Just to piss everyone off a bit more. Considering I go to more gigs than most people on this board, I think i deserve my own thread where I can ramble on pointlessly about things that interest about 3 other people, reply to my own posts etc etc.
No highwaymen please. Or Highwaywomen.
Next Stop: Ally Pally on Monday. £6 return on National Express. Result.
EDIT: Thought this thread needed a change of title.
Next stop Glasgow for me.
Catching the train in 2 hours!
Liam, any of the tour tshirts worth buying? I wasn't paying attention to the Dundee merchandise stands.. there was some talk of Moz underpants though!
And his own brand of condoms "Let The Right One Slip In" 
STAND AND DELIVER!
Joke. Where does Morrissey end his tour Liam? Anywhere oop North? Wouldn't mind grabbing a last minute ticket.
You can still get day tickets to V fest at Staffs if you hard enough.
Mozzer and Faithless! Going to be brilliant.

Wouldn't mind one.
I have 196 on DVD. Most of the 2004 and 2002 tours.
Should have a few from 2006 as well soon enough.

yes and they were also banana flavoured Ally, don't forget that
I think Morrissey is a bit like Bernard in the sense that they both grew up outside of manchester, and has a reputation for being a miserable cunt.
Does anybody else have any opinions on this?

There are versions of Dublin, Killkenny or Killarny or whatever the fook its called, Malmo (Sveridge), Wales, Greenock Town Hall and one of the warm up USA shows where he played Stop Me If... & Suedehead which he has now stopped (twat). Quality is nowt flash and same ish setlist.
He still fooking rabbits on to that tit of a woman Julie. Arse
he mentioned in Stirling that he can't play any of the songs he wrote with a certain producer (ie Street) anymore because he's fallen out with him and doesn't want him to get royalties..........

Have you got any from the London Meltdown gigs from 2004? Thats the gig that I stage invaded! Has there been any stage invaders this tour? Will try Monday at Ally Pally and in Reading as well
A couple of guys tried to mount the stage at Dundee but the rapid-response bouncer threw them off again.
He was obviously Morrissey's bouncer, rather than venue security, because he had THE haircut and a short sleeved version of THE t-shirt.
Big lad though.
Glasgow was fucking ace.
A bit better than Dundee overall cos the crowd was livelier. Identical setlists but he played a new song (I'm presuming not a cover) about "the Police enticing you to break their laws" a new b-side probably. The song order was slightly re-arranged with Life Is A Pigsty appearing later in the set.
A few people (students) tried to stage invade but they were pretty efficiently bundled to the side. Someone collapsed as well so the paramedics at the side moved in.
Reader Meets Author was ditched which I was pretty gutted about, if I had my way he'd play an all Southpaw setlist but you can't have everything can you? He's running that Magazine cover into the ground a bit, not a bad song but nobody (at least north of the border) knows how it goes or who it's by etc. He should drop it and play something off Arsenal or Vauxhall in instead.
Top form otherwise and the drummer's a fucking machine! Tobias is a good lad too but I'd like to see Alain back in the fold at some point.
New song is called "Gang Lord" and is the b side to The Youngest Was The Most Loved.
I'm not a big fan of it.
Ally Pally tomorrow. Marks the start of 8 gigs in 12 days.
Almost had a Gateshead ticket for tonight but alas it was not to be.
i need one more blackburn ticket for a real smiths lad,he has early morrissey haircut and all.but anyway if not then- life is a pigsty 
Glasgow was a great gig, great atmosphere too. Some nice tshirts on sale. I managed to get the Ringleader Morrissey tshirt with the red & blue stripes, quality.
Well last night was really good. Nice to be back down the front! Ally Pally is probably the best 'big' venue i've been to. Great set list, although shame about the lack of stuff from the glory years of 92-97. Great atmosphere, if surrounded by a few idiots who went mental for How Soon Is Now and then stood around during the newer (and better) stuff like Youngest Was The Most Loved, In The Future and Killed Me.
Roll on Sheffield Tomorrow night!
And of course, a pleasure as usual to see Ness, Greg, Mark and Vinny.

