Hopefully that was in order, i'm pretty sure that was if my memory serves me correctly, but you never can tell after a few errr ten beers.
As for the performance, it was an excellent show. Moz was in top form as was the band. Brought out the boys, my XR4-TI crew representing. Before the show, me and the boys were wondering what stops Moz was gonna pull out for us this Halloween. Was he going to wear a mask? Or...go "Mozzenstein" like in that painting a couple of days ago? Then I just figured he'd settle with dusting off the pvc suit and going Elvis on us again. Afterall, this was his 'comeback' tour wasn't it?
I was wrong. Moz was decked out in priest gear and his boys were dressed up as nuns. All we needed was Julia as Linda Blair, and we could have had a horror movie. (Sorry Julia, i've stuck up for you before, but I couldn't help myself on that one!) When he first came out, he said that we all had our masks on...then said "Oh, you're not all wearing Halloween masks". The main Moz quote of the night had to be when he told Deano to close his legs - "Didn't they teach you that? Everybody loves a Catholic girl". Don't take me to heart on these quotes, I don't usually post them but he did say something to that effect.
This was practically a free show...literally. They were giving out lawn seat tickets inside the event (try and make sense of that one). About ten minutes before he took the stage they opened up the gates and allowed lawn ticket holders to rush the front. All the drool and running...it was like a scene from 'Dawn of the Dead'. On that note, we did get some stage invaders toward the end. Who said L.A. doesn't have 'riot fan'? There were a few breakouts as security was rough. On that note, aside from all this, people were out to have a good time. We didn't have people standing on the seats...or dancing wildly...or singing along.
I do have to admit, it didn't sound at all like Moz was sick, or had been sick. Like I said before, he was in top form. Great show all the way around except for that long wait to get out. I'm pretty sure we ALL wanted to get back to the city. Any place you see horses tied up at the local diner, you don't want to stick around too long unless you have a trusty 'boomstick' handy. One more thing, looks like Rick James (or was it John Salley?) has been to just about every gas station and pit stop around that area. No joke, any place you stop by around there, and you WILL see autographed pictures. And one of those pics, will be Rick James...or John Salley...couldn't really tell. First time i've seen the 'Morrissey' background ala Elvis. Not too shabby. See you at the Ampitheatre Moz...maybe...hopefully...hell, just make it to at least one of those days?

Moz's voice was superb and he really threw himself into the show....the priest outfit was epic.
Of course, Julia got the obligatory nod, and as he ended the show, he left us with a heartfelt "Keep me in your prayers, Vaya con dios...".
Rough night for stage invaders...one tried a suicide leap from the pit with his buddy's help, but tragically, he ended up face first on the concrete and was taken out post haste.
Two did get on successfully though...one nearly smothered Moz in a hug and the other made good time to get a handshake from moz before being carted off stage.
Overall, after seeing Moz four times previously, this was the finale. Thanks Moz for keeping to your promise and making up the show!

A suprise left for me. I couldnt imagine that they would dress up for today
How Soon is Now Sounded wonderful never herd it live nice Opener.
He said he liked Our Holloween Masks

The venue holds 65,000 but about 30,000 attended... Chaos ensued when they let the lawn people into the lower bowl to fill the no-shows' empty seats and impossibly I was somehow able to still link up with most of my friends and get up even closer than my original Orchestra level tix... The setlist was of course outstanding and Father Moz was in fine form- and his Sisters of Mope: Jesse, Dean-o, Mikey, Gary and Jesse were hysterical in their Nun outfits. Naturally the High Priest of Misery himself was hilarious with his many witty in-between song comments. We shall indeed keep him in our prayers.
I took lots of pix and put them HERE [comcast.net]

My High Priest put on a spectacular show. He was really quite silly near the end of the set which was wonderful to see.
One highlight, quite unintentional, was the stage invader who was pummeled by security during YKICL...as the music swelled the stage invader struggled with three security in what was a surreal mix of violence and beauty, set to strobe lights, rising music and apropos lyrics.
Smashing show. It was well worth the wait!

