unbelievable gig (Score:0)
but the amazing thing was at the end. Like in the other recent shows he was looking like he's about to quit or something - but after the first encore he came back out for one final song.
I know it's over. Amazing. Maybe only a third of the crowd were still there but there were lots of people shouting morrissey, morrissey so he came out and played that one song, after the standard encore. Totally blew me away, best moment of my life
he changed the words of i know it's over to "oh mother i can feel the soil falling over me now"
It was a totally amazing moment, and a fucking awesome show.
Even if he retires, i can rest happy knowing i was there tonight.

If true, I can't believe I missed it, when my way started i thought that was the end

a double encore of last night I dreamt and there is a light for the second time, then a final "I Know It's Over" - the perfect night, and even better for the fact not everyone remained behind to catch encore 2.
Oh and irish blood was incredible - again. They're perfected the guitar outro with Jesse.
People were actually crying during "I Know It's Over"
Full report tomorrow!

Point Depot Gig (Score:0)
While I am one of the hardcore I was frustrated that he played TIALTNGO twice the first time was straight after Munich which seemed really lifeless and flat and then as an encore.There was a sluggidh feel to the middle of his set til it was brought back to life Shoplifters and then an awesome version of IBEH.
Moz has much better material in his cannon and could have possibly made the set more consistant.
I saw him at the MEN gig which f8cking blew me away but tonight I felt the tour finished on a whimper rather than a punch.
If he does record a new album in the future I hope he takes inspiration from the power of IBEH and pushes his creativity further.
As a final gig of the year I was expecting it the performance to have more agression and more polished.

Not so good (Score:0)
Not a wonderful gig
good in parts; How Soon Is Now? opener, Redondo Beach and Shoplifters rocked
Bigmouth was entertaining, Irish Blood English Heart - thrilling as always. There Is A Light strangely subdued
Left as Last Night I Dreamt came on (had seen it performed live before anyway) and the last bus for Newbridge goes at 11pm.
First time in my life I have had to leave a gig for that reason but I hadn't the energy to wait for the 12:30am "Nightrider special"
Overall - average with too much emphasis on the mediocre You Are The Quarry stuff.
The perfect set would have been Southpaw Grammar from start to finish and nothing else but that was never going to happen.
So could that have been the last Morrissey gig ever?

I Got The Point (Score:1)
I was delighted to hear such favourites as "The More You Ignore Me...." and "Last Night I Dreamt"
The band were in fine form with Boz clowning around at the end balancing a guitar on his head.
This was my third time to see Morrissey this year. He looked great and the voice was sublime. Three lucky people made it onstage for a hug and security were agreeably gentle with them. I would rate it as one of his best gigs this year.
Hope to see him again....maybe in 2006?

Anyway, it's really not his fault if he's annoying. You see his parents abused him in ghastly sexual ways when he was a child. The trauma he suffered is enough to turn anyone into a dysfunctional, low intelligence asshole. It's a wonder he's managed to stay out of institutions. Well, unfortunately once he did molest his grandmother, but that was purely the result of his own abuse. He also has issues with exposing himself to children in public conveniences, but he's been working on that really hard.
In short, I know he's an inhumane, idiotic creep, but it's only because he's been denied the love that most people take for granted.

Gladiator returns triumphant! (Score:1)
This was an entirely different gig to Dublin Castle; it was an ace arena celebration, with close to full house, fuelled floor-full with a prolonged swell of welcoming enthusiasm. Remma sounded fine as an initial vibrant warm-up, with people steadily swarming in, and James Maker was quite impressive; powerful resonant voice with a couple of beautiful atmospheric numbers. A support band rarely has it easy. The suspense mounted with energetic loud football chants; Jobriath songs rang out, and the Imperfect list of ills of the world was very effective. It was like someone switched the crowd onto an electric current when Morrissey and the band walked on, and the magical mesmerized vibes were non-stop till the finale. My impression was that he really appreciated the mass unrestrained ardour of the packed crowd, saying ‘well, my friends, this (emphasis, pause) is the Point!’ This is what he’s in it for, the team effort. This is communion, Fr Morrissey-style, and all dressed up for the occasion! The first song was the incomparable HSIN, though, overwhelmed with a sense of fuses blowing, metaphorically speaking, it was hard to focus for a while - ‘Oh my soul…!’
I had arrived with anxious responsibility, having persuaded 5 companions to join me, but I needn’t have worried. They were all transfixed, which was a treat. One observed how interestingly Morrissey flexes his eyebrows, while another was fascinated with his astounding range of expression and his gestures! Seriously! That was on top of being profoundly affected by the whole experience, having been Smiths devotees. Another recent convert with occasional claustrophobia was immediately soothed as by a lullaby, despite us being cramped about 10 rows from the front, even if he missed his favourite CBTC. The version of Redondo Beach was delicious; the newish b-side ‘Friday Mourning’ stunning. I was delighted to hear ILY and YKICL. November and Ignore me were fanstastic. He choked ‘please stop’ at the strident mantra arising from the audience at the end of TIALTNGO, but, dare I say it, crocodile tears, I suspect – all that opera’s going to his head a bit, in a nice way! We questioned why, despite it being a sure pleaser, it was also played at the end but maybe Jesse’s catching up with the repertoire? I had high hopes of seeing Alain back; not yet it seems.
Security were helpful, good-natured and alert. They had to step in to break up a row over a shirt (2 I think, were thrown) in front of us, and oversee a couple of stage invasions; nothing major. The man himself was also diplomatic, no repeat of controversial comments with unfortunate consequences as happened in June. Since then in my eyes, he appears more confident and more competent to handle the overall crowd reaction. He was having a great time, numerous laughs, which enhanced the attraction of the whole show. He spoke about animals suffering particularly at this time of year, while a few opportunities remain for shop-lifting, before that song. He located Julia where nearby someone obviously expressed warm sentiments, to which he replied that he has never been prone to attachment. He is a free agent, living morally, open-eyed, honestly, and to the full. I myself however am somewhat prone to attachment, and, witnessing him safe, in top fettle, with his musical future brighter than ever, I think I must pay more attention to myself for a while, in order to alleviate the Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays etc, and not to ‘drop down dead!’
So viva Morrissey, viva all his fans, as he would wish himself!
Christmas blessings, and here’s to precocious rampant pervasive number ones for everyone in 2005!

