In Response To: "Manana, will it really come?" (West Coaster)

After reading some of these posts I instantly became very bitter and envious! Err, happy for Moz Angeles - but I'm dying a slow death in texas!

> Just some thoughts to add to the rest:

> Morrissey comes onto stage to the James Bond type music.
> Backdrop is lit with the words MOZ ANGELES.

> The version of "Swallow" seemed to be souped up
> (sounded a bit more edgey . . . I liked it).

> The semi acoustic and bongo versions of "Now My Heart"
> and "Boxers" were excellent.

> On "Tomorrow" not only did he say that "This song
> is called 'Manana'", but he started the song with the words
> "Manana, will it really come?".

> I believe he also yelled "Hermanos!" (Brothers and
> Sisters!)to the crowd after "Ouija".

> During one song Moz actually picked up a cup of beer out of the
> pit, took a sip, and then handed it back. I've never seen him do
> that before. (Indicative of the whole night?)
> Morrissey seemed very frustrated throughout the show with the
> sound. He constantly complained that "I hope it sounds good
> to you, because from up here it sounds awful." In several
> songs he stopped singing as the band continued playing. He would
> then catch up with the band later in the songs, and during
> "November" while the crowd was chanting the lyrics
> Morrissey stopped to complain "Oh my God, I've forgot the
> words". Even with all of the sound problems, MOZ
> compensated with his extremely gracious attitude to the crowd.

> The crowd was "well behaved" and stood the entire
> concert (it was a seated event not GA). Before the encore of
> "Last Night" Moz told the crowd something like
> "You think that it is us that gives so much to you, but
> really it is you that gives so much to us." As he exited
> the stage (with the band still playing) he gave heartfelt thanks
> about 10 times before running off.

> What a treat to see such a showman! Even with the many
> frustrations of the night, his age and seemingly tired body, I
> really felt like he gave us a great performance. And again, I
> felt like the crowd was really appreciative and loud.

> There is a lot more that can be said, but I'll let others say
> it.
> Chau!
