have i missed my last chance?
i hope it was really,really good for you folks.
its ridiculous!
i feel like hes died!
whats wrong with me?
[well, apart from the obvious]
this is worse than the usual morrissey itch.

where can i go when theres no service on in the church of moz?

Midnight. Just got back from a blinding night at Brixton! Moz said that Blackburn, Bradford, Birmingham and Glasgow had been the best nights of his life - and we believe him!

He also said he wanted to set the record straight and that contrary to the report in the Manchester Evening News - he doesn't hate Manchester at all - he loves it (and was being most genuine - obviously very offended to be misrepresented on this one).

Hand in Glove was fantastic - loads of stage-divers throughout and Moz on top form. It's over for us (for now). I'm depressed.

Well, what can I say? How lovely to have an entire hall of people who love you singing "There's a light . . . " back at you as you leave the stage.

They looked really tired, as well they might.

And the average age of the audience seemed to be mid 20s which was surprising.

Love to Amy Lame and the Readers Wifes!

hi all,
-yeah a fantastic night! SPM on top form. loads more atmosphere than at RAH. same set list except mexico and maudlin replaced by HIG and NSAM.
-as previously mentioned the other recent UK tour dates described as the best nights of his life. just shows, doesn't it, how important the domestic market really is,
-and also he wanted to deny claims that he hated manchester
-other stuff: the band were introduced as glassblowers (I think!) from Kennington! with some cheeky comment about poor Alain
-Crashing Bores was dedicated to Elton John (quelle surprise!) and we all cheered
-loads of peeps sang along to the new songs (First of the Gang was incredible)
-Hand in Glove was just awesome
-asked us if we enjoyed Sack and the Libertines (was this the only Libertines date? they were excellent by the way)
-caught Deano (predictable chant!) and Gary flashing smiles to each other (how sweet!)
-Moz said they were finally near the end of their 3 month tour (perhaps meaning the Greece dates are the last ones and then maybe they'll record the new album now?)
-OK, that was about it. hope you liked my humble little reveiw!
best wishes,
John Steed, England

Set List:

I Want The One I Can't Have / Suedehead / Little Man, What Now? / Hairdresser On Fire / Speedway / The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores / The First Of The Gang To Die / Jack The Ripper / Everyday Is Like Sunday / I Like You / Alsatian Cousin / Sister I'm A Poet / Meat Is Murder / November Spawned A Monster / Hand In Glove / Irish Blood, English Heart /encore: There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

All the hype is true! This was the most wonderful concert I have been to.

The long journey from northern England began for a friend and me around 2 pm and we pulled into London close to 5 pm, heading straight for the nearest curry house. To our dismay it was shut, so off we went doing a tour of all the central London curry houses until we found one. 1 Chicken tikka massala, jalfreazi, vindaloo, naan and rice later (not to mention the odd glass of wine) we set off for Brixton. Needless to say this was not the last I saw of Indian food this evening!

Brixton Academy was a great venue with huge neon tubes lighting up the November the 5th skyline and framing the single word "Morrissey."

A triple vodka later, and after a quick trip to the loo to revisit my Indian I emerged to find the usual homely Irish lads were on stage, doing their usual thing. It was a nice way to start, opportunity for a chat and a laugh.

The audience was very mixed: plenty of plastic glasses, an abundance of black clothes and young pretty things; white T-shirts and not-so-pretty things with the usual shaven head and guiness-belly. Young and older, girls and boys. It was a nice friendly bunch waiting to catch their first glimpse of Moz on this tour, and plenty who had done the full UK tour.

The first band came and went, the libertines played a rousing set and got a pretty good reaction but the biggest cheer was reserved for when they left. A few stage tricks, and the lights fell, music started and finally Moz, Boz, Alain, Gary and Deano took to the stage and the crowd went mad! Much screaming, shouting, fainting, coronary thrombosis etc ensued. Morrissey welcomed us with a few choice words and ripped into "I Want the one I can't have" and it drove us truly mad! Yes! It was so much more atmospheric than the Royal Albert, the sound was cracking and the mosh-pit was suitably violent (but in a nice way... you know the old violent ballet). Suedehead was up next, all jingle-jangle tenderness and almost-phased-out vocals. It was wonderful and hit after hit flowed, ebbing and flowing. Energy and calm. After the gentle pop of suedehead, the band went straight into a superb "Little man, what now" an ode to hero worship and faded memories of once-great stars. Quite ironic, and utterly compelling. The way the band played it was very dramatic and drew you into Morrissey's vocal. Then it was into another mosh-along with the hairdresser from Sloane Square "when he said I'm gonna screw you... I really felt happy for you."

