Clearwater, FL (Oct. 31), Atlanta, GA (Oct. 29, on sale Fri.) booked, more tour rumors
posted by davidt on Tuesday August 22 2000, @08:00AM

 Mark Migliore writes:

Yesterday I received a phone call from a friend whose sister works for an entertainment organization in Florida. In short he said Morrissey would be playing a show near Clearwater, Florida on October 31st. This is NOT a rumor the show has definitely been booked. I don't know if it's been officially announced yet or if tickets are on sale. I highly doubt Morrissey would do a one off show only in Florida - Does anyone have other information about possible dates and venues?

UPDATE 8/22, 10:40am PDT: From Stan and also ladronic from the comments section, details for Clearwater and Atlanta are at Ticketmaster.com:

I also received a rumor of an Athens, Georgia date on Oct. 30.

Silent Grey to open for Morrissey?
I was in Rosaritto Mx, and some guy knew I was a Moz fan and told me his band Silent Grey will open for him in LA. Another guy who was there said he had lunch at Morrissey's house in LA. The guy said he was the drummer for Silent Grey - I didn't get a name.

    Well, this sounds like a plausible rumor since Silent Grey opened up for Gene at one of the LA Troubador shows in June. They were actually quite good.

                          Is anyone going to see Silent Gray at the show with Louder than Bombs and People are People. I'm going (if this gig is actually factual)...and if i see the lads from Silent Gray maybe they might bring some light to any Morrissey shows in Los Angeles.

Then the singer of Silent Grey got on the stage while SATH was playing and starting singing in the backup mic while Jose was singing in the lead mic. And then Jose tried to get the mic away from him and the guy walked off the stage with it, still singing!
                                        Or was this a different guy???
