      I know it's a cover, but it's too bad "A Song From Under The Floorboards" isn't on this...I love the Moz version of that. Luckily, I already have it, but not much else...I'm glad I didn't buy every single single now.

      L.A. show is a great idea (hey, it's Moz Angeles!), but maybe, Morrissey, you could come up here to the Bay Area as well? Make up for the show you cancelled in Oakland last April? You know, that one night where you later were spotted in S.F. watching Kristeen Young perform?

                    I will buy the album, tho I already have most of the songs....I don't have any of the previously vinly-only b-sides, and I am also missing Christian Dior and Sweetie Pie (tho the latter is not much of a song). But I do wish that they had included some previously unreleased songs (if they exist), e.g., "Home is a Question Mark" or "I'm Looking Forward to Going Back," which were named as possible song titles a while back, but never actually materialized. That would make this a much more valuable collection. Oh well.

                      Staples center...?

                      Morrissey just barely filed up the Hollywood bowl in 2007, what makes everyone think that he would be able to surpass that at the Staples center?

                      Why would he even think of choosing that as a venue? A more intimate venue is much better. A few nights at the Nokia theater suits him much better.

                      Staples is for much more over the top, obnoxious acts.

                      Doesnt Morrissey have more class then that?

                      He could return to the newly remodeld Hollywood Paladium, but not for 10 shows. That was really stupid of him to book all of that.

                      The Gibson theater. Very similar to the previously mentioned Nokia, but slightly smaller.

                      Kodak Theater? I heard that the acoustics are horrible, but it would be something different.

                      I've never been there, but I have always been intriged by the Ford theater. I think of it as the Hollywood Bowls baby brother.

                      The Greek Theater. Just next door to the Griffith park observatory.

                      Or an old favorite, The Wiltern.

                      I dont know of any onther venues. Anyone else want to add?

                            I too am dissapointed that "Playing Easy To Get" is not included in this compilation. I recorded this song and the entire Janice Long program that featured it onto good old fashioned tape. Unfortunately a couple months after this I taped over it with some Morcheeba songs. I haven't heard the song since. It's a fantastic song!! I also agree that "A Song From Under The Floorboards" should also be included. The musicianship on this song is awesome! Also missing is "I Am Two People" and "Mexico." I love driving around downtown and blasting "Mexico" out of my car and seeing the shocked looks on people's faces. And for the record "Swords" is the worst album title since Elton John's "Caribou"(1974). Although "Caribou" is an underrated album with several wonderful songs!

                                    Staples Center would certainly be a an interesting choice, though as mentioned else where it will not be on the 12th due to a hockey game.

                                    If it truly is one concert, it will need to be in a big venue. He could certainly fill the staples center - though I think that would be an odd choice.

                                    I bet there will be more than 1 show, though. Why go through the trouble of hiring a crew for one show? If it IS the staples show he'll announce that first and then all-of-a-sudden LV, SD, SF, etc.. will start showing up on Ticketmaster, as always.

                                      Nokia Theatre is a great new venue. Moz would have no problem selling out a couple of nights there. It's roughly the size of Universal Amphitheatre. Or if Moz prefers a more intimate venue, Club Nokia (different venue, but in the same complex) would be a good choice too. It can accomodate about 2,300 people. Maybe he could play 3-4 nights there. Just a thought.
