Auf Wiedersehen Pet? Must be a fan.

Never have I seen someone slag something off so much and give it 7/10. Typically though, he wants to slag off Morrissey, but has to admit its good. DOH! Just like New Order tried.

Whatever happened to the concept of a review been based on the merits of the item in question and untainted by personal disaffection (or affection)?

And are we to be so impressed by the reviewer's ability to be honest enough about his disliking that we forgive such slanted rhetoric?

And, after all this, why give it such a decent star rating?

Since when was Earl's Court in Manchester? I think I must have been at a different show, as I vaguely remember being in the M.E.N. Arena....

What a strange criticism to level against Morrissey. I don't think Quarry is great, but I wouldn't call it schmaltzy. And there's certainly nothing schmaltzy about truly brilliant solo songs like 'Jack The Ripper' and 'Nobody Loves Us'. Moreover, the best song on 'Maladjusted', 'Trouble Loves Me', is very much in the vein of an old showtune - and gorgeous it is too.

I think the reviewer was trying to say - well, it's 3 and a half out of five for fans, even though he himself doesn't like the music. Must agree with him that the Smiths covers are anaemic, 'Shoplifters' excepted. 'Imperfect List' and 'Jack The Ripper', however, send shivers down the spine.

Dare I say it, but this review is spot on!

I cannot think why Jamie O'Meara wrote this idiotic article on Morrissey, when they are not even a Morrissey supporter. Of course, biased journalists can fling around words like "campy" and the like, feeling justified in some way. I have the DVD and I thought it was wonderful. What difference does it make ( had to throw that in ) how tall the glowing red letters of Morrissey's name are, or that he actually, (oh no!) dared to sing a Sinatra song. Everyone there looked as if they were having an excellent time and that is what really matters- not the opinion of some has been reporter who doesn't even like Mozzer in the first place! Tsk Tsk! Let Morrissey do what he wants- he will anyway! :) Goodbye Jamie O'Meara fading into the land of Julie Burchill's...Your time is up.

I hate these guys that think because they have been a Fan for a long time, that some how makes them more eligible.....

New fans are just as important and more open minded, Morrissey as a solo artist is so convincing and neccessary that it makes me humble to be in the crowd...

And by the way I saw the Smiths 6 Times....

"gory PETA propaganda"

Very true. I could have done without that segment.

I am interested in his music, and nothing more. Oh, except his homosexuality, of course.