The guy I was with was new to Moz and even he was besotted with Moz, carried away on the melodies and taken in by the energy. It was pure catharsis. The live experience has always been so antithetical to the studio material... gladioli and comic glasses where there were melancholy and drama; celebration and football chants displacing nights spent in, with the hifi and a mug of cocoa spiked with baileys.

Next up was "Speedway" - as ever it was sublime. A euphony of whispered, vocals and screaming guitars to pounding drums (excellently pounded, might I add) and symphonic duelling between Alain and Boz. If you haven't heard it live, get the bootleg - it only really comes into it's own live. "Vauxhall" tends to hide the song's structure and immerse it in studio knob-twiddling.

"Bores" was lovely, the highlight of the whole evening was for me "The first of the gang to die." I heard it first at the Royal Albert and this time I fell in love. Beautiful lyrics and a jangly, wistful hook line. "You have never been in love until you've seen the stars reflect in the res

Superb!

Once again. The a crowd composed of many young fans shows Moz to be a timeless icon and Britains own Elvis!

No mention that he hasnt got a record deal....which is a hopeful implication methinks ;)

Enjoyed hearing new stuff for 2nd time live (went to Albert Hall). First of the Gang is my fav.

I could do another one of those '...priceless' jokes, but suffice to say I travelled down to see Morrissey on the bus, missing my afternoon's lectures, bought a tout ticket outside for £40 (couldn't bear to be sitting down) and breathed a sigh of relief when I was admitted! But it was worth every penny, as I knew it would be.
I'd been to the second night of the RAH, so the standouts for me were the two 'newies': 'November' (brilliant rendition, has lost nothing of its power) and 'Hand In Glove', which was just as good as on record, I thought it would be lacking something, but I really enjoyed it. I was reasonably near the front all the way through, but managed to get into the second row during 'Hand In Glove' and held Morrissey's hand (for the second time, 2 out of 2 ain't bad :D).

A few titbits:-
* Before 'Meat is Murder' he said 'no matter how shish your shish kebab is, you can shove it up your....'
* When he came on, he said something like 'you are so ruthless'! and 'it's nice to see all of you again... well, almost all of you'.
* A couple of people started shouting for 'Shelia Take A Bow' half way through, and he said 'feel free to shout any requests. They will not be honoured'.
* I was particularly impressed by the stage invasion antics, much more going on than at RAH, the security was tight, but Moz managed to touch at least half of the people going over, and even pulled a couple of guys (only one at a time) onto the stage during the encore, against the security guys' wishes! They took it pretty good naturedly though, and didn't oppose Moz's wishes.

In general, an excellent gig, quite a few people singing along to the new songs, including myself of course! There was plenty of pushing and shoving, crowd surfing, crushing and bopping for those that wanted it, and the crowd was pretty noisy, chanting 'Mor-ri-ssey' at the slightest opportunity. Sweat was dripping off those at the front, and we all looked to be enjoying ourselves.
A top, top evening, which left me feeling so happy as I walked back to the tube station in my newly-acquired Morrissey t-shirt. Thanks so much Morrissey (&Boz, Dean, Alain and Gary) for another night to remember.

