"and Moz in high pitched voice said something to introduce himself": He said, "I'm Trini Lopez."

 

[Anonymous]

Band wore "Morrissey for President" T shirts. For band intro each one introduced himself and Moz in high pitched voice said something to introduce himself but I could not figure out what he said maybe someone else can clarify.

President of what, the Hair Club for Men? Somebody should tell him about the natural-born citizen requirement for American presidents!

 

[realitybites]

He needs to 86 the shirt tossing.

 

[evennow]

Ditching the sailor tops and loose fitting bottoms for jeans, a fitted (that looks to be) tuxedo jacket, and a collared button down white shirt really suits him well. So much more attractive like this. I give it

He also needs to ditch the crotch jewelry and shirt tossering, stat.

Best show I've seen in ages. He had tons of energy.

President of what, the Hair Club for Men? Somebody should tell him about the natural-born citizen requirement for American presidents!

Not to mention the fact that it's ok now to be a black president but female or gay ? Ooomm ! I don't think the Yankee hillbillies are ready for that one anytime soon Steve !
Just ask the guys from BBC Top Gear who thought it was ok to write "man love " on their car at the " gasoline station ".

He wouldn't take the job if was handed to him on a plate anyway. He's always gobbling off about this and that yet when invited to sit on the panel of BBC Question time to explain his thoughts runs off to hide behind Mummy's dress tails until he plucks up the courage to come out with some more embarrassing gibberish horse shit diarrhoea !
He's all yours America.

The dickdanglers noticeably grow in length when he plays predominantly gay crowds. Aiming to entice them by way of optical illusion crotch jewelry? Silly Steven - such a trickster! Valiant effort, though, I must say.

Anything to distract people from his face.

Looks like someone had a little too much baked spaghetti and the famous Sinatra cannolis for Christmas. Better start on the two a days with the "Malibu Trainer to the Stars" before the big NYE show because rumor is Lil' Sammy Productions LTD will be filming it on his new Iphone 7 Uncle Steve and Aunt Nancy got him for Christmas.

Damon is probably married to a WOMAN now living in someplace like Flint, Michigan eating McDonalds for dinner, just like Jake. You people will never get it. Well, as long as the gays keep buying tickets. Anonymous-

In all seriousness, it is pretty sad when a Morrissey tribute band plays the song better than his actual band.

And how many times do want to mention that? It doesn't stop Moz from playing it this way. So it's pointless. Apart from that, this tribute band doesn't play it better, they play it closer to the original recording and I suppose that's exactly what Moz doesn't want to do. If you don't like it, listen to the original recording and avoid listening to the current version. Simple as that.

He is incredibly beautiful

Great show, wonderful venue. Top notch performance, had a great time once again. Well worth the trek and foreboding fear of a last minute cancellation. NorCal crowds can be pretty mellow, but this was a good group.

This was my 12th or 13th Morrissey show (you lose an accurate account after a while), and it was a really great show. The band sounds amazing.

A couple of things made this show a real standout; during "Speedway," the lights went out about 2/3 the way through and, when they came back on, Morrissey was behind the keyboard, Boz was on the drums, and Gustavo was front and center with the microphone, singing the remaining part of the song in Spanish; that was a really neat touch, not to mention to see Boz finish off the song with some nice drum licks (have been seeing Morrissey for 20+ years, and had never seen his band members switch instruments Sebadoh style).

Another thing that was really great is that he played the B-side "Ganglord" from a few years ago. I always liked that song, and heard him play it 4-5 years ago in London. What made it especially powerful at the Masonic is that the videos behind the band were all videos showing police brutality against humans and animals, including the Walter Scott video from South Carolina; this really reinforced the lyrics of the song and made it an amazing political statement.

I also love the song "Staircase at the University," and was glad to see it get played; that last bit with the classical guitar solo is amazing, and seeing Gustavo play it live was a lot of fun. "

World Peace" also sounded great, even though whatever little gizmo Boz was trying to play never worked.
