f*** me, an incredible performance. Why can't Morrissey put that much into his live show? I'm sure it's much easier and critical to put all your energy into 3:30 minutes on national TV as opposed to a full hour into a forgotten gig in the southwest, but this performance reminded me of the Oye Estaban tour... was it over 10 years ago already? And for once Jesse's sloppy over-processed distortion didn't sound out of place--it actually suited the tune. I still think he's an inferior player, but I didn't want to punch him in the throat this time. As for Boz, Luke Action McClure summed it up above nicely--he just seemed bored up there. Eh, it's not the Boz show--as long as he's there anchoring the melody, that's fine enough. Glad to see a trim Morrissey back with a great voice and a bit of a bounce in his step again. I'd love to see that kind of energy in a full concert. I know we all get older and slower, but he proved with this Conan spot that he's still up to the task.
