[TheSmiths_1985]

If he’s sounding rough and disinterested now, there’s no way he’s going to finish the UK tour.

 

[Light Housework]

IBEH

 

[Lils2010]

Was my first concert, dunno why people are complaining, morrissey sounded like morrissey and setlist had enough hits (even notre dame sounded good, minus the lyrics)

 

[Marsadjusted]

Any idea what the t shirt is all about? At first I thought it was a football shirt but I can't seem to find an Israeli team that matches it.

 

[gordyboy9]

Oi…. I have a splendid taste in ladies
Knickers…. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

is that the edible ones baz.

 

[Olec night]

Upon further inspection, this setlist is completely one’s fault. The musical director J. Tobias. He lacks any true leadership in this band. When confronted with challenges he just resorts to what he knows. This could have been a sensational start to a new tour but alas fate has given us this mediocre performance. Alain is gone because of you know who. Jealous little Tobias got hurt he wasn’t getting the loud cheers as Alain was. You could see and feel the fire lit back into Morrissey when Alain was there.

Get the cancer out and you’ll see Morrissey in his truest form once again. We don’t need Morrissey drinking every time Tobias is around. Perhaps this is why we are getting our Poet in such distress lyrically nowadays. We don’t want him to fade into oblivion, but with Tobias by his side he is surely doomed.

I think the one drinking here is you. Little jealous person of Tobias. Nobody tells Morrissey what do or play. He is his own person. Go with Alain.. what are you doing here bitching about . We don't need you !

 

[Light Housework]

The change of song for the encore may have something to do with the riots in France. Singing about a 3 bar fire and that it's okay wouldn't be in good taste right now.

 

[Barking]

Jesus wept, is that what passes for wit in Tel Aviv?

I'd wipe that smug smirk off your face, young man, for making fun of the death of little old ladies. It wouldn't even have been funny ten months ago.

When people are dying left and centre and somebody is singing a sh!t song, nobody is going to turn to you for comic relief, that's for sure.

( yes I'm done. )

It is a football shirt. Maccabi tel aviv just appointed Robbie Keane, mozs cousin as their manager. That's his gesture

and he did Sure Enough, The Telephone Rings because BT have just fixed my line

So I found it, turns out it's the team that Robbie Keane is managing.

This idiot kept raising his stupid sign for three songs straight, of course fully blocking moz from me

No, I think there’s a quota of 4-5 smiths songs per set, and morrissey had already played 5 by this point

I can't zoom right in close enough on my phone, but there's some marker pen writing on the shirt. Words I can kinda make out looks like:
Morrissey
Bow!
Kneel!

Theres other words on the shirt to the left of mic stand but can't make them out.

Lighty, I luff you, you know I do, but was Morrissey ever in good taste? Is there a Canadian gentleman with impeccable manners by the same name?
Are we EVER talking about the same Morrissey?
Nobody here has the same Morrissey, it's frankly bizarre, folks.

 

[Phranc & Open]

Did he introduce the band/girls?

 

[hurling]

When I first saw this pic (I wasn't 100% focused, I must add) - I thought I saw the hair and facial expression of Robert Smith. My bad!

 

[Les Tameside]

Woah, voice sounds really rough. Maybe only on the snippets I saw but he sounds rough there.

That’s no exaggeration: he does seem to be really struggling.

 

[Barking]

just watching the news - cant see this gig going ahead!

Can't see M stopping for anyone or anything. He's got a silly song to sing and by God he's going to sing it!!!

He's totally immune to world events. He's like Rainman crossing a minefield, blissfully unaware as everybody around him dies.
Looks like some of his fans are like that too...Is this guy with the glasses really good at maths, I wonder...

It's a wonder to behold.
you could be assaulted on a bus right next to them, they'd just moan about the air con. Rocking back and forth in their seats.

 

[Mozzer1980]

Apocalypse Now !

 

[Was I ever any good]

is that the edible ones baz.

Marks and Spencer’s…. Obviously