A REALLY GREAT GIG !!! BETTER THAN DUBLIN CASTLE WHICH WAS IN ITSELF REALLY GOOD
BAND PLAYED OUT OF THEIR SKINS !
MORRISSEY SOUNDED BETTER THAN I'VE EVER HEARD HIM ! (even sang the falsetto bit to FOTGTD & the ending to TIALTNGO which I dont think he has done before LIVE ?!?!? SOLO ! )
HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME WERE... 'HOW SOON' 'NOVEMBER' 'IRISH BLOOD' LAST NIGHT I DREAMT' AND ABOVE ALL ... 'BIGMOUTH' MORRISSEY & BAND REALLY GAVE IT EVERYTHING ON THAT ONE.
MORRISSEY AFTER 'NOVEMBER ' (i think) SAID "THANK YOU GLASNEVIN" WHICH IS A VERY SMALL DUBLIN SUBURB WHERE I LIVE, IT MADE ME LAUGH NO END.
'REDONDO BEACH' & 'FRIDAY MOURNING' WERE UNEXPECTED HIGHLIGHTS.
'DADDYS VOICE' & 'I lIKE YOU' WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT
CONTRARY TO SOME OTHER FOLK HERE... HE DID NOT PLAY 'I KNOW ITS OVER' AT ANY STAGE !
MORRISSEY WAS ON GREAT FORM, LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT, ESPECIALLY THE STAGE INVADERS, HE GOT ONE HELL OF A BEAR HUG DURING THE 2ND 'THERE IS A LIGHT' BUT HE JUST LAUGHED !
YOU COULD SEE A TEAR OR TWO IN HIS EYE ON THE BIG SCREEN WHEN HE PLAYED 'LAST NIGHT' AND THERE WAS ONE IN MINE TOO.
I REALISED TONIGHT HOW GREAT DEANO IS ON THE DRUMS
JESSE IS NOT A BETTER GUITARST THAN ALAIN IMHO BUT FILLS IN WELL NONE THE LESS
BOZ IS... WELL BOZ !!!
GARY IS PROBABLY THE MOST UNDERRATED BASS PLAYER EVER !
MIKEY FILLS ALL THE GAPS BRILLIANTLY
THE AFTERSHOW IN THE HUB WAS GOOD FUN ! DIDNT LEAVE TILL 3AM
THOSE WHO EVER FOR A SECOND BELIEVED THAT MOZZER WAS ABOUT TO RETIRE OR EVEN CONSIDERED THE POSSABILITY CAN REST ASSURED THAT HE WILL BE THERE FOR US AS LONG AS HE CAN AND AS LONG AS WE WANT HIM TO BE.
2004 HAS BEEN THE YEAR OF MORRISSEY... SO WHY CAN'T 2005 ....?
LOADS MORE I COULD SAY BUT....... I'M OH SO TIRED,
LOVE TO ALL AND I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT XMAS WHEREVER YOU ARE .

Morrissey put paid in his own way to the rumours that he was retiring - hes not and its plainly obvious from his comments on stage on Monday night re: having to play smaller venues next year etc.
The show was great - lots of bsides - but what do you expect - hes trying to sell an album which is half bsides - so theres the reason in the same way that during the summer he played more from yatq
the highlight has to be how soon is now - what an experience to finally hear that song played live - even better than the recording imo!
Other highlights were redondo beach, ibeh, shoplifters.
His voice on the night was incredible - especially coming at the end of such a long tour.
Certainly not the end - lookibg forward to next year - be it the point or whelans

I know I'm a bit late posting but just got back from the fair city.
Compared to Birmingham NIA , the Dublin gig was fantastic. How the whingers can find fault I'll never know (then again, they're whingers... that's what they do!). I have to say that I haven't enjoyed a gig so much since I last saw The Smiths... and I've been to a lot of gigs!
The atmosphere, the affinity between audience and Moz, the satisfaction apparent in both - really, really superb.
'There Is A Light...' was actually better the first time but what a wonderful feeling when it was also the farewell song. There were many highlights and 'November...' has long been my favourite Morrissey song but I'd been anticipating "Irish Blood..." and the surge of emotion as it began was out of this world!
No need to go on really but "Thanks, Mozzer" and we'll see you next year.
