Summary by Adam
Overall a really, incredibly LAME crowd. No one jumped any seats to get on stage. They
just stood there right in front of their seats. Draconian - if somewhat clueless -
security as well. Morrissey comes on and says "Hello Russia!" and at different
points... "I used to be the keyboard player in the Partridge Family and here's one of
our rock-and-roll songs." (Paint) "Is anyone here from England?" "I
suppose you'll all move to Miami eventually anyway." Very boring show. Sorry to say
it. Personally, it was nice to kind of hang back and actually view things and listen a bit
more.
Summary by Michael Friar
Last night I saw my first ever Morrissey concert, and I was severly disappointed. It was
not the Moz's fault. The audience was lackluster so the it wasn't how Morrissey concerts
are supposed to be. Some people tried to get on the stage but were brutually ripped off by
security. It was worse than 'Live in Dallas'. There was one time that Morrissey was pulled
over by a fan (while shaking hands) because the security were pulling him. Then, the
anti-stage-diving security person ran over when Morrissey was pulled over the first time,
but the security person knocked him over AGAIN!! I was very disappointed that Morrissey
was only on for an hour and a quarter. I understand why he went off, but I still am very
pissed off with the security. I hope that one day I will be able to see a proper Morrissey
concert.
Summary by Matthew Jackson
Moz was heavy on the gyrating Elvis kitsch (He's So Sexy!). The crowd was very into it,
chucking more lillies than I have seen this life! GOOD LORD, Moz took more letters from
more people. Christ, his pants pockets must have been full. (Near the end, one guy got up
and started hugging on Moz, crying and groping while he was dragged by the arm. Another a
minute later was promptly, awkwardly headlocked and schlep'd before he could do anything.)
By the encore ("Shoplifters"), the joint was in a frenzy of shouting screaming
and whatnot. |
