Translation...sort of :D (Score:2, Informative)
I's not wrong to be arrogant, as long as you are arrogant with style...just look at Morrissey!

Wearing a black suit, with an enormous portrait of Oscar Wilde hanging in the background, Morrissey invited the øya-audience to a night with music, poetry and electrocuted band members.

Even though the man is close to 50, he shows no signs of softness. He still has the sour humour and the sharp comments, just like whwn he greets the soaking audience with a big smile, ensuring them that it will be raining again soon.

A concert with Morrissey is just as entertaining between the songs as it is when he performs the songs with his beautiful voice. You can't do anything but love the man - he's not only one of pop's most articulated men, he's also one of the most well-dressed. His shirt which he wore when arriving on stage was soon thrown to the audience and replaced with a surely even more expensive (Italian) designer shirt.

Morrissey has a great back-catalogue, but he is confident enough to spend much of the time onstage performing material from his latest record, "Ringleader of the Tormentors".

Songs like "In the future when all's well", "I will see you in far off places" and "The youngest was the most loved", are all very well received by the audience. The funny B-side "Don't make fun of daddy's voice" was also played yesterday.

But even though Morrissey is experiencing a renaissance with his new record, the old Smiths songs still receive the most enthusiasm, like "How soon is now?", the evening's finest moment.

5 of 6 stars