Its the end of this tour for me..USA and the UK..thank you Chris Chez, Melinda, Carlos, Coulter et al and all the other souls I have touched. Highlight of all the shows was Brixton... passing the mobile to Natalie and hearing her hearing Hand in Glove and then asking Dean , Boz when is Germany liberated..

of course he introduced Hand in Glove with the refrain.."because..because we must"

I've seen Morrissey solo 6 times live since July '91 (@ Wembley Arena), and I've probably seen the best concert of the lot. I knew I was in for a special evening when I found myself interviewed by a lady from 'The Face' (I came along to take a pic or two for my homepage, and I ended up being snapped myself!).
        Sack were a lot better than when I saw them last (@ the Forum in '99), The Libertines I'd read about, but I only discovered them musically last Friday via 'Later...With Jools Holland' (they were strangely Beatle-esque, even though they sound nothing like them, which is odd, when you check it!), they provided an interesting opposite to the star turn that night(don't expect power ballads from them in the near future, unless they're seriously bribed some!).
          And then the man of the moment took to the stage, a little chunkier than he used to be (well, aren't we all?), but Brixton bore witness to a supreme display ofmusical fitness. Personal highlights? ALL of The Smiths songs performed that night (goes without saying really!), they were played with real power and passion (I think as of now, the "pub rock" tag attached cheaply & dismissively to Boz, Alain, Gary & Mr.Deeeaanno! by certain hacks can be dropped & dismissed - FOREVER!), 'Everyday Is Like Sunday' done by Boz on a banjo (though I can claim to have gone one better, having performed it on my harmonica, accompanied by a former colleague named Theo - hello there! - on guitar to a gaggle of kids who like garage in the library I work at in Islington during an easter craft session last year, shocking but true!), considerate security bods calming the crowd when the jostling got a little too vigourous, and 'Irish Blood, English Heart' (perhaps his clearest riposte to those who accused him of racism in past songs, he still needs to clear the air a little more for my liking on said issue, but that's just me I guess), out of the new songs performed. His new album has the potential to match (even perhaps, eclipse) both 'Viva Hate' & 'Vauxhall & I' if the new songs are of the quality of those I heard last night.
        If I have a downside to last night, then that's due to the security taking my trusty old Zenit 'E' camera off me (I knew that I should have smuggled my compact camera in with me, oh well more than a few classic snaps went begging!), so all you'll see as a momento of Nov 5th on my homepage (www.geocities.com/londonpics/) will a pic I took of ther sign outside the Academy @ a later date).
          All in all, a marvellous evening. Anyone out there got a bootleg c.d. of the night to burn up for me, please?

"Bring me the head of Elton John" - couldn't agree more. 100 times better than the souless Albert Hall and the new songs sound even better on a second listen.

I've still not figured out the triangle with the fingers thing during Meat is murder?

Also, Moz said to somebody "very funny" midway through a song. Any ideas why????

Stuff a recording deal, just keep touring I say............. bit labour intensive maybe.

There was a real sense of party and celebration last night. People in the crowd were being nice to each other, the bouncers were extremely gentle in dealing with people who wanted to get to the stage. (Which was nice after the unpleasantness of the RAH where people were dropped via WWF moves.)

I think (what should have been) the last night of the tour was a major factor. Moz and the band were in such good spirits. The crowd singing 'there is a light..' over and over after the end of the gig was something special. Though at that point I had just managed to get over the top of the crowd and shake hands with Morrissey, so I was feeling fairly elated!

It was such a great night I would really appreciate it if anyone has a video that they could sell me a copy. robertlines@ntlworld.com. Thanks eversomuch, Rob.

It was sensational - my sixth Morrissey gig - and perhaps my last (sob!) but I loved it. So atmospheric and emotional at the end.

I'm not a vindictive person but I have to say that the first three songs were completely ruined for me and my pals, by a bunch of 7ft tall essex-boy twats who were pissed and clad in tracksuits (not that I'm judging them...) and decided to push their way to the front and invade our little area and start waving thier arms around,doing nazi salutes, and banging into the surrounding crowd.

By all means, it's great that lots of different types of people are into Morrissey and enjoy the gigs but try and be a bit more considerate - my friends had to move further back to see as they are only wee girlies and were getting a bit fed up with being smacked in the face every five minutes...

That's my rant over with. Sorry.

The rest of the gig was brilliant and I thought the Libertines looked like the Beatles on acid (no, really...I did!)

100 times better than Albert Hall in every way. I agree with one of the comments below, there really was a sort of celebratory atmosphere about the place which was electric to say the least...

