The tour got off to a good start with the three excellent shows in Arizona this past weekend. Thanks to everyone for all the great postings in the tour section for each of the shows, job well done. Summer Sonic Festival concerts in Japan are next (Saturday and Sunday), then back to the US - Seattle, WA on Aug. 22.

As you have already read I'm sure, the four new songs played are named "The First Of The Gang To Die", "The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores", "Mexico" and "I Like You". Ambitious-Outsiders has stated that they will have the songs for download shortly. MorrisseyTour.com has transcribed lyrics (look in the Yuma review). Both sites also have extensive coverage of the tour with photos for each concert.

Here are a few photos from the first show, click through the small and medium sized images for highest resolution (1280x960).

  • These are lovely pictures. Question... how did you get so close? Do you have a pretty good lense? Zooooooooooom? Very nice shots. I love your subject. Do you think he does any nude modeling?

  • I think it's too long. I wish he woulld clip it. Other than that I think he looks good. My mom, who is his age, says she would date him.

    "But mom," I say, "he's not like that."

    "Oh dear..." came her reply.

              James: Whew! There's some pretty hard checking going on out there!

              Dean: Yeah... they are really sticking it to each other pretty good

              James: Say, can I see youir I.D.?

              Dean: Excuse me? What the hell do yo wanna see my license for, stranger?

              James: Your Birthday wouldn't happen to fall in May or June, would it?

              Dean: Umm... yes, why?

              James: What day?

              Dean: May 22... what is this about?

              James: Oh!! You're a Bisexual Gemini like me!

              Dean: What?

              James: You didn't know? All of us Geminis like to play for BOTH teams?

              Dean: We do?

              James: You betcha

              Dean: Actually, come to think of it- I did notice that you wear those Levi's really nice and tight. I never noticed that in a man before.

              James: That's nothing. Let's get out of here- I'll show you my "slapshot"- and I'm not talking about this hockey game, either- you'll love my "high-sticking"

              Dean: Ohhhh, yes! Let's find our own little penalty box!

  • I think Morrissey looks very good again. His hair is much better than the Oye Esteban Tour. His quiff is nearly back to its former glory. He's still one of the coolest men alive but I wish he'd sign with someone and release his new stuff.
    Anonymous -- Thursday August 15 2002, @01:18AM (#36599)
  • Please don't kill me for saying this, but I don't think the new lyrics is really of the quality Morrissey used to deliver. Except for one or two lines, I find most of it pretty un-witty and -- do I dare to say it? -- slightly pathetic. Maybe it sounds much better and profound together with the music, but the lyrics alone did not do anything at all for me.

    Am I all alone here? Does anybody agree? Come on, hang me high!

    • WSell Anonymous, I don't think that simpler and 'less witty' lyrics are a revelation in Mozdom. As someone else mentioned it is the delivery of the songs that I think is more important. Witty lyrics are a bonus if anything not to be expected 100% of the time in all songs.
      May I remind everyone of a few lines from songs a little while back:
      ' Dagenham Dave,Dagenham Dave,oh Dagenham Dave..
      Dagenham Dave, Dagenham Dave, oh Dagenham Dave '
      'Day or night, there is no difference,
      You're gonna need someone on your side.
      Day or night, there is no difference,
      You're gonna need someone soon.
      And here I am! And here I am!'
      OK enough. Obviously the latter is a stronger track for most people. Anyway, just come to Canada. The end.

  • has he started on the peanut butter and banana sandwiches....?

    i bet he's getting hair transplants....hence keeping the length back to hide the scars...his hairline is uber-high yet he still has enough thickness to have a reasonable pomp...

  • You must be the person who yelled "Hey Morrissey, you've gained weight" at the Yuma show during the intermission. Sure, he's gained a little weight, but at least he still looks good despite it. And I don't think he's gained anymore than when we last saw him during the Oye Esteban tour.
