I think a lot has changed in the last few years. In 97 there wasn't nearly as many people getting on stage. I saw him in San Francisco, and no one even tried to get on stage until the very end. Very few made it up, the security was really keeping them down. Then I saw him at the Thousand Oaks Civic Center and I don't think anyone got up on stage. It was a welcome change to the UCLA fiasco/riot I had to go through. A few people getting on stage is fine, it sort of adds to the show to see how emotional and desperate the fans are. But too many just ruin it. Morrissey can't sing when someone's got him in a headlock.
I miss the flower thing though. I didn't see barely any flowers in '97. Why not? We should all bring flowers and immediately pelt him as soon as he walks on stage.
To all going to coachella: Make sure you identify yourself as a morrissey fan. Morrissey/smiths t-shirts are mandatory. Massive bouquets of flowers. We need to make our presence known in mass numbers. Beck gets top billing? Ugh!
