He didn't dissapoited nothing at all.
Performing as I expected thousand of times in my mind.
One of the best tracklist that I could imagine ever.(but where was suedhead my friend?hahaha)
And with the present for me that He opened the show with "the last of the famous..." in a really peculiar version.
AMAZING

ask,that's how people grow up: the crowd got mad
vicar in a tutu: very good revision
death of the disco dancer: very intense
life's a pigsty: this live performance has become a classic
how soon is now?: people ending up in ecstassy.
The talks I can remember are:
"I can speak mexican, but I can't speak spanish"
"You are too old to forget, I am too young to remember"- When introducing "vicar in a tutu"
"I am nobody, somebody who is passing through.."- When introducing himself
"Why have you lasted so long to ask for me?" - Talking about last time he stayed in Madrid, he said 1952 (!), he insisted we were not born at that time.
"How can you stay alive in that heat?" - Surprisingly he only changed shirt once.
"We went to FNAC last night and we looked at the shelves with the CDs...you know blah blah blah...blah blah bla...the world is full of crashing bores" - FNAC is a french company that mainly sells books and music very popular in Madrid.
"Matador, bang bang" - When introducing life's a pigsty, that he dedicated to all the bullfighting world. "Matador de toros" means literally "killer of bulls", but it is a word only used to call the bullfighter.
By the way I do love the bullfighting and bull running, I think there is a lot of ignorance when ranting this terrific vital experience, not forgetting the artistic meaning.
The ambiguos point of the night was when Morrissey introduced the band he said something about "???? Cockroaches" or maybe I misunderstood..can someone help me on this?
Overall, when do you come back Mozzadelo?"
Your face I can see... it's really not bad. (Score:1)
+ his wit
+ his attitude
+ the sound - technically well done imo
+ the audience - although a bit shy
+ the band - seemed very pro, liked very much the gong sound when was used.
- the cucarachas
- fnac's record selection
- his mexican accent when trying to speak english
- that I could not see well what the hell was he doing when he lay on the stage floor
Morrissey es el puto amo, and I hope we dont have to wait till 2052 to see you there again.
ps "This next song is from our new CD that comes out in september, yes, you all have a copy already..."

The gig was amazing, Morrissey was in a really good mood & sounded great!!!
I was for a week in holiday in probably the most hottest town of Spain, temperature 39, that's a little bit tooo
I hope it will change, soon.
But off course i came especially for Morrissey to Madrid, he was really amazing, looking good, burnt browny body
Allso Siouxsie & My Bloody Valentine were very good.
It was my first time in Madrid and not the last one.
I take some great pictures of our big M from Manchester....
go to this link and you will find them, enjoy!!!

Steven: With so many beatiful songs, why play Death of a Disco Dancer??
P.S. Hope that we are 3 next time.

Esto sin embargo no puede servir de excusa para justificar el triste espectáculo del pasado sábado. Una ciudad como Madrid, que lleva 25 años esperando la llegada de un artista no puede responder de manera tan fría y distante. Realmente daba pena ver las gradas semivacías de un recinto que ni con mucho llega al aforo del Santiago Bernabeu que había llenado hasta los topes Springsteen un par de días antes.
Dicho esto, creo que tenemos lo que nos merecemos y que nuestro país está plagado de “Crashing Bores” , y creo que Morrissey no se entregó como lo he visto en otros conciertos porque el público no estuvo ni mucho menos a su altura.
Luego nos extraña que ciudades como París o Roma sean citas ineludibles en sus giras y a nuestro país viene cada 20 años.
Review by Loquillo (Spanish singer) ,El Mundo 22/7 (Score:1)
"Conocerme es amarme" Loquillo
Abandono BNA invadida por las hordadas brucespringstinianas. A salvo, durante el vuelo, enumero mis razones para ver a Morrissey pero no en las playas de Benicassim; plagadas de guiris con chanclas, sudor y tiendas de campaña, exactamente la antítesis de Morrissey; exquisito narcisista, urbanita e individualista, pura esencia de la decadencia europea, lo que más odian los críticos musicales de este país.
Me gusta porque en el mundo de la música puedes ser artista, creador y estrella.Morrissey es artista y creador pero, por encima de todo, es estrella y, aunque ni bebe, ni fuma, ni folla, es más estrella que Kate Moss y Pete Gallaguer juntos.
Me gusta porque no haya caído en la tentación de resucitar a su banda de sus odiados 80, los Smiths, por un puñado de dólares ("antes de reunir a los Smiths me comería los huevos", dixit), porque él sabe, y va siendo hora de decirlo, que es verdad, que los supera con creces.
Me gusta especialmente el detalle de echar a un road manager porque le gusta Elton John. Eso es lo correcto, pura actitud.
Me gusta que sea políticamente incorrecto, un ególatra confeso, molesto y antipático que no hace ni un solo gesto a la galeria para conseguir el aplauso planetario, porque Morrissey es planeta y universo en si mismo. Cuando vas a ver a Morrissey no vas a ver a "un tipo como tú", vas a ver al amo y señor de su escenario, insultante versión del "porque yo lo valgo", el único artista británico de su generación que consiguió triunfar en América.
Y me gusta por algo que compartimos. Somos los dos, cada uno en su casa, los más bocas de nuestra generación.
Todo eso y mucho más me llevan al tórrido escenario del FIB madrileño -y caía un calor de plomo-, pero cuando Morrissey pisó el escenario radió Madrid como una tea. Derroche puro de elegancia y poderío musical, con una banda espléndida, a su misma altura. Intercambió clásicos por novedades, comentarios irónicos y una contundencia musical y emocional que molestó seguramente a quienes piensan que, tras 30 años de carrera, aún hay que seguir pidiendo perdón por subirse al escenario.
Y es que, ya antes de comenzar, nos llevó de viaje por sus referentes, declaración de principios para iniciados, guiños que combinaba la Bardot que Gainsbourg amó, el Vince Taylor que inspiró a Bowie, la serie Los Intocables de Elliot Ness, el clásico de cine carcelario de los 40 Cárcel de Mujeres, el inevitable guiño a los New York Dolls...que trasladó a la crónica emocional de sus canciones hermosas e hirientes, líricas y chirriantes.
Morrissey es un francotirador certero, sólo tienes que procurar no estar en su punto de mira.

Madrid now, Barcelona when? (Score:1)
His voice and tonnes told us about what a good singer he is.
His ways and manners explained us what a big entertainer he is.
We enjoyed his sentences, his songs and his presence.
Thank you, Morrissey.

Dek and Tony from London did you enter at last?
