Vegas today

10:03 AM

On my way to Vegas, to the same venue Morrissey started the tour with back in April. That seems like years ago. Someone asked me yesterday what my favorite shows have been and I couldn't think of a specific one as there are many. The second Vegas show in 2002 came to mind today. What makes a show great? I don't know, they all seem pretty good to me. I look for intensity from Morrissey and also in the fans as the main factors. Thurs. night at the Universal was one of those nights also.

I have talked to some people that have not been able to make it to all of these shows and ticket prices are definitely a factor. The Vegas show is $72 + $10.50 convenience charge and I think there is also some other service charge. I remember back in 1990, someone thought I was nuts for paying $50 for a general admission Stone Roses show from a ticket agency. The concert had sold out within a few minutes but it was cancelled later and I got my money back.

  • I'm really regretting not flying out for these last 3 shows! With my breakup with Z, the thought of flying to LA was/is just too much. It's too fresh a wound. It makes me sad that the whole gang is together and I'm missing seeing everybody and hanging out. I'm also really feeling sick that Morrissey won't be touring again. I can't begin to explain how much I enjoy the shows but I think you know. M called me during 'I'm Playing Easy To Get' last night and I nearly booked an early flight for Vegas on the spot. I hope you guys get the show of a lifetime tonight. I'm there in spirit!

    Aww David It was a pleasure to see you really...
    But what I feel I have to do is get a room next time I do something like this..
    You see the drive to the show was a nightmare for me..It took me 3 1/2 half hours to get there..... and I only usually take 1 1/2 to get over that area. Plus I would have liked to get together with you all toward that way... Anyhow I did Get to see Elvira & David her boyfriend, Oh! I wonder if you will see her!

  • Just found your journal - excellent to read your "Q & A" and very glad to read that you are making yourself more visible on this site- you really deserve more recognition for a fine tribute to Morrissey here that has brought literally millions of fans so much info over the years. Well with the tour over here in the U.S. and Morrissey's future unceratin I may not see you at a show again- or for a long while at least. I always enjoyed seeing your familar face and chatting at the shows in places like Las Vega$, Moz Angeles, and of course the amazing Manchester gig! The pleasure, the priveledge was mine ;^)

    THANX.

    Best,

  • I sent you an e-mail about some artwork about 5 days ago, and wonder what's happening on your end, if it's an e-mail virus of mine or yours or both. I wonder if you received the mail and 4 photos.

  • Hey David. Good to see you again this past weekend, if only briefly. Did you enjoy Vegas? We did immensely. It was an especially hard show for a lot of us as well. With all the specualtion that has been going on as of late, it was pretty tense and emotional night. What do you think about all of the rumors about this being the last tour and all? I don't really know myself what to think, but with all of the comments he has been making on stage starting at the beginning of the US leg, it has gotten me(and a lot of the others) sort of worried. Of course we all know that the time will eventually come, but is this it? It's hard to imagine or want to believe it, but he's not getting any younger, and neither are we. Saturday night was actually really difficult for me personally, as well as some of the other 'irregualar regulars.' The show was really good and all of us that were up in the front were really feeling it. There were times when I would look down the barrier during the show, and see all of the faces I know, crying, it was almost too much to take. Of course we don't know for sure if that will be the last show he will play in the US, but just the thought of it, and the fact that there are a lot of us that possibly might not see each other again, nor see Moz again is a hard thought to fathom. Aftre the show, many of us were(and still are) a wreck. There was a lot of crying and emotion. It's a strange thought how I'm so much older now than the first time I saw him live in 91. It's strange how myself and a lot of the others I know have spent the time since then looking forward to everytime he goes on tour, and the craziness of going to many shows as possible, etc. Even when he(or some of ourselves) would take a few years inbetween tours. We would look forward to the next one. Now the reality that there may not be a next one is well, difficult. I know I am just speculating, but it's hard not to. I really hope I am wrong. It's been a long, strange trip to say the least, without trying to sound being too cheesy and cliched. It's hard to imagine him bowing out now, right after landing a record deal, his most successful album to date, and huge tour, and many more unheard songs. But it's also believable that he may want to end it on a high note, and focus on something else, like his new label, etc. I sure hope I'm wrong.... One more album at the least will give me some comfort. Or will it make it more difficult? Fuck! See, sometimes this is why it sucks to be a Morrissey fan.

    • Sharron,
              Your note to David touched me. No matter what happens, we will Always have Morrissey. I don't know what else to say, really. I wouldn't consider myself an 'irregular regular' but I am a very devout fan. I feel what your feeling as well. Just tought I'd let you know. If it is the end, I'm hoping for Morrissey's Autobiography as the last word in the story that is ever-so beautifully told. From 1982 til' now. My God. The best thing ever to happen to us, the Morrissey story. So inspiring, so sad, but so fascinating. And to think...people don't even know or like Morrissey. I'm proud to say I 'know' the Morrissey story well and I'm better off for it. The L.A. show was my last for now, and possibly forever, and I have to say, it was a Heavenly and Perfect ending for me. Til' the last drop. All I hope for now, if it truly is the end...I hope Morrissey and I and all of us can meet up in Hell for a nice warm cup of tea. Thank You for sharing your personal thoughts, I appreciated it. And as for David, we owe him so much. Thank you too, David.