Liam,are planning on staying in Oxford? I might be going again now but I'll be driving back on Thursday night/Friday morning.Six pack of Red Bull required!
I will be staying in Oxford, i dont think theres much point coming all the way back up to manchester when i've got the Palladium gig on the sunday.
Very good gig in Sheffield last night. Great atmosphere and loads of stage invaders. First time i've heard The Father Who Must Be Killed live.
Yes I see on Morrissey-solo that The Father who must be Killed was played, one of my favourite tracks off ROTT. I'm sure there was a great atmosphere at the gig after Sheffield United's promotion party that day.

just took a look at that website,glad you mentioned it.i like the look of the set lists but suppose not the best smiths songs he could have picked.father that must be killed is a very dark,disturbing track - excellent

Well done.
Me and the Flag will be at the Opera House tonight. cant wait, even though it will probably be no where near as good as last night.
I must say that one of the funniest things yesterday was the old woman who came to talk to me about Jesus and all that nonsense, who was sent on her merry way wondering what the "Church Of Boz Boorer" is.
Listened to some of his tracks from the latest album before. But what's with the depressing song titles like "You Have Killed Me" or "The Father Who Must Be Killed" and "Dear God, Please Help Me" 
Killed Me and Father arent depressing at all!
Dear God is shit.
The titles just fit the song i guess.
Must agree with Liam - this was the best show i have see him do, even beat the 02' tour when he played 'proper' Smiths songs. He mixed the set list up quite nicely.
And we had old skool fights when he chucked his shirts into the crowd. Tops for atmosphere
Watering Can wrote: Does he tell jokes ?
He did say it was about time Tony Bliar was hung & beheaded. That was funny
BANSHEE FATHER THAT MUST BE KILLED, SOUNDS LIKE OUR SIMONS LIFE WITH HIS 15 YEAR OLD STEP SON VERY DISTURBING. OR SHOULD I JUST PLAY IT TO HIM ,THEN WATCH HIM HANG HIMSELF?
:p
i wish all those people that got the tickets to see Mozzer in Mcr (how?????) could shut up instead of rubbing it in!
Was trying for 15 mins when i got the message that they were sold out, 15 sodding minutes!!!!!
Not to mention when i had to face all those happy fans coming back from the gig, shen i went out (he's played in town on sat, sun and today...)mixed with Take That fans
Anyway, i'll see him at Roskilde Festival next month along with Bob Dylan, Guns'n'Roses, Goldfrapp, The Streets, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Coldcut, Editors, Front 242, Happy Mondays...................
Cannot wait 
Stop moaning - you miss out, you have to pay top dollar. Depends if you want it that much. E-bay is a bastard but it does prove a lifesaver from time to time :D
going to see morrissey as much as you have, liam, is so f*cking pathetic.
get a life, you candy ass.
*stomps off*
Well, tonight was superb. Bridgewater Hall wasnt as bad as it could've been.
Only problem was the bastard fucking cunts that consisted of the security team. One of them stabbed Barry (who a few on here will know) with their torch, and then kicked him out, and looked like they were going to give him a good kicking. Thankfully they didnt. Although quite why they did it barry doesnt know.
During How Soon Is Now, i ran down the front to try and get a handshake, security wasnt having any of it, and i was speared by three people for the trouble. I think the poor girl who did it came off worse though. As during the encore I tried again, didnt quite get a handshake, although Moz did say "sorry" to me, and i kept the main security guard busy for at least 30 seconds while loads of people got past the younger, and smaller ones easily for a handshake. I got called a "fucking wanker" for my trouble, and i replied "thanks!" The guy was seriously pissed off though, as he prided himself on being top dog there, basically by being a complete CUNT all night and yet he couldnt fight me off. little old me!
Seriously good gig though. Better than the night before but no where near as good as Saturday. Although Boz and Gary did acknowledge the flag tonight.
Roll on Halifax!
you know, if you hadn't spent so much money on these stupid boringssey gigs we might have been able to get VIP tickets to liverpool.
twat.
bastard. i'm not a well woman and you speak to me this way!i'll come, damn it. you'd better believe i'm coming. i'm coming, liam!!!!
Shouldnt be a problem. Incidentally, which RFH gig were you at in 04? I have the first one on DVD.

