I would really like to see him drop this version of First of the gang, especially as an encore. It is far too light and airy-fairy and does zero justice to the song. What a letdown followup to What she said.

I thought so too, doesn't have the power it requires
 
Anyone care to explain what the everloving f*** was up with security? f***ing bodyslamming people? Really? Jesus christ. 5' female, dared get my knees up on the stage and was menaced in less than half a second.

That aside, great gig! Looking beautiful and sounding lovely, far better than I'd ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Hanover wasn't a terrible venue, great for stagehopping if the guards weren't brutalising everyone. Magnificent merch, the pre-show video was ever tedious, past a point it just stops building excitement. What She Said was amazing, First of the Gang was definitely lackluster, should've switched up which one he ended with. Got loads of clips from the front. Will be uploading soon, here's a couple of favourites.

just the origanal version,Gustavo is a great musicaian but to sing in spanish, think Morrissey want it to gave it a spanish
touch, because the song is about latino/hispanic gangmember.[or is it speedway when Gustavo's singin?!]

'and they say he's mentall'...'crashing bores' must stay in his setlist, well He has about 30 songs for the tour, and 6 to 8 are on not this gig but maybe next gig, Alma Matters is new this tour...

Terrific show. The band seem to be loose. I've read the mixed 'reviews' of the Speedway breakdown, but to see it in person it was much more endearing. Had no one mentioned Boz playing drums? Morrissey sounds like he's really worked with someone on his voice, it's stronger than past tours. I agree the "First of the Gang" arrangement is lacking, particularly as an encore. Great set list, despite only two smiths song, and one being MIM. Highlights: Ganglord, Bores, Alma, Kiss Me Alot.
p.s. what on earth is the second song in the video intro? It seemed really out of place but there must be a story to it.

Morrissey and band were still at the top of their game. Great switch out of Kiss the Bride (which has gotten so much stronger since its debut in Boston last year!) and Alma Matters.

All the video you see of the rough handling on stage was just a reflection of what was going on in the pit. Hanover needs to get its act together. There was ONE venue security in the pit and he didn't give a rat's ass what was going on, except he was afraid of what turned out to be his boss, some un-uniformed half-wit we all thought was a street person, who made us all sit in our rightful seats before the lights went down. There was no barrier (physical or human) between regular seats and the pit, so those not in AA or BB were lining up at the openings to storm the pit once the show started, and they did. All of the love and camaraderie in Philly was completely gone, the vibe was carnivorous, each man for himself, no holds barred. For me it was wholly unenjoyable trying to maintain the spot I paid for while neophyte "this is my first show" screamers tried to wedge their way between me and the stage. I'm sure if you're one of the ones who were in Row K but ended up right behind me and tried to climb over me all night, you're psyched, but you were a major pain in my ass all night. So much for the love from my hometown crowd.

There were five over-60s in Row AA dead center, who I think quickly fled for higher ground, or they're lying trampled there this morning. We never saw them once Lypsynca came on.

Onward MSG and then Akron, where hopefully they know their pit sh*t.
 
im glad they let the pit be a free for all there is no need for a few 65 year olds who cant stand to be fron and center seated at what is still a "rock concert" if they could get front row they could have got front row balcony and sat and enjoyed.

I think the crowd was great and loved the people I was around. I had row AA and just walked forward and boom crowded in with a bunch of enjoyable people

also I think the video for ganglord is incredibly relevant

If you legitimately had AA you didn't have to walk anywhere, you were already at the stage, with me.
 
The guy in the red shirt yelling at the pit people standing at the stage was an asshole. I laughed so hard when the lights went out and we all charged the stage. He even threatened to make us sit for the whole show.

The kid and his dad wearing the shirts from last year's cursed tour were awful. Don't stand at the stage right in front of Morrissey if you are going to stand there still the entire time and go on Facebook when you're bored.
