It was dark. Highlights "Paris", "How Soon Is Now", "Everyday Is Like Sunday". Setlist was same as Singapore however the sequence was moved around. 'What She Said" was a great closer. He was in fine voice and the band were superb.

Just got back. Here in Melbourne for a few days for business and managed to get floor tickets and wiggle up to the 5-6th row. Morrissey was in incredible form. Very chatty. He seemed very happy and thankful to be in Melbourne and said as much. A few good quips, my favorite coming after he sang "You're the One For Me Fatty". He said, "you know that song is about you" and then made a face and said "nasty" or something to that effect. Very funny. His voice was great. The usual setlist--no surprises. Acoustics were good. Band was tight. Was surrounded by a crowd of first timers that had come from Thailand having missed him there. Super elated to have caught this show.

Setlist looked the same as Singapore yeah, although had Hard to Walk Tall When You're Small ... really prefer the up-tempo version of that track .. doesn't quite work as a ballad. Was hoping for Judy is a Punk too .. alas not.

Definitely the weakest setlist of any show I've seen from him in person. He sounded amazing, in fact I think the sound in general at Festering Hall was the best I've heard it. Jack the Ripper with the fog effect was really cool. Fatty is still always fun. He was in good spirits although wasn't too talkative.

Pretty sure the setlist was

Suedehead/Alma Matters/Speedway/Ganglord/How Soon is Now?/Kiss Me A Lot/I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris/Istanbul/World Peace Is None of Your Business/I Will See Your in Far Off Places/All You Need is Me/The Bullfighter Dies/Ouija Board, Ouija Board/It's Hard to Walk Tall When You're Small/Everyday is like Sunday/The World Is Full of Crashing Bores/You Have Killed Me/Meat is Murder/ Encore / What She Said

Order could be a little mixed in the middle

Here's hoping next time he shakes up the setlist a lot more but he seems to really be sticking to this combination at the moment

I reckon it was Crocodile Week this week in Austrialilialia and Steve was going to cancel because there is no singing allowed and he wants to save his voice for the homecoming shows in LA beginning of November. Nancy and lil' Sammy must like something about Austrialililia. I reckon one day I am going to look at this thing called "a globe" and find out where Austrialilialia actually is.

Blikey!, Jake really is moving up the ranks of The Morrissey Marketing Group ltd. PA to Bodyguard and now Driver? Blood Hell. I reckon he will be running the Century City office soon.

How come John Maher looks like Liam Brown or Ian Gallagher or whatever there names are?

Dear Camera, if you are too lazy to even specify, how can I make comparisons between John Maher, (there is more than one), Johnny Marr, Liam Brown, Ian Gallagher or whatever, as you stated?

Do the hard work yourself first.
Mind you, chances are your question would still be unanswerable, but than we would know what you were asking in the first place.
Still, funny question.

The sign of the cross again?

 

[Pomme Bear]

Was Marred there? If so, was he clapping like a seal and bawling his eyes out? Followed by his 'glare'??!

"Fatty" is about us??? I guess he only wants underwear models in the front row. I guess he forgot is demographics.
