If that's the case, then it's probably the same songs we've already heard and nothing new....

I am still here, waiting...

Nothing new.As usual. It's only music business.
It's all for chiding us, who want our musical hero out with a new album.

Another live/compilation album!
That's just what we need, innit!?

Disgruntled John, London (England).

There should be one

Insteadt of releasing a(nother) full Live-Album, why not releasing the Janice Long Sessions officially? Later we can compare the versions to the 'new' ones supposed to be recorded right now...

Who HASN'T already got a copy of the live shows, on Cd AND DVD?

This really is a pointless mission, IMHO.

Could do better, Steven. Go to the dunce corner. And don't come out until I say you can. And take your hands out of your pockets, I know what you're doing.

Hi Morrissey here. Buy this CD or I wont let you kiss my arse (if you get the chance you little buggers!).

As ever, how pathetic...it's only a rumour, plus nobody forces you to buy anything you don't want to.
You'll get the studio album very soon, seems you people moan about anything, time will tell.

For the world beyond this website Morrissey hasn't been on the radar in ages. If the live disc gets released, all the press packs and reviews will begin, "In anticipation of Morrissey's first studio album in (X) years..." This spark would ignite the underbrush, creating a spectacle to draw attention to the studio LP.

This is so pathetic and demented, but I would love to have a live CD released for Moz didn't tour east of the Mississippi the last time around in the States. And, I guess, this is as close as we will get to a live show for all of us neglected Good Ol' Boys in the South with our Confederate Flags on our pick-up trucks. And in case your wandering, the American Southeast is truly the Manchester of the United States for all you Brits who may not know.

Bye Y'all, oh, and Cheers!

I voraciously devour anything from Morrissey. Were he only to cast a glance my way during the next concert, my life would be complete.

Yes, I'm pathetic. But I'm happy.

If this rumour is true, the album involved would have an absolutely brilliant tracklist.

You just have to wonder why it's taken so long to come out, surely a few months back when the hype from the tour was still in full swing would have been a better bet, perhaps they've been "tidying it up".

...with the [past] rumor of a live DVD to be released in the near future, and this new live LP, along with that "new" album, I am assure that we will get our share of Steven M. in the upcoming year.

Let's just hope that he doesn't do what the Beatles did and just release studio albums and stop playing live concerts with the exception of the roof atop of Abbey Road...

"speaking words or wisdom, let it be..."

Wouldn't it be great if it had the ultra-rare Morrissey covers of;

West End Girls (Pet Shop Boys)
Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode)
Debaser (Pixies)
I'm So Sexy (Right Said Fred)
I'm a Loser (Beck)
Take on Me (Aha)
Without Me (Eminem)

are you sure that its not the DVD that was rumored way back in the old days after the tour had taken place?

i think it's misguided information that some bootlegger came up with. it doesn't make sense for moz to release a live album now.

I have a bootleg of one of the Albert Hall concerts, and if they are thinking of releasing a live recording (CD or DVD) of these shows, then the in-between-song banter alone is worth it! He seemed to have been in a very good mood for these concerts, and it shows in his on-stage demeanor and his discussions with the crowd. Marvellous!

its a dvd.

perfunctionary radish

We were told this time last year that there would 'definetely' be a live DVD and well, a year on...

Wake me up when the new studio album arrives.

If Sanctuary feel the need to buy Morrissey some more time in the studio, why not release one of the completed (if any tracks are completed) tracks as a single. That would keep me happy until Christmas 2004! (probably)

this is a pro-shot DVD release intercutting the best tracks of the nights at the RAH, and it's as good as "Introducing Morrissey", then great. If it's just a CD - pass, unless there are at least a couple studio versions of the new (meaning old new) tracks on there.

Its fine with me. I would love to have a live CD. Yes, the same songs I've heard over and over. I listen to the recording I downloaded from this site all the time.

I saw David Bowie last night at the MEN Arena.

Look at me everyone, watch me wiggle my hips just like at practice. I'm kicking it. I know everything. Including private details of a completely recycled album due out soon. I know this because I'm inside the BBC and everyone inside here knows everything!!

