.
Nina from Girl in A Coma was awesome to talk to and I loved her halloween/ day of the dead tribute to Frida.
I didnt like however how people at the back of the line got into the venue before some of the people who were there since early on. I guess that's just the venues fault.
i kindof wanted him to play Lucky Lisp.

Opening with "The Loop" was fantastic. No "Interesting Drug" so I'm extra stoked I saw that last NYC show.
The lads' loincloth getups were ridiculous, and Boz looked especially hilarious.
I've decided I really like Girl In a Coma.
My tour ends here, and I don't know what to do with myself now haha. Cheers to everyone I met waiting in line and hanging out over the last week and a half. I will see you in far off places.

The band is fantastic, and those who complain that they are not The Smiths are missing the point. It's 2007, and Morrissey has put together a crew that rocks very, very hard. He will not go gently into that good night, and it's that attitude that I just love.
This is the last show of the tour for me. I first saw him in England, on the first leg, and have been there on-and-off since then. Words cannot express how spectacular it has been. Last night was the ultimate show - small venue, nearly-naked band and Morrissey - the Man Himself, in full voice, good humor, and great form.
There is no doubt that Moz still has it and, more than that, he approaches fifty with more grace, talent and sex-appeal than most men half his age can muster.
The Queen isn't dead, long live the King.

Boz looks especially joyous with a sombrero on...
the band looked kind of miffed to be practically naked...Morrissey smelled like church, and was a bit stingy with the handshakes.
Eric and Roland were my favorite people in line..
and the girl behind me, Boz side, in the red shirt, I was proud of your attempted stage crash.

Moz told us about the list, how he was #94, and then how his name was the only one misspelled on the entire list!
The story was followed laughter, cheers, sorrowful awwwwe's, and his errupting into "... Crashing Bores".
It was perfect!

This was nothing like a Morrissey concert I remember...I thought I'd go to Baltimore to see Moz in small space, but feck all if I knew I'd be surrounded by such lumps, I would have stayed at home.