"Morrisey - it is a lovely name, but think where it's been!"

Class

Yes indeed, it was a lovely business. Support acts were Sack and The Libertines.

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

"Crashing Bores" was preceded by the pronouncemnet "Bring me the head of Elton John". Song itself was fairly dull, and the last few bars sounded distinctly like "Oonmpah Oompah, stick it up your jumper".

"Hairdresser On Fire" chorus changed to "Stoned around Sloane Square..."

"First Of The Gang" preceded by list of dead stars: "Steve Marriott... Brian Jones... Joey Ramone...". That was the best of the new ones.

Band introduced before "Everyday".

"Sister" preceded by rant against Manchester Evening News, with a complaint against the "spineless bastards" for printing that he "hated Manchester", which he insists is not true.

"Meat" preceded by "You can stick your shish kebab up your arse", something like that.

Frankie Howerd impression performed throughout.

I was standing behind this couple and the girl was singing all the lyrics to every song and saying to her boyfriend "you know this one"(every day is like sunday) No response from neat haired good looking but dull witted fellow
I was incensed
I actually started to write a song on my arm
I thought "what is she doing with this spanner"

i was glad when they moved away from me
it was spoiling the gig for me

my thoughts on the gig

really good start, dipped in the middle, brilliant ending
everyday is like.... dragged along
Band looked very tired. not into it
loved hearing hand in glove

best bit of stage invasion was a guy who managed to get on stage and he was so suprised he'd got on, he just stood there, and didnt get to touch moz cos the security whisked him away.

while the libertines were on me and my pals were inventing smiths songs with a food theme
such as

That yolk isnt runny anymore
half a portion
pretty girl's bake cakes
Miserable pie
so yeah we had a great time

so..he's lookin pretty good don't you think?very handsome,charming etc.
dunno bout anybody else and i don't wanna be mean but i thought sack were awful.the libertines were pretty dull too,but at least they had some energy i guess..
as for the man himself,and the band...well!
"oh little body do not die"
does anybody know where that came from?of course you do,cos you're all poets!
created a perfect sense of mood,instantly dramatic,engaging,intelligent..
then 'i want the one i can't have' surely a classic song and sentiment for all moz fans.
yeah there were a few beer bellies in the audience,and some real laddy goings on.
generally very friendly though
also a few really handsome boys not that i was looking..
meat is murder was amazing...
"do you care how animals die?
i dont know if it will ever change anybody's mind but you know..we can but hope..
those t-shirts that say 'yummy'..that is such a fantastic image..anybody know where i can get it (without buying the t-shirt?)or who designed it?
i could rant and rant..get in touch if you like..we might have shared a 'moment' last night.
as for the record industry,
fuck 'em.
Viva Moz!

astonishing.

Personally I prefered Bradford for the lovely venue but it was a stunning night - despite the reeling pissheads in the crowd, band looked a bit tired in parts ( no wonder ) but Moz was far sunnier and charming than at any other gig - come a long way from Royal Albert, and it was great to see so many young 'uns.

Sack have really grown on me but The libertines looked like the bastard child of The Ramones and S-Club Juniors, the crew were great and even the bouncers were gentlemen, for a change.

Even If he never records again - this tour has elevated him to ledgendary status, and there's nothing wrong with that !!!

Rich.

The very first thing Morrissey did as he came on stage was address uas as 'Brethren' and he flicked the microphone at us as if shaking the Holy water at us.

Throughout, Morrissey placed his hands on parts of his body as if to check they were all there. It was kind of coy I thought. Hand placed flat on his chest, on his stomach, on his....

And has he changed the ending to 'EDILS' before? I hadn't noticed before but he sings "Everyday is like Sunday when you're on your own" (or is that when you're alone).

Top gig!

Tingle, who has forgotten the password

The Best venue in London was a great way to end a successful tour. Morrissey was in strong voice (it really has got stronger over the years) and the crowd was receptive to his every verbal punch and feint.