It's that simple: I am not going to attend any of Morrisey shoes.
And by one of our very own:
Morrissey @ Bridgewater Hall
Lucy Tomlinson
Morrissey08/05/06
I KNOW the worship of Morrissey borders on the religious at times, the devotion of his fans fanatical, but was there a genuine miracle at The Bridgewater last night?
For it seemed that in the now traditional ritual of reaching out to grasp Morrissey’s hand, one believer actually rose from his wheelchair for a chance to touch the hem of the Great One’s sleeve.
But don’t call the Vatican just yet. Despite Rome being the new home of the Mozfather, it looks like the chances of canonization are slim.
The Bridgewater Hall was an appropriately church-like setting for this, not the second, nor even third, but the fourth coming of Morrissey to Manchester on the Ringleader of the Tormentors tour.
From the magnificent Bridgewater organ to the expectant congregation huddled in their pews, the atmosphere was reverent rather than rowdy.
Jaunty
Faith was rewarded with the jaunty opening ‘First of the Gang to Die’ which had even the older members of the audience grooving in their seats. The momentum carried through with a rapture-inducing version of Still Ill.
While that and the other songs from the Smiths back catalogue were undoubtedly highlights of the set, the songs from the new album, which have been adored by critics but somewhat more guardedly praised by fans, revealed themselves in their truly lush and subtle colours.
Life is a Pigsty was transformed into a bombastic weatherstorm of trademark world-weariness, all thundercrashes and longing whispers.
Depths
You Have Killed Me and I Will See You in Far Off Places also benefited from being played live, pulling out the depths of sound that are masked on record.
Moz himself looked as dapper as ever, alternatively basking and ignoring the adulation of the crowd.
Judging by his energy and good humour Roman life must agree with him.
Still Morrissey can’t escape his legacy, especially not in this town. How Soon is Now, which saw him bathed in bloody reds like a human sacrifice, drew the most rapturous response of the evening.
And during Girlfriend in a Coma my companion sighed ecstatically ‘Did you ever think you would see this performed live?’ No, indeed but judging by the age of the crowd quite a few of them already had.
However, innocent or experienced it was treat for Morrissey fans of all creeds. A call to prayer indeed.
Can one of the Mods fix the thread pls?
Looks like a (/quote) tag is missing in either Spam or Bansheeman's posts?
Ta muchly! :)

jem,there's still one (and only one) PAIR of blackburn tickets left on ebay,they can be picked up on the night
Spare seated ticket for Halifax tonight if anyone is interested.
Jemma? Girl Afraid? Anyone?
Should be ok for a pint. Depends on what time i get there and whether I see Kristeen Young tonight. I can miss her tomorrow, but deffo want to see her tonight and liverpool as missed her on Sunday and Monday.
Leaving work now. Not sure I can really be arsed tonight.
However, I have to be there, because if i wasnt no doubt he'd do a circa 1995 esque set list!

I made it onstage on the second of the three RFH Meltdown gigs..June 25?
I'm interested in any of the Kill Uncle/Your Arsenal tours especially..
Uncle Liam wrote: *prays for a Southpaw Grammar heavy set*
That's the one downside of this tour, he's been very indulgent with the setlists. It's fair enough playing a sizeable chunk of the new album as it is the tour's namesake but to not play anything off Vauxhall, Arsenal or Viva Hate is a bit of an oversight; his three most successful and popular albums!
The Magazine cover died on it's arse at Dundee & Glasgow.
Blackburn King Georges tonite meeting in the jubilee pub across from king g hall, if you fancy a few pre gig beers.bring it on mozzer....