The Austin, TX show????? (Score:1, Offtopic)
I called someone at The Backyard venue and they told me that ticket sales were very low and that is the reason Morrissey cancelled. I understand that Morrissey is a business man and this is a business. He did not want what happened in Indiana, happen in Austin and Houston. I just wish he didn't lie and say he was sick. It's funny to see people actually wish him good health, when he's lying to us.
I have to admit that I didn't like his new CD and seeing pictures of him as an old man is really uncomfortable. I'm 34 years old, married with two kids and I work long hours. Maybe it's time I move on with my life when it comes to music. I will admit, people do think it's wierd when I wear my Smiths and Morrissey shirts.
I would just like to thank Morrissey for what he did. I think it's time to put this part of me in the past, like the way I have said good bye to high school friends when I got married.
I hope people don't respond with hateful and nasty things. I don't mean any harm.

I only caught the last 4 songs (it's true, the last 5 miles of the 15 after passing the 210 took 30 - 35 minutes, the length it took me to get 40 miles previously!!!) but in an awesome way - I really feel as though it was worth it.
Loving a band like a smiths and listening to the songs I remember playing over and over again in high school made me feel like I was visiting an old friend. Even though I had gone by myself - a rather spontaneous decision - I felt like I was surrounded by the moz family.
And I wouldn't have been impulsive had I not been on this site @ 4:30 to leave and get to Devore @ 6:00. Thanks again all you posters. cheers! - kathee

For months now, whenever something bad would happened to me, I could always comfort myself with the thought that I was going to seen be seeing Morrissey, live in Houston, for the first time, after years of loving him and listening to his music.
Then, it gets cancelled. Which I find out via a cellphone call from a friend who was going see some awful band called Kittie nearby. Right in the middle of the 1.5 hour drive from my town to Houston.
Of course.
Shocked as I was, I don't think it should have come as much of a suprise. Just one more little turd in the pile of shit that is my life.
This entire post is sad and pathetic, I know. But I had to get it off my chest. Seeing Morrissey wouldn't have have been a cure for my problems, of course, but it damn sure would've made me feel better. Feel free to respond with hateful, sneering things to say. I've almost certainly heard worse.
I hate myself, I really do.

STATEMENT ON KROQ & ALICE SHOW'S
September 21, 2004
Thank you to everyone for your kind letters of support and concern about Morrissey’s well being. He sends his very best wishes and looks forward to seeing you all on tour over the next few months starting in Washington next week. What should have been a wonderful triumphant weekend playing to 35,000 of you in LA and 10,000 or you in San Francisco ended on Saturday morning with sinusitis, acute laryngitis and a high fever with orders from Dr Joseph Sugarman to get to bed and not speak for the next 48 hours at a minimum. Sadly we not only had to postpone the shows but also cancel (at great expense!) the video shoot for Let Me Kiss You which was due for Tuesday. The most important thing of course is Morrissey’s health and we are happy to report that with the prescribed rest he will be ready to go next week and we will make an announcement later this week on a special event to make up for the KROQ show that all 35,000 of you who were there on Saturday will get to see AND THE SAME FOR THE ALICE SHOW IN SAN FRANCISCO. On a final note we understand that there are those in the Morrissey community on morrissey-solo.com spreading erroneous rumours about lawsuits and questioning whether KROQ did everything possible to bring you the information in a timely fashion. I can assure you that the rumours are false and the integrity of KROQ cannot be questioned. They handled a very difficult situation impeccably and you should treat anything you are told to the contrary as rubbish.
Best wishes,
Merck Mercuriadis
The Sanctuary Group
Ummm... Merck? You were saying something about an announcement? If this is any indication of how cancellations due to "sickness" are handled, I feel bad for those of you in Texas as well.
Instead of cancelling and rescheduling at your whim, make a fist Morrissey and kiss the arse of those who have kissed yours for all these years.

Morrissey: Well, shouldn't your heart be warm?

Morrissey: Mine is...
This is, um, a disgraceful thought, I know, but
Let Me Kiss You...
Then heaven as he played my favorite song (I don't care if you disagree!!) from YATQ...
In regards to that bush comment, he said
"Bush will KILL YOU"
Amazing what you remember when sober. =-)
See you all at Universal, I hope.
