Even Jimmy referenced the ton of people on top of the parking structure!
Change in FOTGTD "Silverlake Resevoir."
After the first tow songs: "The cameras are off, now its just us. You can stop smiling."
He looked only slightly uncomfortable, not as carefree as Pasadena, but better than most tv appearances.
Lots of greasers, and some real weirdos. That guy holding up the pink rose for every single song in front of us was really pathetic.

as for morrissey's performance - well, it's just a gentle reminder of how truly uninspiring ROTT was. simply put, it's a mediocre album. here's hoping his next includes two things ROTT misses - great melodies and interesting lyrics.

This performance drove home the fact that ROTT is truly sub par album. Of course, the Morrissey cult, which is much like the Scientology cult, will make sure that my thoughts are recorded and provided to the proper authorities.

some quick impressions (Score:2, Informative)
Played Boy 'Appy, First of the Gang (used as outro, you will only hear half of it on the broadcast but supposedly you can see it in its entirety on the website), Disappointed, All You Need Is Me (New song!!!!), and Gang Lawd.
Changed First Uv lyrics slightly with a nod to the nearby hipster town of Silverlake ("You have never loved until you've seen the stars reflect in the Silverlake resevoirs").
Moz came out to enthusiastic applause and cheering ("Welcome to the world of TV tapings" or some such greeting), but while waiting around to begin, he was awkward and after a while just embarrassedly stepped off to the side of the
stage (my side, Boz's side) and watched the screen showing some kind of orange juice making machine some uni students made - was kinda lame, the machine, not Moz.
Moz kept announcing that he'd like us to come to Stockton. Only a handful of people cheered about Stockton. THen Morrissey dismissed it by saying nobody's going to Stockton because it's too far. I guess I'm nobody because I'm going to Stockton.
It was cute to see Moz look a little awkward, and the taping was quick 'n' dirty, unlike Jools Holland where they did retake after retake. BUt I
got to see Moz get his face powdered and th'Lads looking visibly bored @ Jools Holland.
The new song was very witty and the best he's done in years. "All You Need Is Me" is brilliant because of the lyrics -- the thing that formerly sunk much of ROTT into subpar territory.
Some especially memorable lyrics from "All You Need Is Me":
You don't like me, but you love me
Either way, you're wrong
There's a naked man laughing at you in your dreams
And you're scared because you know what it means
(There's a similar couplet earlier that implies the naked man in your dreams is Morrissey -- that's just how I read it. YMMV)
I saw lots of people with camera phones even though those were banned and we went through a metal detector prior to being let in, so a recording of it should surface soon.
Moz threw his tie out into the audience, something he's never done before. I like his ties! Even more than his shirts. He also threw out his shirt at the end, which predictably caused a violent melée that lasted well beyond 10 minutes.
I liked how after he did the first two songs (the ones that get aired), he joked that we didn't have to smile anymore because the cameras were
no longer on us and that we were on our own. It was more like a concert and less like a tv taping. The only thing is that the stage was too far to hope to get a chance to shake his hand. And nobody tried to get onstage. But I was really happy. It's really unnatural, this state of happiness.
Speaking of happiness (the fave thing I've seen written on the bass drum), in the morning the bass
drum had a cover of white with black lettering of "PIGSTY", but by the afternoon, it was changed to a blue background and white lettering (I
think) of ART SUFFER (top), ENGLAND HATRED (bottom)

Watching it live, and watching it on tv, is of little consequence. Of course some people will feel more infused by the atmosphere because they are in the audience, and some dopamine was released, but the song itself aired unchanged from the live performance, and I thought it was utter shit. he looked like shit too. Does he even care about his appearance any more? Age is no excuse. He needs an intervention.
Morrissey is currently writing in a paint by numbers format. If you don't believe that there are slew of other artists out there who are writing much more interesting music than what Morrissey produced on his last album, then you are the stereotype. Have fun with your vacant life. It will grow old at around age 30.
There's no need to descend on everyone who disagrees with you.

I took several pix of both lines - the main line and the True-To-You guest list line. I did not see Julia tonight- very odd!
They did not allow cameras into the show so the pix I have of the performance are grainy video still shots from my television.

What's the point? (Score:0)
Those persons who dare open up with their honest observations are fodder for cheap shots, crude comments, and incendiary death chants (what is the fascination with arson, anyway?).
Face it, Morrissey is not aging gracefully. The lack of oversight over the broadcast quality, while clearly not his fault, suggests that he doesn't even care.
I'll be the first to stand up and say that Morrissey has a unique and powerful vocal prowess. But last night, whoa! Was he experimenting with his voice, or was the audio REALLY that bad? Whether it was a weight gain, a poor choice of wardrobe, or the "TV cameras", he looked fat and bloated. The only mystery left is whether is hairline will recede faster than his ability to continue putting on great live shows.
ROTT bombed in the US, and any suggestion that the upcoming tour is still pimping the "new" album (Jimmy Kimmel cracked me up with that one) makes my skin crawl. Nevertheless, I'll be at my local show hoping (and praying) that last night's TV appearance was not indicative of how things will be on the road.
All I ask is that the legions of hard-core posters on this site be open to the fact that there are "fans" and there are "fans", and oh yeah, there are "fans". We are all entitled to our own opinions, and sometimes we build up the courage to post them.
GROW UP.
Jimmy Kinnel Not A-Live From TV (Score:1)
This is what I saw (endured) from here (front of TV screen):
1. A cone-head, bald-headed guy who talked and looked like humpty-dumpty. The only funny thing he (involontarily) said was that there was an old Italian lady who stole everbody's place in a line and walked in front of everyone, and began to curse everybody. The rest I can't remember, for I was too excited to see Morrissey, and plus I was munching a bunch of noisy Doritos to withstand the wait.
2. A certain Maria, whose dress was so rolled up her legs that one could almost gaze at her secret entrances, and who said, while the camera boldly displayed her entrance, she used to be "a sausage vendor" before being an actress. Interesting background...
3. Jimmy finally lets Morrissey in (my bag of Doritos was nearly empty by then), and lets him sing "I Just Want To See The Boy Happy". The band played terrifically, but from the TV it sounded like they put clothes on Morrissey's voice and Mikey's trumpet. I expected the crowd to scream and jump, like a bunch of teenny cheerleaders, but I forgot for a while we are all, for the most part, a little too old for that. But the Latinos, on the other hand, don't care, so they were doing plenty of cheerleading in the front. Still, from the TV, the crowd seemed like a bunch of those dummies you put in cars to test them on car crashes.
4. No interview with Morrissey, not even a complement made by Jimmy to him, and Jimmy Canine, who has a hair style that resembles a torn black helmet, goes back to the side of the stage to keep on chatting with the ex-sausage vendor and
the cone-head guy.
5. Morrissey has his glittering blazer off now, and starts sining FOTGTD. He barely finishes the first phrase of the song, when commercial brakes kick in, showing a cartoon with a donkey doing ehh-ooohhnn instead.
I have no idea how the live version was better after this, but I believe it! Nothing can be worse than this! I have watched recorded appearances of Moz in David Letterman and in Craig Kilborn - and they all were kick-asses!