Actually, Quarry is his most succesful album!
Uncle Liam wrote: Actually, Quarry is his most succesful album!
And he's playing bugger all off that one too! 
Well aside from the two singles.
What? IBEH, First of the Gang, Let Me Kiss You. And if you include the deluxe edition: My Life is an endless succession of people saying goodbye. I Have forgiven jesus and I Like You have also been played on tour.
Shit, silly me, you're right of course. For some reason Let Me Kiss You and MLIASOPSG (what an acronym) didn't stick in my mind, especially the b-side.
He didn't play Jesus or I Like You at the Scottish dates I went to so I'm just reflecting on personal experience 
Didn't he also do Suedehead at the start of the tour? Why on earth did he ditch that, would've loved to have heard it instead of the some shit Quarry b-side and the Magazine cover.
just got back from blackburn king george's.monty and liam are still in the car back to manc,so ive nicked in to post first
IT WAS FUCKING ACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
life's a pigsty and irish blood,english heart were the best for me.spam threw his shirt on stage with the help of jane.could see liam with his flag waving ( yes he was allowed to in blackburn ) . the jubilee pub across from venue put on a smiths/mozzer disco which made the night even better (and no burnley bastards were allowed in ) .magic night
WHEY-HEY!!
Thanks lads.It was a top night in old mosh-pit.Highlights for me..FATHER WHO MUST BE KILLED (favourite of Ringleader),LIFE IS A PIGSTY,IRISH BLOOD,and of course two blinding Smiths tunes..GIRLFRIEND IN A COMA and HOW SOON IS NOW?
Didn't have time to pick up a camera which was a shame,because I managed to push up to the front.Here's some of the camera phone though.
Liam see you in a couple of weeks mate! Grant,Spam see you two soon an' all!!

Liverpool was... well... wierd. Moz was on something and Boz was obviously pissed. Changed the order of songs a bit as well. Philamornic is the worst venue I have ever been in.
does the band always wear shirts that make them look like a) they work on wall street, b) they're in the mafia, or c) they're waiters at a restaurant that caters to the mafia?
Speaking of which..Liam's avatar looks like the bands shirts were washed together with Moz's red shirt.OOOPS!

the band didnt seem to get in the same frenzy when you threw your shirt on stage though wayne 
i now can see that this is actually a dangerous thread when ive just finished a bottle of dark navy rum
so i am playing now - " i never wanted to kill,i am not naturally evil "
The band tobias i think just kicked my shirt to one side. Iwould of had it back if they arn't gunna at least try it on for size. It woz my favorite shirt bastards.
Can't be bothered reading over all the pages, have you finished yet or are there more gigs to come Uncle Liam?
Have you obtained any new shirt fragments??
Just checked ebay, you can get a ticket for tomorrows Palladium gig for a tenner. cant go myself as have to go and see Kloot at night and day cafe tomorrow.
Oh yeah. Will do a proper skive later hopefully and do a proper report.
Played Panic and Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One before though.
As good as Panic was, they should never do it again.
Uncle Liam wrote: No new shirt fragments i'm afraid :(
Ten gigs done. A mere two to go. Oxford and London.
don't you get bored shitless. or do you just HAVE TO GO!!
I enjoyed the Oxford gig,but I was up in the rafters.It was like looking in on someone's Xmas Day house party from outside in the cold. Mozzer commented on Oxford's stance on animal vivisection,saying "We're gonna get you". Meanwhile downstairs in the lobby,where some animal rights suppoters were gathering petitions,it kicked off good style!
Vinnie,
what i'll do is i've got all me moz bootlegs on 4 dvds. I'll post them to you, and you can pick and choose what you want, but you'll need to send them back to me. Is this OK?
Anyone else fancy doing this let me know and we can just send them all around...
You know, I had no idea that Morrissey, liked it up the ass.
I've heard one song of his, solo career, and laughed then cried, then ran.....or so I felt like it.
straight. thank you very much. 
and the winner of the much coveted and highly contested "NOOL Cunt of the year award" goes to stellartwat.

Who is wanting my offer of bootlegs then? I wont be sending any 2006 ones, because they are all easily downloadable, at least the ones which are available.