Seemed louder (well, it drowned out the RAH by far) and slightly more aggressive.. I liked that. Highlights for me on last nights performances, were 'Sister I'm A Poet', 'Meat', 'Suedehead', 'Hand In Glove', 'First of the Gang', and the singalong encore 'There is a light'.. was as rich and fulsome as a victorian whores breast as well!

What I also liked was the security.. I've always liked the Brixton boys. Even if half of them are Yardies. They have a good attitude and it was nice to see stage invaders have the best degere of success on this tour. And was that first invader Morrissey 23rd on stage planting a kiss on Morrisseys neck?

Talking of stage invasion success though, who was that hapless bloke who successfully got on the stage, and then wandered around dazed to Boz's left, failing to take his clear cut Morrissey chance, before being led from the satge. Was he stoned or just so unaware of where he was that made everyone shake their head in disbelief at his lack of opportunity!!The boy done good and then threw it all way.

Also, who witnessed the near brawl outside with the Bernard Manning beer bellied bouncer who seemed to be angry at the world as they failed to 'keep moving'? The Asian lad who was thrown down the stairs seemed game for 'some' though! ha ah

Bit sad today. It's like really anti-climactic after seeing Moz.. but I felt this post-RAH gig as well.. so hopefully some brighter sides to life will show themselves soon.. as they did last night. And on that note, thanks to all those people in the Goose who made it a good pre gig laugh as well.. Girl Drowning, Melissa and Mike from America, German Anita, bequiffed Darryl, and the striking romantic lesbian from the East End.

We will return!
The Ruffian

Whom is the Julia the Master kept speaking to at last night's gig? And does anyone have a contact for his management (such that it is)?

Wow last nite was truly amazing!
Glad to see the Moz is still on top form, with a mighty fine setlist.
Interesting to see the effects of the Class As as he gurned and sniffed his way through the first half of the set too !!!

MORE PLEASE!!

Morrissey wore a black shirt with a square/ diamond pattern on it. His trousers appeared to be dark blue and in a casual style with no sharp creases, but they weren't cargo pants or combats. They hung rather nicely I thought, worn without a belt. He threw the shirt into the audience and returned for the encore wearing a white shirt with vertical pink lines in the centre in the button area. This one he kept on. After the first half hour or so Morrissey kept checking his hair - it was getting quite flat 'cause he was so sweaty.

Morrissey - ek. Lost everyone I was with when in the 'mosh pit' (ahem) and lord that was a good thing. I don't think I could've faked any more enthusiasm after about song 4. Never have I seen such a bland and uninspired bunch of session musicians pandering to one man's ego. It'd be fine if he had an ego my size, but having an ego of a depressed aging wanabee squat style crooner was a fright. Particularly when everyone around was saying how much they adored him. Fascinating. I'm told the crap band are made up for my the stunning lyrics - which would be fine if he didn't hold the mic in his mouth all the time - it's like that bit in henry lee when nc swallows the mic while screaming at pj harvey. but worse, as this wasn't about murder. i'm happy to admit that the fella has some charisma, a rich voice, and some interesting stage poses, but the only time it was enjoyable was when he was doing smiths songs, and that was only because the band had to work some to keep the guitars at pace. Fortunately they seemed to recognise it and turned on the light show for those songs, which made it more like a gig than an audience with a bad shirt collection, but still, £33? Good to know that if the government are cutting out serps at least I've contributed to his pension in another way.

I saw Mozzer at Brixton last night and it truly was one of the best nights of my life. I am disappointed that not everyone feels the same but from where I was (about 2/3 rows back to the right of the stage for the record) everyone seemed to be loving it.

Highlights for me were '..Crashing Bores' (which has already become a crowd pleaser. Not that we needed pleasing!), 'Irish heart English Blood' (a classic), 'Sister I'm A Poet' (a personal favourite), and an emotional 'There Is A Light..'. It seems that Mozzer really IS back (as we have all been telling people) and now all we need to do is wait until the next time (I am sure there must be one!).

There were obviously lowpoints. Didn't think 'I Like You' is one of the stronger new songs and the baffling dying swan thing at the end of Meat Is Murder was rather odd but the onstage comments were a joy. Morrissey ("yes its a nice name but look where its BEEN!!") has clearly found some new confidence in his old age!

