This Charming Bowie
Welcome to this knockabout world
Since we're in the midst of a fantastic run of UK dates at the moment (just over a week to go until I see him!), I thought this would be a fun bit of conjecture.
What are your favourite/least favourite songs Morrissey has chosen for his show openers throughout the years? Off the top of my head, I think that the recent placement of "We Hate It..." as the opening number was inspired, and some of the Smiths surprises like "I Want the One I Can't Have" in 2011 also worked really well.
On the flipside, something like "You'll Be Gone" - which he opened with in 2020 - while a solid cover, isn't really the high-intensity lead-off that gets the crowd going in my view.
I'd be interested to hear what everyone thinks, and also potentially what songs people would choose that haven't been played first as of yet.
