So, my very first Morrissey gig, I was looking for it for so long and now it is finally over. What a strange feeling...
Morrissey's voice was great, no trace of any problem. He was in a very good mood and very energetic. He learned some words in Russian like "privet' and 'spasibo'
.
- (introducing the band) '...and I am... from hell!'
- Even if you don't understand the words, you can understand the feelings...
- (before GF in a Coma) "if you don't know the words it's ok cause neither do I' (?) or smt similar...
Some things he said between songs I couldn't understand because of sound quality...
Intro music was different\new (??)
Setlist was posted already... I hoped to hear Seasick but he didn't play it... I wish there would be a few slower songs but I won't complain
the keybordist wore a red tshirt with 'CCCP' on it
Some flowers were thrown on stage...
no stage invaders but it would be impossible I think, the barrier and the stage were too high and the security were everpresent... No photos sadly. I had a good spot at the barrier, right side of the stage (girl with dark curly hair, small, red tshirt
) but the security were very strict about "no photo" ... The few brave souls who tried to take photos ended with their cameras being removed... But I still hope some pics surface with time...
Two shirts were thrown to the crowd, a violet\purple one and a white one. I wonder who got them.
...and now I finally know what legendary Julia looks like
There was an after-party I think but I didn't go... my back and my legs were killing me... God I suddenly feel old (and I'm not!)
that's all for now... maybe more memories surface, it's all still too fresh in my mind. Sorry for my English, I'm in a hurry at Internet-cafe
.
now I'm off to see the Hermitage!
