That TIALTNGO is juat a video. Thank goodness.

"80's Punk Star Morrissey"? Was he really an 80's Punk star? Do you think The Smiths was PUNK? If Morrissey & The Smiths were punk then New Order must have been Hardcore Punk! And the very non-descript review of the DVD. Gay press is much better with their writings about BArbara Streisand and Kylie albums than trying to review Morrissey.

...seems to be really good. Takes a bit of tackling and negotiating to pack in such a cooperation, I guess.

It's strange how one can feel sadness (memories of seeing the concert) and happiness (seeing the concert) at the same time. I guess it's just one advantage of being a Morrissey fan, he brings out the extreme emotion in all of us, I know no other artist who can do that. Moz, I look foward to seeing you live again!

...of the record company to put up this free listening of the album?

I for one am disappointed in it.
The music is great but the "assemblage" of the album is very poor I think, if what is being offered on the free play is every bit of what the purchased disc will be.
Dialog after songs is cut off in mid sentence.
Dialog which should be an intro to one track is actually the outro of the previous track.
Very poor editing I think.
I, for one, will not purchase this CD if that is the quality that is being put out, and I have every Morrissey album and single that have been put out. Not every incarnation of each, but his complete works, so it's not like I am not a fan of his.
I think this is a bad representation of his work.
I think that some of the "unofficial" bootlegs are better than this official release.

Wow! I've been a Moz addict since -87 bit I have to say - this man can really sing! That voice!!! That voice!

everytime i hear a live version of that song i get the fucking chills. i can't help but tear up and remember what it was like to hear that song played live, and recall how the smiths saved my life. i love morrissey so much and nothing he does has seemed to disappoint me. i can't see how anything could.

Can anyone identify any of the recordings that weren't made at the Earl's Court show? I don't have recordings of the final five UK shows, so I have nothing to compare....

Does anybody know who that is playing guitar on the video? It's not Jesse, but it's some young guy who looks a bit like Johhny Marr (am I stretching?) He's kind of shaggy like him, or like Liam Gallagher or somebody... Anyone know his name?

This Concert Sounds Incredible...The talking bits between the songs are probably the one thing they left imperfect to encourage the fans to buy the CD despite hearing it all here. I don't think I'll buy it now, I just spent 2 hours tranferring the songs to MP3's and they sound great. Can't wait for the DVD of the concert which, yes, has also been on my computer for two months or so. I LOVE computers... Used to hate 'em... I was scared of the future I guess... Tomorrow when I'm home alone, I look forward to playing this concert VERY loud !!! Thank you for this particular Big Big mistake Quicktime & Sanctuary !

I think you're are Samurai Moz.
I have just listened then I understand
your work is to plow the mind.
You are incredible.

... here is one dictionary definition:

"A form of hard-driving rock 'n' roll originating in the 1970s, characterized by harsh lyrics attacking conventional society and popular culture, and often expressing alienation and anger"

so going on that... moz could kinda sorta be defined as punk, at least from the alienation and anger standpoint. personally, as a teenage smiths fan in the 80's, i never considered the smiths or myself punk. the punks at my school were listening to bands like black flag, circle jerks and dead kennedys. we were considered to be the new wave kids. i will say that back in the 80's we seemed to get along much better with each other than kids do today. everything wasn't quite as "exclusive" as it seems today (fuck i sound old!). the only social group we could all agree to hate were the filthy fucking skin heads. so, is moz punk? probably not, at least from my perspective. but hey, that's only one mans opinion...

A story about the streaming of an ENTIRE new moz album = 33 comments. A story about some b-list actress being into moz = 211 comments. Christ.

But Chloe doesn't understand him !!! Just Joking, yeah, I'm starting to wonder if I still like Morrissey after seeing some of the people who are into it. I'd hate to meet alot of them in a pub. I'm glad I meet no-one in my real life who's into it or there may be an all-male cat fight !

this album sounds like poopy

BWD is far far superior

his voice is almost annoying here and i love his voice....o well even moz is capable of crapola

beethoven was deaf sounds so intimate and just brilliant. earl's sourt sounds like you're in the back of the venue straining to hear.

Does anyone else think his singing sounds too forced on the concert cd?

He sounds more self-assured in his talent as a singer than he's ever been but he seems to force his vocal and lose intimacy with what he's singing. Having said that he sounds brilliant on the patty smith cover and some songs off YATQ, possibly cos he's not tired of singing them to death

UK Sky B4 music channel. It looks and sounds very good.

Can anyone explain why she is being accused of 'jumping on the bandwagon'?

...and I'm a little bit disappointed that the crowd noise has been virtually erased. That's the point of having a live CD, surely? I feel quite insulted, having been there! ;-)
Not really, but it does seem so heavily mixed that it might as well be a studio recording. You can't fault Mozzer's singing but where't the atmosphere?!
(love the video from the MEN though, very emotional- that's what it's all about)
