My fingers will be so crossed until he is actually up on that stage performing! Nevertheless, I can't contain my excitement! This will hopefully be the most memorable tour yet!

Hopefully,for all of you , the shows will go on. But after losing out $$ on Tucson ,I won't be taken in twice.

We all know this is the greatest site, and your post helps put this tour in persepctive David.

We are all excited and we all have questions, and I know as I follow the tour on this website, many of these questions will be answered as the posts flow in.

Your post to me right back to the last tour which I followed on M-Solo as it snaked its way across country.

Thanks again. See you all in Phoenix.......woohoo!

gracias por existir !!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have the inside info on the set list? I'm dying to know. Do you think he'll be pushing the new box set of singles, as well as the new stuff?

Morrissey entered the U.S. Charts at 21 with "Your Arsenal". Oh, how can it be 10 years?!?

The passage of time/
and all of its sickening crimes/
is making me sad again...

I'd like to add a French merci to you David for the job you have already done. I feel u are a bit anxious about the tour as though you feared or knew it could be disappointed to you. I need to tell i was until very recently a sleepy Moz fan, he only represented somethin like 25% of my listening to music. Thanks to you and the site, i was taken by the flow, spent yesterday twice my salary to pick up tickets for the London shows, spent a fortune on train, hotels to get from Paris to London. I dont regret it. We will not regret. That's what passion is all about. We are fuckin teenagers, fuckin outsiders and this goddamned music is the perfect expression of what we feel in the inside. Why is this man the vector ? Why is this man the voice, soul and brain which has been able to say and sing those words then we will never know. Have a good friday. I get my september 17 and 18 as well. There is a place in our brains to store those memories and i guess we can look at it with pride and great pleasure when we are old.

Will someone PLEEEEEZE get backstage and get us some juicy info? I tried back in, well it was a while ago(92) and he said he was too tired to see anyone.I still have the passes. I went home and cried for a week!!!!Hope everyone has a blast, you lucky bastards.

Anyone know what hotel Moz usually stays when visting the Valley? Guesses... Hyatt downtown, Ritz Carlton, Camelback Inn Resort, or maybe a Scottsdale hotel (too many to name).

I can't believe it all starts this weekend!

a sense of anxiety overwhelms me - with all the talk of cancellations i won't rest assured til i see him on stage for myself. see you in yuma and vegas!

i think part of the reason why we are all so excited is that, in two days time, we hope to hear the first new morrissey songs in 5 years! lordy!

Who said Morrissey would be playing any new songs?

My guess is that someone in the Morrissey residence told him he's been in the house too long.

AS soon as the concert is over tomorrow night, PLEASE come on here people and tell us the set list PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

Here's a very good article that was in a local Phoenix paper... but vicious vegetarian??... that's hilarious.

I'll see you all that will be at the show tonight! I wish everyone was here!
   
Viva Moz!

I just got off work at 6AM (about 2 hours ago) and drove by the Celebrity Theatre and there are people already lining up! Since I don't have a 'first fans' ticket, I think I'll wait until this afternoon. Besides, the weather today will be, whatelse, SUNNY and about 109 degrees! Cheers to those already there!

Not to take someone else's scoop and make it my own, this was from the "Diary" section on Morrisseytour.com. I rarely read their diaries and didn't know who else would, so here's basically the important stuff regarding possible songs they may play tonight and beyond.

"Last week I talked to Boz Boorer at the Underground. At first I didn't recognize him. Maybe it was his uhh, relaxed appearance, or maybe it was because I was awfully jetlagged and buzzing on a grasshopper. Boz was jolly and voluble as usual. According to my foggy-jetlagged-impaired-inebriated memory "I Want the One I Can't Have" (or was it "Still Ill"?) was played and Boz mentioned that it was one of the songs they were practicing. He said they were practicing NEW songs and old songs, Smiffs songs and songs th'Lads hadn't played in years.

He had been practicing with Dean Butterworth only for six weeks. He has no idea what the vocals sound like on the new songs; he just plays the instrumentals. I guess Morrissey just practices by himself in the shower! Hah hah! Alain and Gary were supposed to arrive in Los Angeles on Saturday, the 3rd."
That was from "Mel".

NIPP told the owners at Rialto nothing about the show by last week except times to expect the bands to play. 8-8:15 for opener and 9-9:15 for headliner with the show to be over around 10:15-10:30 at the latest. This is all tentative, so don't hold my feet to the coals if other circumstances change these times. I'm hoping they will play longer, but, as everyone knows, past experience point to no. I'm assuming that this will hold true to tonight's show as well.
  It is not only going to be 100something today, but there's humidity on top of that! Good luck with all that.
