Sunak, Sadiq Khan and Zelensky questions begin at 4:00 min.

I think (I would hope) that the idea was to ask about two leaders/politicians who he thinks are rubbish, then one he approves of to show a contrast, and he was hoping for a unanimous 'yes' for Zelenskyy. Or maybe he hates them all.

 

[sweetnuthin]

Unfortunately I didn't understand (again) what he said to audience after the third question

I caught, 'You got two out of three, which is not very impressive [...] Give us a chance!'

 

[david ingemarsson]

those security guys running in from the stage's left are truly embarrassing

good ending tho
even tho i love the sweet and tender ending

 

[Mozzer1980]

I caught, 'You got two out of three, which is not very impressive [...] Give us a chance!'

But it seems the audience booed all three of them...

 

[telegram-sam]

I'm dreaming of a time when 'Hand in Glove' is played. Has he done it in the last few years - or at all since the Smiths split?

I saw him do Hand in Glove at Glasgow Barrowlands in November 2002

That’s basically the story.
I was there on the night, it was a plastic bottle of water but it looked almost full.
That coming at you through the glare of a spotlight would be quite the shock and although it was awful to see Moz walk off stage after only two songs (This Charming Man. Black Cloud) I couldn’t really blame him. Support was from Doll & The Kicks who played a great set so it wasn’t an entirely wasted evening.

And let's not forget he'd collapsed at another show only a few nights before. As someone with his record for cancelling, it had probably taken a lot to get on stage for that show. And that was the thanks he got.

 

[Mozzer1980]

I have one more question. As I understand it, the Empire Theater is all seated. If so , did people from the queue list took places in front of the stage ( standing in a front row ) , no matter what seats they have bought ?

 

[sweetnuthin]

But it seems the audience booed all three of them...

Yes, so perhaps he was hoping for a cheer for Zelenskyy.

I was the first to get up and hug Morrissey does anyone have any footage ?

 

[Like_Elvis_In_The_Movies]

So, what’s happened to Notre Dame??

Is it possible the band didn’t like playing it?

Hopefully never to return and we can all try and forget about it.
Total ear damage of a song / lyrics to make you wince

[Famous when dead]

SER.

 

[Mozzer1980]

Stop me If you think someone posted this one before

 

[matt]

Well I thoroughly enjoyed that. Mr Shankly was a nice surprise (even as a Man Utd fan). Some weird quips but I actually enjoyed the majority of the set list. I must be in the minority that I like Knockabout World and quite a few others from IANADOAC! Quite a few Smiths ones to please the casuals but I have to agree it's funny to spot them when the pause comes in Speedway!

Also, I need to join the Carmen crush line. I felt like a stupid teenager!

And I got a signed Viva Hate.

He did it, the bastard worked his magic somehow and I loved the whole thing and I'm right back there as a superfan. Fame, fame, fickle fame!

 

[Young And Alive]

Were you expecting Shankly this evening? Moz can’t help the fact the internet has been invented since the 1990s.

He played it on a few dates last year, so it wasn’t a total surprise.

 

[Light Housework]

He sprayed something at the audience near the end of Frankly. lol
