How was the show?

Is anyone there? Or has everyone that went to the show died?

this was the best moz show i have ever seen.....3 encores!!!!! let me kiss you, last night i dreamt, and there is a light. he took his shirt off three times, rubbed them in his crotch, then threw them to the crowd!!! ive seen him 9 times in 12 years, and this was def the best!!

Just got back home and I am still in awe at his performance tonight. It was first time I saw him perform How soon is now and Rubber ring--so I was very emotional needless to say. He was dressed in his priest outfit for most of the show, the lads were in Jobriath tees. Morrissey was especially chatty tonight, witty and political as always. I know I am going to get the setlist incorrect, but here is a sampling:

How Soon is Now
First of the Gang to Die
November Spawned a Monster
Don't make fun of Daddy's Voice
Munich Air Disaster
Bigmouth Strikes Again
Cover song (Patti Smith?)
Rubber Ring
Irish Blood English Heart
Now my Heart is Full
I like you
The World is full of crashing bores
I have forgiven Jesus
Subway train into Everyday is like Sunday
Let me kiss you
Last Night I dreamt that somebody loved me
There is a light that never goes out

Good night...

Simply the best MOZ show I have ever seen and thats counting over 20 shows! Totally stoked, can't wait until tomorrow night.

I would have never dreamed 3 encores, seems as if he is happy to be back home in LA, just thing, he gets to sleep in how own bed tonight.

Wish everyone could have been there who posts on this site, this was truly an amazing experience.

BeeWee

This show was great, every show i have seen of this tour was awesome, but Morrissey seems to outdue himself every time he comes to town. He wore the priest outfit again, shook many hands, and he played Rubber Ring, one of my all time favs from the Smiths! can't wait for tomorrow, and then its Vegas baby! Vegas!

The cover Morrissey sang tonight was "Redondo Beach" by Patti Smith.

the best...patti smith song was very cool...can't wait to one day download it...'everyday' has evoled into a weird and wonderful new song...incluides the line 'oh mama scratch on a postcard, how i dearly wish that I were dead'...he kept telling us we were "too hot" ...stage invations on the last encore...chaos, chaos

the back drop was awsome and mozz spoke a lot. I love his humor!

Did Sinatra's little girl come out to sing with Morrissey?

I just got back from the show and man was it great. I have to thank some people who helped my friend and I get into the pit then get my friend onto the stage, thank you Monica and Math(yes thats her name) I know I missed others and im sorry but my memory doesnt work to well with names. Monica and her friend where nice enough to give us there wrist bands so we could get into the pit with a couple songs left. We got right up to the front and once he started playing Last Night all of a sudden I see my friend come flying over me and landing half on the stage half off. She was imedatly surounded by security but she grabed onto one of the cords on the stage and didnt let go. Morrissey came over and helped her up on the stage and she got to hug him and give him a kiss. He then came over to me and shook my hand before he left the stage. Math and Monica thank you agin for making a goodnight 100times better.

Best gig so far.
 
Nancy came out did a great set, she sounded lovely
Boots are made for walking was really good. I dont know much of her music but I loved her voice.

Good Night and Thank You

Nancy was pretty good. no duet with morrisey, unfortunately. Although he did say he was "indebted to her for 700 years" for opening. Some rude people were yelling "loser" during her performance. That's fucked up. He mentioned the fact that j had been to all the shows on the tour, to which she responded something to the effect of "it has totally been worth it." What else....

...in response to all the people trying to make contact with him, he said something like "the funny thing is, if you were to see me tomorrow at Ralphs (a supermarket chain, for those of you in the U.K.)you would just walk past me." He said that Never Played Symphonies was a song about the "death of the heart" (?). he played a cover of a patti smith song. He kept grabing his balls during the line "...why did you stick me in self deprecating bones and skin." He also rubbed the shirts he threw into the crowd on his chest and on his balls (that's no joke). He said that "the presidency of terrorism and illiteracy" will continue under W. He also said that you know the world is full of crashing bores when things are done opposite to what the majority wants, or something like that. can;t remember much else. oh yeah I got to shake morrissey's hand during the third or fourth song (i have a long reach). wish all of the moz militia could have been here. good night.

