So much to comment on my 21st Morrissey concert at the Met in Philadelphia last night! Here we go!
Even though I have dropped weight, my 55-year-old body is too old for parking miles away in the heat and walking 10 floors to the Mez! I was exhausted and sweaty when I sat down. Then, on the way out- I discover they had a freakin’ elevator!!
I think he is great with catering towards his Gen X crowd. No opening band and start the show around nine! We have stuff to do!
His voice is still mystical in his 60s, and his current band is beyond talented!
The set list was one of the best! It was almost a “greatest hits” selection if his time with The Smiths and his solo career.
I still get excited when they bring the stand-up bass for a song!
The audience was great with not doing any “stage invasions” which I hate. He just started again after getting death threats and he is not any younger. The crowd got it!
I never got anything out of religion, never belonged in a cult and I am not a “spiritual” person. Hearing these songs and being mesmerized is my inner Zen!
A great, great night! Opening with “There Is a Light” was beautiful!
Here is the setlist and a full video someone put on You Tube this morning! Here is to 21 more!
And remember:
“And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Oh, there is a light, and it never goes out”
Setlist:
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out / Suedehead / Alma Matters / How Soon Is Now? / Lost / Half A Person / First Of The Gang To Die / Shoplifters Of The World Unite / Life Is A Pigsty / Everyday Is Like Sunday / I Know It's Over / All The Lazy D***s / The Loop / Let Me Kiss You / Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me / Jack The Ripper / I Will See You In Far-Off Places // I Won't Share You / Irish Blood, English Heart
