Morrissey's rare visit worth the trip - Chicago Sun-Times

November 22, 2006
BY JIM DeROGATIS Pop Music Critic

From the promoters to the legions of faithful, gladiola-bearing fans, no one was quite sure why Morrissey was playing his only U.S. show this fall at a sold-out Aragon Ballroom on Tuesday night.

Gary?!? (Score:1)

One rumor held that the brief defection of his bass player derailed other U.S. gigs until next spring.

What is this line all about?

this guy's a hack (Score:0)

Hate to bash a good review, but he's never liked Morrissey, or the Smiths and has not one original thing to say about them, not one insight. I was at the show and did not see one person holding a gladiola. And by the way, I Changed My Plea to Guilty is only a "Viva Hate" nugget if you live in Albania. Do your homework.

Is this a good review? (Score:0)

I really don't think this is that great of a review. 'Pigsty' and 'Dear God' were great live but you have to be a true fan to enjoy the songs. Also, Morrissey played Chicago because it's a bad-ass town. Chicago has always been good to Morrissey and the Smiths and Moz was just returning the gift- IMO. Great show, mate!

DeRogatis needs to do research before writing (Score:0)

An overall positive review. However, his slam of ROTT and the songs he performed from that album live was unjustified. Especially since one of the songs he cites as a highlight of the show, "a splendidly swirling and psychedelic 'I Will See You in Far-off Places'" is the opener on ROTT. That's just sloppy journalism.