After experiencing an amazing show for the Halloween make up gig, I didn't think Moz had it in him to come out tonight and outperform his Oct 31st show. Boy, did he ever! Simply amazing!! He wasn't at all dissapointed by the almost completely empty mezzannine. Los Angelino's fans just bring out the best in Morrissey. Clearly.
He came out ala Mozfather, and the boys sported Jobriath tee's. He and the lads looked great!!

Tonight's Highlights

1.About 30 people made it over the barakade. security was shiting bricks. They were terified.
If you want to get an idea of what it was like, put on the Will Never Marry video. Only this was chaotic.
2. Jesse was pulled into the crowd. Guitar and all.
#. Gave the mike to Julia for about 20 seconds.
3. MOZ stood, mitutes, bare-chested, singing on stage!
4. He threw 3 shirts.People were frighting, pulling hair, knawing (no kidding) just to get a piece.*After the show I found one of his buttons, and the great clean up crew gave me, well threw at me, Morrissey's water bottle. Idrank the rest on the way home.

Vincent Gallo in the pit
Jimmy Gnecco from the band Ours in the pit

***both, along with four or five other angsty fans, were fighting for Morrissey's first shirt thrown into the crowd (the one he rubbed in his crotch). this tug-o-war lasted at least 20 minutes and i'm not exaggerating.***

This was the best show I've seen from our Moz. And I've been to many since '87. I just got back from seeing him in London. That was great too, but nothing has compared to tonight.

I just wanted to clarify, that SPM said that he felt that the "Right" people definitely "Lost" this election. And he believes so not because of hatred, but because of fear. "I fear we are in a lot of trouble."

He also said that he new that the world is full of crashing bores, mainly because when the majority votes, the majority is always "Wrong".

I hope that when I see him again I could have somewhere near the same experience, because tonight he was ________. No words to descibe this, I still have tears in my eyes.

This show was incredible!

Obviously the Los Angelians (or whatever you are called) are his favourite people.
Bigger setlist too than anywhere else he's played on the tour.
Wonder what us Brits have done wrong?

Should I drive 5 hrs to see the man in Paris? Is it worth it?

That's am all-time recors I think. It certainly is a record for this tour. Even in mEN Arena he only played 18 songs. You Los Angelinos are so lucky! Hopefully he will play the same setlist in Paris!! Come on Moz, the whole of Europe will come to see you there!!!

tonight was the night morrissey would not get off the stage can ya believe 3 encores!!!! now that is unheard off, liked the concert 3rd one this year 4 me but the crowd at sometimes looked lost especially when he performed the patti smith song. even when he sang daddys voice the volume just went down down down. moz your A game was on tonigth you where the "closer" coming in from the bullpen to close this one out and put it away for us this year. los angeles will always love ya
bye the way rumba room wasnt't that bad!!!

Well I have seen 5 shows on this tour and yet again he has amazed me. What a great set- an hour and 35 minutes of awesome songs. Ussually he does about and hour and 10 minutes tops but tonight had THREE encores. I was just stricken with dumb luck for this one because I decided at the last minute to go- and got a ticket FRONT ROW Orchestra on the left about 5 feet from the stage. I got eye contact with Boz and he grinned- and believe it or not Moz himself looked right at me a few times. Pretty cool.

The after-party at the Rumba Room was a blast as well. All my pictures are HERE [comcast.net]

Now keep in mind that these are my personal pictures so me and my friends are in them. Sorry ;^)

Cheers,

Jay

Did anyone out there manage to get a good quality recording of the show? If so PLEASE let us know how to get ahold of it.

I like that Moz doesn't mind the shows being recorded. He's commented several times that he even buys some of the better boots himself. Very cool....

Very interested in a copy of this show.

Thanks all! Sounds like an extraordinary night.... Three encores! wow!

Oh wait... that's right. It's never happened.

My bad.