Anyway, a great night, a great crowd (with apologies to the lovely young lady in front of me who must have been feeling quite squashed by the end! Sorry!!) and some fantastic music. Thank you Steven and don't leave it so long next time!!

Last night was the absolute worst night of my life!
We got lost in London! Couldnt find Brixton anywhere! Missed the whole gig! I havent stopped crying since! i also will never forgive my dad who decided to try out a different route to the one he had first decided on going! That was possibly the last chance i had to see God and i missed it!:-(
i would love to be able to say ' i went to morrisseys last ever england gig' now i cant. waste of £50 too, not that that matters im far more distressed and distraught about missing Morrissey! i dont know how i am going to cope now! its gonna take me ages to get over this one! im just clinging on to the fact that he MIGHT tour next year! Please i want all u people to reply saying 'Yeah ofcourse he will' that might make me feel better and i want to hear your sympathies too!
How the hell did you lot find Brixton?! we were driving around London for about 2 hours and there wasnt a single sign! There was a sign for Padington and im sure that's near Brixton but i was too scared to tell my dad that cos he was in a raging mood! you are all gonna tell we should have gone to Padington arent you! Did he say anything about the date? surely he must have mentioned Guy Fawkes?
well that was the worst night of my life! I thought it was bad enough that i never saw the smiths live (too young) but this just takes the biscuit! someone out there has got it in for me and is determined to make my life hell!
Now all i live for is to see Morrissey live again! do u thinkk i ever will?
love-
suicidal sPANS
im going to continue my crying now waaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaa boo hoo!

How odd that during a stirring M.I.M swathed in red light, a stage hand comes across and plants a steaming plastic cup of tea (?) on the drum stand for Morrissey. I think it was this cup that someone after the gig begged for from the roadies (and was handed complete with remainder of tea). If you got it did you drink it or is it now frozen?

This Julia Rielly woman seems like a fascinating person to me - has anyone ever met her/talked to her? Has she got her own entourage and website? Please forward any info you have on her to me below. Thanks. I read somewhere last year that she is a rich 30-something widow who is a seriously professional Morrissey fan. I would like to ask her does she ever get bored religiously attending His concerts? I'm surprised she's not on the payroll as Steven's own private tea lady! I bet she has some extraordinary tales to tell!!!

Anyway back to the concert. When I arrived at the BA I was mildly shocked. This was my first Morrissey concert,(did see The Smiths in another life!) and I always had the impression he wouldn't perform anywhere, where they sold meat food. Well shiver me timbers, when I saw all those hamburgers piled ten high on the hot plate in the tuck shop. I couldn't help thinking that some of Mozzy's fans are vegetarians in name only!

And what was the door policy on stills cameras? Mine was checked and passed by security twice and then a third bouncer said I couldn't take it in! I just said 'it' okay - it's been cleared' and walked past him briskly. For two security people to say YES and one to say NO suggests to me there was some confusion about cameras. Could someone please enlighten me on this on?

I thoroughly enjoyed the concert. What really made it for me was all the wonderful fans who turned up to create the electric atmosphere in the theatre. Truly, a performer is only as good as the big number of fans they attract. And with a full house singing along to songs old, recent and some yet to released, it truly was magical.

Morrissey is a superlative performer, but the hysterical fanz are the cherry on the iced cake for me. Great fans. Great gig.

Loved the decadent looking Libertines - I thought Sack were pretty mediocre but loved the idea of two support acts.

Great performance. Great fans. Great night!

normally don't post on things really but i had to declare to all how much i enjoyed brixton. spent entire night on paddington platform, waiting for first train home to bristol and i'm glad i did cos missing the end would have been tragic. i don't need to review the gig cos you all know what happened. i did spend the whole time down near the front (am now bruised and minus my favourite watch!) and was rewarded with a snippet of the great one's shirt!! this was actually snatched away from me but, on the tube afterwards, i ran into the guy who won most of the shirt and, after i'd shamelessly pleaded for my snippet back, his friend convinced him to rip me off some. so thank you to the guy on the tube (especially the mate who felt sorry for me!) - it meant loads to get my piece of mozzer (the tiny piece of cloth still smells of sweat). i don't know if this message makes sense to anyone else but i felt i had to say something. i've been to hundreds of gigs and this rates in the top three. actually, the top one! oh yeah, and my favourite new one is 'first of the gang to die' too.

