Just Got Back ! Fan-tastic ! (Score:3, Informative)
Only been to Blackpool and here @ Preston this tour, and if anything Preston was slightly better - superb atmosphere - thanks to all the crowd who made such a memorable night !
Moz was of course on top form (and in an apparently very good mood) even if the setlist for me wasn't quite as good as Blackpool (no Jack The Ripper). The sound quality of the kit was much clearer here too - plenty subtlety in the instrumentation (and even the List) that was lost at Blackpool. There is a light was the 'quick to end' version.
Couple of stage invasions & hugs, and a complete psycho hanging from the balcony !
"Last time I was here was 31 years ago ... my god ... I was only 4 ... you're all too young to remember, and I'm too old to forget ..."
"Julia's out the back making the sandwiches"
"Blackpool ... what's wrong with Blackpool ...?"
"you've come from where ? ... Malta ? and you didn't even get a bloody nose ! It's a miracle"
"Ken ... are you alright ... ?"
"Happy birthday Jackie"
Thanks to Moz and the boys; hey - even my wife enjoyed it !

What a return! (Score:0, Offtopic)
The lugubrious buffoon managed to slip out of the Guildhall and ran into Tokyo Jo's, but the bandits saw him and soon followed him. They ran through the top section of Tokes before cahsing him down in to the big bottom section, fionally conereing him in the little food service room. However, Carl threw a piece of chesse & tomato pizza at them and made his escape.
Running down Avenham Lane, Carl was then accosted by a group of laffin' laters. He was tarpped between them and the bandits, but managed to make his way across the carpark and came out by Waterstone's.
Running down into Friargate, he made his way to the haven of The Adlephi, but changed direction at the last minute and ran to Roeburn Hall, his previous home.
Just as he got to the forecourt, he went down in a hail of bullets from the mexicans, the first of which caught him in the nose.
What a sad end to a debacle of a life.

This was the highlight of the show. Please, please, please let him play with Moz at one show.

"You know who you are, and I know who I am".
I think I also caught,
"Thankyou for your support, it isn't taken for granted",
but there was a tear in my eye (and in my ear) because I felt so proud of him.
His caustic wit,
"I said this in Blackpool, but try not to kill anyone on your way home. If you do have to kill someone on the way home, please, be selective",
and caring heart,
"May God, or someone who knows him, always be with you", just shows what this time really means to him.
Turned out nice. :)

Seems sad that it's over for a while just as he is obviously giving 130% and climbing.
Put my foot in it last night at the hotel afterwards though. Drinking in the bar with a few fans and I said "what's all this Julia thing about then?" at which point I was told Julia was sat at the table with us! I don't think she was very happy but I didn't mean anything, just curious what it was all about. If you read this J I am sorry if I offended you, not that kind of person and I have better things to do than slag people of on here like some do. Nice to meet you and your friends, you all made the post tour blues easier to handle. Thank you. You would think that people with a common love of Morrissey would cherish that love and admiration not slag it off.
Got to Preston station and saw copy of the Lancashire post with half of the front page pic of Moz on stage and whole of 3rd page article. "SEPTEMBER SPAWNED A MONSTER GIG. ANTI HERO MORRISSEY RETURNS TO THE GUILD HALL IN TRIUMPH". You would think though that they'd get the name of the single right "Let me Snog You"! They obviously didn't get the humour and didn't do the research.
Got The album on now and in such a good mood and sad its over for a while at the same time. Moz was in such a good humerous mood last night. I expect he'll be glad to be getting home for a bit.
I've been to loads of gigs by loads of bands and none of them match up to Moz. He sings from the heart and his words speak to straight to my heart.
It will be a night I most definitely will not forget.
"Are you trying to make me happy because it's a miracle, you've succeeded". If you were here in front of me know Moz I would say the same thing back to you. Thank you!
Long live....and more of the same please...you are the best!
Off to check out New York options!
And thanks to all the crowd who made the atmosphere electric.
Quick hello to Dickie and Ian. Nice meeting you. See you soon.

One loser who kept shouting the tedious 'play some Smiths songs' was ravaged by mozzer who said ' Play some smiths songs? very imaginative- shall i play somes beatles as well? or some Stones' (shake of the head)
Venue was an eyesore but very intimate and Moz seemed genuinely moved by some of the crowd reaction- it seems to me he looks even more touched when there is a great response to a song from his solo career- he looked really pleased when everyone went crazy to FOTGTD.
Moz said he'd been to the venue 30 years previous to see Roxy Music- when they were still worth seeing. and also asked had anyone seen the smiths play in preston many years ago - ' a night to forget!'
Great night and a fitting end to the UK stint of the tour. Thanks Mozzer!

I'm a bit slow....... (Score:1)
Only just discovered this forum, for a start.
Well...... this was the first time I'd seen Morrissey live since The Smiths split! Why did I wait so long? Well, actually it was something to do with not being sure what he'd be like solo - and I never really recovered from that prejudice.
I was still a big fan, with plenty of records to listen to..... but then he disappeared off to LA and I'd missed my chance.
I loved YATQ though and considered going to the MEN Arena - but I hate those big venues. I thought Moz was only doing a few festivals - me being a bit slow.
How did I miss the fact that he was touring???
Suddenly discovered that he was playing Brid. Couldn't believe it. It's where I'm originally from but the gig was the night before!!!!!!!!!
Looked for venues closer to me....Preston had tickets left (2 days beforehand,really!) and suddenly I was going to a Morrissey gig.
What can I say? All the emotion and passion I remember from The Smiths days and a better singing voice (LOL). The atmosphere was superb. Incidentally, I think the mix of Moz/Smiths songs is a good thing - after all, they're his songs.
I was in my twenties when The Smiths were at their peak..... so that means I'm no youngster - but I felt like one tonight!!!
So, if anyone knows who that gorgeous young brunette was, dancing on the stairs (towards the rear right) who was shouting for Smiths songs (bless!) but had to leave before the encore, tell her I love her!!!

Gary Day visits Manchester (Score:0)
I went along and had a wonderful night with a perfect view. The Margi Clarke prelude went down a storm, particularly the 'scouse impersonators' and 'The Sun newspaper' lines.
The Royal Court was perfect for Moz in all its shabby splendour.
I sang myself completely hoarse.
After the gig Moz emerged from the stage door looking sheepish in a green velvet cap!
I spoke to Gary and thanked him for an awesome evening.
The night after I went to the Preston gig (my hometown).
The guild hall is beautiful inside, not an eyesore!
The sound was great and the venue operated a relaxed policy, which allowed you to sit or stand where you liked. I sampled both the mosh-pit and the seats. Lads are so fucking rough at the front! Bruised all over!
My hands are still raw from clapping.
Both gigs touched to me to the core. Moz is the only artist around whose perfect diction allows audiences to digest every word.
Thank you to Gary and the rest of the band for inspiring me.

Well Morrissey's concert in Preston is certainly an experience I will hardly ever forget. Simply incredible.
Just wanted to share this with all you other Morrissey fans. I am a new one but definitely here to stay.

that charming man (Score:0)
only the third time i've seen morrissey live - the last time was blackpool in 1995.
but he is still fabulous, charming, and coming from a straight guy - very handsome. i got on stage in 1995 but only got to shake his hand this time, not that i'm complaining.
i will carry on going to his concerts as long as i can, and won't here a bad word to say about him, "there are more than enough to fight and oppose".