What a great idea. It'd be nice to have a good quality version of one of the Royal Albert Hall shows. Will make a nice appetizer before the full course album is served. I've already got my bib on.

Who cares about a live album? What is going on with the holiday NEW single Swingtime Christmas?

As long as it's Morrissey.

I'm not a fan of live albums. I only buy them for the between-song chats with the audience, because to be honest, the rest of it doesn't sound as good as the studio version, and it just isn't as special unless you saw the concert for yourself.
But I do so love Morrissey:
"I hope the security don't ruin your night too much, but I'm sure they'll try their best. Nevermind...they're out-numbered."

with the dvd out at the same time crammed full of extra's like Elton John's xmas stocking....

Whats wrong with all you moaning minies out there...In the imortale words of William"The shat"Shatner...GET A LIFE...

at the end of the day it's a Morrissey CD/DVD which is a recording of an excellent show (and let's not forget featuring his latest airing of TIALTNGO and IWTOICH), and you know and I know that we'll all buy it!! It is Morrissey after all...plus they'll no doubt shove a few extra's in to entice.

Last year I spoke with the guys
at Sanctuary Vision who were
preparing a dvd package containing
the full paris gig from september 2002.
It's the only one that was filmed professionnaly.

well,what do i have to do.....:-/

I just got one thing to say....What cha gonna do brother when the 24" pythons & hulkamania runs wild on you".
If you want a good dvd...Hollywood Hulk Hogan is the one i would recommend.

I keep reading about all of these complaints...Beethoven was deaf was his first live cd...1992 and wicked. Wanna listen, give me a buzz...

if the live album is up to par with 'beethoven' then i'll be glad to see it, but if its another 'rank' i'll hav wished it never happened [like'rank'].

No-one really wants a live album. Obviously most of us will buy it, but come on, it's about time for a studio album. How on earth can Morrissey justify a seven year gap between albums (and that's assuming something does get released early next year!) and still call himself a recording artist?! God - seven years! Is his next album after this one going to come out in 2011!? It's a shame Morrissey doesn't put himself about a bit more. Obviously he thinks its undignified and vulgar to appear on tv and in magazines and release frequent material but how else are people going to appreciate his wonderful talent if he doesn't.

Why would ye not want a live album??? Moz is terrific live, my god last year's gig in a packed Brixton Academy was the highlight of my year, the man's a fucking genius, that voice live is the sweetest thing. Poo to you miserable lot!

Come on, it's been a week since we had this lot. He's actually recording a new album. There must be someone at Hook End willing to leak the names of some song titles at the very least!

This is amazing news. What a great chance this will be to see one of Morrissey's great concerts at a great location. I am so happy about this news but for my own selfish benefit, I really would like to see the DVD format being pressed so that all disk capacity is utilised ie. more video and more stills but the chance/possibility of seeing some part of the RAH shows would be splendid.

RAH ? - Well not just because the event was held at such an amazing venue, and not because Morrissey sold out the RAH with little (arguably NO) promotion at all, but for the fact that Morrissey came to London - at a time when he just had absolutely everything to lose - and just blew everyone in the music world away.

In Paris, and on the last tour more widely, his new songs were just amazing. His old songs were amazing but let's not go there again. His band - much attacked in some quarters - were just amazing. I have to hand it to Sanctuary..plenty of people here have commented on the availability of concerts and have been trying to get them more available to all - well, this is just great news for all Morrissey fans just as we end 2003. It will also give a welcome Christmas break to those at Mrs Shankly's Internet site ! (Ed: Do they ever have a holiday?)

And, after that roll on the next album...and then (hopefully) some more tantilising UK nights in Bradford, Birmingham, Nottingham, Sheffield City Hall, Bristol, London, Edinburgh, Manchester 2004...and more........(more Copenhagen would also be nice - those MP3s were just great)

Morrissey is in the english countryside right now recording a new album. I know the guy producing it. I'm so excited!!

... of any of The Smiths songs being in the track listing?