It was definately one of the best shows I have ever seen. Morrissey was so beautiful. Can you belive he did 3 encores? I think he was really feeling the energy of the crowd. We were all in such rapture. He grapsed my hand for what seemed like forever during "Everyday is Like Sunday." I feel so lucky!!! I felt like time had stopped. We as a crowd were so lucky -- can U believe he did "Redondo Beach." Me and the girls I was was standing with were like the only ones who knew the song. One of Patti Smith's best -- I think she wrote it for her sister when she had left Patti all alone, briefly. The longing and lonliness of the song suited Morrissey's show perfectly and I was espeically intoxicated by the bands' rendition of it. It sounded just like the record. Speaking of the band ~ this is the closest I've ever been to the stage, thus I was really able to get into their performances too. The keyboard guy is really good!! Very hot too! I wonder, does he like boys? Other highlights: "Daddy's Voice" "Munchi Air" "Rubber Ring" and definately the triumverate encore of "Let Me Kiss You" "Last Night I Dreamt" and "There Is A Light" -- Morrissey -- I love you so much!! Your power on stage is unsurpassed -- the way you can bring such a huge a crowd together in musical abandon -- it is always nothing short of a spiritual experience. We will always love you and please always come back to SoCal. When everyone forgets about the pathetic pop stars who are big now, there will still always be you -- towering so high above ~ an artist who speaks from his heart and touches so many. Thank You and I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a brilliant show! Morrissey's voice was amazing and his band was tight as ever and the mix was incredible as well (Hats off to the sound guy).
My main question to you all is...anybody hip to some of the music that was being played between sets? There was some clever tunes being played, so if you knew a song or two please pass on any info.

G

This sounds like a celebration of Morrisseys life. It sounds unsurpassed by even Morrisseys standards. My oh my just to see him in a preists outfit would be wonderous and mouth wateringly delicious, oh waht I could do to him in that overtly sexual uniform, I could write a book, so yummy and in control, the power, the sexuality! I have printed off one of the priest pictures and framed it, its better than most I have on my walls of him, (expet the topless ones) I am still drooling at the whole thing.

Sounds like Morrissey pulled out all the stops for this show...the comments by the people who were there are by far the most passionate of any on this recent tour...

Still, Come Back To Camden lies lurking behind the rocks...his final single?

It was pure bliss. It was all I had expected and more. He looked at me and read the shirt I had made for him and said "true, true." This may sound stupid as hell, but he knows that I am alive and that his music means something to me, and even if I didn't get to touch him or get on stage - that fact made all the bruises this morning worthwhile. My friends were luckier than I was - two of them got on stage, and the was the proud owner of the sign that read "Last Night I Dreamnt Morrissey loved me" I have to thank the most amazing girls ever - Nathalie and Nydia (spelling?) they let me get on the rail and boosted me up to let him see the shirt. Those girls embodied everything that makes a concert experience amazing. The whole night was glorious. Morrissey, you are home. Los Angeles welcomes you with open arms.

-H

All this sounds very much to me like a bow out. Please no!! Oh well, I'm going to see him in Dublin for the first time. I pray it won't be the last.

I have been to 6 or 7 morrissey concerts and this one really rankes up there with all of them . From throwing his shirt after rubbing his crotch with it to 3 encores morrissey rocked the amphitheatre. See u there tonight moz fans.

What did the sign say that he grabbed from the audience?

If you could not make it last night, do whatever it takes to be there tonight. Los Angeles you are too hot.

Late afternoon, dreaming hotel
We just had the quarrel that sent you away.
I was looking for you, are you gone gone ?
Called you on the phone, another dimension.
Well, you never returned, oh you know what I mean.
I went looking for you, are you gone, gone ?
Down by the ocean it was so dismal,
Women all standing with a shock on their faces.
Sad description, oh I was looking for you.

Everyone was singing, girl is washed up
On Redondo Beach and everyone is so sad.
I was looking for you, are you gone gone ?
Pretty little girl, everyone cried.
She was the victim of sweet suicide.
I went looking for you, are you gone gone ?

Down by the ocean it was so dismal,
Women all standing with shock on their faces.
Sad description, oh I was looking for you.

Desk clerk told me girl was washed up,
Was small, an angel with apple blonde hair, now.
I went looking for you, are you gone gone ?
Picked up my key, didn't reply.
Went to my room, started to cry.
You were small, an angel, are you gone gone ?

