Stoke-on-Trent - Victoria Hall (July 5, 2011) post-show

Tomorrow. Don't do that to me. I'm sat at home wondering if I should be on a train right now!

It is truly refreshing to see Morrissey is back ontop of his game. Last tour, it seemed, a black cloud haunted and hovered above the whole tour with a undeniable air of negativity (mainly off his unsupportive supporters). It's nice to see how quickly people forget.

I havn't had the chance to see Moz yet, unless he plays B'ham or Cheltenham, but it seems he is reinvigerated and rejuvinated, sharp and pumped, ready to deliver his best (in performance and songs). For those lucky enough to see him I would realise that he (as it alluded to at Glasto), like many artists, feed off the response of the crowd. It is the fuel for any performers fire and makes a good concert one of the greats.

Long may Moz's success endure, I just hope that some fat-cat record label happens to witness one of his performances and we get the album!

THANK YOU!

side note: i've never said a negative thing about jessie in my life, but after listening to him make a joke out of the solo in Fatty, i think i have to agree with the other people about him. it was as if he began some rogue foreign song, am i wrong?

Thanks for the video documentation of just how bad Jesse Tobias is.
He's flat out painful on guitar.

Tried to post last night when got home as this local gig for me but broadband problems stopped that
It was a really great concert and the post by Smiths Indeed is a great factual account of the night
The atmosphere was fantastic and Morrissey really seemed to feed off that
Highlights for me were There is a Light ( felt goosebumps when that started) but that was surpassed by I Know it's Over
Vocal and delivery on that were absolutely superb - not always been fan of some of the Smiths stuff played by Jesse etc but this version was fantastic Been going to gigs for best part of 30 years and that could well be best single song ever heard live
Saw an old mate after who summed it up saying Moz is just best front man there is
Boring wife and daughter with details at minute

Absolutely brilliant last night, the set list, the venue, Moz, the band and the crowd. I loved every minute of it.

 

[Gin]

Walking around this morning with a smile only face just thinking about last nights gig. Just perfect in every way. Morrissey, you are adored!

 

[Evil Legal Eagle]

My 25th Morrissey / Smiths concert (stretching back 26 years) and (with the possible exception of the MEN Arena in 2004) almost certainly the best.

What more can I say (apart from, "Roll on tomorrow night!")?

Jesse is not so bad for a work experience touring rock band guitarist.

 

[Black Eyed]

Fantastic gig, full of energy and fun. Moz was on fine form vocally and verbally, I absoloutely loved it. I was in the balcony but took some photo's, not great, but whoever gave him the sign might like the below I laughed out loud when he crawled along the stage

What time was Morrissey and the support on stage? what time did it finish?

 

[Anonymous]

Great gig.. although slightly perturbed by Boz's growing resmblance to the 'actor', Jonah Hill....

 

[Anonymous]

What did the badges say that the band were wearing?? I saw one on the bassist which said "I hate girls". What were the others?

So we've lost our boy. First Jesse, now Sol. All those good guitar genes gone to Sodom. Terrible news for the future of music, that.

(good day for fishing trollfishies? They're staring, that's a start...)

I am absolutely squirming with jealousy reading about this tour! Please, please, please let the London dates be this good!

Support act were on around 8pm and were done by 8.35 - quite quick turnaround between acts... helped by the great 'intermission' video
