i love a live video release. perfect driving song for leaving your hometown for good. goodbye.

This video would have been better with ChocoCat in it.

Oh come on, Moz! Make a proper video!

well at least you can say it was an improvement over the last one

im still having nightmares that a whitefaced wrinkly morrissey sneaks up behind me with pugs running about

I know it looks more polished for an official video, disappointing all the same, but I think the Kimmel performance sounded much better.

Why the complaining, it is a video of Morrissey playing live at the BBC Radio 2 concert in London to kick off this tour. Probably the best quality video, so far, most of you have seen of this concert.
Morrissey on stage when he is at his most comfortable and yet you want to see him in a video when he is not.

He seems like he's straing through these songs.

The video is ok. Looks like they taped one of those BBC radio concerts he likes to do. You can tell he sounds sick. Looks terrific, as usual.

The energy of this video is way too sedate. Personally, I prefer the videos where they tape Moz at an actual concert singing while his fans go batshit and get their asses kicked by security.

That, to me is a true Morrissey experience as well as great entertainment.

Great song, btw.

I can't stand videos. I'm glad it's live.

...I miss Matt´s jump over the drum kit!

That being said and done, that this particular single, song is one of my twelve favorites out of all, all the songs on YOR… I’d like to say it like it is.

The funniest lines – Yor being watched. Too cute. I think, I think I’d have said yor all being tracked and traced. Haaaa. Just kidding. Just kidding. So am I. And I am. I can, I must, I will … I do.
Seriously, no, yes … Yes. And I’m being totally serious. I notice his voice sounds different on this video, different in a good way. Even more on key, more soothing, more powerful, relaxing, more … well … more perfect than on #1 YOR. I didn’t think he could beat the cake from how it sounds on YOR, but, here we go … another lovely surprise. It did. I listen to this song, pill popping song Haaa, yes, like seven, five, six … times a day. No, “more”. Dial a cliché. And I figured this out, yep … it’s true.

Now, regarding beating the cake on tour. Well, I can’t notice, because, there – he continues to cast a spell on me. And I don’t bring in recorders, I don’t have recordings. I don’t record him when I see him in person. Sooo when yor there with him at the concerts, you can’t concentrate, focus like you can … Right here, Right now … on the floor. Ya know? *snaps*
My analysis – I want him. I want him. I acknowledge that he is touring soon in a different direction than me now. Right now. Far off pla a a a ces. I hate that. You have no idea. Cause, I can’t go.

I hope you all have a great time, to the “good” people … the ones that are following him in his direction for the upcoming ones.
I want him “more”. But I can’t go. Wait, wait … like that’s gonna stop me. That’s not going to stop me. Nothing stops me. Get it…
I need a plan. There is a way with the end result, the love … I am now giving to you … Right here, Right now, on the floor.
Oh yes, and we – we won. *snaps*
I Love you Morrissey Sooooo Much…

Morrissey sounds great on this video, he also looks quite dashing. Did i say dashing, i meant absolutely beautiful, and of course sexy, he's got a lovely solid body, i love him and i can't wait to see him in Manchester. I need to touch him, just the tips of his beautiful fingers will be enough.

They must have filmed this at the Austin show lol. The crowd was dead! JK....

When you consistently mail-in performances like the one that was filmed above, I would expect many audiences to appear "dead."

It doesn't matter how you feel about videos. The debate is over. They're here to stay, and have been for quite some time. By the way, the Earth is round.

Look, if you are going to release a product that has your name, and image attached to it, then for Christ's sake, at least pretend to care.

Ultimately, this video seems like yet another obligatory promo shot of Morrissey sleep walking through the entire process. The vocals are terrible, and Morrissey, as so often happens, appears bored. How anyone could deem this release better than the album version is beyond me.

Morrissey simply isn't remarkable anymore. He does the bare minimum. Personally, I don't think his recent efforts justify his generous allowance.

is it me, or has he had work done on his hairline?
hairplugs?
propecia?
any guesses?
but before you call sacrilege, look at his hairline in photos circa 94ish.

i rest my case, your honor.

Odd choice for a single.

It's like some comedian tried to write a fake Morrissey song: "I know, i'll write about anti-depressants. It will be so funny!"

I would have preferred Black Cloud as a single.

big fucking surprise.
Go watch Oye Esteban Mr Morrissey and see how your videos used to capture something about the song. Now this is just a bit of footage of you playing the song. Wow, big deal.

This guy is getting lazier and lazier by the fucking second.

... Blah.
Nothing at all special in this one. There are regular, plain live versions on video that are better than this.
Seriously ungiffable :P

The album version was one of the best tracks in ages, I was made up when I heard it'd be the new single. And so they go and balls it up by putting this out in its place. Inferior, unfortunately. By the way, what's with me not being able to use caps in my headline? "WTF" should be in caps, it's an abbreviation! WTF?!

The video is good enough, it's not as if a big production video would have got any more exposure than this cheap live video. I like the song but I don't love it. Actually by the end it does sound very loud - too much going on it there. It's a bit like a crash by the time the last 10 seconds rolls around.

I too would have rather had Black Cloud as a the single. Maybe if there is a 3rd there might be a much nicer video that more matches the song. I wonder too if maybe there is just NO budget for music videos from his current label?

about this video or any other, I'm so in love with Jesse Tobias and I'm just happy to see him in this or any other video. I love you Toby.

I love a man who is not afraid to wear a pastel colored shirt.

Is this for real?

Are there rules?
I may not qualify.

Here we go:

I don't post "fuck" every 2 seconds.

I think the one band member (the "womanizer") (?) glanced at me at a concert recently and did so while playing with his...

guitar.

But, I didn't get offended.
Will it be ok?

I actually almost believe that the man canceled his show because he was not in good voice.
Does this work? Or shall I make up a bunch of stuff to fit in with the rest of the positive vibe on here?

Good times.

 

and with this live video it's what you get

This is off subject, but did Morrissey and Gary Day part ways in an unfriendly manner.

I miss him. He looked so good in the Irish Blood, English Heart video. Then he just disappeared. He was my favorite in the band. I've seen Moz twice and it was after Gary had gone :(

This has to be the laziest Moz release of all time. No new B sides, 3 formats and no video....FFS!
