Absolutely fantastic!!! I’ve waited 37 years for this moment and Morrissey didn’t let me down!! He’s a true performer and was pitch perfect! It was great to see young and old together (mainly old 🤣) It was a shame he didn’t do ‘I spent the day in bed’ but nevertheless it was amazing!!! His band were excellent too… ❤️❤️ Don’t stop Mozzer xxxxx

I’m currently in bed drifting in & out of intermittent sickness sleep when I should really be at this gig.

I was really happy that I managed to book tonight off work & nab a ticket at face value on Sunday evening…at about the same time I started to feel my throat getting a little sore…

The past couple of days I felt gradually worse and then today, I awoke from a 12 hour sleep feeling like a reheated corpse.

Even up to the last couple of hours I was making myself dinner & forcing myself into the shower, attempting to gear myself up to head to the gig, but even listening to a podcast makes my throbbing skull ache so there’s no way I could stand in a crowd of people being blasted with extremely loud live music.

Absolutely gutted. I was so looking forward to hearing him sing so many of my favourite songs tonight…& with Alain back in the band; just as he was when I first saw Moz back in ‘91 & ‘92.

Anyway, I just hope the new album really is coming out soon & that he’ll tour again to promote it, playing a similar set-list in similar-sized venues.

I even thought about just turning up near the end of the set & entering the venue just in time to hear him play Please, Please, Please… but my poor head & body are not supporting this idea.

I hope everyone who attended tonight had a great gig & that plenty of pics & videos will be shared here…

snoddy your health comes first,crap that you couldnt make the concert,there will be others in the future as this one is going so well.
 
Yes, I've been waiting to see if anyone had ID'd the 'Birmingham Song ' he sang.

& when he reaches the bit about fish & dolphins, or whatever, I’m just thinking “what are you talking about, Moz? This is a song about a prostitute, right?”

:unsure: mmm. Are you implying prostitutes can't swim?
Yet they can float, otherwise there wouldn't be so many tv series in which somebody exclaims "Guv'! We have a floater!" when they find a lady of the night in a canal...

...Anyway I have to stay on topic otherwise I'll get moved again ("reason: this thread is about Birmingham.") :
Tiger balm. And grogs.
Unless it's covid; then it's bleach.

What did he sing 'acapella' before this? It was both hilarious and moving.

The only acapella I'm aware of was before How Soon is Now, and the words were "I, who have nothing!".
 
No, he said 'This is a Birmingham song, maybe you'll know it?' then sang acapella for about 30 seconds. Then he asked if we knew it, and the audience all yelled out 'no!'. Someone called up to him 'what song is it then? ', but Moz just said 'no,no,no' then we were on to the next proper song. Hopefully someone filmed it.

No he sang a song which not many seemed to recognise, half way through, presumably a local thing? Obviously need a video…
 
Famous Amos said:
Obviously he does not want any physical contact as he cannot have people breathing on him and get sick during this tour. Many bands have this protocol. If it fails, you have to cancel shows like Ringo Starr, Justin Bieber or Echo and the Bunnymen.

Apart from during the shows….

Yeh pretty sure it was before Hurling Days. He said something along the lines that this is a Birmingham song. Perhaps he's trying to do the Peaky Blinders film
