That was the most amazing concert ever. Where do I start?

He said he has a record deal and that The First of the Gang to Die will be his first single.

He looked wonderful in a yellow frilly shirt and the brown trousers, gorgeous. For the encore he changed into a gorgeous white dress shirt with double cuffs. It was well buttoned up so he clearly wasn't planning to take it off, and didn't.

First he said it was great to be back in his homeland and that got a great cheer. He followed that with, "Was it something I said?"

An Irish accent? very much so. Bejaysus this that and the other. He talked to us between every song. He was very witty and alert and beautiful.

I'll try to remember some more of his remarks. These won't be exact quotes. But we got a classic Dublin "How'yis" when he arrived on stage.

Nothing Rhymes was lovely. A big surprise. "May god bless you, and Oscar Wilde bless you, and Johnny Thunders bless you, and Gilbert O'Sullivan bless you." The was a bit of a stunned silence from the crowd after that.

Maybe the funniest thing he said was "I was in a leather bar on the Liffey this afternoon and met some bowsies..." He went on to introduce the band. And earlier he looked around and said, "Well, Julia's here, Boz is here, Alain's here so lets get started."

There was a girl at the front screaming in an incredibly piercing way and it was impossible to ignore. Morrissey eventually said something about her tonsillitis. After Alsation Cousin she started barking like a dog and kept at it all night. Morrissey commiserated with her tonsils again later.

There was a video camera there, and plenty of photos taken. The band were great. The Ambassador is a lovely venue, very intimate, and I didn't hear any sound problems, except for a little feedback now and again. Oh yes, he very amusingly said, "I don't see any ambassadors here".

The songs, the songs... The set list was brilliant. The First of the Gang to Die was better than I expected, really good. Speedway was great. During Maudlin Street he segued into Break Up The Family, "There were bad times on Maudlin Street, he drove me home in the van, complaining women only like me for my mind". I loved that.

Before Meat Is Murder he warned us to "be careful what you bite into" (or similar). The song was stunning. All the Smiths songs were fab, and didn't sound as old as some of the Viva Hate songs, which was strange. When the intro of Everyday Is Like Sunday began it sounded like some timeless classic number one single. We were swept away by it.

Nobody got on stage, though about five people tried to and most got a handclasp and a smile. The security was really quite pleasant, except for the one who told the screaming girl to "shut the fuck up" which was no more than she deserved.

There's loads more. The concert seemed to go on forever. It was spellbinding. But yet it was over so quickly.. Everyone seemed to be shellshocked leaving. The fans were maybe 80% male and very friendly. There was a lovely atmosphere.

The Ambassador is next door to the Rotunda Maternity hospital, in fact, the rotunda of the name is the Ambassador Theatre. Anyway, Morrissey said, "As some of you may know, playing this venue means a lot to me, because in 1970 I was born next door in the Rotunda" There was a big cheer which gradually turned to laughter as people did the maths.

I couldn't bear to see him leave the stage. I'm sure he really enjoyed himself tonight. It was a triumphant return to his homeland.

(Did I mention how beautiful he looked?)
