What was it he said when he came on? "After a hundred years, here I am!" Ha!

"After A Hundred Years..." (Score:3, Informative)
Set list: I think it was the same as Montclair, although there was some minor change in order. I must confess, the energy level in the hall went noticeably down during the songs between "Disco Dancer" and "Skull."
Band outfits: all-green "Morrissey Irish Blood English Heart" t-shirts.
Shirts: only one thrown into the crowd, although there were three changes.
Stage crashers: six. No injuries to report.
Best Pittsburgh-related lyric changes: in IBEH, "
I thought the crowd on the floor was really into the set and encore from beginning to end. Moz seemed pleased throughout, and sweaty (the temperature got into the 60's Fahrenheit today).
That's all for now.

I've been curious about how the fans there feel about Morrissey's "relationship" with the city -- cancellations, the diss in On The Streets I Ran etc.
I guess on one had it's a compliment to have your home mentioned in a Moz song, but what a mention! I think the fact that fans were calling out for the song shows they appreciate his lighthearted disdain.
Thoughts?

We do live in a miserable town. I've been here all my life. Sometimes there's great stuff and I love it regardless - but hell yeah it's miserable. Try being a music fan in a town with three championship sports teams...
Anyway I always felt like it was an point of pride being mentioned in the song.

Yeah he's a diva. He's OUR diva.
Saying "I'm not going to go because he canceled a couple times, that'll show him!" is ridiculous, sour grapes stupidity, sorry. He doesn't have a vendetta or grudge against Pittsburgh, he couldn't be bothered to think twice about Pittsburgh. I live here and I can't be bothered to think about it. I've seen every tour, always going to NYC or OHIO or elsewhere to see him and have loved every show.
This one was great because it was home and in a fantastic venue. You missed out.

Not his strongest or most engaged performance. Crowd seemed edgy. But great show overall. Disco Dancer was surprise big track of the night.
Wish he'd done the new album front to back.

Last Night (Score:1)
The crowd was pumped. We sat in the first row of the first balcony, seats 10 ans 11. Death of a Disco dancer sounded exceptional, and all in all I think Moz was in great form. I think he likes us
I was fortunate to get Matt Wlaker's attention, at the end of the show when he was throwing sticks, he looked at me and tossed it my way. I had to dive sideways, over my wife, but I caught the stick and it is sitting in front of me on my desk. I could not be happier.

opening entrance and this charming man.
anyone have video of the encore? FOTGTD.
I've seen him many times before, but this one was special. The place was shaking with excitement the entire night. Security was a bit tight in the front aisles but I managed to project myself like a bullet during the encore and got a small piece of the Moz.

Magical evening (Score:0)
I am one of those who has been waiting many years for Moz to return and I couldn't have been more pleased. I am also old enough to have caught The Smiths at the Fulton theater back in the day which was also exceptional. I loved that he changed the lyrics from "the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat" to "the pleather runs smooth on the passenger seat". Very funny.

Firstly, sorry if I bumped anyone on my way up or hit anyone when I was pushed off stage.
Secondly, anyone have pictures or video of the show? Namely my awkward encounter? I'd really appreciate it.

All I can say is "Wow!" (Score:1)
As some of the others have said, the music hall was literally bouncing at times. I was in the first row center of the first balcony and you could feel the floor vibrating and bouncing! I swear that the guy beside me dancing in the aisle was going to fall over the balcony railing, but, thanks to his friends, no tragedy occurred. The place sure was rocking though!!!
Morrissey seemed to like the history of the hall, mentioning some of the historical folks who have been there in the past too.
Everyone was so friendly and so into the show. Even those around me who had had a few too many were okay and friendly.
Loved Death of
My husband made a diving "Swann" leap over me at the end of the show to catch a flying drumstick that made it up to the balcony. Now we have a great momento to remember the night.
Morrissey sounded TERRIFIC!!! It's amazing that he can still perform so strongly night after night given the difficulty of his songs and, no offense to those of us who are getting older, his age.
Overall, all I can say is WOW. As Morrissey said, "After 100 years, finally, hello!" Please come back sooner next time, Moz, we love you here in Pittsburgh!!!!!
Tried to take some pics and video from the show, but couldnt' with my little phone. If anyone has anything and is willing to share, please let me know. would love to have a visual memory of the night to keep!!! Thanks so much!

My two cents + Ask video (Score:1)
I've been fortunate enough to travel a whole bunch of places to see my Morrissey, but there is truly nothing like seeing him at home.
I thought the show was wonderful, the set list was interesting and diverse and actually felt like a longer set list than other tours.
I taped most of Ask and I Keep Mine Hidden...

Sold out show. No video from the encore? I find it hard to beleive. Somebody please help me find a video from the encore FOTGTD. email me at [email protected]. I am offering a very nice Moz related reward for the ONE who has the entire video from the encore- start to sweet ending-- hint: I'd give the shirt off my back for it.
