After the ecstasy of Portsmouth, I was a bit concerned what an outdoor Morrissey gig would be like…the set list was basically the same and the atmosphere just as good. There is the nice architecture of Leeds Town Hall and Leeds City Museum surrounding Millennium Square, as visited in the year 2000 by Nelson Mandela. Like Portsmouth, it wasn’t sold out but both gigs couldn’t have fitted many more in. Great sound. Sweet & Tender Hooligan was played at the end and so there was no encore, with a few mumbles of disappointment from the masses.

Little Brewdog cans were £6 a piece so had to drink two at a time. Best comedy bit was the mention of “impure thoughts, or sexual inter course as it is now and I’ve had three girlfriends..it’s a big number..I know that..Virginia Woolfe, Diana Dors and Ena Sharples.”

Well worth the journey and a fantastic night. I’m off to the Morrissey disco now in my Boxers tour t -shirt if you’d like to ignore me…wish me luck!

[Robert Lee]

The best song was Girlfriend with a boner

 

[Anonymous]

Who is Doug?

He's Morrissey's new backing dancer for this tour. He's very flexible. Prepare to be dazzled.

 

[Mozzer1980]

Our Frank

 

[Mozzer1980]

I"m gonna get you !

 

[Kennethwilliamsunderstudy]

With your legs in that position.. are you going to drink that bottle or.. insert it?

Wednesday night in outpatients ...

It's still a shit song, but I didn't hear any heckling in my area tonight.

 

[Young And Alive]

Sigh.

He makes tepid rubbish like that and has the temerity to wonder why he can't get a record deal.

 

[Tom]

let me guess, same setlist as every night?

You must be new here...

#2

 

[Anne Coats]

This run in the middle is a tough old slog and I like I Wish You Lonely!

Paris
Notre Dame
I Wish You Lonely
Sure Enough; The Telephone Rings
The Night Pop Dropped

 

[A Man Escaped]

Sigh.

He makes tepid rubbish like that and has the temerity to wonder why he can't get a record deal.

Indeed. Makes Sorrow Will Come In The End sound memorable.

 

[Mozzer1980]

Moz opened the show with an acapella bit of Little Man What Now:

"Too old to be a child star, too young to take...Leeds!"

 

[Malc]

Strewth. It doesn’t get any better with repeated listens, does it?

 

[Kennethwilliamsunderstudy]

This run in the middle is a tough old slog and I like I Wish You Lonely!

Paris
Notre Dame
I Wish You Lonely
Sure Enough; The Telephone Rings
The Night Pop Dropped

wish u lonely is great ... telephone rings is a bouncy brief bop too . the 2 new songs have a certain groove to them . I was glad of a run of tracks the arseholes didn't know as it all calmed down a bit

 

[George V]

Notre Dame again. It's just a question of time before the British press is all over this. Didnt he cancel at Castlefield some years ago because of bad press/accusations et al? The Dave Haslam feud.

 

[Young And Alive]

Indeed. Makes Sorry Will Come In The End sound memorable.

I just don't understand what's happened to him over the last 10 years (or more).

His lyrics are clumsy and unoriginal. The music is uninspiring.

I want to like the new stuff, but I just don't. And the scary thing is, it isn't just the new stuff. I said on here recently that the last genuinely solid album he put out was Years of Refusal. That was 2009. Fourteen years ago.

That's like if everything after Bona Drag had been shit until You Are the Quarry.

He's been coasting for far too long and blaming everyone else for his problems. It's tiresome.

Get your shit together Morrissey or just retire.
