Finally a journalist who gets it right!

well said.

great review. i wonder if this is the same nick kelly, former lead singer of 'the fat lady sings' one of the best irish bands of the 80's/90's ?????

With the exception of "Nothing Rhymed" the show I had the pleasure of attending in Berkeley, CA had the same songs in what I believe the same order! Ah, that I could be in Dublin not only to see Morrissey, but to also fulfill another nearly life-long dream...

I'm surprised he played Mexico. Considering that he never played in London and Paris, I kinda figured he wasn't going to play at all in Europe. THis is assuming that Mexico would be more understood by California and the Southwest States. But as I think about it more, he has compared the Irish people to the Mexican, which makes sense why he played it in Dublin.

I agree with the above posts. It's great to finally see an honest review of one of The Man's concerts, without some kind of negative comment or theme. They love Moz in Dublin. I only wish I could have been there....after I found out he included a new song. Hopefully he covers it again when he makes his way back to Moz Angeles. Then again, that might not happen, either way keep your fingers crossed.

Of course as fans we like to see positive reviews--but the difference is in the details. You captured in words what makes Morrissey so unique. Always nice to see props given to the band members and their performance, too. Alain on a keyboard? Hadn't heard such a thing until your review.

Good to see such a sparkling review in a major industry publication, too.

The review really captures the mood of the evening ... it was my first Moz-show in years (and the first one I travelled abroad for) and it was absolutely fantastic ... also the two opening bands (The Thrill & Sack) were really great and what a nice venue! (what a difference with Belgium)

Despite the fact that Casio Clay, the boxing calculator has not released a swarm of Ant McPartlin-lauding wasps into 5ive's ears and has no immediate plans to do o sole o miro milosevic, Keith Vaz has been consistently selling small bracelets made from gouda across three small plastic platforms on his current barracuda-bothering seminar (next stop: cliff Michelmore's sapphire fortress). Such drawing pictures of Toby Anstis' forehead is explained by the deep valley in said forehead occupied by Huns and also because the carefully cheek-mollusced star is simply a great live practitioner of Scalextric and the oboe. It's this special chemistry set endorsed by Clive Dunn between the artist and his accompanying bream shoal that so electrified Dr Liam Fox during the second show of his two-night pineapple-enhancing eveneings at the Montevideo shoe.