Down by the ocean it was so dismal.
I was just standing with shock on my face.
The hearse pulled away, and the girl that had died, it was you.
You'll never return into my arms 'cause you were gone gone.
Never return into my arms 'cause you were gone gone.
Gone gone, gone gone, good-bye.

First I like to say the following:
thire is:
audio video and some good shoots. Thire were two guys w/ digital cameras in the pit area as well as disposal ones. And congrats to the guy w/the sing in the pit area as well as the 2 girls that made it to "The Man".

were the mezzanine ticket holders allowed in the orchestra seating?

Another thing that I don't know if got mentioned here was that he said something about this being a song that get's played a lot on Jonsey's Jukebox on Iindie 103.1(I don't remember which song it was, sorry), and everyoned cheered loudly. He then said something like "God bless hin" or something like that. Guess he could not mention that until the kroq thing was over with? One of the best shows I have seen now, and I was so happy for my friends(you know who you are) that made it up there for the first time ever, during the encore. You guys were making me want to cry. Amazing experience. He took my letter, so I was satisfied. Can't for tonight and tommorrow.

Sharron Needles-logging in from an undisclosed location... :)

Wow thats it. jk Great show Morrissey made us wait a lil long the anticipation was killing me. I was gettign anxious and sweaty and as soon as the Morrissey lights came on a ROAR came about and Morrissey walked out looking bashful and blushing he seemed a bit overwhelmed from the crowds cheer. Well during the course of the show i noticed he didnt even come to the left stages as much as he did to the right of the stage i was mad i was trying to show him my tattoo ( a Portrait of him ) but he didnt look my way :( i was behind two girls who did nothing but stand there and take up space and sing along under there breath very boring. anyways ill be going again tonight but in the seats not PIT :( oh well maybe next time ill get him to notice me :\

This is a broad question, but are there any spoken (or unspoken of) parties after the final show in Vegas? I hope there's something, because my pal and I would love to continue the Morrisseyness of the night. I'd love to get together with fans after the show to gush about it; doing this makes is less anticlimactic!

Ta,
Lau

but he is still GAY!!!!

The best things about tonight were:

3 encores

The comment where he said, "The only thing better than Mexicans in Mexico is Mexicans in Los Angeles" was greeted rapturously where I was standing.

The shirt throwing antics were amusing and the set-list was great again.

Patti Smith's cover was good.

Daddy's Voice back in the set-list.

I met a very handsome American called Brad who showed great hospitality. Thanks Brad!

Oh and the sound was crappy - but it didn't matter because Moz and the band were fearsome.

things not yet mentioned:

-moz singing 'steven patrick' in place of some lyrics during 'now my heart is full'

-calling the microphone 'his best friend, his only friend'

-telling the crowd to 'shut up' or something similar while he was introducing julia.

so much more, it was an amazing experience. i wish i had pit tickets for tonight as well!!

That was the best Morrissey show ever...He was stunning, as usual, and was extremely talkative. Thank God somebody had the balls to finally give Jonesy's Jukebox the credit it deserves. KROQ is worthless. Steve Jones plays the best music this town has seen in years, and tons of Morrissey and the Smiths...If you don't listen then you are insane... See you all in Vegas...

This was my 2nd Morrissey show and the backdrop was kickass. My 1st was at the Wiltern a few months ago. But by all means, the most wonderful show was The Smiths in 1984 at the Hollywood Paladium, I was a young lad at 21.

AlfredtheBruiser

luckily i just got pit tickets 6 hours before show time. yippy. moz we are too hot

But Moz sneaked a couple of lines of "The More You Ignore, The Closer I Get" towards the end of "My Heart is Full".

Did anyone else notice that?

Right, then. Its Morrisseys LAST L.A. show for quite some time to come. I say we ALL unite and give them security guards a run for their money. for all you lucky twats that got pit tix I better see atleast 50 of you fuckers up on stage!! I'll see you all tonight up there from the nosebleed seats.

By the pictures I've seen at the page some fellow named Mud, I guess, posted a link to, it appears he was wearing a crucifix.
Am I seeing things?

Can hardly wait to see the "IHFJ" vid.

WTF? is he still on that whole chatting with Julia kick he was on on the other leg of the world tour??? WTF's up with that?
