MESSAGE FROM MORRISSEY.
The slapdash release of Morrissey live at the Hollywood Bowl is done by Warner without any consultation to me whatsoever, and is in breach of their terms as laid out by themselves in an agreement made for the film between Warner and my ex-manager. Being Warner, predictably the sleeve art is appalling. It is the work of cash-hounds, and I urge people NOT to buy it. I am not signed to Warner, and no royalties from this dvd will come to me. Please spend your money elsewhere.
thank you, MORRISSEY.

Let's but one copy, upload it, then disperse it on here. A way to stick it to them
I'm not buying. f*** Warner.
I seem to remember similar issues with "Live at Earl's Court." Wasn't he estranged from his label then, and unable or unwilling to promote that album?
There's always some sort of drama surrounding these live releases - either he has phenomenally bad luck, or someone is always trying to do him in, or he gets terrible legal advice, or he's mad.
On a side note... There IS one legal possibility that I am surprised no one else has brought up. Morrissey may have had an outstanding commitment with Warner Brothers (when he was signed with them) that required a live video/dvd release. This may have been realized AFTER "Who Put the M in Manchester?" and may have been the reason behind the delay of this DVD to begin with as a tug-o-war type of situation may have existed behind the situation. Morrissey may have wanted to release the DVD and Warner Brothers wanted it for themselves to fulfill outstanding contract commitments.
it can be pre-ordered on recordstore.co.uk for £17.99..man I hope this gets released in the states.
The most amazing thing about Morrissey is what he's been able to achieve in spite of himself.
I'm not torn. I'm buying it anyway.
