Best live experiences

[swiss]

I was thinking about this driving back from an appointment on the M6 today whilst listening to Vauxhall. I was wondering if anything in the new tour will blow me away like in the past.
I have attended 10 gigs now and there have been so many memorable songs played.

Highlights for me

Smiths songs

Shoplifters - Chester Northgate Arena 1997
Meat is Murder - Liverpool Royal Court 1999
Hand in Glove - Blackburn 2002
How Soon is now - Blackpool Empress ballroom 2004
Theres a light - Blackburn 2002

Moz songs

Billy Budd - Chester 1997
Suedehead - Blackburn 2002
Speedway - Liverpool 1999
National Front Disco - Gmex 2006
November - Blackpool 2004
The Loop - Roundhouse 2008

Thoughts?

If I saw him sing 'There Is A Light...' I could die after the song ends and I'd die happy. I've been to five gigs and they've never played it.

Saturday 18th December 2004 - Earls Court....'Last Night I Dreamt' THE most moving and beautiful rendition of this song....I cried and a lot of us were convinced Moz cried too

I've been to shows going as far back as 92, though the gigs in 2004 @ Apollo in NY were probably my favorite. The staff were so awesome, the vibe was mint and I got on stage, albeit briefly.

I can't believe there isn't any footage from those shows anywhere.

Mabe because people were too busy enjoying the shows to record them.

Quiet, you!

 

[modrevolve]

there are bootlegs videos of the 5/3 and 5/8 shows at the Apollo..shot from the Balcony though and heads in the way at times..but some good close-ups.

which show did you get on stage?

i loved when he did national front disco live, i would just die of happiness if he did suedehead live.

 

[travelcard]

i wouldnt say best, but one of the funniest live moments i certainly recall is moz's stage farewell in the middle of Panic.. lol, everybody's was like "WTF?".

 

[Stoned]

London Palladium , 2nd date.
Had a truly great seat, will never ever forget
Cheers Moz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sweet and tender hooligan]

Only been to 4 so far tears but here are mine:

Glasgow 2004-How soon is Now?
Stirling 2006- Still ill
Glasgow 2006- National front Disco
Edinburgh 2008- I'm throwing my arms around Paris

 

[Stoned]

There have been so many, just a shame not enough official DVD released.
I think that it is a real SHAME that LIVE AT THE HOLLIWOOD BOWL is not getting a release, let s wait and see....
Cheers Moz

stretch out and wait on roundhouse, edinurgh and hyde park --very emotional-.....incredibly touching tohear it live

..but tht belongs to another thread;-)

 

[Walkers Crisp]

"Now My Heart Is Full" played as an encore in Brussels August 2006 was a very emotional moment for me.

Yes, that was emotional. I was glad I had a seated ticket to that gig or else I would've collapsed right then and there when he said:

"Don't forget me, I love you, good bye..."


Another brilliant moment for me was Panic being the opening song on the final Palladium date in London May '06.

 

[Brel]

There have been so many over the years, where do you start?

Wembley Arena 1991 "Yes, I am Blind"

Manchester G-Mex 1986 "There is a Light..."

Leicester De-Montfort Hall 1991 "Interesting Drug"

Blackpool Empress 95 "Boxers"

and many many more...