OK, I know that this site is dedicated to the Mozzer, but can anyone tell me anything about Gary other than the fact that he is gorgeous?

Please anyone, tell me something about Gary. Was he smiling, serious, etc.????????

Does anyone have a copy of the Birmingham Academy gig???
If so let me know I need to re-live those memories once more.

gramp@griffindesign.co.uk

I got a piece of the Great Mans shirt, it smells wonderful. Does anyone know what aftershave he uses?

Just my 2p: It doesnt get any better than last nights gig.

A great night to end what must be one of the best ever tours. I won't bore you with the details but the Brixton Academy gig will take a lot of beating. SPM is back in fine style.

Does anyone know what the weird piano music was that was played just after the Libertines finished their set?

When introducing 'FOTGTD' Morrissey posed a little conundrum but I forget the names of the people he listed. There was Brian Jones & Keith Moon I believe but who were the others who were the First of their gang to die? The last name I didn't even recognise.

Tingle

i dont get it! what the hell does 'Undone, Ukeleke-Bricks on a cad' mean? how is that a set list?!

..but they did have one decent track.. does anyone know what the libertines 2nd one's called?

Morrissey was beyond amazing. It was without a doubt one of the top five nights of my life, if not the best. We were right down the front (second from the front) but slightly to the side so we didn't get too crushed... did a little bit though. But it didn't matter! He was so close to us at times... me and my mate were screaming like little girls at a Westlife concert every time he came near us. Because we'd heard most of the set before, it was a totally different experience to last time. Last time we were miles away and just enjoying the songs, but this time we were so close to Morrissey! He played two songs different to last time: November Spawned a Monster and Hand in Glove.

At the end when he played There is a Light That Never Goes Out, loads of people were trying to get on stage and hug Moz (as you do). Me and Nic were trying to help this bloke up but the bouncer pushed him back, so he was like, 'lets try and get you on' so he lifted me up and tried to throw me on the stage, but it didn't quite work! It was hilarious though. Morrissey looked so happy at all the people hugging him, it fucking rocked. It was like a religious experience, it was so good, I mean it.

I need more. I need to see him again. Every day if possible. I wish I was back there right now.

Happier than I've ever been on drugs, without a doubt. When he played Speedway, it just couldn't have got any better.

That Bernard Manning bouncer (mentioned earlier) started on me too after the gig and my brother tried to take him on! Not pretty. Afterwards on the tube home we were on such a downer after feeling so euphoric.

I was at Brixton and my god am i bowled over.
My first ever big gig, and there it was - my favourite man, and i was at the front but my arms were too short to touch him when he reached out to me, but my lanky sister managed it. i am devastated.
But he was magnificent.
Meat is murder was so stirring i nearly threw up

Morrisey we love you so much.
You were the greatest and made my lungs implode.
As someone else said, he was sooo happy and if anyone says to me that the man is miserable again, i am going to remove their intestines with a spade. no-one who really knows the work of Morrissey would say that. i think he can be the nost moving and joyous lyricist i ever heard. the guy fucking rocks like nothing else and he deserves the unconditional love that his fans so obviously send to him.
I love him and always will - the greatest songwriter in the world.... i prostrate myself at your feet with daffodils between my teeth and a tattooed lyrics from Jack the ripper on my forehead..

I will no doubt be subject of your envy but I got on the stage at Brixton, during There is a Light.... shook the mans hand and was escorted through the back stage area to the stage door (seemingly the security thought I was one of the band!!). The fast car was waiting to speed Mozza away - he was a minute behind me.

I've only just stopped shaking.

When introducing Meat is Murder he said 'No matter how Shish your Shish Kebab might be...you know where you can stick your Shish'

now this is my kind of setlist
good work young fellow

Great work.

Hilarious! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Sorry to "borrow" a catchphrase from another website but that set list is AWESOME!
