house was two thirds full, the seated sections were nicely obscured, crowd was more a murmur than anything else, texting throughout the new songs.

LIAR I was there you were not

Home from, without doubt, one of the best gigs I've been to. Morrissey and Birmingham - brilliant.

 

[Surface]

Shared the lift in the Crowne Plaza with a lovely lady. Had a great chat turned out she was Julia who is involved with TTY.

 

[Famous when dead]

Agree with Surface.... The troll knows nothing.
The place was rammed. It was nice explaining to the person next to me that Buffy was 74. They muttered a few remarks, but I did remind them that anything would be better than K. Young wailing!
What struck me as an 'old school' fan was how many young people were there and singing before and after the gig WPINOYB tracks.... I don't know if it's an age thing, but they were responding to the 'new stuff' like I did when Peel played Smiths stuff and tbf that's great..
My battery is trying its best to revive. It was nice to see so many nice people make the effort.
Kind regards,
FWD

why get defensive about what an anon has to say, what is of importance is that you enjoyed the show, singing along with the new songs. venue 2/3 full should be of no concern, but moz and his performance only.

Eh? No defence mechanisms here. Just support for someone saying the gig was full. I'm a lucid, grown adult and I saw with my own eyes a full Barclay Card Arena and I don't need to be told otherwise by 'anonymous' people.

Holy smokes that's so good!

 

[I Like You]

This gig would have been perfect had it not been for some of the c*nts in the crowd. I was literally on about the seventh row back and told to 'be quiet' when I started chanting "Morrissey Morrissey" pre gig. WTF? Who are these pricks?

according to surface and his mate, they are a figment of your imagination.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

What a show. Was joined on stage by Zayne and Jeremy Clarkson.

That's funny about Clarkson

I heard the BBC has asked Morrissey to replace Clarkson.

The show would be renamed The Top Gearbox

Managed to get a piece of his shirt at the end. It was a bit of a fight though! That's two pieces of his shirt I have now...

How many bits of Morrissey's shirt do you guys have? I wonder what the record is?

I don't know about bits of shirt but a friend of mine has an entire Morrissey shirt intact.
