The director of this film, J. Barry, recently sent me a promo copy of this DVD. It was quite a surprise because I had heard occasional rumors of the filming of it but never really expected it to actually come out. As someone who followed this tour from behind the computer, it was incredible to see this footage, professionally filmed and carefully edited.

Seeing the fans (including the blind girl that got on stage who I'd only heard about), venues, and general hysteria that followed this tour was a great visualization and reminder of all of the great accounts I had read of this tour last year. There is actually quite a lot of footage of Morrissey in these 30 minutes - in concert clips but also backstage and in other more casual situations. Read more info about this film at the above link and I will be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

                    I would like to thank J Barry for creating such an extraordinary (OK, I haven't seen it yet, but it's potentially wonderful) memento of Morrissey's most recent tour.

                    Personally, I can't believe Moz actually OK'd this (if he wanted a tour film, I would think he would recruit one of his "insiders" to do it...or maybe J Barry IS an insider??).

                    At any rate, I will be purchasing this thankfully non-corporate DVD (note to self: buy a DVD player) and look forward to all that awaits me.

                    "Very Best of the Smiths," be damned! THIS is where Moz-fans' money should go.

                          Looks like I'm finally gonna have to get myself a DVD player. I've been trying to hold out until the whole region coding thing gets scrapped, but that'll probably never happen. (Damn greedy corporate bastards!) Oh well, at least the DVD is region free. I'm happy to hear that.

                          Now all we need is another DVD signing from Morrissey. But since this isn't a corporate-backed DVD, I guess Morrissey's just gonna have to have it at his house. It's the only logical thing to do.

Such a shame - he used to be so handsome.. and it seems that his lips are gone - they've sunken into his face - which is now as big as a cream pie - and his hair is definitely in need of a tonic..
