I absolutely loved my first Morrissey concert in Glasgow on Saturday! Seeing the man, the legend for the first time and getting to the front and almost able to reach out and touch his hand was unforgettable, I'll never forget it. His voice sounded absolutely amazing, the tracks from LIHS worked so well live and he put so much feeling and energy into the performance.

'I Bury the Living' was a stand out track for me live - it sounded fantastic, passionate, angry, emotional.. and the little 'John' song at the end - *sigh* - Morrissey's voice was sublime, just delicious and if anything has improved with age as it's got deeper and more soulful and he still reaches those higher, falsetto notes so effortlessly.

Did I mention how good he looked? He's looking great by the way, very sexy ;)

For me personally, I didn't particularly enjoy 'World Peace is None of your Business'. I like the sentiment behind the song but don't like the twee tune that goes along with it.. it kind of bugs me...

Don't shoot me down in flames but I'm not a fan of 'Chain Gang'. Everyone around me at the front was going mad for it so I know I'm in the minority and it's hugely popular with the fans but I'd rather hear another Smiths track (There is a Light... Bigmouth... I Know it's Over... Panic...) or in my opinion 'classic Morrissey' (Glamorous Glue... You Have Killed Me... Something is Squeezing my Skull.. I'm Throwing my Arms...)

The end was a bit disappointing, it just fizzled out for me and I was surprised when the lights came on. Irish Blood was electric as a finale but I was kind of expecting to hear two songs as an encore and was looking forward to 'Israel' as he played it the night before in Aberdeen but alas, t'was not to be.

For the record, I didn't see any disgruntled Nicola Sturgeon supporters walk out. I think this is, once again, the media making a mountain out of a molehill.

There were a few drunken idiots in the crowd who didn't care who they trampled/elbowed/stood on in their quest to get to the front. I'm sure this is par for the course at concerts (I don't get out much :) ) but I'm only little and was on my own and a couple of times I didn't feel very safe, although there was some sanctuary at the barrier.

I know Boz is much loved by all but does anyone think he was going through the motions a bit on Saturday? As I said, I've never seen Morrissey live before but I didn't think Boz was that engaged in the performance. That said, I was on the right hand side and he was on the left, so I was quite far away from him. Still love him and he's definitely a legend in his own right but he didn't have a 'presence' but perhaps that's because Moz is so centre stage and dominant (as well he should).

I'm so jealous of everyone going to Leeds on Friday, hope you enjoy the show as much as I did! x

I took your comment up wrong - apologies. I agree with you re Antifa and yes of course, not all Israeli's agree with their government's policies. I always bear that in mind no matter my views.

I don’t know enough about the conflict to have deeply held opinions or feelings about it, I only judge people on how I find them and any Israelis I’ve met have been great people and I just love the songs Israel and Tel-Aviv, I’m possibly a bit shallow regarding this subject, just don’t start in on the Irish struggle, once I start on about that I forgot to stop

I love the song, it's beautiful and very poignant. Israel is, of course, the jewel of freedom in the middle east. Democratic debate, religious liberty, lbgt rights, pluralist politics, a media able to criticize govt, artists able to satirize or mock the political leaders. It is unparalleled in that part of the world.
But, of course, there is a shadow hanging over it. All those good things are built on a history of invasion, occupation , ethnic cleansing and force. Millions of people have been evicted from their lands and those who remain are subjected to siege, constant bombing, daily brutality and mass imprisonment.
If you call a song Israel, you cannot complain if people challenge you on it.
Morrissey's song is naieve, at best. Just throwing in the line that he cannot answer for "what armies do" is not good enough.
In "I bury the living" he calls on those who join armies to take responsibility for their decisions, to accept the guilt. Well, Israel's people are soldiers, one and all. The IDF is part of every Israeli family, every citizen.
You can't have it both ways.

As I’ve said I’m not pro or anti Israel and I sympathise with the Palestinian people, you obviously know much more about this particular conflict that I do, ( I’m not being sarcastic btw )

Amongst the bullshit you do still get some nice posts. Cheers for sharing.

I think someone told Boz a while ago (about 20 years ago lol) to calm down on his stage antics - after all its Morrissey's name on the ticket.

Back in the day he used to strut all over the stage like a Poundland Chuck Berry. Age and apathy gets to us all

Fair enough. I will be in Dublin tomorrow night and I hope he sings the song. Israel has the potential to be a very moving live performance, capturing the suffering of the Israeli people (and there is no doubt they have suffered), and it does allude to other suffering in the region too. However, I think there will be a reaction from the crowd if he does sing it. . That's no harm, it's a very political song. He's certainly not taking the safe road with this one and adding to a debate in this manner is very welcome. Israel is guilty of many things, but there are two sides to every conflict.
My bet, he won't have the balls to sing it in Dublin, but I hope to be surprised.

#.......Welcome on board, glad you enjoyed it. May there be many more in your future.

##......Chain gang has run it's course already I think, I was never really into it anyway. Replace it with a Moz standard, I agree.

I'm so jealous of everyone going to Leeds on Friday, hope you enjoy the show as much as I did! x

I thought it was from looking at your post.
That guy in the maroon jacket was a tosser. Though he didn’t last very long.

I didn’t realise you were alone! You seemed to enjoy yourself anyway !
