Moz knows about Tyler, TX for some strange reason. I think he could have name dropped a better city (no offense Tyler).
The show started with some clips and when the big screen fell and they should have started, the bass wasn't working so they had to switch. Moz was not happy about it.
vocally he was having a very good night. Not a lot of grunting and growling and he sang everything great. One sole kid got on stage and hugged him which was a feat considering the security was out for blood tonight. They took that poor kid away in a full nelson.

Lots of big attitudes unfortunately.
Courteeeners were fantastic as expected, though I was disappointed to hear people telling their guitar tech to "get their shit together" when he was tuning their instruments. They did very nicely.
Morrissey was in top form. The set list did not differ much from the past nights, though I don't remember seeing 'Let Me Kiss You' on prior set lists, which he did play. I could be wrong though, maybe he's been playing it all along.
The crowd was tame at first but got livelier as time passed. Morrissey seemed to be in a good mood and having fun, which always makes for a fun experience. Plenty of hand shakes (I got one, hooray!), and during the encore, lots of stage invasion ATTEMPTS, but only one successful go. My friend made it up there and landed a hug and a smooch on the man. That made my night. I was shoved down when I tried right after that... boo hiss indeed.
Fantastic show! I just can't stand sunburn....

played the same video clips before the show as the ringleader tour.
don't know why boz needs a different guitar for every song.
During the encore, during the hand grabbing, moz looked at his hand and turned a finger down and looking at his hand strange, like someone pulled his finger off. Then when security was helping him off, he walked like a zombie with his arms forward. quite funny
made comment about shirt throwing, saying those people who get the shirt leave after they get the shirt.
shirt goes off during 'let me kiss you'

When Morrissey came on stage I nearly fainted, it was so amazing. I wish I could remember all of the songs played, but I have terrible memory in that way. I know for sure How Soon is Now, Some Girls are Bigger Than Others, Irish Blood English Heart, Something is Squeezing My Skull, When I Last Spoke To Carol, This World is Full of Crashing Bores, Let Me Kiss You, How Could Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel and thats about as far as I can remember OH and Ask me. I almost thought he was going to play Life is a Pigsty which is one of my all time favs, when he started talking about how like was Kafka-esque. When I saw him in Oklahoma three years ago I remember him saying, "I wrote this when I was three" and then he started playing Life is a Pigsty, it was so Morrissey. He changed shirts three times, the final shirt being this amazing hot pink floral shirt. A lot of people tried to make it on stage, and I think they are amazingly brave because the guards were out for blood last night, and some prick little ex-military boy with a short little buzz cut jerked this one guys hand away from Morrisey. Morrisey shook a lot of hands. Mine was nearly one of them, but I'm only five feet tall so I wasn't able to reach, I must have made the most pitiful face because he made one back at me and tried to reach out, but I couldn't reach. The reason he looked at his finger at the end was my friend accidentally squeezed it to hard, she was trying to shake his hand and got a little carried away. Well, this has gone on way to long, but all in all the show was mind blowing. Music is my secular religion, the concert hall my church, and Morrisey my god. That's what kind of show it was

Again, congrats to 7 foot tall skinhead Mexican and his rockabilly Spector 45 crew for hacking out the long wait. Hopefully the next person who's been going to Palladium shows for years and years doesn't call you out on your bullshit about there "being a preferred list of first-entries" to a general admission venue and prick you in the back of the neck with an AIDS needle when you're not paying attention. Or not knowing the words to any of the songs you so strongly fight to attend the presence of.

It even beat out The Smiths era big girl shirts for ill-advised fashion.
It seems that even relatively disciplined gay men always have to take it to the next level in clothing at some point, and unleash their inner peacock.
Hopefully he wore it for shock value.

also, i live near tyler but still don't know why he asked about the town.
never made it to the front row. some of the guests were a little pushy/fussy about the crowd... but that's concerts.
still loved everything. love morrissey. got to mark off the top of my list of people/artists/bands i want to see.
there with my wife. still remember finding her empty cassette case for the smiths peel sessions and getting upset that she had lost it. married her anyway... 15 years ago.

I drove 9 hours to the show and it was definitively worth it. I just got back from the Houston show but I have only two words to say: LAME CROWD.
Cheers... I'll see you at the Austin show!
Great show - not all I desired, but what can I do? (Score:0)
Setlist was great. I am so beyond thrilled that he sang "Seasick" - I cannot tell you how much it meant to me. That was the first of his songs I ever heard, and it has always profoundly affected me. I wept during the performance. Now when I watch the video while working out I will smile instead of cry at the memory of his performance.
Vinyls sold out right before I got to the merchandise table, but I bought two t-shirts (including the green "Irish Blood English Heart" - love it!!) and went home deaf in my right ear, sunburned from waiting outside for 10 hours and walking into the walls, but thrilled.
Oh - I caught the Courteeners' setlist which was tossed right to me, and I handed it over to a fellow Morrissey-Soloist, who loves them more than I do. Lucky guy also snagged a Morrissey handshake. I'm 5'6" - why won't my arms reach past the barrier so I can shake his hand? SIGH.
An Iconic Night! Boz And Moz Naked? (Score:2, Insightful)
The show was astonishingly good. Morrissey was in absolute top form and gave a truly amazing performance!!! The way he shed his shirt during "Let Me Kiss You" right as he hit the last word in the line "and you open your eyes and see someone you physically despise" was masterful theater. And there were soooo... many of these moments. I can't understand why more people aren't mentioning Jesse though. Jesse was incredible throughout the night and brought the house down with his incendiary and mesmerizing solo at the end of "Death Of A Disco Dancer". He really looked the iconic Rockstar God with his chiseled backlit profile. I hope Moz hangs on to him. One of the best moments of the night came at the very end of the show when a young man made his way through the crowd at Jesse's urging, and threw him a Mexican flag. Jesse threw it over his shoulders with a casual flair right before he disappeared into the backstage shadows. It was an indelible final image, and one I'll never forget.
The Bad:
The extremely annoying recording of the droning British storytellers, which went on for what seemed like over an hour before the show, was sheer unrelenting torture. I think it was sadistically disrespectful to the fans. The Courteeners had a couple of good songs but were otherwise decidedly mediocre. The lead singer was so selfconsciously posey that it hurt to look at him at times. I'm not surprised that so many Dallas fans liked this meat and potatoes band though. The neanderthals in front of me cut Moz's shirt up with knives. Way to go security! It's amazing no one got their eyes poked out. These fans exhibited such blind rabid idolatry that if Moz and Boz came out naked dripping with vegetable oil singing "You're The One For Me Fatty" they would swoon with orgasmic bliss!

false starts....but a real performance. (Score:1)
There was the bass mishap at the start of the show and then Matt (the drummer) clicked the wrong tempo midway thru the set, cant remember the tune. But that was cool to see these guys have a "human" moment, no robotic performance. Boz eyed him and cued the correct tempo and the song was clicked off.....very cool, (although I bet the drummer was sweatin'.)
Then Boz started a hair too early in FOTGTD and Moz stopped him after the first note, finished his word and then cued Boz....
so damn cool to see the boys really playing their tails off....
killer show really...agree with the rest about the annoying tweens around, jeez, "like...." "like...."
I'm old. And how about the Dallas Morning News reporting all the parents that got babysitters so they could see a Moz show...too funny...
