Ssssh. You're not allowed to say that. It's too close to the truth. It was a complete sellout. Everything He touches turns to gold. He's even cured himself of cancer.

The show was fantastic.
The upper circle was not empty, from where I was on the floor the left upper circle was damn near full, even in restricted view sections....unless of course the o2 staff dresssed up inflatables to create the illusion of it being full. They probably brought in some of the ones you use on a regular basis.
Honestly, as a devout "Morrissey Appeaser" I can only sit here with a sustained grin of contentment at tonight's show, whereas you are coming across as a monumental c***.

Such a good show, a packed O2 for Moz is a sight to behold. Great crowd, great set list, the best I've ever seen him live.

Great reception for Boz in his home town as well.

Loved every minute of it.

Wow... This is not even funny. Not even your fellow psychos will laugh at this. This is just scary. Honestly, to even think of these things, let alone typing them down, suggests you're actually quite...unwell. And I'm not trying to be humorous or rude or anything. I honestly think you have some serious issues. This is not healthy behaviour, saying/thinking/planning these things.

Er. Forgive the obvious, but "welcome" to this site. The home of the wild and foolish..... and the un-moderated.


On a more serious note, WHAT a FANTASTIC setlist. Well done Morrissey for even attempting the O2 Arena.

And some great photos. Thanks for posting !

You know what Barley I am a tough guy, you would run a mile if you met me. PM me and I would be happy to meet up weasel

Oh leave JB alone, at least he's consistent. Makes him easier to ignore. If he mixed it up and expressed some appreciation once in a while people might consider his criticisms. He's his own worst enemy and it probably extends to his real life so let him have his gripe here. Morrissey doesn't give a shit.

Oh so it's ok to have thoughts of a prime minister on guillotine and say when will you die ?
Slag off a pregnant lady
Slag off my Royal Family
Slag off my Country
Dodge Tax
Dictate what I put in my mouth
Promote graffiti
Etc etc etc

Do me a favour f*** off and die, what comes around goes around

I got kicked out by his heavies, they had a photo of me on their i-pads
I did manage to get a refund though so that's good
I had four black puddings in my groin and I planned to throw them at him during meat is tasty.
It's a blip I'll be be back for Queen and country
f*** you Tosserrey, you got lucky tonite you silly old cancerous c***, when will you die ?

I got kicked out by his heavies,

Good grief... you are a farce of a human being. It's obvious to everyone that you're the stereotypical friendless buffoon who thinks he's an online personality, so clearly you were nowhere near the 02 tonight.

 

[LizSK2]

f***ing amazing. If you didn't like that gig - f*** off and get off this site. He gave everything. His voice has never sounded better. He did a whole new album and the crowd didn't seem to mind. He started with TQID and had a pic of the Queen giving the finger - people have been sent to the Tower for less.

Meat is Murder is still SO f***ing powerful. Trouble Loves Me was majestic. My 14th Moz show. How long will I have to wait to feel like this again? I love him so much, flaws and all.

Johnny Barleycorn, please stop hijacking post-show thread.

Tonight's show was really excellent.

Yes, I saw many people in upper circle.

After "Trouble Loves Me" Morrissey introduced the band members.
I'm so pleased that he introduced Boz as "Boz Boorer from Balls Pond Road" because it's just few minutes walk where I live.


At the end of Speedway if my eyes were right, M23 was briefly pulled out and got a hand shake.
During the silence part of Speedway, people made a lot of noise, so he didn't recite anything.
Congratulations to someone who managed to throw a portrait on stage.

The setlist was mainly from World Peace Is None of Your Business because Morrissey is not a nostalgia act.
He is touring for promoting his latest work.

Also Anna Calvi was fantastic.
Really enjoyed her set.

double mega lol.
aggrieved Moz humasexual follower attacks punter with a blue orchid.venue only two thirds full. so will say the headlines.

I don't really like the new album myself and wish he had played a lot more classics, and I don't mean Smiths by that, I think Morrissey has some great solo hits. Compared to the shows I see him do back in 2011 at Glastonbury and Hop Farm they were a lot more fan-friendly shows.
Having said that his voice sounded great and the encore was very moving, The Queen Is Dead and Suedehead were also great set openers.

talking about crowds and packed theaters...
..and people hanging out on the cliffs around..
2 years ago ?
2 years after , anytime.
he could announce a one-minute appearance and the same crowd would fill the place just to be there at the same place where he or what he signifies would be .
it's not about music ,
it's not even about morrissey
it' s about life running like time.

My mates said his voice was excellent. Can't believe I didn't go but I'm in work. I'll be there Monday though. Can't wait.

As others have said he is not a nostalgia act and I believe he and the band are quite proud of World Peace so why not sing and play it out loud?

Johnny and Benny must have a disticnt lack of a life to be sat on their computers/ tablets/ phones on a Saturday night no doubt with their members out waiting to troll this website as soon as the gig finished and then going onto X-Hamster to look at tranny porn

It is a rather sad existence, depsite me finding a lot of their contributions mildly amusing and pertinent.

At least I've got an excuse.

 

[Mozza220559]

Did the wankers on the front row need a Leica telescope to see the band? You're best off spending £20 seeing The Fall

Too much of the new album which at best is very average and not enough of the back catalogue - The show started fantastic and finished fantastic - The bit in the middle dragged a bit....

The thread is 4 f***ing pages long and almost NO information on the actual show? Just low-life assholes bitching around? That's why solow sucks BIG TIME.

This is going to be a very well documented show:
